Life, Fannishness, and Thespic Infatuation

Here be an index of some things that my readers and general passers-by might be interested in. All my Still Life research and much of my writing, all in one place. Wow.

(Or, Jensen and His Girls)

When I was little, I had a set of Mattel dolls called The Sunshine Family. I had great fun playing with Stephanie, Steve, and Sweets. I had their camper/farmer's market/craft fair booth and their tandem bicycle surrey, and I believe I had their house as well.

Here's today's sunshine family, which Sunshine Dad took and Sunshine Mom shared:

Breaking news from Danneel Ackles' twitter:

We are happy to announce the birth of our precious baby girl,
Justice Jay "JJ" Ackles. She was born happy and healthy on May 30th.

If I knew how, I'd link directly to the specific tweet.

Congratulations to the happy parents, and welcome to the world, little Justice!

May the three of you enjoy a life filled with joy, laughter, and love.

I noticed something in the most recent episode, something that I kind of love.

After Sam and Dean watch Kevin's e-mailed video, after Dean has knocked the books across the room in anger and grief, as he's leaving the library, he folds his hands on top of his head.

You know the only other time we've seen him do this? After Lucifer took possession of Sam and disappeared.

That hands-on-head is Dean's gesture of ultimate despair, when he's at his wits' end and he's failed--especially someone of great importance.

I love that Jensen added that little bit.

Two months late, but we've got some very pretty Winter Wonderland snow going today. Won't be going anywhere, as the cars are snowed in, but that's okay.

( So there's this thing . . .  )

Well, traditionally, March is supposed to "come in like a lion, go out like a lamb." It wasn't particularly windy or rainy to day, but cold it was. So . . . lion, I guess?

Also, today is the 35th b-day of one Jensen Ackles. Happy Birthday, sir!

It amuses me to think that once upon a time, 35 was considered "middle aged," and was the age often cited on the Geritol commercials. (Geritol was, iirc, a vitamin supplement for aging folks.) Because looking at him? Jensen ain't no "middle aged" guy.

Also as I referred to earlier, Jensen and Danneel are expecting a little girl, and they've chosen a charity to donate to in her (unannounced) name. Follow the link, complete with a message from Jensen.

Hats Off For Cancer.

And finally, my sinuses can clear up any time now, thank you. *sniff*

It's been a long time since I've waxed poetical about Jensen Ackles, but the man is as delightful and amazing as ever. SPN won Favorite SciFi Show at the PCAs, and Jensen and Jared were there to accept the award. They were, of course, accompanied by their beautiful wives, and they all looked smashing.

( Clicky the clicky )

So. There was an SPN convention in Dallas this past weekend. Vids are becoming available. I'm at work right now, with people in the office, so I can't go looking for clips that amuse me to share, but if I get the chance, I will. (Jensen played lacrosse in high school. He wasn't very good, but he liked running into people.)

I've had it pointed out to me that SPN's new season starts in 9 days. NINE DAYS! Which is both woo-hoo, and yikes I better get moving on reviewing my new DVDs. (BTW, Jensen on blu ray on an HD TV screen . . . it almost makes my eyes water, such a gorgeous sight.)

It's been a weird, weird past couple of months. Daddy's passing (I miss, you, Daddy). Twenty-five year high school reunion. George turning 50. Good friends who build patios. New adoption case worker, and the fear that Geo and I are too old to ever be selected. New nephew on the way.

I'm so ready for this beautiful autumn weather. And I'm so ready for seeing Jensen on my TV screen again.

And per the con vids, Jensen is as charming, funny, intelligent, and gorgeous as ever. I've missed you, guy.

Also, yesterday while Geo was being an author escort at the National Book Festival, I took my Supernatural tunes outside and washed my car. I think Dean would approve.

I know I haven't been around much. Since my dad's passing, I haven't felt really motivated to post much of anything. This weekend I've been busy with my 25-year high school reunion (had a great time! :-) ), which I might write about. But when I found these pictures, I knew I had a duty to make this post.

Warning: Blindingly sexy smile and well-fitting t-shirt at the other end of this link.

Note the henna tat. I'm wondering if it's about time for me to get another one. Izhi and I each got one several years ago when we went to Kings Island together. Mine didn't last very long, though.

Okay, so maybe Danneel isn't as sun-cripsed as I originally thought. Just nicely tanned. I'm still amused by Jensen's flip-flops.

Still not sure about the pant's Danneel is wearing, though.

Lunching with the spouses.

Also, entirely too much awwwwwwww going on here. I see Jared is teaching Thomas to wear watch caps/beanies. Also also: Guest star spoiler-y warning-ish thing. (Though it shouldn't really come as any surprise to anyone who's paying attention to . . . well . . . everything.)

With the cute overload and all.

Also x3, Thomas saw wat u did thar and is side-eyeing you so hard.

Do I even really need to mention how great Jensen looks?

I didn't think so. ;-)
