No more LJ???
Mar. 8th, 2022 11:40 pmWell, the news just keeps getting better and better tonight! *sigh*
I wondered if LJ was going to be in danger and now it really might be. I've been here so long, have so MANY entries...there's no way it can all be backed up in any way. This is terrible!
I've had a Dreamwidth account for many years, but haven't used it since 2013. Guess that'll change now.
I'm raloria on Dreamwidth, too.
Here's where else you can find me:
Twitter: https://twitter.com/spndeangirl
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ralval73/
Tumblr **: http://roadtoshambala.tumblr.com/
** Again, haven't used Tumblr in years...which might change if LJ does disappear.
And here I am in the middle of the Final SPN Name That Cap Challenge! Guess I'd better back that up over on the Dreamwidth account, just in case. Then there's my LJ communities... Crap! How do I save it all??? And in 3 days???
Edit: Just set up the import to my Dreamwidth. I figured the sooner it started the better, since it might take a few days.

Sad Seattle Seahawks News
Mar. 8th, 2022 11:06 pmI'm heartbroken! First of all, I had to hunt down this news on Twitter. Why it wasn't all over my timeline with all the local news accounts I follow is beyond me.
I've been a Seahawks fan most of my life. I've seen great players come and go, but this really hurts. I've liked Wilson from the start, loved his positive attitude, and his great leadership qualities. And OMG can the man throw a football! Perfect accuracy. And the way he avoids getting tackled? Legendary. Then there's Wagner, another amazing player who's been with the team for so long. This is an awful 1-2 punch. Sure, the Seahawks had a terrible time last season, but some of it was just bad luck.
I just can't imagine the Seahawks without Russell. He wanted to stay here, spend the rest of his career here in Seattle. Now it's over...

Don't know if any of you have been listening to Rich & Rob's podcast of "And My Guest Is Richard Speight" since March (or was it April)? Anyway, it's been this wonderful little oasis of humor in this pandemic. The best part (other than Rich & Rob simply being themselves) are Rob's little theme songs. There's a bunch of them!
Anyway, if any of you know Scoutstiel on Twitter, she's been making these cute little animations from the shows. These are 3 of my favorites.

SPN To Resume Filming!
Aug. 1st, 2020 03:49 amIt's official (for now): SPN goes back to finish filming the last 2 episodes of Season 15 later this month. The actors are all preparing to head north to Vancouver again (no doubt early to be in quarantine for 2 weeks).
I'm happy the show will finally be filming it's finale, so we can eventually see it, but I'm hesitant about filming starting up so soon with COVID-19 still running wild here in the US and possibly in BC Canada (there's been issues w/people still having large gatherings w/no social distancing). As we've already seen with the recently started baseball season, anything can happen.
Most of all, I want the boys, all the actors, and the crew to be able to remain safe while still giving us the series finale they'd originally planned. I'd hate for us to lose anything due to restrictions because they wanted to hurry up and get it filmed. I'm personally willing to wait. It hasn't been pleasant waiting, but safety first in my book. Anyway, I wish them all the best of luck in finishing up filming.

Thank you, Rob!!!!!!
Mar. 8th, 2020 05:40 amI'm used to a few of the SPN actors Liking my Wakelet collections of Tweets from the cons: Rachel Miner, even David Haydn Jones, but I was absolutely giddy when I saw that Rob Benedict himself Liked my Collection of Tweets from his and Jake Abel's panel from the Las Vegas Con last night!
I checked the account 3 times before I made this little Tweet about it. From the timing, he must have done it before the Saturday Night Special concert. Eeeee!!!! :D

Give me your TV Series Recs, y'all!
Jan. 4th, 2020 05:29 amWith so many shows ending soon (shhhhh!) and my internet situation improving, I'm looking for new shows to start watching. I posted this to Twitter yesterday evening and got a lot of responses! Of course, I'd love for my LJ friends (and lurkers) to offer up their suggestions as well.
Feel free to check out the comments this Tweet over on Twitter to see what's already been mentioned (lots of Justified, Buffy, GOT). Even if you think I've probably watched a show, I can almost guarantee you that I haven't (no cable, ever), so mention away! ;)

I'm looking for new TV viewing so please recommend your favorite shows to me.
I'm open to pretty much anything & keep in mind I haven't seen a lot of the popular shows like Buffy or Game Of Thrones. Rec old shows too, cause I love series going back to the 1950s.
It's A SPN HugFest!
Feb. 2nd, 2019 04:46 amYou may wonder how I ended up timing all the Sam & Dean hugs on SPN. Well, somebody wondered if the hug in 14x12 was the longest and SuperWiki inquired and I volunteered! It was actually really quick & easy for me to do. The hardest part was finding my old stopwatch. Then I thought the battery was dead & had a terrible time getting the darned thing out! But I put it back in and voila! It worked again. But timing the hugs? Easy peasy! :D
( More Tweets... )

I got a little Tweet happy when I finally got home and also grabbed a few ugly, low-res caps from the ep.
( The rest under a cut for spoilery thoughts & caps from the episode. )

Nov. 26th, 2018 04:21 amTalk about multitasking!
Not only was I uploading videos of the shows I attended at our state fair back in September, I was also fixing and converting more VanCon 2018 videos. I'm finally into the SNS ones, which included Jensen singing his 2 songs. *squee* :D So I posted a little sneak peek image on Twitter.

Sorry there's no Just 'Cause post today, but Friday was not a good day/night for me.
If you follow me on Twitter, you saw the progression. Not pretty.
So many have reached out to me with support, but I haven't had it in me to reply yet.
It hit suddenly, overtook me, but I'm finally seeing some brightness. I don't know why.
These feelings hit and then leave so mysteriously.
I feel a little better, but I just don't have the energy to choose a cap to post.
I hope a good sleep will reset me.
I hope you all understand. ♥
I realize this ad is a week old, but I'm still playing catch-up.
This is the "square" version posted to Twitter (as below), but I also have the actual "widescreen" caps that I'll post on Thursday (hopefully).

"OH, BOY!"
Tonight the wonderful SPN_sil on Twitter announced she is no longer going to be covering SPN conventions on Twitter due to her new job and personal reasons. I used to cover cons myself on Storify back when I initially started on the site (I think it was 2013?). I stopped in 2015 when I fell behind and Sil began con coverage with her team. I instead concentrated my Storify posts on Tweets about the SPN Production and namely info. about when and where they were filming.
So with SPN_sil calling it quits, it looks like I'm needed for convention coverage once again.
You know...on top of all the other things I'm doing. 'Cause I've got ALL this time on my hands...obviously. :P
Ha! In all honesty though, this might be the spark I need to light a fire under my butt and get in gear to get myself better organized and actually....you know, get things done. Like I used to.
Or it will be one of the worst decisions ever and a total disaster.
Either way, I've got the experience, so why not step up and take over?
I've supported Sil and her team since day one and I know how much work they've put into the cons they've covered. I only hope I can get close to filling the gap myself. Who needs sleep, right?
Fortunately, I've got a week until ChiCon to prepare and to see if I can actually do this.
Since Storify went caput, I've moved everything over to Wakelet.
So all my old Storify posts are here: https://wakelet.com/@raloria613_bb33d
I'll continue to use this account for SPN Filming Info.
I've set up a new Wakelet account just for SPN Convention Coverage here: https://wakelet.com/@raloriaspn_Zlcr5u
Feel free to follow either or both.
Wish me luck! :)

What if it was...Superstition?
Jun. 20th, 2018 04:34 amSo I found a bunch of old SPN magazine articles in my room last week and realized I wanted/needed to put them in a book of some kind for preservation. So I picked up an art portfolio from Hobby Lobby and started putting in the pages yesterday. This will make it easy to look through and read the articles as well. I'll have to buy another portfolio 'cause there's still more articles that need a safe home.
Anyhoo...I have some "rare"(?) stuff from before the Pilot aired, including this little overview article from Cinefantastique magazine? I think that was the name of it.
"A first look at Superstition" Ooops! :P
At least they got it correct in the rest of the article - though they do misspell Jensen as Jenson near the beginning of the article.

Dammit, here we go again
Apr. 13th, 2018 02:40 pmYesterday I found one of my VanCon 2010 photos of Jensen posted on Instagram with my watermark cropped off. Now keep in mind that the photo itself is square anyway, so there was no need to crop off my watermark to post it to Instagram. Anyway, I left a comment on the post about it being mine and the watermark being gone.
I then posted the issue to Twitter.
Today, I'm looking at Instagram, see that account and take another look and that post is totally gone! They never responded to my comment, just deleted the photo....which in my mind makes me out to be the bad guy. "How dare you complain about your watermark being cropped out! I won't post your photos anymore!" Really?!?
This is getting frustrating. I don't make my watermarks intrusive on my photos for a reason - I feel they'd detract from the beauty of the subject matter. But I'm seriously reconsidering taking more drastic action. I'm sick of this! Why is it so hard for people to give credit for things in this fandom anymore? Even if they didn't know who to credit...just say that in the post! Indicate that you at least are interested in finding out who to credit for the work! This is what I've done in the past. Because I want to give credit where it's due, even if I can't at the time I post something.
Maybe I'll have to start placing my watermark up by people's faces in con photos from now on. It sucks, but I've seen plenty of other photographers in the fandom doing it and now I know why. *sigh*
I then posted the issue to Twitter.

So much SPN Goodness!
Mar. 21st, 2018 12:03 amGoodness, what a gift the past couple of days have been for the SPN Family!
Jensen on Jimmy Kimmel and then Jensen, Jared, Misha, & Alex all appearing at PaleyFest today. I know it's been keeping me busy! If I don't get carpel tunnel from this it'll be a miracle! :P
+ Finally got a Hi-Res video of Jensen on JK for capping.
+ Capped the PaleyFest panel as I watched it live on FB. They're not the best, but I did post a couple on Twitter (see below).
+ I'm hoping someone will post a proper, Hi-Res video of the PaleyFest panel, but I know there's no guarantee. So I'm hesitant to continue preparing the caps I've got, since they're not the greatest quality. Why do all that work when I could be capping something better. So we'll give it a day or so, alright?
Btw, the panel was funny and totally enjoyable! Like it would be anything less?
Warning! Rare Rant: I will say one thing...WTH is with Andrew Dabb? Every time we see him he's in that same jeans, t-shirt, over-shirt outfit. I mean, for the guy who is the showrunner you'd think he'd make the effort to dress up a little for this function like everyone else w/SPN did. Sure, nobody was in anything formal like a suit, but c'mon dude!
