Music Monday: "Lost" by Coldplay & "Pa' Bailar" by Bajofondo

Lately I've really been expanding my music horizons and I thought I'd start sharing some of my discoveries. Some you'll know, some you won't, but either way it's a chance to spread some music love. And what better day to use than Mondays? It's a chance to get the week started right. ;)

The music will come in various forms: youtube video, streaming player, or download link. A song each Monday...that's the plan. :D

I've got 2 songs for you today! The first is favorite of mine from Coldplay and the second is a song used for an Acura car commercial shown during the current Winter Olympics.

Coldplay - "Lost" I hope you can watch this. It's a cool concert video.
I can't embed the video, so you'll have to go straight to the youtube page:

If you can't get the video to work, hopefully you can still listen to the song via Grooveshark's player. This is the album version of the song.

Bajofondo - "Pa' Bailar" I love videos that feature dancing!

Again, if you can't get the video to work, hopefully you can still listen to the song via Grooveshark's player.

I also have this song available for download if anyone wants it. ;)

Just 'Cause

This cap is from 4x12 "Criss Angel Is A Douchebag".

Today's cap was requested by ina_ami, who wanted "any cap with Dean, Sam or Cas from season 4". Two out of 3 ain't bad, right? ;)
I re-capped 5x12 yesterday, which means I'm all set to start uploading the Hi-Res caps for 5x11-5x14 for your downloading & enjoyment in the weeks to come. I can also start concentrating on finishing up with 5x14. Still gotta do my review post & fanart. They're coming...promise!
I'm still taking requests & will do so all this week!
What cap/caps would you like to see?
Lemme know in the comments & I'll see what I can do. :)

Fandom crazies amuse me

Before I went offline last night I checked out spnpermanon, just 'cause I was curious. I occasionally see what's going on over there when I get bored. Sure, it's the home for the crazies in SPN fandom and I tend to avoid those people, but sometimes you just gotta know what they're going on about right?

Low and behold, there was an actual thread about little ole' me! :)

I actually feel honored. It's like I've truly been initiated into the fandom now. LOL! :P

When I read the thread I found it quite laughable. MS Paint? Really???? You can't do a darned thing with that tiny program, much less edit photos or create fanart. What a joke! It's more for doodling and silly stuff. I've never used it for fanart. I use Picnik, which is an online image editor. I know most people use Photoshop or Gimp and use a lot of fancy filters and stuff and that's perfectly fine. I can use those programs (and have in the past), I simply choose not to.

And the idea that I'm a homophobe because I don't like people using slashy icons on my journal is crazy. The only reason I have that rule (and I think it's a pretty small request considering...) is because sometimes my mom has read my LJ posts and people's comments to them and I really don't want to explain some of the images people use. They don't bother me, but try explaining that to your over-70 yr old mother. Yeah. I had to briefly explain slash to her because of last season's "The Monster At The End Of This Book" and even that was awkward. So I don't have issues with homosexuality, but I do when it comes to exposing my mom or any of my relatives to it because some of them are less tolerant. Honestly, I don't know where my mom's opinion runs, but to avoid conflict with her, I figure it's best to avoid the subject as much as possible. And besides, this is MY LJ and I believe I'm well within my rights to ask that certain images not be used on it.

So there you have it. I see their points as weak and pathetic really. Goodness knows I've gotten much worse criticism elsewhere.

Walking: More sunshine!

Today was probably the last day of sunny weather for the rest of the week, so I soaked up as much as I could from it. My legs didn't hurt as badly today and I remembered not to go further than my body could tackle. I stayed in our neighborhood, doing the big loop twice (with the hill). The trees I photographed yesterday? Even more blooms are opening throughout the neighborhood and I could smell their sweet scent several times. Mmmm.... :D
