I realize I missed the big anniversary of SPN first airing on September 13th back in 2005.
Truth is I was having an awful day on Thursday and by the time I realized what the day was, I was still feeling so sucky that I didn't care.

Honestly, I look at it this way...

I celebrate SPN here (and on Twitter) pretty much every single day.
So...mission accomplished, right?

If not, well here's an old ad gif. And sure, I could wax philosophical about how I love the show and what it means to me, but...if you don't know that I'm obsessed and love SPN by now...you're just not paying attention.

My gif. ♥

I just made this animated gif because I need it in my life. ;)



I'll be making a formal posting of this gif (and in other sizes) next week. Stay tuned!

♦ Who knew you couldn't use Spotify in the Safari web browser??? WTH??? *fumes* I looked into why, but then my eyes glazed over because apparently there isn't any solution. Grrr! Well, that's annoying! Especially since I'm trying to use my Safari browser more now, because for some reason when I watch online videos too long in any other browser, my CPU heats up. WTH is with that??? *sigh*

♦ I uploaded the above animation to one of my old Photobucket accounts. Yes, still trying to decide what to do about them - which account to sign up for with payments again, now that they've got more reasonable plans. I wouldn't have even uploaded it to PB, but I can't get into my account at PhotoLand.io!!!! That's where I've been uploading and posting my gifs from. All of a sudden there's no way to sign in with Twitter, which is what I used. Gah!!!! I've contacted them about it, but who knows if I'll ever get a response. Well, speak of the devil....just got this email from them:

Hello,

We are having issues with the twitter API and are working on fixing it. Will update you once it's working again.

Thank you
Photoland Team

Well, I'll give them points for getting back to me so quickly. Sad that I can't get into my account there though. Serves me right for going the shortcut way into signing into a site. *sigh* So I guess I'll be using my PB accounts again for now...

Ok. Wow! The PhotoLand Support Team literally just got back to me, saying the problem is fixed. Sure enough, I was able to log in w/Twitter and upload the gifs. Yay! Very impressive support at PhotoLand!

♦ For my artsy & craftsy friends, I got quite the deal this past week at Hobby Lobby. A Marvy waterbrush marked down to $1.24, a set of Faber Castell 24 Watercolor Pencils marked down to $3.74 (from $14.99), and a set of 25 Stabilo colored pens marked down to $7.49 (from $29.99!). I've always been curious about the Stabilo pens because I've heard such good things about them (they are good!) but the price always turned me off. No more! These aren't the first great deals I've found at HL. A month or so ago I finally got a Gouache set of paints that was marked way down. I do love saving money on supplies!

♦ I found a great site for free book PDFs! Check out Ocean Of PDF! I've already got a few of them loaded on my phone for reading there. Such a great selection.

♦ Since SPN is finished for the summer, it's time to start in on updating the Locations List (LL) with Season 13 for spn_locations. Problem is...looking up addresses on Google Maps really eats up my internet data. *heavy sigh* I could really use some help from volunteers, but I've failed to use people in the past so I'm pretty sure it's a waste of time. People don't want to risk it. Of course, this time I KNOW what I would have volunteers help me with! :(

♦ Late add-in Edit!!!! OMG Does anyone else play Candy Crush on their phone??? I've been stuck on a level before, but nothing like with Level 149! OMG!!!! I CANNOT GET THROUGH IT!!!!! I've lost track of how many times I've played that level. And I've had tons of help from the game, but alas....still stuck. Gah!

This one's so cool! Have to put this one in my sidebar right away. :)
Btw, did you all notice how the "T" becomes an inverted cross? Oooooh....

I answered the special request from sandy79 to make a certain animation from the Season 13 Trailer. Spoilery!

( Animations this way... )

Since we're celebrating the Impala's birthday this week, let's have some animations!
Here's the beautiful flashback to the very young Sam & Dean carving their initials into the back of the car.

Following up on yesterday's Chupacabra Caps post...I made my first cropped animations! :D

Jensen scraping that knife down his cheek and then the sly smile. *melts*

IMO this was the most stunningly beautiful moment of the entire episode.
It's very reminiscent of the sun flare with Dean from Season 2's "Bloodlust". *dreamy sigh* So pretty!

I'm in the process of making some new animations. :)
I've even added one XLG size...just because. Here's that great shot of Dean steering the Impala after it's hit by Ms. Watts.
