Holy moly.  I noticed this morning that one of my Misha photos from Vancon 2012 on Flickr got almost 900 views just today.  I was all, what???!!!  So I googled the photo and found this Tumblr post made 5 days ago with over 17,000 notes.   Sheesh.  I'm a bit flabbergasted honestly.  How is that going to generate 17,000 notes in 5 days?   I love how it's "strange photos of Misha."  :)

Update:  Okay, I found this via someone who just reblogged it 5 days ago.  The original post was made on 4/24, so that was 17 days ago.  That makes a little more sense.  But still.

Update 2:  I swear, Tumblr is so confusing.   Now I'm seeing the orignal post was actually made in October 2012.   So, many months ago.  Still making more sense.  I guess.

Update 3:  And the orignal post has a link back to the one photo I noticed had almost 900 views today.   And that one photo itself has over 15,000 views on my Flickr.  I had never noticed that before (see below).   I saw yesterday that my Flickr site had just crossed over 100,000 photo views.



Update 4:   For posterity (whatever), a screen shot of the last 28 days of viewing on my Flickr for that photo.  I which Flickr would provide stat detail further back than 28 days.

I just posted the February Tumblr Roundup over on spnroundtable.

Speaking of Tumblr.  I found this image on Tumblr today.



I'm not asking about the photo composite aspect of this.  But rather the "vellum" looking finish on the whole thing.  Especially discernable on John's journal.    I don't think my eyes are deceiving me.  They might be as they are getting old and persnickety.   I did a quick Google but wasn't able to find something quickly.   

Anyone who loves to play in Photoshop - any ideas?  Perhaps a fog filter tinted a bit?   I haven't tried to play around yet.   This image keeps grabbing me every time I see it.

Love this.

I love how someone else can see some potential in a photo I've taken that I didn't see myself.   

Just saw this making the rounds on Tumblr.

Was looking through Tumblr for episode reactions.  Never done that before.  Not exactly sure what I should expect to see.  Definitely see conversation.  Somehow I expected more.   What I'm seeing are variations on things I felt.  LJ, unfortunately, is way too quiet on the episode (as is typical these days).

But came across this image and had to post because it just cheered me up from RL stuff.   Maybe the blackberry was a promise of summer?  Don't know.  But I just stared at it and smiled.

I just came across this on Tumblr.  I googled looking for the interview and found this much longer version on a 2011 Wordpress blog, but so far have not found the source of the interview.   Has anyone read this before and/or know where it's from?   It's not totally unknown for someone to write a fanficcy version of an interview.

Interviewer: Favorite music?

• Jensen: Garth Brooks. Best concert of my life. My dad, brother and I went. Never forget it. I own every single one of that guy's albums. Um, I love the king of pop, r.i.p. Marc Broussard, Marty Robbins, Stevie Ray Vaughan.
• Jared: And country.
• Jensen: Yes, country.
• Jared: I like country, but Jensen loves country.
• Jensen: Yeah.
• Jared: There nothing like being woken up in your trailer at four o’clock in the morning to Taylor Swift blasting from the trailer next to yours.
• Jensen: Whatever.
• Jared: What? You love Taylor Swift!
• Jensen: I know I do.
• Jared: You seriously just admitted that in public. And here I was calling you a manly-man earlier.
• Jensen: She’s a good little songwriter!
• Jared: Um, I’ve really been getting back into Pearl Jam lately. I’ve been on an everything Pearl Jam kick.
• Jensen: Yeah. Cause there’s nothing like waking up to ‘Jeremy’ blasting from the trailer next to yours at four o’clock in the morning for the like, thousandth time.
• Jared: Hey! Jeremy is a good, complicated, emotional song! It helps me get in Sam's head.
• Jensen: And it helps Dean get closer with a gun.
• Jared: But no, I like country. And I actually think I like classic rock more than he does. I’m more of the Dean in the music world and Jensen listens to .. Taylor Swift.
• Jensen: Let it go, man.
• Jared: Even Sam would never admit it if he listened to Taylor Swift.
• Jensen: Sam has no soul!
• Jared: Dude, trust me, it doesn’t matter.
