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!

Nearly caught up with everything over the past 3 days.

:: Went back as far as I could on Twitter, which was approximately 2 days. I would miss Misha Twittering during my internet blackout. *sigh*

:: Did the same with LJ. Ended up going back 870 entries on my Friends Page (o.O) before I picked up where I left off early Friday morning. Sadly, I didn't have time to thoroughly read every post. A lot of them I simply had to glance over and move on. It took me 2 hours to get through them all. Even then I've had to save 11 pages into Favorites here in IE (yep, that's all I've got as a browser right now on the upgraded PC). I'll tackle them later after I get some sleep.

Quick Reactions:
* Yay! To Jensen & Danneel on their engagement!
* More HQ Stills from Christmas Cottage??? Really???? (will save them anyway)
* Ooooh. New episode titles. (That I need to add to my sticky post)
* Everyone's getting ready for next weekend's Chicago Con.
* I missed the S2 premiere of Legend Of The Seeker this weekend. *iz bummed* :(

Okay, that's it. Late night posting is not my forte'. I tend to ramble...a lot. I'm drained, I have a headache, and I've gotta pick out a cap to post for today. Hope I can find a good one. I really miss having all my bookmarks handy. I've had to go a lot by memory here with the PC, so far. That and Only2Clicks.com, which I smartly started using on the Mac not too long ago. Okay, now I really am rambling. Goodness knows you don't wanna hear all this.

Just wanted to let you all know that I saw all your posts, if even briefly. I apologize in advance to those who just got comments from me. Probably not the most coherent stuff I've ever typed out. It's the thoughts behind the words that count, right? Hmph. I need sleep. *iz ready to collapse*

Oh, oh!!! I almost forgot. Something good did happen this weekend.
I bought a DVD of "Ten Inch Hero" from Blockbuster!!!! Yay!!!!! Watched everything on it Friday night (certainly couldn't get online that night - bah, laptop). Found it at the 3rd Blockbuster I checked and I swear it was their last copy and sitting right on the top of a stack of discs on the very corner of the table! It was meant for me, I know it! Now it's mine! All mine! :D

Okay, going now...*trundles off to pick cap*

I may be a little late with these, but I'm catching up on my flist after the past day of not being online. Here's a couple of cool Jensen items.

junebugsgirl_88 has the TIH DVD Extras available for downloading. :D Jensen is in the latest Los Angeles area magazine, Venice! I really wanna see those pages! Looks like there's a bit of an article as well. :D

Ten Inch Hero comes to Blockbuster in the US today, though it's not going to be easy to get. *pouts*

From www.e-harnois.com:

"Ten Inch Hero will be available to rent at Blockbusters all over the U.S. on Feb 17. The film will also be available on blockbuster.com.
At this time, no word on which stores will be selling copies as well. This depends on availability over the next few weeks. We are confident there will be copies available for purchase by April, but just can't be sure before then."

And about the DVD extras, from the writer, Betsy Morris:

"There's a commentary by the director and producer.
A few deleted scenes.
Some behind the scenes stuff with cast and crew.
Outtakes
And a very cool piece with Bethany Joy doing the music. "

Cool stuff, but I'm already seeing people posting about Blockbusters in their area not even having the DVD to rent. Some have been told there's no plans to sell it...ever, even as used copies. This really sucks. I don't want to rent it. I want to own it. *iz bummed*

Anyway, if you want to see caps of the DVD extras & the outtakes, head on over H E R E, where mariaalejandra has a couple of sample caps of Jensen along with the link for the full set of caps over at WinchesterBros.com.

I haven't done a Random post in ages! For those of you who are new around here, I do these random rambly posts every now and then. They're sort of a potpourri of subjects, random thoughts, a post where basically anything goes.

And because this is a random post, we must have a random cap to go with it. What could be better than Jensen in his "Eye Of The Tiger" moment? :D

Um....sorry, the boys are being distracting again. More on that later. Hee!

Today was a short filming day, with a minimal crew. Two scenes (officially...we also did lots of other little ones) in only a little over 2 hours. A pretty easy day all in all. Just me and a few of the guys! Teehee! We had to improvise because we didn't have the makeup needed for a few shots, so I ended up coming to the rescue with some lipstick! I applied the lipstick to our actor's face, along with some dirt in an attempt to make some of it a little darker (with limited success). Then for another shot I got to cover one side of his face with fake blood. What fun! Heh. What a sticky, gooey mess. But it was kinda fun...painting an actor. LOL! But now I can add Make-up as a credit on this film. :)

There's two more scenes to film tomorrow, outside stuff. Beyond that the schedule is a little more fuzzy, but we are nearing the end of production. We're getting down to the final scenes with the actors, so there's lots of picture-taking and hugs. :)

Now, back to the boys being distracting....I'm watching "Mystery Spot" right now on a new 19" HDTV in my bedroom. Woot! Still playing around with settings and such, but so far so good. I'm also downloading a copy of TIH thanks to the awesome generosity of blackbirdj2!!! Whoo-hoo! Can't wait to watch Jensen all decked out with the wild hair, makeup, and clothing. *bounces*

Yes, I know I still owe some goodies. I got a little distracted tonight with my new shiny toy. *g* I'll work on some of them tomorrow and Wednesday, I swear. *hugs*

I realize everyone's posted about this already, but anything I can do to help get this film seen, I'll do if I can. I've got the Ten Inch Hero trailer (w/caps), a download link, links about the film, & more. :)
