I've been thinking about Peter lately, after his descend of my "Ignition List", and I would want to make it up... a little, admiring the splendor of his powers in affective areas, with Maggie, baby Ramona (beyond tender), Jake, a flower... he deserves no less a top ranking in my (our) heart. The word that came in my head before about Peter was "sexy", now (after his paternity) is "gratifying". Choose the word you prefer.
"It feels like Spring again You sprung this on me and then It feels like Spring again But I guess it never really ends It just comes around again And I collect all the cards that you sent. But I could not say If I should stay I might not even Even remember your name Oh what a shame Oh I'm a bad valentine, a bad valentine I'm a bad valentine Oh I'm so bad, bad, bad, all the time Oh I'm a bad valentine Ooh I love you baby Aah I love you maybe Ooh I love you baby Or maybe, maybe I'm just insane. I'm a bad valentine, a bad valentine Oh I'm so bad, bad, bad, all the time Oh I'm a bad valentine" -sung by TRANSVISION VAMP. Wendy James was one of the 80's girl-crushes I had.
HELEN MIRREN SHOCKS BAFTA VIEWERS WITH F-WORD "The journalist warned her it was "a channel where people don't swear". She replied, "Where people don't swear? F**king nutbag!" Source: Mirror.co.uk, 2-12-07.
"There was plenty of rudeness to go around on both sides, not just from the famous but from the fans as well. From one who stood for hours on the red carpet to hopefully get a photo with Kate Winslet, I can attest to it. Most notably, with Jake Gyllenhaal, who was gracious with his time and generous to a fault. As he stopped to sign for someone next to me a man rudely yelled practically in his face 'are you gay' over and over and Jake gave the most brilliant look at me and the girl whose paper he was signing. We all three were embarrassed for him (the man, not Jake). Jake loudly said 'no' back to shut the bloke up. This apparently did not satisfy and the man said 'bisexual', Jake laughed no, looking straight at me, as if he couldn't believe it. I think my jaw was hanging at the man's audacity. I must have looked so funny. The man finally shouted 'dating Austin' (redundantly, for hello, it's a man's name) and Jake laughed and said 'no' again before moving on. Anyway it was the most comical and surreal moment for my brush with celebrity and made me grateful I'm just a nurse. I wouldn't have had the patience with such rudeness."

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.

"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." Source: Weblogs.Variety.com, found by Penny Lane.
"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. Source: www.ew.com
