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...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
