Friday QuoteDay

“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you’re there.” 

— Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451. American writer, who passed away June 5, 2012.

Spaced Out

Are we ... are we all at screenings watching Prometheus? We're all doing that, right?

Cause, Noomi "Cheekbones-to-the-Heavens" Rapace may make bad choices in boyfriends -- DudeBro Charlie (Logan Marshall-Green), an anthropologist/geologist/scientist who can't be bothered to walk alllll the way to a cave to look at some stupid cavemen drawings, but also thinks it's totally cool to take his damn helmet off on a foreign planet -- but excellent and gut-wrenching choices when it comes to fighting aliens. Who may be ancient.

And Charlize Theron, whom I'm writing a check to as we speak for all my monies ever, is HQIC (second week in a row) on a ship seeking answers that we may never need.

Can't say much else, because this one is spoiler-full from the first shot in, but the comments are open for thoughts.

This Picture...

Confuses me. Sexually.

Because the face? The face says, "I am Tom Cruise, jumping on Oprah's couch, because I'm freaking crazypants."

But the body? The body says, "Let's take off our pants, jump on Oprah's couch, and I will freak you like crazy."

Stop it, Tommy-boy. Just stop.

It's not easy being green. Image of a frog in water. Click to enlarge.

If one has already found their beloved prince or princess, would kissing a frog be the means to a cushy job with a solid 401K plan? Because that's the happy ending I'm searching for, minus the warts.

May this be a lesson to you all, kids. Don't drink and draw. Your beer bottles will come out all weird.

Saturday night with my husband, Matt. Wild times for nerds in love! Complete text for this badly drawn little comic below the jump.

“I love writing, but hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says, 'You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, Giftless. I'm not your agent and I'm not your mommy: I'm a white piece of paper. You wanna dance with me?' and I really, really don't. I'll go peaceable-like.”

― Aaron Sorkin, American screenwriter and producer.
