Nice to meet you anyway…

I don’t have to have surgery to remove the area from the spider bite. Yay! The surgeon said to just keep taking the antibiotics and using ointment and everything should heal up soon. Thanks to the antibiotics it is already looking much better.

I have had Gavin DeGraw on the brain for the past few days. Why don’t they play him on the radio anymore? He’s adorable and has some really good songs.

If anyone goes to see ‘In the Valley of Elah’ this weekend, please send me your thoughts on it. My next few weekends are jam packed with things and I won’t be able to see it for at least few weeks.

Hippie, hippie, yuck!

WARNING: This post might gross you out if you dislike spiders and/or talk of open wounds…

So I went to the doctor today about my spider bite and my fears were confirmed. It is a brown recluse bite, which while not fatal is nevertheless a really bad bite to have because the center of the bite essentially starts to rot and expand outward in a ring and inward as well as all the skin cells die. The doctor gave me an oral antibiotic to take every 8 hours for the next week which is supposed to help it all heal, but she said it would also get darker and nastier as it heals. She also gave me a referral and told me see a surgeon because it could potentially need to be cut out. As much as that will suck if it happens, I would much rather have the surgeon cut a piece out of my hip rather than just watching the skin die on a daily basis and end up with some gross hole there. Blech! I’m so glad I went to have it seen about though because I would hate to think of what things might have looked like in just 1-2 more days.

If my post hasn’t grossed you out enough, you should do a brown recluse spider bite search on Google because oh my freaking god there is some SCARY and totally gross stuff out there. I saw this one woman who waited a little too long to see a doctor and had a giant hole in her stomach about the size of a coffee/tea cup saucer. *shudders*

Heather and spider bites and randomness, oh my!

Just because it has made me about 50 times more excited to see ‘Broken’ than I already was, below is my girl Heather’s music video for “The Hanging Tree” from the film. I already posted it at heather-graham.org, but thought I’d post it here too because I truly am beyond excited about the film and can’t help but pimp it everywhere I can. A LOT of people have been making really nasty comments about Heather for doing this video and that makes me feel really bad for her, especially since she actually sounds pretty damned good for an actress who isn’t a trained singer. Plus, none of the nasty commentors seem to understand that she sings the song in the film and that is why she did the video, not because she’s trying to become a rocker chick or anything. Enough ranting and on to the video…

I got my first spider bite a few days ago and yuck. I didn’t even know I had a bite until a few days later when the spot turned bright red and got a little hole in it. It’s on my hip, right where my pants, etc. rub, so I didn’t even feel it until it got tender. So weird and so gross. They are coming to spray my place in a few days, so hopefully that will take care of any other unwanted visitors that might be trying to crawl up through the drain.

I capped ‘Broken English’ last week and caps are now available in the gallery if anyone is interested in using them for artsy purposes or just ogling the pretty. :)

Oh and how could I forget the train wreck that was Britney Spears’ big comeback on the VMA’s? Horrible doesn’t even begin to describe her look (I guess I should be happy she covered her girl parts up at least) or supposed performance. I’ve never been a fan and I’ve never felt bad for her because she seems to purposefully seek out all the publicity, good, bad and otherwise, but I actually felt a wee (and I do mean wee) bit sorry for her because she sucked so bad and apparently Sarah Silverman said such horrible things about her and her kids, which is just in such poor taste. Make fun of the train wreck all you want, but not someone’s kids. That’s just cruel.

I finally saw 300 the other day and I wasn’t terribly impressed. Aside from the insanely hot male specimens the film had to offer, there wasn’t a whole lot else that I enjoyed because everything looked sooooo CGI. Yes, I knew the whole film was done in CGI, but I didn’t expect the finished product to look entirely fake. The blood looked fake, the dead bodies and flying severed heads and limbs looked totally fake. And was that really Rodrigo Santoro who played Xerxes? If so, they did an excellent job of taking away all that makes him attractive and instead turned him into a totally laughable and non-scary character complete with cheesy-fake-deep-throaty-menacing-voice and all. I think they must have been trying for a more manly version of Jaye Davidson‘s character, Ra, in Stargate, but failed miserably. I also didn’t see anything super special about Lena Headey and I really expected to with all the hoopla surrounding the film and her in general. No offense to her fans, I just didn’t see anything special about her acting abilities. She is pretty, but not quite my cup of tea. And what accent was my beloved Gerry attempting to use? It was bad whatever it was. I don’t mean to nitpick it to death because I know most everyone thought it was a cinematic masterpiece, but I just didn’t see what everyone else saw.

I also watched Zodiac and aside from the excellent acting and stellar cast, I didn’t enjoy it all that much either. My most petty complaint is that of Anthony Edward’s hairpiece. Why??? He’s been mostly bald for forever and I always kind of dug him mostly bald and they had to cover up his glorious mostly baldness with an ugly unnatural hairpiece. Not cool.

The second season of Kyle XY is almost over. I am going to miss it.

Yay for the new season of Dexter starting soon!

If you aren’t watching Psych, then you’re missing out on some major funny. I did a little screencapping the other day of one of my favorite episodes, Shawn vs. The Red Phantom, so go forth and behold the pretty! Picspam coming soon…

I also made a few new Charlize icons the other day, so if you haven’t already seen them at CTC, they are also in the gallery.

Yes, that is all the randomness I have for now. You may now return to your regularly scheduled programs.

Sexy Guys!

I told Mycah I’d be snagging this, so I finally am. I tried not to duplicate the guys she picked, but I simply had to include a few of them because they are so awesome. On to the list (in alphabetical order)…


Alan Cumming
Is he perfectly perfect? No. Does it matter? No. He’s Scottish, he can sing and he can act and he looks fabulous doing every single bit of it. He also just seems like a genuinely cool guy. If you have any doubt of his hotness, you should watch the little sex scene between Alan and Daniela Sea in season 3 of The L Word because dayum!

And the sun will set for you

Hello all! I didn’t really disappear so much as I’ve been super busy with work and various projects and was out of town for a week visiting the kiddo. Now to play catch up…

I have new hair! It’s now a lovely rich chocolate brown. I’ll try and post pics soon.

The new Linkin Park albums is most excellent. I’m currently obsessed with ‘Bleed it Out’ and ‘Shadow of the Day’ (sooooo good!) Ryan Adams new album, Easy Tiger, is also filled with much awesomeness.

jonathan-togo.com is now open, so go forth and pimp it. It’s not 100% complete, but will be soon. Yes, I do realize that I don’t really need another site, but there weren’t any really good resources out there on him and he rocks, so I couldn’t help myself.

I finally found Season 2 of Special Unit 2, so yay to that! I was getting kind of tired of looking around for it.

Can anyone explain the “CaRWash” ‘ship name for Calleigh and Ryan on CSI: Miami? I just don’t get it. I know where “Ca” and “RW” come into play, but not the “ash” part. It doesn’t make any sense. I don’t really like fused names anyway, except for LoVe because its cute and Logan and Veronica rocked.

The Beckhams scare me. I know their shoot for W Magazine is supposed to be H-O-T but I think the pics are more skanky and creepy than sexy. David actually looks more alien-like than Victoria now. *shudders*

I watched Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon over the weekend and LOVED it. It was just so much fun and very different from the typical “slasher” flick. The lead actor, Nathan Baesel, was wonderful. He has an incredibly natural talent, which is something that I love, love, love to see on film. This is the first thing I’ve ever seen him in and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing him in more stuff.

I love my new dental piece! For those of you not in the know, I have a really bad habit of clenching my teeth together pretty much 24-7 and have cracked a couple of my back teeth because I’ve been doing it for so many years, so my dentist (Dr. Steve Martin-seriously) suggested I get a “night guard” made. I’m so glad that I finally broke down and got one made even though my wallet is now somewhat unhappy and it’s not the prettiest thing ever and I can’t really speak properly with it in, but it’s helping a lot and that’s all that really matters.

People are stupid

I almost got run over on my lunch break by some stupid bitca who apparently couldn’t see the big damned stop sign at the 4-way stop in front of my building. I was starting to turn left out of my building’s parking lot (after stopping at the sign and looking all directions before proceeding) when I noticed that the car that was flying towards the intersection had no intention of stopping, so I slammed on my brakes to avoid the collision and she just flew right on through and had the nerve to honk her horn at me. What the hell? People are so freaking stupid sometimes that it hurts my brain.
