Head on over to dramaa_princess for a great picspam of Vancon.  I love how she put this together.  With icons too!

I can't figure out my favorites from this picspam.  Too many good things to pick from.
 
 

Because obviously I don't have a real life tonight...






( image heavy under the cut... )

To celebrate the RETURN of SPN tonight.  *hyperventilates*

I considered doing something...

Then I saw annkiri 's post of yesterday where she asked folks to share their favorite photos of the boys.  Go there now and bask in the wonderfulness of the Js....

This was more than enough...combined with the new(old) photos of Jared...I think I can make it until 9pm.


ETA:  God I love it when Jared throws his head back when he laughs and when Jensen's eyes crinkle....

There were so many great photos and stories from the J2 Soapbox Red Bull Soapbox event.

I just had to do a picspam of my favorite pics.

( Under the cut for lots of picspammage )

I was inspired by a comment by laurondo  to do a tribute post to Steve McQueen after Todd Farmer's interview referred to Jensen Ackles as a "young Steve McQueen." 

I admit it's been years since I've watched a Steve McQueen movie.  So I went out and downloaded "The Great Escape" from iTunes and rewatched it this afternoon.  I wanted, at the least, to nab some screen caps of the solitary scene comparing those images of Hilts to Dean in FPBs. 

Plus while I definitely associate Jensen with McQueen, I wasn't sure that McQueen had the same abilities as Jensen to express so much by the raise of an eyebrow, the look in his eye, his body language, etc.  I wouldn't be able to tell that for sure from one action movie.  But I wanted to look for it.

Read on for my McQueen tribute and comparisons to Jensen.  (Note none of the images are mine unless I mention I took a screen cap.)  At the end I make my pick between who wins--Steve McQueen or Jensen Ackles.


Someday perhaps I'll do a "bad ass" Dean picspam.  But for now I hereby declare Jensen Ackles to be the New and Improved Steve McQueen.


But you know what?  Any public comparison of Jensen as a young Steve McQueen can only help draw attention to Jensen, where he can then blow them away with his acting and all-around nice-guy while still being cool abilities.  Being associated with McQueen's "mystique" can only be a good thing.

Can be found here.

Love seeing a more "happy" Dean from S1!

Side Note:  My 3:30 am bedtime last night is REALLY catching up with me.  I am so, so tired.  I just finished my CBT course so I signed off work.  I will likely conk out within an hour.  But can't bring myself to walk away from computer, so I'm going to do a bunch of Mac software updates I've been putting off and go out to my mailbox--cuz I think I may have some cards waiting for me there.  So if you don't hear from me for a bit (ha! unlikely) it means I've conked out and I'll see you on the flip side Houston.

bellanut posted a great S3 summary picspam to celebrate tonight's episode.  I just finished it.  It's so great!  I felt the heartstrings in so many areas.

Work?  Don't ask.  I'm getting more convinced that the "time of life" may have something to do with this.  Cuz work?  It really ain't the different from normal.  Just my tolerance/reactions to it.

Got my vodka lined up for 9pm tonight, though.  I'm so conflicted, anxious, nervous, fearful, happy (cuz a new SPN!), sad (cuz the last SPN for quite a while), and more.  Part of me is so wound up that I'm afraid the episode can't possibly "live up" to my emotional expectations--so now I also add "worrying about not likely the episode because it disappoints" - to my list.  *headdesk*

...from bellanut here.  She did such a fantastic job of photo-montaging this!  I love it!

(Hee!  And I so love it when I spy some of my photos in the mix!)
