Saturday 9: When You Wish Upon a Star

1. Who was your first crush on a movie star?

My first crush on a movie star was on Harrison Ford as Han Solo in the original Star Wars. Rakishly handsome, sexy, angry and anti-establishment - so my kind of guy! A romantic but not obviously! A rebel, an insurgent. Wild rides with him! And he just looked so wonderfully edible!

Embarrassingly, my first telly crush was in Bo Duke, played by the ever-delicious-looking John Schneider. He's still around, does roles on and off on shows, and he is still quite attractive, but he has become something of a holy roller, and that is always a little too extreme for me.

2. Do you have a crush currently on a movie star?

Oh, sure. And the moment I need to think of him *poof* the mind goes blank! We'll use Robert Downey Jr. as a good example. He was a cute but mediocre kid, but wow! Somewhere between being a major junkie and just not handling life, he suddenly has transformed into a new guy - older but definitely much better looking! Much, much!

3. Is there an actor everyone seems to love but you? Who is it?

Too many of them! Jack Black, Mike Meyers, Steve Carrell - Ugh, to the nth degree!

4. Is there an actor that you love that most seem not to?

I don't know... The guy who plays the Cheif of Eureka and can figure out crimes committed in a place full of over-tallented kids.

5. Who are two movie stars you love to see in a romantic film?

I have already - Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail. A very fun and engaging movie.

6. What is your favorite romantic comedy?

Hands down, no cometition! Shakespeare in Love with Josef Fiennes and Gwyneth Platrow, and quite an amazing cast to boot.

7. Have you looked forward to seeing a romantic comedy that turned out to be awful?

Yes, indeed! We saw the movie Made of Honor about Dr. McDreamy (playing a different person but the same exact role of the underage lecherious ruoe). This time he followed his best friend to Scotland and managed to screw up the nuptials. The whole movie was utter junk.

8. What movie star would you love to have dinner with?

Alan Alda. Definitely. There would be no wasted moments in that dinner!

9. What role in what movie would you have loved to play?

I would really love to look just like and play Leeloo in The Fifth Element with Bruce Willis in it. What a fun packed movie and the tough girl... she's the Fifth Element

I would still say that I should be George in Dead Like Me.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really fair that she’s up for a MasterChef win aft

A.W.A.D. - 14-Letter Words, 14-Letter Definitions

Back in 1994, when I founded Wordsmith.org on a Pi Day (March 14), I had no idea that one day we'd be celebrating its quadridecennial. Here's what the last 14 years look in numbers: So far we have sent out 3,782 unique words and 297 AWADmail compilations to 640,000 present subscribers in 200 countries, that is more than 1.6 billion pieces of email. Well, this week we're seeing all things 14. We'll feature words that are 14 letters long, and define each of them in 14 letters. acritochromacy (uh-KRIT-o-kro-muh-see) noun Color blindness. [From Greek akritos (undistinguishing) + chroma (color).] tintinnabulate (tin-ti-NAB-yuh-layt) verb intr. To ring; to tinkle. [From Latin tintinnabulum (bell), from tintinnare (to jingle).] tinctumutation (tinkt-myoo-TAY-shuhn) noun Change of colour.

An Interesting Wife Swap...

Image
I'm catching up on our Wife Swap recordings. I'm watching the epiode Burroughs/Padovan-Hickman one that aired on 17 April 2009. The one I watched just before was really quite satisfying - the families both learned a lot and seemed to really take it to heart. This one, however, is back to the familiar mold of putting families that are so totally diametrically opposite families together that they almost can't get along. This is interesting, though, because the Padovan-Hickmans have electricity but don't use it, don't flush often, go for a week without showering and then the whole family uses the same bathwater... I can see where that would be hard, especially for me in that I have very oily skin and hair and would look rather wretched after the next day. But the family themselves are very likable and fun, the father looks more like a kindly grandfather, but really is quite intelligent and pleasant. I would have trouble with the clean thing and I'd miss my iPod
