Next holiday up: it's a ways away, but 4th of July might be the next one (one of the two best holidays of the year; that and Thanksgiving) Happy Independence Day!:
I created a page for a project I worked on for about 10 months. An artist's binding of a book with the Impala on the front done all in leather and carved board:

More projects.... I love the Impala and the running lights are my favorite part. So I wondered if salvaged running lights from an old '67 could be turned into desk lamps...turns out that if you know a talented retired electrical engineer and metal fabricator, they can be! I love them!

DEAN / SAM FAVS
Dean Favs.
Sam Favs.
Favorite Dean Quotes:
1. Dean: So, screw destiny right in the face. I say we take the fight to them, do it our way...
2. Dean to Bobby: Dean: You built a ghost proof panic room? Bobby: I had a weekend off. Dean: Bobby? Bobby: What? Dean: You're awesome.
3. Dean: Oh my God...I'm a painted w h o r e!
4. Dean: (looking at the antique wedding dress hanging on the wall of the old hotel room as decoration) (sarcastically): That's normal...I don't know why the hell anyone would stay here!
5. Dean: Hey, are those antique dolls? 'Cause this one, this one here, he has a major doll collection back home (grins at Sam), don't ya? Sam: (gritting his teeth) Big time. Dean: Big time. Yeah, you think he could come...well, we could come in and take a look? Susan: I don't know.... Dean: Please? I mean, he loves them. He's not gonna tell you this, but he's always dressing 'em up in these little tiny outfits and I mean, you'd make his day. She would, huh? Sam: (glaring at Dean) It's true.
6. Dean: You know me...I'm a posse magnet. I mean, I love posse. (You could) put that on a t-shirt.
8. Dean: (reading) "Sam turned his back on Dean. His face brooding and pensive." I mean, I don't know how this guy is doing it but this guy is doing it. I can't see your face but those are definitely your pensive and brooding shoulders. (Sam pauses) You just thought I was a dick. Sam: This guy's good.
9. Dean: Behave yourself, would you? No homework. Watch some porn.
10. Future-Dean (Dean-14) talking to Past-Dean (Dean-09): Dean-14: Okay, if you're me, tell me something only I would know. Dean-09: Rhonda Hurley. We were 19. She made us try on her undies -- they were pink, satiny -- and you know what? We kind of liked it. Dean-14: (with an accepting look): Touche.
11. Dean (to Cas): Yeah, I've been there. I'm a big expert on deadbeat dads so yeah, I get it. I know how you feel. Cas: How do you manage it then? Dean: On a good day, you get to kill a w h o r e.
Favorite Sam Quotes:
1. Sam: What kind of a house doesn't have salt? Low sodium freaks!!
2. Sam: (to Dean and the Impala) If you two want to get a room, just tell me.
4. Dean: Of course, the most troubling question is why do these people assume we're gay? Sam: Well, you are kind of butch. They probably think you're overcompensating. Dean: (uncomfortably) Right...
5. Sam: I lost my shoe.
6. Sam to Dean: More anime porn or are you strictly into dick now?
Favorite Dean Moments:
1. When Dean starts to see himself in Ben in the The Kids are Alright and is rather freaked out by it. So much so that he goes to leave and walks right into the trash can.
2. Dean's expression in reaction to the bed & breakfast decor in the episode "Playthings". Loved that one!
3. Dean in "Heart" when Madison asks Sam to kill her and Sam is really struggling with it....Dean takes the gun away so gently...all he ever wants to do is spare Sam the pain in life.
4. When Dean returns from hell and sees that Sam has put (gasp) an iPod jack in the Impala. Sam thinks it the greatest thing and Dean is so offended...."I told you to take of her, not douche her up!". Classic Dean.
5. When Sam & Dean are saying the same thing at the same time at the diner in Mystery Spot. So so so funny.
6. Dean singing along to Air Supply in Slash Fiction. Jensen could not have acted that better!
Favorite Sam Moments:
1. When Sam gave Dean a real Christmas in "A Very Supernatural Christmas"
2. this exchange from "Scarecrow": Dean: So, can I drop you off somewhere? Sam: No, I think you're stuck with me. Dean: What made you change your mind? Sam: I didn't. I still wanna find Dad and you're still a pain in the ass...but Jess and mom...they're both gone...Dad is God knows where... you and me, we're all that's left. So if we're going to see this through... we're gonna do it together. Dean: (with a look of extreme fake honesty) Hold me Sam. That was beautiful. Sam: (realizing Dean's making fun of him) You should be kissing my ass...you were dead meat, dude! Dean: Yeah, right...I had a plan. I'd have gotten out. Sam: (very skeptically) Right.
3. In The Curious Case of Dean Winchester when "old Dean" is trying to crack the combination lock on the safe and can't focus in on it due to his "aged" eyesight...Sam pushes him aside and says, "This is like Mission Pathetic; get out of the way." Love that.
Favorite Dean Episode: 1. The Kids are Alright 2. Heart 3. Time is on My Side 4. When the Levee Breaks 5. Swan Song 6. Let it Bleed
Favorite Sam Episode: 1. Swan Song 2. Heart: I think I fell in love with Sam a little more in this one. I was crying by the end. 3. A Very Supernatural Christmas 4. Though I hated The Man Who Knew Too Much overall, I can't deny that Jared did an excellent job playing Sam #1, #2, and #3. 5. Mystery Spot
SUPERNATURAL FAVS
Season: 5 Complicated, tons of extra characters, good psychological drama, just really well-done.
The opposite of the best season...I thought season 6 was easily the worst season. I just didn't care about the civil war in heaven! With the exception of Weekend at Bobby's, The French Mistake, and Let it Bleed, I wish Cas could scrub the memory of season 6 from my brain. Still love 'em though!
Okay; revision; I've been re-watching season 6 and I like it better than I did on first watch. I may have to change my opinion on it!
Recurring Character(s): Bobby, Rufus, Lisa (yes, Lisa!), Ben, Ellen, Jo, Ash & the Impala, Sheriff Mills
Episodes:
1. Swan Song in season 5 ...because it was the culmination of just about the entire series and giving the Impala a central role was perfect. There was not a single wasted second in this episode. Funny, emotional, violent, really creative, well-written, and well-crafted all-around. The best Supernatural episode ever.
2. Playthings in season 2 Playthings was pretty much the perfect Supernatural episode.....it was creepy (the old haunted hotel with all the old dolls in it and the dollhouse that would show people dying before it happened), it was funny (everyone assumes Sam & Dean are a gay couple out antiquing...and after initially being put off by this, Dean starts to run with it a bit in order to further the investigation...and Dean's take on the hotel decor is hilarious and true!), it keeps you guessing a bit (you aren't sure of the relationship between the family at the hotel), it's touching (Sam gets drunk and makes Dean promise to kill him if he ever turns "bad" and Dean's care in taking care of Sam when he's drunk is pretty sweet), it's redemptive (Sam gets to save the little girl and is reminded why he's a hunter in the first place and that people don't just die around him; sometimes they live because of him), it's beautifully shot (the scenes in the glass pool house and underwater are really nice and the camera work really gave you a sense of how huge this old hotel is; shooting in many different rooms), and the "job" at the hotel is resolved, but it's still creepy with the final scene of the two ghost children playing together in the room full of old toys. Pretty much the perfect Supernatural episode.
3. Heart This one really got me. Probably the best final minute of any Supernatural episode. Sam's pain looks totally real and so does Dean's pain for Sam. You hear that gunshot and see that single tear on Dean's face; ugh; gets me every time. Dean flinching when he hears the gunshot was perfect and conveyed everything you needed to know.
4. Time is on My Side Dean's pending trip to hell....a totally creepy evil doctor...the last of Bela...Sam & Dean get to work on their own...Dean shows some insecurity (for once)...Dean decides it's more important to be human than to live forever...good episode.
5. Weekend at Bobby's Because Bobby deserved his own episode and I love how he's so hassled and so busy he never gets to eat the dessert his neighbor brings him. He tries so hard but is always too busy helping everyone else to take care of himself!
6. The Monster at the End of the Book I love the scene where Dean & Sam are doing laundry at the laundromat and Dean is reading from Chuck's book, telling Sam what he's going to do right before he does it. It was an episode I thought might be a bad spoof of the show, but it turned out to be quite excellent.
7. When the Levee Breaks Sam & Dean finally have it out over Sam's addiction to demon blood. There was so much in this one about everything going on in Sam's head. Dean knows he's right. Sam knows he's right....turns out Dean is right about everything, but watching them beat the crap out of each other was heartbreaking.
8. Mystery Spot Like the best Supernatural episodes, it was funny and really touching. I don't know how they could make Dean dying over and over funny AND heartbreaking, but they did. Seeing the effect on Sam was hard to watch. Jared did a great job in this one and the scene with them in the diner where they are saying the same thing at the same time as Sam tries to prove he's re-living the same day over and over is one of my all-time favorite moments.
9. Slash Fiction I loved this episode and I haven't loved a new episode in awhile...I loved the leviathan Sam & Dean clones complaining about what it is like to be them!!! Loved Dean singing along to Air Supply! Loved that the truth about Amy came out. This was a very good episode and I feel like the old Supernatural I love is back!
Villain: Crowley...the most charming demon out of all of them. Also liked Ruby #1 because she threw the smart comments right back at them.

Main Character: Dean, but I love Sam too! So I'd say I'm a Dean girl, but I'm Sam-curious.
Plot: The apocalypse arc
Cast Member: Misha because I don't know how he is able to make Cas seem like an otherworldly being, but he does. In the episode where he played Cas and Cas's vessel Jimmy, he was able to become two completely different people. Misha always does a great job.
Quotes:
1. Dean to Cas: Well Cas, not for nothin' but the last person who looked at me like that, I got laid.
2. Zachariah to Adam: You know Sam and Dean Winchester are psychotically, irrationally, erotically codependent on each other, right?
3. Bobby to Crowley: Now get the hell off my property before I blast you so full of rock-salt that you start crapping margaritas!
4. Ben & Dean: Ben: No, don't go over there...only b i t c h e s send a grown-up. Dean: You're not wrong. Ben: And I'm not a b i t c h.
5. Dean to Sam: (Are you) still driving that plastic piece of crap? Sam: What kind of mileage do YOU get. Dean: Shut up.
6. Harry: Ed, you got to go be gay for that poor dead intern! You gotta send him into the light!
7. Dean: There's Sam girls and Dean girls. And what's a slash fan? Sam: As in... Sam slash Dean. Together. Dean: Like... together together? Sam: Yeah. Dean: They do know we're brothers, right? Sam: It doesn't seem to matter. Dean: Ah, come on. That's... that's just sick.
8. Crowley (to Cas about Sam & Dean): Am I the only game piece on the board who DOESN'T underestimate those denim-wrapped nightmares?!?!?!?!

DEFINING SHOTS (photos have rollover text comments)
"So what's it all add up to? It's hard to say. But me, I'd say this was a test...for Sam and Dean. And I think they did all right. Up against Good, Evil, angels, devils, Destiny, and God himself, they made their own choice. They chose family. And, well...isn't that kinda the whole point? No doubt - endings are hard. But then again...nothing ever really ends, does it?"
