Arttttticle

Found this in my internest wanderings today, gave me some to ponder, it did.

Ponder

Jason Schwartzman's (that is a horrid last name) rep described Mr. S's recent by saying "It was a very small ceremony with many family members and close friends." Very small, with many people. Go figure.

Oh my.

I am going to need a job soon. Yes, I know, I knew that before... but the final admission that ebay has a Mecca of vintage fashion means I will be spending money on, say, Edwardian silk robes and wool coats from 1934. This is, like, hard-core vintage. PLUS they have shoes in my monstrous size 12. Life just got a little bit better my friends, yes it did.

A Sup(p)er Thought

If I were to invite three people to dinner, dead or alive, at this moment, they would be:

Mohammad Mossadeq, Benjamin Franklin, and Alfred Hitchcock. The back ups would be Katharine Hepburn, a Pakistani farm worker, and Winston Churchill.

I Quite Like This, Why Do I Feel Bad About That?

Because I grew up in a community that made me feel like being a liberal was like being part of a cult and I was raised in fear of being stoned for statements like "Democrats are likeable".

Of course, I try to understand both sides, and in fact watch and study far more extreme 'right' media than the left. Not that that is hard to do, but still... At any rate, I like this. A lot.

One of the Best Jobs. Ever.

I.V. You Could Be Next

Yes, this is genuinely serious and kind of alarming, but I love the sincere gravity of the reporter in the last few moments, saying "raw fish" like "extreme nuclear defensive tactics".

He Is Really Lovely

If I were a man I would be a cross between him, Jack White, and Peter O'Toole's T.E. Lawrence. Though I am not, I admire these men spectacularly. Maybe this will help impart why (for Brand anyway).

Word of the Day: Hinky

I like Dave so much. His sense of humour is genius, and the fact that he is so upfront about this is really admirable, regardless of the hypocrisy. He gets paid to make fun of people... division of personal and professional, even if it's not right. Besides, he's a TV persona, not a politician or a cleric or an icon of any moral standards whatsoever. NOT that it's right... but I am so entertained in how it was handled. If I were being blackmailed I think I'd do the same. I have no idea who or why I would be blackmailed, but you never know.

Oh, and the word of the day hands-down is Hinky. Damn straight.

Going Around

The most exciting thing to hit my eyes in a while... OK, well, basically it is just the longer and better (and by better I mean fantastic, ha) trailer for Wes Anderson's newest film Fantastic Mr. Fox. Knowing the limited amount I do about the production of this film, I am in awe. THEN you see the visuals, hear the music, and catch that genius Anderson trademark writing... this has the potential to be phenomenal. Keeping my fingers crossed that 1. it is, and 2. I get to see it ASAP. I want to see it in London if I can... I shall try. (:3
