All you have to do?
Well, perhaps that's all you have to do on a Sunday morning, but in the Singer's Thread you're telling about what you do all the other days to be able to sing on Sunday mornings - so perhaps it's no wonder that you might feel like having a lie-in sometimes

I'm going to cook for someone tomorrow. I've decided on something I love to eat, but haven't made in almost 3 years, so the details of the recipe are a bit hazy. I hope it'll work out.

Has anyone heard about how everyone loves Keanu Reeves now? I think it's cool because he's been one of my favorite actors for a long time. In fact, the first day I noticed any of the Keanu stuff, on Reddit, I already had Constantine checked out to watch it again. I think he's cute. I had a crush on him when I saw him in Babes in Toyland when I was about 8 or 9. And I liked Constantine because if I'm afraid of demons and things I know Keanu Reeves will save me. And when I saw that movie where he was from space, I thought at the end, "Oh no, what's the use of saving the world if there's no Keanu Reeves in it?"

I haven't; why do they like him all of a sudden?

[katya]

I'm not sure exactly... http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/...ouring-of-love

Basically because apparently, according to all the stories, he's a really nice guy.

Eh, he is very good looking, but there is something very.... blank.... about him. I don't know if it's his acting, or if he's just so chilled out in person that he seems blank... but it really is sort of like looking at a brick wall. A beautifully sculpted brick wall, but you keep waiting for it to show some sign of life and it never does .

You hate the name Ffauffner.

I briefly considered naming my cat Fafnir, which has an easier spelling. Mostly for childhood memories rather than for my interest in mythology. But we already had a Smaug so I figured we had enough dragons, and went for the name of a sword from Norse mythology instead.

Kudos on adopting a pet.

Sharks are vertabrates, ergo have spines. Their's just made of cartilage, not real bone, that's all.

No, has he finally mastered a second expression?

[Mari]

Hehe, sorry Katya, count me out on the Keanu-lovers.
In fact, count me out on any actor-lovers thing.

My feelings exactly. He may be pretty, but as the linked article notes, he's not so much as bad actor as a non-actor.

Of course, I'm sure he's a good guy and all; unfortunate that character and artistic ability don't often go hand in hand.

He does look awfully sad in the meme photo, but I'm sure that's just the paparazzo catching him at an odd moment.

Nice dog!

*****

A senior citizens' group charters an overnight gambling casino bus trip from Tampa , Florida to Branson , MO.

As they entered Missouri , an elderly woman comes up to the bus driver and says, 'I've just been molested!'

The driver felt that she had fallen asleep and had a dream. So he tells her to go back to her seat, and sit down.
A short time later, another old woman comes forward, and claims that she was just molested. The driver thought he had a bus load of old wackos, but who would be molesting those old ladies?
About 10 minutes later, a third old lady comes up and says that she'd been molested too.
The bus driver decides that he'd had enough and pulls into the first rest area.

When he turns the lights on and stands up, he sees an old man on his hands and knees crawling in the aisles.
'Hey gramps, what are you doing down there?' says the bus driver.
'I lost my toupee. I thought I found it three times, but every time I try to grab it it runs away!'

Maybe beautifully sculpted brick walls are my type? My opinion of him has pretty much nothing at all to do with acting. But a lot to do with liking the characters he's played, and to an extent the movies he's been in. Constantine is one of my favorites. Not because it's great, but because I like angels and demons and religious imagery and stories with lots of black and red.

Eh, memes are usually like that though. They just have to be funny.

[Varnafindë]

I like Huan, Midge!

[Gwaimir Windgem]

I did love Tilda Swinton's performance as Gabriel; best part of the movie.

I don't remember the palette, but that sounds like it would fit.

I loved Gabriel too! So androgynous. There was a lot of green in the movie also. All the demon blood and sickly type looking things were green. But fire, church decorations, stuff like that was red. The palette, as you say, of a movie or piece of art is a big deal to me.

Puppy! I almost kind of want one he's so cute.

*pours self a heaping cup of don't-give-a-damn* Euch. These past few months have been too much. I need a vacation.

[katya]

Me too. Except more like past two weeks. Mine probably doesn't compare to yours, but I still really need a vacation from this. I need a vacation from the cat. Poor little critter. I need more food and sleep....
