Gambit

Gambit (aka. Remy LeBeau) has got to be the sexiest X-Men character in existence. Bold statement, I know, but that Cajun accent has always haunted my dreams. It melts me. How could you not fall in love with that red eyed stare and those ultra-ripped abs? How? Raised by thieves, he also has that bad boy edge no girl can resist. Rogue sure couldn't...

Gambit also happens to have some rad powers, most notably charging, accelerating, and converting kinetic energy. And being really badass with cards. And that...staff. So yeah, mostly he's just a sexy bad-ass, which is more than enough to slay me.

When I found out his character would finally appear in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I nearly wet myself. After watching it...well, they could've chosen a better actor to play him, but whatever. I guess I'll just have to revisit the X-Men cartoons of the 90's (like I don't anyway). It should be noted that he's nowhere near as attractive in X-Men Evolution. Mostly because the voice actor(Alessandro Juliani) sucks. Here's a cool comparison on the voice actors. I prefer Chris Potter and Phil LaMarr.

Okay, maybe Taylor Kitsch was a little yum as Gambit.

And now ends my nerdy rambling, though my obsession with Gambit shall continue.

Tryin' To Help - Orson

While watching It's A Boy/Girl Thing on Netflix (b/c I love body swap movies) I was introduced to this song.  Tryin' To Help and Orson in general is just what I've been feeling like listening to lately. A song from a bygone era wherein a band is actually a band, playing instruments and not just digital frakking. Also, they are fun and energetic. Sadly, they are no longer together and only came out with 2 albums.

Here's a bonus vid...because I feel like it.

Locked Out Of Heaven - Bruno Mars

So, I don't really like Bruno Mars...but I'm a little crazy for this song right now. Because it feels like The Police.

This Book is Full of Spiders - David Wong

I am super duper excited because I just checked my mail today (possibly the first time in a month? Idk, there was a lot of mail in there) and finally got my copy of This Book Is Full of Spiders!

As with JDATE, I originally read this when it was available online about 5 years ago. I don't remember what the fuck happened in it though, so re-reading it will be a complete pleasure. Especially since it's in book form and not shitty webpage form. Sorry Jason Pargin, you know it's true.

Anyway, I think I might take a break from my fifty-thousand television shows to actually read a book again. Or, ya know, I'll just read it at work and on the shitter. We shall see. I am super psyched though, and it's very inspiring to see the amount of shit that comes up on Tumblr about the book.

...like this adorable child-thing

So yeah. If you want a dose of awesome-sauce in your life, read this book. Or just resign yourself to a life of "meh". It's your call.

Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk - Rufus Wainwright

"Everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger, a little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me"

True story.

Silvercoin - Angus and Julia Stone

I'm not entirely sure I even have half a feel for what Silvercoin is about. I read the lyrics and everything, but they just don't scream anything particular to me except "I'll miss you when you're gone" which is b/c it's repeated 80 times. Mostly the song just sounds like loss. So obviously it reminds me of Chad and suicide and etc...but that's a personal interpretation, I don't really have an objective one at hand.

Whatever it means, it's pretty. I really enjoy Angus Stone's emotional and yet breezy voice combined with Julia's crackly soprano. The rhythm set by the guitar also evokes the image of a journey or something, for me. But, like, a really casual journey. Like we are casually going to travel to this place that will break your heart. Thanks Angus and Julia, thanks for that.

The Black Keys

Give it up for my Ohio brethren! I hate Ohio, but The Black Keys are proof that something good can come out of that shitfest state and almost eradicate the karmic improbability that is Katie Holmes. It took me forever to actually listen to them after an article in the Rolling Stone, but am I ever glad I did. These boys are gorgeous. That deep, almost indifferent, voice with the sultry riffs and compulsory beats just drive me crazy. In a gooooood way. Yay bluesyness.

The Black Keys makes me feel like drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes is cool again. Makes me wish I had more skinny jeans and some big black glasses. Makes me feel like pursuing my art again. Or just drinking some cool brews on a hot summer day. Too bad the summer's gone just in time for me to find some truly great summer tunes.

So go ahead, get in the mood and get you some.

Turn Into - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I have been in love with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs since my dubious days as a punk rock prom queen. I love the eccentric sound, the lady singer, and their often disturbing music videos. What I really love about this song, and the whole acoustic set, really, is that we get to see that Karen O is not just a great screamer (innuendo!) but also has a clear, beautiful, and emotive singing voice without all the bells and whistles most vocalists rely upon currently. I really just can't gush enough (another innuendo!) about how much I like her tone quality, it's satisfying like...a piece of chocolate in my coffee. Yum.

Blair Waldorf

Blair Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester) is my favorite character on Gossip Girl. I came late to the Gossip Girl party, but now I'm making my way through it via my Netflix queue. Sometimes I get sick of the show, honestly, but Blair Waldorf and her tumultuous relationship with Chuck Bass  (yum!) always brings me back.

Serena can suck it, Blair rocks my cock. She reminds me of Scarlett O'Hara, managing to triumph over every obstacle through Machiavellian schemes and strategic alliances. I think I started out my GG journey hating her for the very same things I now love her for. But at heart she is loyal, strong, and the only girl that Chuck Bass will ever love.

Also her clothes are awesome and the Audrey Hepburn references never get old for me.

Blow Me (One Last Kiss) - Pink

My love/hate relationship with Pink is currently a little heavier on the love with this song. Blow Me just has such an upbeat feeling to it. Not to mention Pink's tendency towards sincere and yet creative crudeness with wordplay (ie. "No more sick whiskey dick, no more battles from me"). Even though I feel like she leans too much on talking/yelling her way through most songs, she does have a great range that she really showcases in this song. I have to admire her for that much, at least. And damn, is it not catchy?

*I think that life's too short for this, want back my ignorance and bliss, I think I've had enough of this, blow me one last kiss*

Skinny Love - Bon Iver

Yes, another Pandora find. They should pay me for advertising them so much:p I think I remember Bon Iver being popular among the indie crowd a couple years ago, but I apparently didn't pay them much attention back then. Skinny Love is a bit of a sad song, I think about the end of a relationship that didn't have much "meat" left. This song is really striking a chord with me right now. However, it also makes me kinda sad because it is a sad song, which I guess is what I like about it. Love me some sad songs. Let me just say sad some more...sad sad sad sad sad. Okay. I was obsessively replaying it on YouTube and getting a good angst on, but then ABBA came on and pulled me out of that funk. So, yeah, good times. Great song.

Interestingly, this chick Birdy has made her cover of the song pretty popular...at least that's what YouTube and Wikipedia tell me. I'm not entirely sure how because mostly I just want to laugh while watching it. Perhaps that's cruel, I mean she's 12 or something, but she has goddamned braces on and sings all braceface lispy-like while maintaining a straight face. That shit is just funny.

She Wolf - Shakira

I am simultaneously aroused and terrified. I'm not entirely sure whether this is a good or bad thing, but it's probably the appropriate response.

Starstrukk - 3OH!3 featuring Katy Perry

I was going to start off by saying I can't believe I've never heard this song before, but it's actually pretty believable. For all that I do think 3OH!3 are a swell band, I just don't like techno-y trance music all that much. It's entirely possible I have heard this song before and just didn't notice. So, yeah. But I do happen to like this song. Mostly because I'm a sucker for wolf whistling. And, don't hate me again, but Katy Perry. I do heart me some Katy.

I blame my mother. She started me off young on the pop music and I have never totally kicked it, to be perfectly honest. It's like sugar for your ears. Sweet addictive sugar. There are no AA type meetings to kick this addiction. I'm sorry. At least I mostly limit myself to Katy Perry. Maybe some Gaga. Usually when I'm drunk.

Rise of the Lyric Video

This is random, but I've just recently noticed this thing artists seem to be doing lately. You know it if you have access to YouTube at all. The Lyric Video appears to be an official sort of thing artists are releasing prior to an actual music video. For a while I just thought it was some youtubers dicking around more skillfully, but then a light bulb went on inside my head and I noticed that, no, the labels are actually doing this.

Hey, I never said I was the brightest or the quickest light bulb. I'm more of an old fluorescent...I'm just going to stop there. I am horrible with metaphors.

Anyway, what I mean to say is...I like them. I am happy about this new direction. Mostly because I am obsessed with lyrics. So yeah. Yay and stuffs. Here are a few of my favorite lyric videos:)

Madness - Muse

Madness is a song from Muses' new album The 2nd Law. Thanks to one of Sammi's friends, I found out they had a new album. And I found this song. It is soooo sexxxy. Interesting word to describe a song? Maybe, but seriously, listen to the beat. It pulses. It is impossible for me to not move my body. And obviously Matt's voice is just as gorgeous as it has always been. Too bad about that face.

Something about the beat and harmonies also reminds me of...I'm thinking something Queen. Can't quite put my finger on it though. I Want To Break Free? Maybe it just feels like Queen. Which, honestly, is never a bad thing. Everybody should channel a little Freddie. Possibly it's the crazy amount of synths making me think about Queen. I dunno, I'm crazy. It's madness I tell you! MADNESS!

But seriously, it's going to drive me crazy trying to figure out what this song reminds me of.

Might as well dance!

5 Years Time - Noah and the Whale

This song always puts me in the best mood. 5 Years Time is like the most joyful little daydream, but how could anything with a ukulele and whistling not be? Lyrically, it is only slightly more complex. Basically he's giving a bunch of happy examples of what he and his lady could be in 5 years, and then a couple not so happy ones. He explains this is all in his head, but the thoughts still make him happy. Even if in 5 years time they no longer know each other, he knows love will follow her. Who hasn't made up scenarios in their head of their future with or without someone? I know I do pretty constantly.

How could I not love this song?

Patton Oswalt

So Netflix just recommended I watch Comedians of Comedy: Live at the Troubador, and I am so glad I did. I needed some funny in my life right now. In any case it renewed my love for Patton Oswalt. This man is super funny. I basically agree with everything he says. And he reminds me of one of my friends a little bit.

Also he was recently in Young Adult, which is a movie I'm a little in love with currently, and United States of Tara which is da bomb. Oddly enough, those are both products of Diablo Cody's genius. Which is probably why I like them.

This bit, Sky Cake, is from one of his stand-ups, and should not be watched if you are overly religious/lack the ability to laugh at religion. That's about it. Okay, well, also this clip of Food For Thought, which as an ex-grocery store slave kind of tickled my fancy. Yeah, and I'd probably let Blaine Capatch tickle any and every fancy. That made no sense. *cough*

Dancing With Myself - Nouvelle Vague

A cover of Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" by Nouvelle Vague. This is so me. Because I am a total dork.

The Cigarette Duet - Princess Chelsea

This song makes me want a cigarette. Princess Chelsea is another band I'm pretty sure Pandora recommended to me. I love this song and feel it does a pretty good job of conveying the problems of relations between a smoker and a non-smoker. What is more important: love or nicotine? The age old question. Many of my friends have given up smoking for loved ones. I guess I just date smokers, kinda fixes that problem. In the event that I fall madly in love with a non-smoker...well, fuck. I suppose I would stop. Maybe.

Jennifer Westfeldt

Jennifer Westfeldt has got to be one of my favorite famous people. I first saw her  in Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place, which aside from being a mouthful, is also the first time I saw Ryan Reynolds in anything. She then went on to co-write/produce/star in Kissing Jessica Stein, one of my all-time favorite movies about two straight girl being in a lesbian relationship. Then just recently I watched Ira & Abby, a super cute movie in which she also starred/wrote/produced. A couple months ago, to yet again be thrilled by her awesomeness I rented Friends With Kids and found it to be beyond my expectations. And guess what? She wrote/produced/directed/starred in that one as well. Lady may not be as famous as Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston...but she is far above them in my book.

Also, she's been in a relationship with Jon Hamm (aka. Fucking DON DRAPER) since 1997. This woman is my idol.

John Dies at the End - David Wong

John Dies at the End is a personal favorite of mine and has been since I  first read it online one incredibly boring winter (possibly in 2007?). I hate reading books via any digital device, but I persevered for this story. I could not stop. No matter how much eyestrain resulted, IT WAS WORTH IT. Not everybody will love this book, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that if you are a worthwhile human being, you will. It is one huge mindfuck dick joke that still manages to be brilliant. And a little creepy.

The best part is that it became available in print. Buy it. It's no longer available to read on a shitty white on black website. I own it, there's no shame in buying a book. David Wong aka. Jason Pargin, Senior Editor of Cracked.com wrote it, so obviously it's funny. Funny is good for you.

Anyway, double awesome is the fact that it's now a movie! I am pants-shittingly excited to see it.

Here's the trailer:

And the fun doesn't stop there, no siree bub! The sequel This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously Dude, Don't Touch It is out October 2!!! So I guess what I'm saying here is that I'm basically just buying new underwear a lot b/c of all the shitting. Join me in the fun.

Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead

Okay, easily one of the most popular songs I've ever posted, but still an incredibly awesome song. This song came on Pandora yesterday and instantly struck a chord with me. I know I've heard it before, as with most Radiohead songs (b/c they are wildly popular AND awesome) but I've never really listened to the lyrics. Mostly I would have to say because Thom Yorke sings the thing almost unintelligibly, but that's besides the point. My point being that the lyrics said almost exactly what I was feeling at the time, and that's always a pretty miraculous event to me. One of my favorite things, you could say.

I think a comment on Songmeanings.net really summed my own interpretation of the song best: "Trying to make that person happy by being fake. It wears you out. Somehow though you keep hanging on for a long time because he or she tastes and looks like the real thing....you think if this relationship ends you might blow through the ceiling; you can't help the feelings you still have for the person...but the relationship wears you out and you are living on borrowed time as you know in the long run it could never work...it's fake and plastic."
Read more at http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/573/#wEBIijgv5rIwLzAL.99

Which is mostly why I turn so many guys down that ask me out. What they see isn't necessarily what is the real thing. They see a side of me that is appealing, but it's not the whole thing. It's not the real thing. And it wears me out. It even inspired me to write a poem...that must be forgiven for not being as great as Fake Plastic Trees. I am no Thom Yorke:(

*If I could be who you wanted all the time*

Love Is A Place

This song by Metric is just so lovely and sad. The music video is pretty beautiful as well, if not groundbreakingly original. I'm just really obsessed with it right now. I listened to it maybe 6.5 times yesterday at work. The title "Love Is A Place" reminded me of something, but it wasn't 'til someone posted the poem Love Is A Place by e.e. cummings on Songmeanings.net that I figured it out. Zing! right on the money. So I'ma post the poem here as well...just because I love it. Has nothing to do with the song, really. Well, not that I'm aware, anyway.

love is a place - e.e. cummings

love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places

yes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skillfully curled)
all worlds

Rinko Kikuchi

Reason #2 I dyed my hair blonde. Because I saw this dark haired Asian girl do it and look super fly. Obviously I am not asian, but whatever, close enough.

Rinko Kikuchi has one of the coolest names I have ever heard, birthname Yuriko. Damn Japs, gettin' all the cool names. Possibly that was racist? But it was a total compliment. I love Japanese girls. And boys...yum!

Anywho, the first movie I saw Rinko in was Babel, which aside from winning a shitload of oscar crap, was also a pretty decent movie. Her character in particular was my favorite bit. Despite the black hair.

The only other movie I've seen her in is The Brothers Bloom, a cult classic which I totally own. I watch the crap out of that movie. I tape people to chairs and use that eye-opening apparatus in A Clockwork Orange on them.

In The Brothers Bloom she plays Bang Bang, an explosives expert who always wears the most fetching hats. Rinko gave a brilliant performance and made a lovable character despite only speaking three words the entire movie.

From the moment I saw her in The Brothers Bloom, I wanted to look just like her. Also I wanted the hats.

Devon Aoki

*God damn those half-JapanESE girls! They do it to me everytime.* - Weezer

Okay, so, aside from being the daughter of Japanese founder of the Benihana restaurant chain and former wrestler Hiroaki "Rocky" Aoki, Devon is awesome in her own right as a model/actress. Because, ya know, she's hot. She's also reason #1 for me deciding to go blonde.

I first noticed her in a magazine. I kid you not, I have a literal "loved her before she was famous" moment there. That basically never happens to me. The movie I would say launched her career was 2 Fast 2 Furious. Then, of course she played Miho in Sin City. That was really the peak of her career for me. How could you not love that lovely, badass gal? And According to Wikipedia (which never lies) Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is coming out in 2013, which is pretty damn exciting. To me, at least. Hopefully it's not a flop like most sequels in that genre tend to be.

In any case, MORE MIHO!!!! WoooHooo!

El Scorcho - Weezer

Possibly one of the the only Weezer songs I don't actually own. But it really fits my mood/state of mind right now. Also, it's a Weezer song, and thus awesome. This particular song has a very Modest Mouse feel to it, in my opinion, but a rather classic Rivers Cuomo lyrical bent. Although, Brian Bell actually sings this one, I think.

"I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me."

Alles Neu - Peter Fox

The music video for this song is batshit crazy. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but those monkeys sure can play those instruments pretty well. Also Peter Fox's voice is oddly entrancing. I haven't really listened to anything German since Sammi and I were big into Perfekte Welle. That was like 3 years ago. So this was nice.

Thank you Cracked for making me aware of this video through your article 4 Music Videos on YouTube That Will Make You A Better Person. I swear actual crack-cocaine could not be more addictive than the Cracked website. I've basically replaced books with their articles. Which is probably not a good thing...

WHATEVER!

Mad Girl's Love Song

by Sylvia Plath

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness wallows in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moonstruck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fire's fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should've loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)


For whatever reason, I am in love with this poem right now. Maybe because it's May and I'm always a little depressing in May. Sylvia Plath, notoriously depressed and suicidal, fits the month.

Billie Piper

Whether playing a Call Girl or a Doctor's companion, Billie Piper is my absolute favorite! She and her horsey teeth just make my day. Also, while checking out her Wiki, I found out she used to be a pop-star in the UK, which is just, oh-hilarious! Robin Sparkles much?

Some choice songs from Billie:
1. Because We Want To
2. Day & Night
3. Something Deep Inside

Hard To Concentrate - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

I am a little obsessed with this song right now. Apparently Anthony Kiedis wrote Hard To Concentrate for his best friend and bandmate, Flea.The song was for his wedding? Bro love! Idk, in any case, it's a beautiful song with one of the most interesting arrangements I've heard in a while. The lyrics are just so nice, "sweet precision and soft collision" is such a pretty way to euphamistically talk about sex. In my opinion.

Ben Browder

Hot Hot Hottie! I have loved Ben Browder since the first time I saw him on Farscape, in which he plays an astronaut who inadvertantly gets swallowed by a wormhole and spat into a different universe. You know how astronauts and wormholes get me going:P Apparently he's also in Stargate SG1, but I haven't seen that yet, so cannot attest to his awesomeness in that particular space adventure, but I'm sure he rocks. He sure rocks my world. Can't believe he's 50 in December.

Brandi Carlile

Beautiful voice. Incredible lyrics. Passionate deliverance. What more is there to say? Oh yeah, pretty much every song of hers makes me want to cry, they feel so much like my life.

My Faves:
1. Looking Out
2. The Story
3. Tragedy
4. What Can I Say
5. Dreams

Crest 3D White

Mostly the toothpaste, because it (and my grandfather's strict 6 minute brushing advice) make my teeth look booootyful. But not in a gold pirate-tooth/gangsta way. Just, ya know, very white and shiny. Bitches. Sorry, I didn't mean to call you names. The mouthwash is pretty excellent too.

Remember to floss.

Jane Levy

Jane Levy from Suburgatory. Because in the show she is an almost perfect mix of Ellen Page and Emma Stone. She's just adorable. Really.

I Never - Rilo Kiley

I am obsessed with this song...it is so sweet and honest.

LYRICS:
I'm only a woman of flesh and bone
And i wept much, we all do.
I thought i might die alone

But i had
Never, never, never,
Never, never, never,
Never, never, never,
Never, never met you.

So baby be good to me.
I got nothing to give you, you see
Except
Everything, everything,
Everything, everything,
All the good and the bad,
'Cause i've been bad.
I've lied, cheated, stolen and been ungrateful for what i have
And i'm afraid habits rule my waking life.
I'm scared and i'm runnin'in my sleep
For you
But all the oceans, and rivers and showers
Will wash it all away and make me clean
For you

'Cause i have
Never, never, never,
Never, never, never,
Never, never, never,
Never, never, met you.

So lets take a loan out, put it down on a house
In a place we've never lived.
In a place that exists in the pages of scripts
And the songs that they sing
And all of the beautiful things
That make you weep, but don't have to make you weak

'Cause i've
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never
Loved somebody the way
That i loved you.

Favorite 80's Movies

1. Some Kind of Wonderful - is just wonderful! Mary Stewart Masterson is one of my favorite people.

2. Better Off Dead - Mmm...John Cusack when he was young. I know, the obvious John Cusack favorite is Say Anything, but aside from the stereo over the head scene, I don't really like that one all that much.

3. Sixteen Candles - featuring Molly Ringwald and the hottest guy who never made any other movies. Okay fine, he did make other movies, but not that damn many.

4. Back To The Future - all of them. Honestly, some people get all huffy about the 3rd one, but I love them all. I do love me some time travelling. Who doesn't?

5. Labyrinth - David Bowie and muppets, how could this movie be bad?

6. Terminator - Before he was governor, before the love child, Arnold was a bad-ass time travelling hunka hunka burnin' love/death machine.

7. Willow - just because. I'm pretty sure this was my favorite movie when I was 5.

8. The Lost Boys - Vampires! Not your sparkling vampires, either. These were their much cooler and scarier cousins. Twilight sucks on their balls.

9. Working Girl - Possibly the only Melanie Griffith movie I have ever seen.

10. The Breakfast Club - Because I suppose I have to include it. It is basically the quinisential 80's movie. And Judd Nelson gives me goosebumps of lust. And I own the XXX version...which is hilarious.

I am sad that many of the younger generation I talk to have not seen these great movies. They don't even know who John Hughs is. I mean, I know a lot of them are cheesy to the Nth degree...but that's what's great about them!

BABY LIPS

Baby Lips is just my new favorite lip balm/chapstick/shit I put on my lips. You can buy it pretty much anywhere that doesn't suck. Also drugstore.com is a great place to get random beauty products if you've got time to sit on your ass and just wait for it. Or Amazon. This shit has SPF20 and kinda, and I mean KINDA tints your lips. It's not a gloss, but the Peach Kiss gives a shimmer. It makes my chapped as fuck lips feel almost worthy of kisses. Fuck you Burt's Bees, a new badass is in town.

I own 3 different colors and they are all awesome smelling, but don't try to lick your lips. It tastes like ass. That would be my only complaint. It tastes like ass. But it's totally worth it.

Katy Perry

I take back what I said before. It was said in ignorance, and quite frankly, shame. Because Katy Perry is one of my guilty pleasures. I just can't help but like her catchy tunes, no matter how hard I try. No matter what color her hair is. I admire her chameleon-like styles, and her bosoms, of course. Her music videos are a bit tedious, but at least they are humorous(whether intentional or not). That's something, at least. 

Teenage Dream

The One That Got Away 

*I was June and you were my Johnny Cash*

Thinking of You

Hot N Cold

Jensen Ackles

I honestly melt, everytime he visits my television screen. The man is HOT. Also I am addicted to Supernatural, although Jared Padalecki just hasn't done it for me since Gilmore Girls. Jensen Ackles, though. MmmmmHmmmm.

To add to the awesome, he was in Dark Angel. Max's deranged brother in season 1 and his saner copy in season 2. When I realized this, I just about shit my pants. Okay, not really, but you know what I mean. Too bad he's married to an actress/model/gymnast. I just can't compete with that.

those eyes say "sex me"

Justine Joli

Not that you wanted to know, but Justine Joli is my new favorite porn star because she is a redhead and she is a nerd. She said "Cheeky Bint" in one of her porns...which is just epic. She goes to ComicCon. She is the only person I don't fall asleep to in girl on girl scenes, and yeah. She's hot. That's about it.

Movies I'm In Love With...

I'm feeling a little listy today, so I'm putting my top 10 all time movies, and the reasons why(In alphabetical order):

1. A Clockwork Orange - Deeply, disturbingly fucked up. Also the first movie my Papa made me watch.

2. Amelie -Because what's life without whimsy? This might've been the first subtitled film I ever saw.
3. Blade Runner - Sci-fi cult classic. It's just epic. Need I add Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer???

4. Clerks II - Kevin Smith makes working at a crappy fast food chain look almost fun. He also managed this with a convenience store in Clerks, too bad I know better on both counts. I should really stop modeling my life on Kevin Smith movies. Also, Jason Mews is tasty, tasty.

5. Fight Club - Because it is AWESOME. My favorite movie for the past...oh, since it came out. One of the only movies I can quote with any reliability. Need I mention Edward Norton is my favorite actor and Brad Pitt is just smokin' hot in this flick.


6. Frida - A movie about my favorite artist Frida Kahlo, starring Salma Hayek, one of the hottest women ever. Duh.

7. Jackie Brown - Too many great actors to list right now, but it stars Pam Greer, so obviously it is badass. I'm blown away by how many people have not seen this Quentin Tarantino gem.

8. Pan's Labyrinth - Subtitled. Sad. Creepy. Fairytale-esque. It was made for me.

9. Princess Bride - True Love. It reminds me of childhood and Cassandra. Also it is just hilarious. "My name is Inigo Montoya, you kill my father, prepare to die."

10. When Harry Met Sally - Because it is so true. And I'm not really sure why, but it's my comfort movie. Whenever I have a truly bad day, it perks me up. Also I know it verbatim, so I can put it on and feel free to pass out if I need to.

*side note: remind me to never do a post with that many links ever again.
* 10 points to anyone who knows how many of these movies were based on books/had books made out of them.

Tahmoh Penikett

Thank you, Tahmoh Penikett, for existing. Thank you, Canada, for keeping him safe and warm-ish. Thank you Dollhouse, Battlestar Galactica, and Riverworld for helping me see an unhealthy amount of this actor. Over and over again. I wish you were a Cylon, so I could have one of you for myself. No joke.

Disturbingly yours,
Queen of the Inane

Tahmoh in Battlestar Galactica.

Tahmoh with Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku from Dollhouse.
