Now playing: a beautiful duet from the Philip Glass opera Akhnaten.

That is a beautiful piece. I remember listening to that in the library back in the 80s. At a little carrel with earphones. God, that feels like a million technologies ago.

I mean, she's cute and everything, but I honestly don't understand why she is so popular.

Allegedly, the blonde ditz in Lost in Translation is based on her.

Announcement: I have now eaten mac and cheese

Analysis: It was yummy and I am no longer hungry.

I may be the most boring guest anywhere, but I can deal with that.

Annoucement: I just realized I never ate dinner.

Analysis: Now I really want mac and cheese.

I had re-heated stuff from the noodle place in Ann Arbor. It was good. Although Kraft might have been a passable substitute.

I really like cheese. Also starches.

Okay, why'd Jack & Bobby have to have knee injury issues? I had to watch the end of the episode from the hall. And next week looks like somewhat familiar territory. But I do like that new guy that Courtney fell for. I would too. If I wasn't busy trying to get into the pants of the Bradley Cooper character.

Also, why is the Charmed Big Bad named after delicious chicken?

I may be the most boring guest anywhere, but I can deal with that.

You're not boring! You're easily entertained, which is good for a crappy host like me. And it's great to have someone to watch X-Play with.

So, I just read this at IMDB:

Troy hunk Orlando Bloom has ended his three-year romance with actress Kate Bosworth, because they were spending too much time apart, pals claim. The sexy 28-year-old has been dating the Beyond The Sea beauty since they met on the set of a Gap ad in 2002. But Bloom allegedly separated from Bosworth after their recent holiday to Brazil, because their hectic filming schedules prevented them from having a stable relationship, reports British newspaper The Mail On Sunday. A close friend explains, "Orlando has said that's it all over between him and Kate and that's he's back in the dating game. It seems they were never together for longer than a week before one of them had to jet off to the other side of the world for film commitments. Kate's devastated by the split but the truth is Orlando has always been a bit of a ladies' man and thinks he's too young to settle down."

Then I snerked a little, and wondered what they thought about it at the hatekate LJ community -- turns out it's not been mentioned there (they are, for the record, very ... involved in the doings of imaginary people people). But I looked at their info page which has a link to an URBAN DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF KATE BOSWORTH. Which I can now note is one way of going too far that I'd never thought of before.

Bwah! Charmed just used the line "What's the matter, Zankou? Chicken?" which is really a joke best appreciated by the absent Kat and lori. But still.

Allyson was in a dream I had last night (well, her voice, anyways)

Is this a symptom of Fandom OD'ing, or am I simply blessed?
