Strange Thoughts


Ok, dear weird kindred, marriage and insomnia can be a strange combination, specially if your husband is so understanding somehow it makes feel you more guilty. The case is that there is a guy out there who supposedly was in love with me (sounds 100% corny at this point, I know, but not it's less true even so), and I want to dedicate to him this post. I won't say his name, because maybe that only would magnify my vanity, but we shared a story. His favourite song was "California Sun" by The Ramones, and his favourite movie is/was "Memento", we would watch things as "The Blank Generation" and would get drunk, we would listen to Herman Brood songs and even cried when he committed suicide, and read fanzines, so I have too much class (or I'm much of a coward) to post this in the San Valentine day.
You said me you danced without a sense of rhythm, but you know what? you're a liar.


"All my friends say I'm a fool/I can't still stand that new boy hangin' around/ Every night, honey, you're, you're not on the dancefloor/I know he is back in town/ And Marguerita, I want you so much/Can't handle myself/Tryin' to find me another love/But I just turn out to be foolin' myself, 'cause honey/I want you/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else./Hey, didn't see you hangin' around in the après-ski/And I didn't see you downtown/I know your rock'n'roll fancy playboy kind of boyfriend/ And I hate to see him back in town/Hey, Marguerita, I want you so much/Can't handle myself/Oh, I tried so hard to find me another love/But I just fooled myself, 'cause/I want you/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/'Cause when you're near/I can hear you moan/As long as you're hangin' round/I don't feel down/Hey!/ I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/Hey!/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need no, I don't need nobody, child/(Hey, mama) I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else."
"I LOVE YOU LIKE I LOVE MYSELF" -HERMAN BROOD.

Geek Maggie


"The Motion Picture Academy held its Sci-Tech Awards Saturday night at the Beverly Wilshire , a new venue for the kudofest, which has bounced around for several years. New mom Maggie Gyllenhaal hosted, looking radiant in a pewter dress while beau Peter Sarsgaard watched from a front table.

As usual, the honorees included more than a few cutups. "An award like this is a rare and beautiful thing. An award like this to a geek... is the square of that" quipped Industrial Light & Magic's Colin Davidson from the podium. [...]

Gyllenhaal warned everyone at the outset that "I fulfilled my college science requirement by taking earth science and dinosaurs," then ploughed gamely through monologues about densitometers, optical flow-based image manipulation and lossy compression. More of a problem, she said, was her contact lenses, which need a new prescription and weren't strong enough for her to see the script on her teleprompter.

"I couldn't even read 'I-L-M,'" a chagrinned Gyllenhaal told Variety afterwards. Still, she kept the aud on her side and got a big hand at the end. As for Sarsgaard, he said "I just love watching her talk. Especially in a nice dress."

"I was really killed by Babel, I loved it so much. Especially the two women, Adriana Barraza and Rinko Kikuchi. And what else? Maggie Gyllenhaal in Sherrybaby. She's my favorite, she's the best actress working. I'm obsessed with her. I think she is the real deal." -Gwyneth Paltrow dixit.

Jake in person



"Jake is more beautiful in real life

He seemed shorter to me

His hair is silkier in real life

He is the most charismatic film star you could ever see

He signed more autographs than anyone else

He was cheered more than anyone else

He hugged Ian McKellern and kissed Helen Mirren

He spent more time on the red carpet than anyone else

He was fully armed with an autograph pen (no one else was)

Jake shone! I'm so proud of our Jake tonight".

from Kate at the Dave Cullen Forum, thanks to Penny Lane.
