If You Could Have Anyone...


...in the world, who would he or she be?

In the early 80s it had to be Harrison Ford. Everyone raved about Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) but I thought Han Solo was the hottest thing around. And he was. Harrison Ford is quite a bit older but still very good-looking.

But if I had my pick of the pack, I would have to spend time with Colin Firth. He is really charming, attractive and was wonderful in Bridget Jones' Diary and Shakespeare in Love, a movie to which I can recite the lines. I know he was a wanker in that movie, but still - what a wanker! And he's been in many other movies: he was in Valmont, which was no where near the quality that Dangerous Liaisons was, but Colin made the movie. As in was very good.

(Oh, yay... a call has gone but not to us!)

Mel Gibson was kinda hot... but not so much after finding that one, he is stupendously religious and two, a rabid practical joker. Practical jokes are never funny to me and I would hate meeting him. I have a super low opinion of people who pay practical jokes.

Antonio Banderas? Used to be hot, discovered he likes plastic women. No, off the list now. Alec Baldwin? Yes, in his younger years. Now, that doesn't mean that older men aren't on the list... but he did not turn into a "distinguished" man. Harrison Ford is 67 and except for the bad haircut, he's still hot. But Antonio and Alec are not getting better like fine wine (a subject I am totally unqualified to comment upon, since all wine tastes aweful to me).

Colin Firth is 49 and aging nicely.

Jonny Lee Miller is good looking and I knew I knew him from something other than Hackers and I did - it was the telly show Eli Stone! And he has definitely aged well. Of course he is 37, which isn't older (at least not older than me, who will be reaching the older but not wiser age of 42 on Tuesday. (I still prove every day that age clearly does NOT confer wisdom.)

Ralph Fiennes (pronounced Ray, I think) is also a very good looking man. It's hard to believe Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Shakespeare in Love) is his brother, they don't look anything alike.

You know who else is hot? Alan Rickman! Maybe it is the bad guy thing, but I also loved him in Blow Dry. It's a British movie, and perfectly wonderful. He does make a terrific bad guy in the Harry Potter movies and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Not the best movie, but surely the best Sheriff of Nottingham.

And that concludes the hot guy list.

Yeah it's "Rayf (or Rafe) Fines". Odd but hey, he and his brother are hot! From the photos I saw of their other brother (I think he's Joseph's twin?) he's pretty impressive too. I like your other choices as well! Call me odd, but I LOVE the way Colin Firth walks!

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
