My dad’s surgery went well. They said he lost a lot of blood and they almost did a transfusion but decided against it. He woke up after the anesthetic and he never stopped breathing during the surgery itself, which was a big concern because of his weight and whatnot. He is in a surgery step-down unit for the night and if he continues to do well, they will move him to the regular post-surgery ward for several days. The only concern we have left to worry about now is post-surgery infections. I think if he makes it through the end of the week, we will be in the clear.

I can honestly say I plan to sleep like a log tonight for the first time in a week. I am so relieved. With my dad’s health as bad as it is, I was prepared - (as prepared as one can be) - for the worst and I am kind of shocked that it all came out so well.

I really appreciate all the good thoughts from you guys. <3s

And since I am here, let me ask a question to all the people still watching Glee. My intention was to finish season three, watch Puck graduate - (yes, he is my favorite character) - and then be done with the show. Season 2 just didn’t work for me very well and I have several episodes of season 3 on my Tivo that I still haven’t gotten around to watching yet, which makes me think my interest has severely waned. So today I was going to go through my Tivo’s Season Pass Manager and take Glee out and put in Collection Intervention and Paranormal Witness, as well as clean out any other things that needed it. When I went through my Wishlist though - the season 4 premiere of Glee popped under Mark Salling’s name. And imdb tells me he is still on the show. I know that they plan on following Rachel in season 4, which I think is both a mistake on the part of the show and on Lea Michele’s career but whatever. So, without spoiling me for anything else in season 3 or 4, tell me - are they following Puck post-graduation or did he get held back? I can’t imagine I will watch season 4 either way but I held off on pulling it from my manager for the moment. I love Puck so much, it’s ridiculous, but the show itself I have kind of fallen out of love with, That’s okay, all I need is season one and the Grinch Christmas episode - (which I got for Christmas last year!).

You guys, you guys, OMG, OMG, OMG YOU GUYS!!!!

My squee level was already pretty high after The BFF sent me the new Red Dawn trailer - (more on that in a minute) - but I just read that Enrique Murciano will be on the new 666 Park Avenue this fall!! MY BOY, BACK ON TV!!!! I know, I know, he had a thing on NCIS, but this will be like an almost-regular thing. 666 Park Avenue is not a show I had planned on watching, as much I enjoy me some Terry O'Quinn - it just didn't spark anything in me when I read the synopsis. But it didn't sound awful or anything. In fact, it kind of sounds like a supernatural version of Melrose’s Place, being that it is an apartment building full of people who have made deals with the devil. Oh wait, that sounds exactly like Melrose’s Place. So I was kind of 'maybe, maybe not' on watching it, but now...OH YEAH, BABY!!! And he is going to be PLAYING A DOCTOR and it sounds like there will be SEXYTIMES and okay…I know it is stupid, but I actually have tears of total happiness in my eyes right now. My boy.

For those of you that are like, "Who? What now?"…here is a pic of my boy.
Enrique - face sexy
See, see why I am excited?! Watch 666 Park Avenue this fall so we can talk about how hot my boy is, okay? Cool.


Okay, I'll cut for space because I can see how much this is taking up on your Flists - (new stupid LJ album, I can't figure out how to make the picture of Enrique smaller) - but RED DAWN WHOO-YAY under the cut...So look under here, you'll be sorry if you don't!! )

Um, I need to go to sleep now. I get foul-mouthed and crazed when I am excited. This was too much...I feel like a toddler crashing from a sugar high after a Wiggles concert.

It is [livejournal.com profile] afra_schatz's birthday today! (for another hour at least). I hope it was wonderful and full of awesome! I'm going to pretend you spent it at a nice lakeside summer home with Bean and Orli, k?

Here, have a Sean Bean wallpaper I made back in the day.





Also, anyone else seen the new "X-Men: First Class" movie trailer? On the one hand, I am so happy they cast James McAvoy. On the other hand, wow they are tackling a big thing here, with the origins of two powerful and popular characters such as Xavier and Magneto. Still, this trailer looks promising and if it is just X-Men being awesome in general, then I am so down with that. Also, the slash potential is always high with these two, so that's a yay! What do you think?

Oh, you can see it here - X-Men: First Class

That is all.

So, we just watched the best movie ever.

And by best, I mean I shit my pants.

Number of times I seriously considered throwing up during this movie = 5.

Not because it was gruesome and bloody per-say, but mostly because my stomach was so twisted into knots with anxiety.

Oh. Right. "What movie?" you ask.

Frozen. This is a cut for space, not for spoilers! )

Also, we watched it through our Streaming Live of Netflix through the Tivo!!! Oh my, Tivo, I love you. I also spent two hours loading our Season Pass Manager and our wish list - (I added Mark Salling, in case he ever, idk, goes on Jimmy Fallon and sings and plays the guitar with Jimmy, who is a huge Glee dork btw. I mean, if I were Glee PR, I would totally do that...so it could happen.)

In other news, I am having an icon dilemma.

Icons are so shiny - and you know how I get distracted by shiny things. )

In Sum: The cable guy asked me today if my sister's cat "Pippin" was named after Scottie Pippen. I said, "Um, no, like Pippin from the Lord of the Rings" and he burst out laughing and said, "Oh my god, you should see your face. You're all like, no, who the hell is Scottie Pippen?"

In Sum #2: Jensen would make an adorable frog.

Edited - so that I'm perfectly clear: Frozen is a gruesome, bloody movie, but that's not why I found it so terrifying. Just FYI though, don't eat during it.

So, I spent the weekend with The Nephew, who remains as cool as ever.

At dinner with my mother, she comments on his new boots. They are work boots - (cutest things that they are like men's work boots in the size of a four year old's feet).

My Mom: Those are cute boots.
The Nephew: Thanks.
Me: They are very Dean Winchester of you.
The Nephew: Yeah.
My Mom: Who? Is he from that Supernatural show?
Me: Yeah.
The Nephew just nods and eats more pancakes.

(Oh yes, we encourage breakfast food for dinner, as one should).

Then the next day, he is playing with his toy TV and he asks my sister what she wants to watch - Spiderman or Supernatural. Of course, she says Supernatural.

So then The Nephew launches into doing the voices for the show.

Baby brother!
What?
We have to kill this ghost!
No, we have to go now.
No, we have to kill this ghost!
No, we have to go.
Ghost!
Go!
Ghost!
Okay, okay. We'll kill the ghost.

dadadadada bang bang

Okay, now we have to go!


For those of you that wonder - yes, both his parents watch the show.

And, yes, he is the coolest kid ever.

In Sum: Here, have the new Narnia trailer. That has nothing to do with this post, but when do I need a reason to post awesome new Narnia trailers? That's what I thought.

No fear! No retreat!

First, my sister saw her cat today and Zippo is doing much better. My sister says the swollen stomach is way down. But Zippo still won't eat and until she does, she can't come home. Hopefully one more day of IV fluids will give her enough strength to eat and she can come home before the weekend.

My mom was apparently at the vet today to get medicine for her dog and asked to visit with Zippo. So they took her in the back and told her how Zippo wouldn't eat. My mom says, "Oh, well, last year when she had that sore in her mouth, she had to be fed with a baby spoon. She had a bib. Here let me show you." (btw, yes, last year Zippo had a sore in her mouth and we fed her with a baby spoon and a bib and then she wouldn't eat any other way for weeks, lol). But here, I can give my mom props - she made a stink over my sister's cat and then tried to help the nurses get her to eat. This makes me happy.

On the other hand...my father sent me an email today. I was afraid to open it and then when I did...it was some youtube clip of some dog doing a trick that he had been telling me about during the dinner from Hell. "here's the dog video I was telling you about - hahaha." He has no idea that he said or did anything offensive. Which is just frustrating beyond belief.

Now - I was over on Imdb.com today - (as I seem to be everyday for some reason or another) - and I saw the following things:

Dule Hill is their interview of the day - and he talks about how you can use IMDB to settle a bet on whether or not he, Dule Hill, played Bud on "The Cosby Show". So, do you know the answer? It's a cute interview and I love Dule's sexy-head and voice. Go watch it!

Trailer for the new Simon Pegg movie, "Paul". It certainly won't be "Shaun of the Dead" (nothing will), but it looks utterly ridiculous in a good way. Plus, Jason Bateman...can't have enough of him. See Paul here.

And there is a new spot out for Harry Potter. OMG YOU PEOPLES, I AM EXCITE!!!! I LITERALLY CLAPPED MY HANDS!!! See Harry Potter excitement here.

Thank you to everyone who sent me hugs and cupcakes and good wishes yesterday! I was surprised at how much better that made me feel - just to get it out there and receive so many virtual hugs in return. Seriously.

And since it is now officially Friday - HAPPY SUPERNATURAL DAY TO YOU!!!
