Work is just eating me alive this week. I keep trying to do some writing on my lunch break, or at least finally do another Snowflake Challenge entry, but I can't seem to find the inspiration to work on either of the two SPN Kink Bingo fics I've started or to settle on what to do instead. UGH. Hopefully I can do some writing tonight, if I'm not too drained.

In better news, I re-watched "About A Boy" yesterday. Man, I love that episode. I love watching Dylan Everett as young Dean. He imitates Jensen so perfectly that I never feel like I'm watching another actor play Dean. I feel like I'm watching Dean.

Also, even though I just re-watched that episode probably a yearish ago, I somehow completely forgot that Dean likes "Shake It Off" and of course that must be why Hillywood chose that song for their wonderful first parody. Though I love the Ghostbusters one probably even more, I love first one, too. I'm not crazy about Taylor Swift's version of the song, from what I've heard, but I think the cover in Hillywood's video is a great, fun pop song. (With the SPN lyrics just being icing on the cake!) And the visuals are of course delightful.

Sharing it here, in case anyone missed it somehow or wants to watch it again:

(For my money, Hilly Hindi does a great job capturing Dean's expressions, too. It's maybe broader than Dylan Everett because it's a parody, but there were a couple moments when I re-watched this recently that I was really struck by how well she did. Osric as Sam, too, although he's even broader. XD He cracks me up in the parodies.)

Yep, that ep was fantastic. I remember the uproar when the actor's pics first came out, everyone was shrieking how *dare* they chose such an un-Dean-like Dean, and then the kid SLAMMED it out of the park.

RIGHT?? He's amazing!

Actually the Hillywood use of Shake it Off and Dean liking that song was pure coincidence according to the Hillywood girls.

Oh WOW. What are the odds??

About a Boy was a nice ep ❤️ Loved Dean liking Shake it Off at the end too. I love that Parody - Rob's rendition of Cain in the hair scene always cracks me up.

YES I LOVE THAT PART XD I've been watching SPN with a friend (who's seeing it for the first time) and I won't let her watch the parody until we watch "The Executioner's Song," mostly because of spoilers but also because she absolutely needs to get that amazing joke. We're finally up to that episode and I can't wait to show the parody to her after we watch it tonight!!
