If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That scene is branded onto my eyeballs for the sheer awkwardness he suddenly sprouts and the way his hands flap uselessly and the ends of his bent arms.

That's awesome. He's channeling Kermit.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Are you counting that final running scene in Bend It Like Beckham?

Hee. The fact that I still manage to find him hot is proof of something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I found this from the link interesting:

His role on Gormenghast as the self-serving cruel Steerpike, earned Jonathan’s character this fitting description: “His body gave the appearance of being malformed but it would be difficult to say exactly what gave it this gibbous quality. Limb by limb, it appeared that he was sound enough, but the sum of these several members accrued to an unexpectedly twisted total. “

Dammit, now I'm mad I missed Gormenghast....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dammit, now I'm mad I missed Gormenghast....

It's on DVD.

Ooh, I almost forgot that I live in an age where entertainment is recorded for people to play back later. Huzzah!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'll also note that Peake's original illustrated draft is amazing.

See, I didn't make the connection at the time that Steerpike was Slade from Velvet Goldmine....

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Well, it was pretty easy to mistake him for Toni Collette's reflection in that movie.

Speaking of amazing things, I was in megan walker's neighborhood yesterday poking around at Kayo Books.

I walked by the restaurant Fly - which is on her block - and they were having Happy Hour all day, including half off on their little gourmet 10 inch pizzas. So I got a Pisco Sour ($5) and an extremely delicious white pie for $4.50. I mean, this pizza would've been a great deal at $9, but it was a steal at that price. Very thin, perfect crust, mozza, gorgonzola and carmelized onions. (No red sauce, of course.)

I bought an extra one to go to feed JZ.

Also, this morning the omelets came out especially well. The key being the lots and lots of butter I cooked them in. Feta and Italian herbs.
