Mardi Gras!

Laissez les bon temps roulez!

It's Mardi Gras! Time for red beans and rice, beignets, pralines, and king cake! Time for N'Awlins jazz, beads, costumes, and gold, green, and purple.

I went to Mardi Gras with my parents and a couple of their friends many years ago. I wish I'd been keeping a journal back then, because it was an Ad. Ven. Ture. and on the out-of-control-wild scale, we were very tame. Maybe next year, if I'm still on LJ, I'll post about it. 'Cause even without the getting naked and random sex and drunkness, it was a blast! (Mardi Gras really is what you make of it. And it cannot be explained. It must be experienced.)

( In other morning news )

I'm hoping my copy of Venice magazine arrives today. I'm looking forward to sitting down with that particular read.

Happy Mardi Gras!

*sob*

Just got a notice from the seller of the Venice mag, refunding my money because there was an error in the listing.

No magazine for me. And I'm sorry, whitemartyr. That means I won't be able to scan the Billie Piper stuff for you, either.

Old-ish Jensen interview

Hey, kimmer1227! I found that interview we were talking about. It's a 2-part interview on TVGuide.com, dated October 2007. The information we were talking about is in Part 2.

The Interwebz, they are a good thing

So, a couple days ago, as I was sitting in my living room here in Virginia, I discovered that Jensen was going to be featured in Venice magazine.

So I got on-line and asked my friends in California (on the other side of the continent) if they could go on a treasure hunt.

Then someone in NY told me that the mags were available on eBay.

I was additionally excited to discover that there would be a feature of interest to an f-listie in Europe. And of course the f-listie in Russia.

So I and another f-listie from Ohio ordered said magazines.

Alas, there was a mistake in the listing, so we don't get our mags.

But then sarcasticval, being the good, enabling fannish enabler that she is, offered to purchase them direct from . . . the publisher? I think? Anyway, so the interwebz are serving their purpose.

To that end, if anyone reading this would like their own copy of the Venice magazine, you can contact SarcasticVal here.

Ain't the internet grand?

In other great news, SPN has been renewed for a 5th season. I'm afraid to think of the cliffhanger they're going to give us this year.
