Obsessed: Supernatural


Crystal and I are all the time finding new obsessions. Typically, they come in the form of a movie, musician, or one of our own creations (storylines mostly). Our most recent obsession comes in the form of a television shows, which is a nice change from movies.

We are currently obsessed with the CW television show Supernatural. Over the winter break, we got the brilliant idea to pull out our seasons (we already owned seasnos 1-4 on DVD) and start watching from the beginning. Within three weeks, we made it through the whole set, enjoying every moment with "the boys."

When we get obsessed with something, that means that we spend most of our free time with it, even if it means watching it over and over again. Movie obsessions come and go much quicker because you can watch and rewatch movies in a much shorter amount of time. Television shows are different because it takes several solid weeks to make it through the entire series.

Our obsession is still going strong as we have started over with season 1, despite the new shows coming back this past Thursday. It's nice to get lost in a made up world for 45 minutes with good characters.

Supernatural is a show about two brothers fighting the things that go bump in the dark. It has a long, twisting storyline that starts with how the brothers got into demon-haunting and why they continue with it. One of my favorite aspects of the show is the relationship that develops between the two brothers.

Interested in finding out more about Supernatural? Visit their page at The CW or catch the show on The CW or TNT. New episodes air Thursdays at 9 EST on The CW and reruns air at 10am everyday on TNT.

And I wanted to share one of my favorite clips from Season 3.



Do you watch Supernatural? Share your favorite moments with me! Or ask me more about it if you don't watch it.

Song of the Day: "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas
This is the song that is played at the beginning of several Supernatural shows, especially the sad ones.

New Features Coming

Just a short description of some of the new features coming to the blog:

Obsessed: My sister and I are all the time finding new things to be obsessed with. I'll keep abreast of what we're "obsessed" with and why. This is your chance to learn a bit more about me.

Opinionated: This one's for everyone out there who has a desire to share their opinion! Periodically, I will make a post about a specified topic and ask for your opinions in return. I want your honest opinions. This is about learning about differing views and seeing where others stand. Feel free to comment under annonymous on these posts if you would like!

Sister Time: Sisters (at least Crystal and I) share a bond that is extremely unique. I'm going to try to share some of those "sisterly moments" with you.

Words from a Writer: Similar to my previous Writerly Wednesday, this section will focus on writing and my thoughts on it.

Contests & Giveaways: Contests will require a little bit of effort to gain extra entries (mostly advertising the blog), while giveaways will allow for one entry and no extra effort. I'm hoping to host the first of these in February. Occasionally, I will also use this section for contests and giveaways of others.

Song of the Day: I am going to continue this feature with future posts, so keep an eye out for this section at the end of every (okay, most) posts.

Fun & Games: I will be hosting fun games in an effort to get to know my followers better. With each thing I host, I will invite you to host the same game on your own blog. Let's get to know each other better and have a little fun doing it!

Project Organize: I would say I'm systematically unorganized, meaning that I'm quite disorganized, but I know where to find things. One of the things I would like to work towards in 2010 is becoming more organized. I really think it would help in the future.

TV Talk: There are certain television shows that I watch each week. From time to time, I'll post snippets about them on here.

Movie Mayhem: Essentially the same thing as TV Talk, just with movies.

The Reading Chair: This one will be all about reading! Expect to find reviews and comments on books and other things that are reading related.


Hope you're as excited as I am for these new features!!
