He's a little too smooth for my taste.

He's smooth, but he's got a twinkle in his eyes, too. I generally like guy sa little rougher around the edges, but I wouldn't say no to Brosnan.

Timelies all!

Got back from Chicago late last night. The con was fun, if a little disorganized.(No hospitality suite. Also, why did none of the book dealers selling new books have any Dennis Lehane books? He was the American Guest of Honor, and I know the Patrick/Angie books have recently been reprinted in paperback. Huh)

Everytime someone calls Pierce smooth and perfect, I think of this pic. I think the roles that have served him well have been smooth, but I'm not convinced that's all he is -- mostly I think he's stereotyped (but in a well paid way).

He still looks smooth and perfect to me in that picture, and that the "roughness" is for effect.

Which also works.

Geraldo's going to hell.

**********

Geraldo Rivera arrives in a Fox News truck. An elderly woman with blond hair grips his elbow. She's wearing thick dark glasses and a pink shirt. He carries her small white dog in his arms. He's wearing thigh-high waders unzipped to below his knees. We shake hands. "Her relative called one of our stations," Geraldo tells me, explaining how that call went to another station, and then another, and finally to him.

The woman had been stranded in her home for six days. Geraldo picked up the woman and her dog and brought them here. The woman looks frail on his arm, though not as bad perhaps as a lady collapsed on a chair nearby, unable to move. Or a woman in a wheelchair being lifted from the truck, carrying her prosthetic leg on her lap.

"That's the second time he brought her here," one of the doctors tells me, nodding toward Geraldo.

"What?"

"They did two takes. Geraldo made that poor woman walk from the Fox News van to the heliport twice. Both times carrying her dog."

"Are you serious?" I ask. He says he is.

4 days away, 777 posts in Natter and only 1 in COMM. I think I made the correct choice to skip to the end.

It is taking longer that it should for my brain to get back into work mode. People are saying things and they don't seem to make sense to me.

ION, my arms and legs either reacted to something yesterday or I've developed an allergy to heat. itchy, welty, red patches over all limbs that calms down when cool and flares up when hot, regardless of sun contact.

Geraldo's going to hell.

Special Hell. NOT the good kind of Special Hell.

He still looks smooth and perfect to me in that picture, and that the "roughness" is for effect.

He's too small, hairy and often skinny to be perfect for me. Now, that doesn't mean he isn't terribly terribly hot. Just not perfect.

Far be it from me to try and convince anyone to find someone hot (does that ever work?) -- just positing that Remington/Crowne/Bond is how his public likes him, and may have nothing to do with him or his potential.

I no longer pretend to understand.

That was re G*raldo, not ita's take on Pierce.

In watching the special features for The Tailor of Panama I realized: Brosnan is dumber than a box of hair. I haven't been able to find him attractive since.
