My heart bleeded, girl

We're finally having some fall weather. This is my favorite time of year and I don't appreciate spending it sweating. :)

Today I worked, reading a test for an RN license. I got home fairly early, and since Lucy meowed half the night, have been reading sleepily while watching the gray weather outside. I bitch all winter about how gray it is, but I do love those fall days when you just want to take a nap.

Lois and I are going to Disney World on Friday. We're spending six days there, and I can't wait. On Saturday night we're running in the inaugural Wind and Dine Half Marathon. We're doing the relay. Lois isn't really a runner, she's a walker, and she doesn't do distances much over 3 miles. Although, really, anything over 1 mile qualifies as a distance, I think. They've very conveniently divided the relay legs into 4.8 miles and 8.3 miles, which works out for us perfectly. Being Disney, the list of race instructions is pages and pages long, very specific, and organized within an inch of its life. They sure do love to get people in line and then make 'em wait.

The race is Saturday night, starting at 10p. Lois goes from the Wide World of Sports Complex to the Animal Kingdom, where I'll be waiting in the relay chute. There are lighted batons to pass, although we don't have to use them if we don't want to. But who can resist a lighted baton, I ask you? So I should start my leg at around 11:15, then I run to Disney Hollywood Studios, along the Boardwalk, and finish at Epcot. (It's the exact same route that ends the marathon. The very place where I sat down on the side of the road and quit in January. Haha.) The Food and Wine Festival is open until 3am for the after race party. We get one free bite and one free drink, then we have to pay for the rest. Oh, Disney, ILU.

Anyway, it's good that it's at night. It seems to be very hot and humid in Orlando at present, so at least we won't have the sun beating down on us. I've decided to run at night this week, to kind of get used to it. I've run the Tower of Terror race at WDW the past two Octobers, which was 8 miles at 10pm, but there's something about hanging around all evening waiting to start running after 11 at night that makes me sleepy, so I think I'll try and get used to it this week.

I wasn't going to post anything about SPN 6.01. I really loved it, especially on re-watching it. I thought it was brilliant, and melancholy and unexpected and noir and excitingly different, but I figured there'd be enough negative posts about it that I just wouldn't want to get into it. I almost didn't read any episode reactions at all. But then I saw some reviews that weren't negative, and I commented to a few, and found I really did have something to say, so here it is. Some of this is from comments I made here and there.

Also, de_nugis has my very favorite episode reaction here.
