Hi again, guys! As you all know, I dearly love movies and books and all other such things. You’ve also probably figured out that I tend to get really excited about things that I enjoy – even a bit giddy. I have also over the years collected quote upon quote upon quote – the location of which I’m not exactly sure of. They’re scattered in journals, notebooks, post-its, and the like from my bedroom to the living room to the kitchen to my storage unit.
For a while I’ve been wanting a central location for such things that I love, because they make me giddy, happy, sad, or just make me think. Now I have one.
I started creating an HTML chart such as I did with my Progress chart above and then realized what a major pain it was going to be, so I finally did a search for a WordPress Plugin that would create the table for me. And score! Enter WP-Table Reloaded. Man, I love this plugin. In fact, I may redo my Progress chart with it, so that I don’t have to update the html code each week at weigh in.
You can click on the link in the toolbar above or click here to see my chart of quotes and video clips. It’s even sortable by column or you can search by word or phrase. Pretty awesome! I went through some lists of quotes that I’ve made recently and have added those, but I know that I have a ton more to add – if I can only track them down. So I will be updating this fairly regularly (hopefully). You can even sort by date added to see what’s new. Check it out if you’re interested.
Right now, it is fairly heavily weighted towards the show “Supernatural,” just because that’s what I’ve been watching lately. I’ve been writing down things that struck me as funny or that I just liked as I watched. And there are a few video links for it, as well, since like my “Lbs.” movie page, this is going to be my one-stop shopping spot for the things I enjoy so that I don’t have to track them down again.
On a side note: I came across another great review for the movie “Lbs.” by someone else who just happened to stumble across it. Literally. He just happened to come across the theater while he was in DC and saw the title when he looked through the window. Check it out here. I was going to quote part of his review here, but really, just read the whole thing. It’s great and not very long.
And just because I have a very addictive personality (I know, you’d never guess, would you?), I’m breaking down and sharing some great Supernatural clips. The first is quite possibly one of the greatest and most heartbreaking scenes I’ve ever seen on TV. If you haven’t seen the end of Season 3 or Season 4 of it yet and/or ever plan on watching them, then you probably won’t want to watch since it contains major spoilers. But just damn. Jensen Ackles is an amazing actor. So if you’ve seen it already, you probably know what I’m talking about and won’t mind watching it again. Or if you’ve never seen it and don’t mind spoilers (like me, since I technically saw this scene before I got to that episode), take a gander. You’ll probably have to click through to YouTube to watch.
And this one contains scenes from one episode related to a Teddy Bear with “Lollipop Disease.” Sounds silly, I know, but I think it’s hysterical (and a bit twisted at the end). Doesn’t give away any major spoilers for the show. Again, you’ll probably have to click through to YouTube to watch this one, as well. I think they’re both worth it though!
One of the things I love about this show is the relationship between the two brothers. There are many episodes, especially in S3 and S4 that made me think about my relationship with and loss of my brother. But one thing that cracks me up is how they kind of have pet names for each other: Dean calls Sam “Bitch,” and then Sam immediately calls Dean “Jerk,” or vice versa. For my brother and I, he was “putz,” and I was “moron.” I know, I think he got the better end of the deal. And we got ours after watching the movie “Grumpy Old Men.” But the way Dean and Sam say it in the video below (in two scenes starting at about 1:00) is exactly how we used to do it.
Okay, on that note…I SWEAR I will get to bed at a reasonable time tonight! I must get sleep!
