Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I leave them to you to comment on.
Freaky.
I had to get to work 2 hours early today to give a presentation to the monday morning attorney meeting. As a reward, I get to give the same presentation to the paralegals tomorrow.
I would rather have a cookie, or George Clooney.
Redford should have just gone with the aging.
Bowie has, at long last, begun to age. I don't
think
he's fighting it.
I can't honestly say there is nothing I would ever do... I've had circles under my eyes since I was a TODDLER and if they make me look sixty when I'm forty I'd probably look into it. A breast lift to take weight off my injured shoulder is likely inevitable -- and I certainly won't mind that it'll make me look better. But people seem to go nuts.
One of the student instructors yesterday asked me if I was going to fight them in their test.
"Yes." I said. "I'll be there for you."
And then it was horrible, like the words were being yanked out of my mouth on a rope--I mean, I was scoring a test at the time and trying to focus on that.
"These five words I swear to you...when you breathe I wanna be the air for you..."
The song's been stuck in my head since then. It's been almost 48 hours. I really want Father Figure to supplant it, but it's just not working.
Speaking of music, I bought my first iTunes video yesterday, just because I wanted to see how it'd look. Cry Me A River by Justin Timberlake. I feel vaguely dirty. I swear, I searched for a Prince video, but they only had new stuff.
ita, you owe me a new set of ears.
I think young Paul Newman is hot like burning.
this reminds me that I have Hud sitting on my DVR.
Thanks a
lot,
people.
When they were younger, they were just sort of generically pretty -- DAMN pretty, but in a sort of unstamped-coin kind of way. Shiny, but generic.
I'll concur this happens a lot. It gives one hope, looking at all of the generically plastic young things on the lesser TV channels -- someday, they too might grow up into people I find interesting!!
Conversely, it's hilarious to go back and look at old stuff that now-hot people were in, before they were hot. ABC Family is rerunnign Gilmore Girls from the first season, and Flatmate calls me into the room whenever Dean (now Sam on Supernatural) in on the screen, so I can witness how ungainly and odd he is (at something like age 17).
Dana, I'd say I'm sorry. Except, well, I'm not.
Dean from SPN is still kinda ungainly, in a just-recently-a-golden-retriever-puppy sort of way. But he's maturing very well.
I keep sneezing! Make it stop! I've honestly done a year or more's worth of sneezing in the past 24 hours, despite taking some Benadryl.

Dean or Sam?
Because I'd say that about Paddywack, but not Ackles.
I was just cruising through Fandom_Wank and read the lamest wank evah. This lady in HP fandom apparently lied about having a PhD and a job as a professor at the University of Washington.
And that's it. No cancer, no dying kids, no weird incurable diseases or pleas for cash.
Is that even a wank? Why lie about something so lame if all you're going to talk about is Harry Potter? She left a flounceapology on her LJ that fessed up to her lameness and wanting to make an identity for herself that she always wanted.
It's just so lame.
Anyone have a better wank for me to read? Tell me a fandom story. Something epic!
I am lying about my low-paying job as a library assistant and my 2 kids. I am actually the chief of police of Des Moines, and am a 55 year old bald man.
