But the hours they creep, the pattern repeats

Even Baby Jane's charms have their limits it seems. I'm a bit out of sorts again. Apparently, I'm not the only one. You know what might help? PIE. It is Wednesday, after all. We need something to grease our way into the weekend and I make my crust with lard. Country boy, remember? So we have Julianne Moore.With that hair and those lips, she's gotta be cherry, right? Julianne is gorgeous. She's all porcelain luminosity but I can always sense the dirty humanity undercutting it. Delicious. Doesn't hurt that she was in the movie adaptations of two favorite books: The Hours and A Map of the World. If you haven't read both of those, rectify that at your earliest convenience. Wonderful, both. And impossibly sad, both. The title lyric, from a Dashboard Confessional song that is also impossibly sad, recalls The Hours for me. Oh shit. This was supposed to be a pick-me-up, wasn't it? Oh well, sometimes you just have to embrace the melancholy.I've said it before, but Good Lord if those are really her kids, just kill me now. Or make me straight, cuz I wanna be her baby daddy.

Those kids are so adorable I'd be her baby Daddy, too -- but only if we could make more of them in a lab, 'cause she doesn't turn me on any more than last week's pie.

Heh, I swear I'm really a lesbian.

Well, Jen, you have to understand that I don't necessarily want to DO her (or Famke). And I don't wanna BE them. Still...they're RIVETING.

Love Julianne Moore. Did you see her in Cookie's Fortune? Such a great movie.

Michael Guy said...

I'm wondering if I could pull off her hair color? Would the rug have to match the curtains, though?

.: bleached platinum; circa 2000 :.

Oh good Lord. I absolutely LOVE JULIANNE MOORE ...and PIE CRUST MADE WITH LARD. You made me wet myself a little.

Michael said...

Charlie, I've been meaning to see that for a while now. Your imprimatur may be just the push I needed.

MG, I have no question that you could pull it off, darling. Rug-wise, who wants to be too matchy anymore? Finally, bleached platinum circa 2000 verily SCREAMS for photo documentation.

purpletwinkie, what's a lil' incontinence between friends, right? She's fabulous and we country boys know how to make a pie crust. Let the city boys have their Crisco, I say animal byproducts all the way.

M'kay. Even this whole disturbing little 'Pie' phase that you seem to be going through Mikey, is not going to put me off what is the more important news item at hand;

Ryan Reynolds has broken up with fiance Alanis Morissette. You can read a little more about it here:

Its 'bout time he left that bitch. You shouldn't be seen fucking with 'God' anyways (Oh c'mon people. Have you not seen Dogma?. She plays God in that movie, the one with Matt Damon and Ben Afflect as angels. Hello! ::taptap::). Ryan these days is absolutely fuck me .. fuck me sideways! adorable (Blade 3 .. oh try and keep up people). Did I mention that he is 29? Hmmmmmmm. 29.

Mrs Michael Reynolds ...

::thinks wistfully::

Kinda has a nice ring to it, yes?

[PS. Brad, sweetie, if you are listening I do still love you. I'm a patient man, but I can only take so much rejection. Options, baby, options. But if you get sick of getting your cheap jollies and changing diapers, call me, m'kay?]

Michael, definitely see Cookie's Fortune. It's a little slow paced and dialogue heavy. But, the dialogue in some parts is pure genius writing and delivery. Call me for interpretive quotes I use randomly in conversation. Or..you know...just call me. ;)

I vote Jen gets to pick the pie next week.

Okay. Photo documentation may be found on my blog. I look fat.

Julianne Moore looks lovely :)

Thanks for the nomination Freakgirl but my preferred flavor of dessert would probably be even less appealing to the gay gents than Flan de Famke or Moore Mousse. Besides, I'm kind-of curious to see how long it will take for him to post pie I'd be willing to eat (besides Sarandon or Mullally, who he already knows about).

lol at Bodhi's protest banner.

Once upon a time, for me, Hollywood began and ended with Julianne Moore. I would have gladly paid $14 at the movies just to see her in a tampon commercial before the feature presentation.

Then she took a mild tumble from grace in the surely meant for Sandra Bullock "Laws of Attraction". And then, she followed that up with "The Forgotten". Oh....if only it could be forgotten!

While I would never be able to successfully argue that Ms. Moore is not one of the most classically beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes upon, I'm afraid that my crush is no more.

Laura Linney, no longer must you lurk in her shadow. You are now the object of my affection.

Sorry Julianne, we'll always have Paris.
