Oh, man....*stretches*...finally got some sleep. Meanwhile, there's been a regular comment explosion going on in my inbox. Heh. I'm definitely feeling the love and the warm fuzzies from everyone, so thanks so much for that. *hugs back*

Btw, all my CW Comment Jared & Jensen videos are up on YouTube thanks to [livejournal.com profile] hotfuzz85, who took the time (and lost sleep, as I did) to upload them for me and all of you. Send some hugs and extra cookies her way, too, okay?

Here are the links to the YouTube videos, from [livejournal.com profile] dean_sam...

Meanwhile, I'm feeling a little grumpy/cranky from the loss of sleep. Hmph. Ah, well....it was all for a good cause. :)


I'm just gonna lump some things together here, 'cause I'm lazy...

SPN Media just posted these poster pics...*flails*


Then, on a sad note...I found this news that the last of Disney's "Nine Old Men", Ollie Johnston, passed away.
An excerpt....

Oliver Martin "Ollie" Johnston Jr., the last living member of the celebrated "Nine Old Men" of Disney animation whose work set the standard by which all character animation is judged and a recipient of the National Medal of Arts, has died. He was 95.

Johnston died Monday afternoon of natural causes at a long-term care facility in Sequim, Wash., according to a news release from Howard E. Green, vice president of studio communications for Walt Disney Studios.

Although Johnston made noteworthy contributions to short cartoons, including "Pluto's Judgment Day" (1935), "Mickey's Rival" (1936) and "Reason and Emotion" (1943), his fame rested on his work on the Disney features, beginning with his animation of the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio.

He helped to create such celebrated characters as Bambi and Thumper in "Bambi" (1942), the Three Good Fairies in "Sleeping Beauty" (1959), Pongo and Perdita in "101 Dalmatians" (1961), and Mowgli and Baloo in "The Jungle Book" (1967).

Johnston's work included such memorable moments as Pinocchio's nose growing when he lied to the Blue Fairy in the 1940 movie; Thumper reciting his lesson about eating clover greens under his mother's watchful eye in "Bambi"; the befuddled Mr. Smee trying to follow Captain Hook's orders in "Peter Pan" (1953); Baloo performing "The Bare Necessities" in "The Jungle Book"; and the penguin-waiters serving Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins" (1964).


It's really the end of an era. The last of the great Disney animators. To read more...here's the source: Disney's Final 'Nine Old Men' Animator Dies.


That's all I've got for now. I now have a bajillion comments to get to. Hee! Totally mixed feelings about that. I love the comments, but oy! answering them all!
