Random thoughts on a Monday morning . . .

[feliciakw]

So. Random thinky thoughts.

1. Adam is in Heaven until I hear otherwise. Before the final smackdown last season, Dean said to Adam/Michael, "Adam, if you're in there, I'm so sorry" (or something like that). To which Michael replied, "Adam isn't home right now." I'm going to take that as meaning that Michael kept his word (as Castiel says angels do in "The Rapture") that Michael sent Adam back to Heaven to be with his mom. I think this might possibly be the reason why Castiel said Sam's soul is still in the Cage with Lucifer and Michael. He didn't mention Adam, because Adam isn't there.

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

2. The opening title smash. I was thinking about that this morning, and how there are those who believe that it's not just glass shattering, but specifically, a mirror shattering. And then I started thinking about the lore that involves the connection between mirrors and the soul. Such as the belief that a soul can be trapped inside a mirror (Show has actually gone there already with "Bloody Mary.") How looking into a mirror, one is actually looking at one's soul. How mirrors are windows into the spirit world. How mirrors reflect only truth. Etcetera, etcetera, and so on. And that got me to wondering if mirrors are going to play a role in getting Sam's soul back.

Also, read Mirror Mask, by tahirire. Because it's pretty darn awesome.

3. Oddly enough, while driving home from the train depot through the dark empty streets of C'peper, it occurred to me that I actually felt more comfortable, and maybe safer, walking the busy, bustling, bright streets of NYC with Geo. I like where we live--where our house is situated, the views, the quiet, etc. But I really rather wish we had easier access to the big city. Ya know?

4. Watched Perfume: Story of a Murderer last night. Fascinating movie up until the climax. Then it just got weird.

5. Geo pulled out our DVD of The Addams Family TV show yesterday. Heh.

4. Lisa has started talking to me a little bit. I've often wondered how she would react to Sam calling her from Dean's cell or showing up at her door sans Dean. (Izhi? That fic you mentioned? I've been wanting to read it for a while. Even before you thought of it. *nods*) Maybe something will come of it. Maybe not. Dunno.

5. Yesterday, our new pastor mentioned The Addams Family, specifically Cousin Itt, in the sermon. I did a double fist pump and might have drawn a little attention to myself.

I think that's it for now.

I think you are spot on about Adam.

I used to live in the country. A trip to the nearest Walmart or Target was 20 minutes. Saturday I had to make an emergency ink run for Ari and I went to Target and back in 20 minutes. It is nice being close to things. But I still miss the country sometimes.

A 20 minute trip to Target . . . that I can handle. A 1-hour drive to the nearest shopping mall? To church? To the doctor? Yeah, that gets to me after a while.

But it's nice to be able to see the stars, and not have neighbors shouting at 3am, or have the kids in the back alley crank up their car stereos until my kitchen windows rattle.

So there is that. :-)

I think the writers forgot about Adam. Which is kind of awkward.

I can believe Adam is in Heaven... I honestly just wish they would mention Adam at all, ya know! He's like the Iphicles of the show- they only remember him when they need a family oriented plot point.

And I do think something is up with the mirror opening. I'm one of those folks who's thought it was a mirror from the get go what with the letters that transpose themselves and all. And I've thought it has some significance to the current plot (Originally, I wondered about Lucifer still hiding in Sam as they did that mirror thing with Sam and Luci chatting last season- but now we can rule that out... I hope!) I don't know if a mirror will be helpful in getting Sam's soul back, but I have been wondering if there isn't someway for Sam to reconnect with his soul on his own without Crowley's involvement. Some kind of reverse astral projection mayhaps? Maybe a little African Dream Root Walking if the boy would just settle down and SLEEP! We shall see.

And I'm giggling because we had similar experiences this week/weekend, just reversed a little. I jist posted about some city traveling anxiety issues I had and how I was longing for the country, while you're in the country longing for the city. And yes, the City Mouse and Country Mouse WERE cousins- this is not a coincidence- MA HA HA!

I did however have a fist pumping good time at a church function, though I haven't gotten to that part in my long tale. Will post more about it later. But trying to catch up on everyone else now.

Toodles!

Oh! You touch on one of the other things I meant to put in this post--Sam's lack of dreaming . . . Dreaming also being closely connected to the soul.

I read about your adventures in the big city! I will say that driving in a big city by myself makes me very nervous. The nice thing about NYC was that it was mostly walking (no driving at all), and Geo had already been there and knew where we were going, so I could watch the pretty lights.

Wandered over here from your link at tahirire's.

1. I ... haven't even thought about Adam. *hangs head* But I hope you're right. And it makes sense.

2. I don't know what they're doing this season and I'm no longer speculating, just kvetching. With, you know, love. Pained love. Tainted love. (I shall stop now.) But, yeah, mirrors are definitely there.

4. I love Perfume, but so few people have seen it. I haven't watched it in ages, but oddly enough I did post (http://themonkeytwin.livejournal.com/28192.html) two sketches I did from it with some other old sketches just the other week (just scroll down a bit).

I get you with the climax, although it certainly makes the point, er, graphically, that even at the moment of total togetherness, he is still utterly alone and cut off from people. Even by the epitome of his art, he can't achieve connection. So ... it made sense. Er. O.o Have you seen the director's other movies?

5. The other evening, I was at my pastor's place for a meeting, and he brought out his replica Andúril. Geek pastors ftw.

1. That's okay. Apparently the writers haven't thought about Adam, either.

4. I went into Perfume not knowing anything about where it came from. Up until the end, it was always in the back of my mind that maybe it was based on a true story, which made it even more fascinating. Then it got very surreal, and that kind of threw me out of the story, since I had been working on the premise that this might really have happened.

But I do see what you mean about it from a metaphorical POV. And it was a very interesting movie. Would have made a good CSI episode. *nods*

[tahirire.livejournal.com]

I want all the metaphorical mirrors to turn to practically literal mirrors before this is all over. *taps foot*

I really, REALLY hope you are right about Adam. It makes sense to me, and I'd be glad for confirmation on that. Poor baby.

Oooh . . . A quest? For the mirror holding Sam's soul?

RE: Adam . . . until they say otherwise, this is the theory I'm working with. He probably won't be mentioned again until the writers need a convenient plot device.
