- "TGIF" is now passe. Everybody is happy when Friday finally arrives. I rather like "TGIT" -- Thank God It's Thursday -- because it means Friday is coming. It also means something else: a new episode of "Supernatural"!
- The "Supernatural" addiction has become completely ridiculous. Still, being able to turn off my brain and simply enjoy some entertainment is a welcome break from the usual nerd-toil. In fact, I shall call my now habitual Thursday night spate of non-thinking "Stupornatural." For an hour tonight, I shall do nothing more strenuous than text my fellow addicts as we watch. (See if they have any escapism. Get me some escapism! I love me some escapism.)
In the end? Today is Thursday at last, and I can see the end of the week coming! Hooray! Of course, this puts me in mind of a quotable exchange from the show:
Dean: I'm tired. It's like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, you know?My friends and I had always joked that the "light at the end of the tunnel" is really an oncoming train -- usually high-speed. But "hellfire"? So much more appropriate for Nerdworld!
Sam: It's hellfire, Dean.
Dean: Eh, whatever.
In honor of tonight's playful distraction, and also in tribute to those evil enablers of my vice (you know who you are), I give you this, just emailed to me by the worst enabler of all, the Cine-Sib. I think he watches the show more for Dean Winchester's classic car than the narrative!

I've always wondered why the director or the producers picked a four-door Impala which at the time of production would have been considered strictly a mom and dad car. The lighter Camaros, Novas and Malibus were the choice of the younger drivers which Sam and Dean's father was when he bought it.
An inside joke?
