TV

Lately I've been paying a little more attention to my routines. Let me share my after work routine. I walk home, wash dishes, change clothes, use the bathroom (not necessarily) in that order. Talk with my son about his day, foot wrestle with the dog and sit in my favorite chair to watch DVR'ed episodes of my new favorite show, Supernatural. This is THE.BEST.SHOW.EVER. EVER!! I should state openly that my pop culture sensibilities are closer to that of  a 13 year old boy than a nearly 43 year old black woman, but that isn't meant to imply a lack of mass appeal this show has. I knew I would forever <3 this show when I saw this episode, Route 666. The show's creator, Eric Kripke hails from Ohio, my home state. Some of the best people I know are Buckeyes.

We've only recently started watching the show. I stumbled on it one day when I was playing hooky. They are onto season 7 and I'm not that far along yet. Basically, the two brothers are hunting evil. The show writers explore urban legends, cultural myths, religious prose, etc. The writing is witty and fresh. This type of show appeals to both me and my son. There are cultural references which he doesn't always get but he can appreciate the funny parts. In one episode, Dean and Sam were forced to play 80's TV cops. In another episode, a demon went back in time to save the Titanic. Why? I'll just say this demon and I both have an aversion to a particular Canadian songstress , eh?

Every episode features a balls out rock soundtrack of some classic rock legends. There are lots of Easter eggs in just about every episode. 

Did I mention Dean drives a '67 Impala? Beckie loves the muscle cars. 

Bye Mom.
