Finally found the pics of me and Steve Bacic (taken at a convention in Orlando in 2006).  He played Dr. Sexy in the Supernatural ep "Changing Channels," looked like he had fun--I kept thinking he looked so familiar, D'oh, I'd seen him in Stargate and Andromeda and in person. *smacks self in forehead* 

He was very nice, tall and handsome.  (Ignore me and look at the Pretty  ;-)



I'm about 5'8 in these pics, so he's as tall as Jensen--so when they're nose to nose in the ep, they're really nose to nose as they were filming.  :-)

Merry Christmas--Happy Holidays--Season's Greetings...!

This is my holiday card that I sent out in the mail this year--it was in a red border/silver snowflake card holder--I sent one to the Supernatural offices (I taped it down as a postcard) and they hung it up along with all the other wonderful cards sent as part of the SPN Postcard campaign.  ( more Christmas stuff, fundraiser news, etc. )

Thank you, thank you, mariaalejandra and janglyjewels for the snowflake cookies!! My very first virtual gifts! Hope y'all have wonderful holidays, too! *hugs*

A little fun J2 from Chicago 4u... :-D

A Happy Birthday picspam for darling PQ--hope part 2 of birthday is as good/better than part 1! Some Jared, some Sam, one with that other guy whose name starts with J ;-) and one Brock (with little Sam). Oh, and some Hobbits--ha! All of it pretty! One Jared for a preview, rest after the cut... *big smishy hugs*



( Pretty Padalecki, comin' up... )

Eeeeee! Preview for next week's episode of Castle "Vampire Weekend"--Hallowe'en themed--spoilers--but I'm posting because I'm so excited about Rick Castle's choice of Hallowe'en costume--I love Nathan Fillion!

( Preview behind cut...jeez, this is giving me fits today... )

My friend Patty made this for me at JibJab--it's a rock n' roll birthday card with "Dean" as the rocker!  Heeeee!  It's awesome--thanks, Patty!

</div></div>

As far as birthdays go, this one is turning out to be lovely (and hopefully, the fun is just beginning, my birthdays tend to meander for the month, celebrating with various friends who also have birthdays later this month, and I'm always happy to hear from folks whenever they can!)

This day started out with Happy Birthday sung to me by my mom--who has a great voice (oh, why couldn't I have inherited some of that!), and a big thank you and much love to her for all she is and does for me.  :-)

And next, at work, I got an awesome cake (above) from boss, who knows my favorite band of all time is Guns n' Roses, and made sure I had a suitably decorated cake (told a funny story about convincing the bakery it was okay to draw "guns" on my cake, hee!), and he, his wife and her dad all came to work with cake, a rose and presents--eeeee!  So thoughtful of them, even in amongst our crazy work lives.  *hugs them*

And a fellow Virgo called from work to make sure I knew she remembered, even though there's even more work craziness there, too...

Yup.  It's my birthday.  *iz happy*

(Oh, and a shout out and smishes to Becky, who got the full photo op of Men Wearing Winchester Bros/Winchester Radion podcast hats at the Vancouver con, and PQ, who made awesome icons from it!  Eeeeee!!)

Promo that was first on Kristen's E! site and here via SF Universe--and then just a few guesses/thoughts of mine... :-)

( Spoilers ahoy in promo and musings! )

...I actually made an icon all by myself and wanted to make sure it would post/look okay.


*previews LJ post*


Well, dip me in pudding and call me Charlie.  It worked!


Not sure I'm ready to make 100 of these things, but it's a start...

:-)

Eeeeeeeeeeeee!



All done with Sera Gamble Q&A for WinchesterBros.com--hope you all enjoy--lots of great stuff in there.  :-D  Please post any thoughts, etc. if you want in the comments, would love to hear.


SEASON FIVE SPOILERS ABOUND!


Link directly to WinchesterBros page--please do not repost Q&A, link to the page only--thanks!


(I'm sorry, for some reason I can't get the full link to work here.  Sigh.  My apologies for the "cut & paste" necessity--if someone can help me fix it, that'd be great)

*runs in circles, shrieking in excitement*


Sera Gamble most kindly answered a bunch of questions for us at WinchesterBros.com--I've got to organize and edit a bit, then it will be posted, within a day or two, for sure. 

We came up with some really great questions, and Sera has some terrific answers, definitely spoilery, though not super specific--but if you're a spoilerphobe, when the Q&A comes out, *do not* read it.  But, I'm excited!  :-D

I'm going to post a teeny, spoilerly tease behind the cut:



( Season 5 spoiler, ahoy! )


Wheeeeee!

Creation Entertainment sent out an email announcement today about more guests to the Vancouver and Chicago cons--I'm not going to Vancouver :-(  (wah!  I wanna take a picture with Metallicar!), but I will be in Chicago in November, and omgyay, we're getting Rob Benedict who plays the prophet, Chuck Shurley--whee!  And, I like Julie, too, she's so nice and funny.


Info reposted from my email--see Creation's site for tickets, etc.(no, I don't work for them ;-) just giving credit where due):

www.creationent.com/index.htm

In VANCOUVER, joining the fun will be:

JULIE McNIVEN: SUPERNATURAL’s Anna Milton; MAD MEN’s Hildy (appearing Friday)

 

So, the other night, I had a crazy dream with Misha Collins in it.  Misha =  Whole Bucket of Crazy, so no surprise there.  ;-)  And, I've been having lots of weird/crazy dreams lately.  Maybe it's the full moon.  I dunno.  *shakes head*

But, really, Subconscious, why this?  Misha Collins in an olive green woolen coat and black velvet floppy beret , standing there at the back of the crowd (wherever it was), provoking me to lean over to...someone...and say, "wow, Misha looks like the Archbishop of Canterbury."


WTH, Brain?

:-/

Would some dear soul with far greater Mad Photoshop Skillz than I kindly make me an icon of this?  *coughBeckyPQcough*




Please?  Pretty please, with olive oil and Jared on top?

Full credit and tons of gratitude to the maker.  :-D

I'm feeling sad and a little abandoned today.  Nothing too terrible, but just that it all seems to have piled up in one day...  *sniffles forlornly*


My boss left for California today, for a week.  And though I do enjoy the chance for peace and quiet and catching up on work, we have a really good working relationship and joke around a lot in the office, so I'll miss that part of it


Sadder, though, is that we said goodbye to our wonderful, multi-talented, sweetheart of a studio intern today.  He is going back home to New England (he's been here since January), to finish out his senior year in high school, then off to RISD in the fall.  He's been here, working in the studio (My boss is a collage artist), and could handle anything we asked of him, with patience and good humor.  Honestly, he puts some adults twice (and more) his 18 years to shame.  We will miss him very much.  :-(  I asked him for a piece of artwork as a memento, and I can't wait till it's done and I can show you guys--he's a "car guy" and I gave him a photo of Metallicar to work from and said to also make the drawing 'his own.'  It's still in progress but so much fun, I am so looking forward to when he sends it to me!  We hope that he will stay in touch and keep us up on how he's doing at college, and maybe we'll see him next winter--hope so!


And if all that wasn't killer enough, last night's Supernatural ep 4.21 just about did me in.  And, in another goodbye, 4th season is almost over, and we'll be stuck in summer hiatus hell for *months*...Wah!  :-(  ( And a little more about 4.21...  )

Anyway, thanks for listening.  I know things aren't so bad, boss will be back, our intern will do great and we'll keep in touch, and Supernatural will...well...be back for a 5th season--yay!!  So, I'll be fine, but just trying to get through a tough day...

*shuffles back to work*

So.....I stopped at Target this morning on the way to work, and they have a Starbucks, also.  My frappucino and coffee cake (whee! decadent breakfast day!) added up to $6.66.  And, it's the 6th of May.


I didn't know whether to cheer, look for Lilith behind the counter or just go home and hide for the rest of the day.


So, I went to work anyway.  Hee.

I'm going to fill out the customer survey for Target to win a $5,000 gift card:  maybe this 6.66 will bring me luck!  Ha!
