My bonnie lass she smelleth

[cyrano]

I cracked open my collected works of Wilde, and am again struck, not so much by his writing as a whole, as pieces and snippets, turns of phrase. But both Dorian Gray and Ballad of Reading Gaol are excellent reading.

On Monday after work I went up to Sawyer Camp Trail and tramped a couple of miles along the reservoir. I don't think I'm up to a twelve mile hike, but I'd like to see the whole thing. Thinking of renting a mountain bike from somewhere and trying to dupe a friend into dropping me off at one end and meeting me at the other. (:

I'm now adding Carson Daly, the Queer Eye Guy, to my famous people spotted at the airport list. I thought he was blonde, though. I touched him, Ellie, so you may now touch me. (Also, Peter Schickele back in December.)

I don't know what the criteria for selecting the Top 100 Movies was, but I'm apparently supposed to bold the ones I've seen. I also don't know why Fellowship is so far removed from the other two LotR movies.

The context of the touching?

C'mon, dude, details, I need details about my pretend gay boyfriend!

Oh and you haven't seen either "Some Like it Hot" or "All About Eve"? Two of my all time favorite films? Naughty, C-, apparently a video night is in order. Oh wait, you haven't seen "Singin' in the Rain" or "The Apartment" either. Better make that two movie nights.

Just make sure I'm around, please, since I've only seen one of those. ^_^ I'm not even going to fill that movie list out, it would be a sad thing.

And isn't Carson Daly the guy from MTV, and Carson Kressley the Fab Five fashion savant?

Yaaay videos!
And there's not much to tell. I was very professional and left him the fuck alone because if I were famous and people wanted to talk to me everywhere I went, that's what I'd want.

Um. Having gone on the web and scouted photos, it was indeed Carson Daly Of Mtv's Total Request Live(tm) who touched me.
But you can still touch me if you want.

Man, what is it with people having not seen Singin' in the Rain?
It's awesome!
Netflix that sucker! (Or come by on the 21st & I'll add it to the b-day viewing)
