* JIB con is going on and there are all these lovely tweets going on that make me happy. &SPN family;

cupidsbow posted this amazing vid of Lana Wachowski accepting an award from the Human Rights Campaign. I honestly have no idea what the award is for (she doesn't seem to either), but the speech is incredible. She's so very articulate about her own journey (the nun story is terrible and also remarkably similar to something that happened to me in grade school - right down to not having words to express something to parents and experiencing frustration with their inability to understand) as well as the meaning of public and private personas, and articulating both what the loss of anonymity means to her as well as how she hopes it will help other LGBT youth (and that is clearly why she is doing it). I want to warn, because I feel like some of her stories could definitely be triggering (the story of the nun being one - there was some physical harm, there, when she was in grade school), but I feel like there are other items that might be triggering and I'm just not familiar enough to be able to put words to them. If you have triggers, ask? (I know that's a shitty thing to ask, but I don't know what else to do.) I will be happy to listen again and see if there is anything that might be triggering. ( Vid embedded under the cut. )
* We are rewatching Leverage. We're beginning season four right now. Thing said most often while watching: "I fucking LOVE Parker!" followed closely by "I fucking LOVE Hardison!" and then, in a sadly distant third, "I fucking LOVE Eliot!" Because mostly it's about his hair. And about how he is sometimes stunted in his feels. There are times he really reminds me of Dean, and now that it's finally clicked in my brain about how Chris and Jensen are friends, I'm all ;salkdjfa;slkdfa;sldjfsa;ldj about them, and the similarities of the two characters keep popping out at me. ( Spoilers about possible SPN events )
* Our move has been pushed back a couple of weeks - we'll be moving the second week of June-ish, and getting to the Midwest just in time to go to my niece's wedding and my other niece's graduation party. Gotta set some money aside for a graduation gift. Thing I'm most worried about at the moment: what to do with the cats while we're driving. Partially tempted to put them in the car (we're towing) but I worry about the heat (I'm thinking those reflective things in the windshield and putting the windows down - also possibly driving at night (which I prefer anyway)). I don't think there's going to be room for them in the front of the Uhaul, and I think it'd be a lot worse in the back of the Uhaul with the boxes and stuff - no ventilation back there. Suggestions welcome!
* The dude I shared an office with at MIT and I are keeping in pretty good contact, mainly because one of the things we had in common was The Voice, so one or the other of us usually feels the need to write something about the shows at least once a week (we cheered together that Caroline was gone), and he sent me this AMAZING vid of two violinists (Rhett Price and Josh Knowles) playing Taylor Swift's I Knew You Were Trouble. ( Embedded beneath the cut ) I looked at some of their earlier stuff and it's interesting but not quite as good (Rhett's longer hair notwithstanding). And I just realized why he sent me the link - the subway they're playing in is Boston, and it's the Red Line, which is the one you have to take from MIT to get anywhere. Ha. Awesome.
* So You Think You Can Dance starts next week. It is impossible for me to contain my feels about this. Except that I will have to miss it one week because of the move, which is already making me sadface.
So that's all my current feels thisSunday Saturday (I'm flying out tomorrow, it's like a Sunday to me). Now back to Leverage. :D
