OMG, white just moved! So, he had a move after all!

i did not look at the whole game, just where it was, and after i figured out my obvious mistake on the direction, i saw his move, duh, as for him moving, his ears were ringing, think he heard us talking ...[text shortened]... ... but am i right that stalemates are automatic, think i have had only two, and thought they were.
