Yeah, that'll help me pay my bills.

apocalypsosLast night after our company Christmas party they sent us home from work five and a half hours early. *sigh* Well, that's helpful. Maybe if they might make some CDs for us to put together, I might actually make some money.
Oh, and they gave us our Christmas presents. We got one of those stupid CDs with pictures of the employees in Christmas outfits on it (uh, no ... the only people from work whose pictures I want to take, I'll get this weekend when we're barhopping and hitting strip clubs), CDs from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tim McGraw, Panic! At The Disco, James Blunt, and Big And Rich (none of which I would buy voluntarily), and a Barbra Streisand concert DVD. And the sad thing? Still better than last year's haul, when it was Rob Thomas, Leann Rimes, Michael Buble, and The Click Five and we heard rumblings that we were getting copies of either Mr. and Mrs. Smith or The Polar Express and didn't. They'll give you free CDs for the holidays, none of which you get to choose, and let you order or buy most of the CDs they make (although you have to wait a billion weeks for them to come in when WE MAKE THEM IN-HOUSE), but just try getting a DVD at a discount price when you make them there. Considering it costs less than a buck to make a DVD, it's fucking ludicrous.
In other news I realized something that annoys me. I liked Dexter's cliffhanger this week better than Supernatural's, and it wasn't even a hiatus sort of cliffhanger. Next week we're getting that next episode. But anyway, here's why. At the end of this week's Dexter, we have Dexter finding out the truth AND reacting to that truth. And that reaction was amazing -- we have a guy who says he has no emotions (but if he did, he'd feel them for his father and Deb) -- freaking OUT about Deb's disappearance. Seriously fucking panicking, and that's not even taking into account his anger at what he sees as Harry's betrayal over the last couple of episodes. For someone who claims not to have any feelings for anyone, Dexter has behaved in the last few episodes like someone with profound feelings for his sister, his foster father and his girlfriend's family. It's a GREAT reaction shot at the end of "Truth Be Told", which pisses me off because we didn't get either in Supernatural. We didn't get the secret or Sam's reaction to it. Something about that irritates me, because it's as if the people at Supernatural think we have to be enticed back to find out The Secret HOMG, whereas Dexter expects me to watch next week because of the characters and who they are.
It's probably not true, but ... come on, Kripke. Honestly.

Date: 2006-12-13 08:24 pm (UTC)His reaction to Deb being missing was great and I'm on tenterhooks until next Sunday (I normally Tivo it and watch it Monday since I go to bed before 10 PM--yes, I am old--but I will be staying up to watch this one!)
And I so want to discuss with you what his repressed memories might mean, and why Harry had that file destroyed and what happened when he was 3 years old and sitting with a number of corpses in a shipping container for several days and how that might translate to his fascination with eating (always eating while driving, etc) and the beginning in which he is eating. (watch closely, there is something in every epi that deals with food)
And... and... and.. ::flails:: I LOVE THIS SHOW!
