janie_tangerineMh. I might post that infamous Des/Sayid sort of smut thing tomorrow or the day after if I find the guts to. Not now though, after seeing some typos I did last night I realized that Kant makes my head fail at editing.
Also, congratulations Spain. At least because your goalkeeper is hot and you preserved my sleeping patterns ;)
Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean and why you are interested in them.Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along. -> also in comments is fine.
Alfred Hitchcock: the only reason I'm proud to be born on August 13th since he's the only cool one to be born that day ;) seriously, a lot of my favorite movies are from the 40s/50s and I love, love, love his. No one could direct movies as he did and his interview with Truffaut is probably the best book about cinema I ever read all my life. My favorites are Rear Window, North by Northwest, Notorius, Psycho, The Birds and Vertigo.
Vincent Van Gogh: I'll be unoriginal, but he's my favorite artist. When I went to a comprehensive exposition of his paintings I sort of was in heaven for one day. Every time I see the Crows in a Wheat Field painting I get ridiculously emotional.
Edward Scissorhands: Where the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp team awesome was born and isn't it just one of the best movies they ever did together? I cried the first time I watched it. The acting is superb and the story is just heartbreaking.
Opera: because I am a good Italian just when it comes to opera. 85% of the Italian music I listen to is opera (even if sometimes I'll listen to some German or French one). Though I have kind of weird tastes because my favorites are Mozart (God) and Rossini (God #2), I do like Verdi but not at crazy levels, Puccini does close to nothing for me and IMHO Wagner should have died before even learning what a scale is. Never go to see Wagner live, especially if it's the Parsifal. I did and I'm positive that after three hours I was hallucinating. But apart from that, opera is much more fun than they make it seem, especially when you can appreciate some truly awful librettos redeemed by stunning music. If you want the whole package get Mozart though, IMHO nothing got closer to formal musical perfection as Don Giovanni did.
Pushing Daisies: cutest show EVER. I love it. It totally makes me smile and is such a happy show even if the subject should be sort of grim. Oh, and I totally want Emerson to be my bodyguard or something. Also, it makes me want to bake pies for a living, except I fail at that.
Photoshop: well, I'm sort of addicted. But it's probably because since I completely and utterly suck at drawing (which is probably the only skill I'd pay to have), I like to do something nice with images.
Sawyer: oh Sawyer. The favorite character of my friend that got me into Lost of which I sort of knew life, death and dimples before even watching it. Also, the most cooperative POV to write I ever found and the only character in a show I found who has more or less my literary tastes. Because I mean, he reads Steinbeck. What's not to love? Might not be my favorite because my preferences lie in three/four other places first, but I do love him, and a lot.

Date: 2008-06-22 09:51 pm (UTC)We all need some happy tv that makes us all warm and fuzzy inside don't we?
And how awsome isn't it that a guy like Emerson knits in his spare time? XD
Aw I miss that show... and I am so going to buy the dvds in September when they're released!
And Photoshop? I'm the same!
Hell, I'm even going to study graphic design for a year... and I can't draw to save my life.
I would pay to be able to draw nicely too... I would probably pay for some other skills too though. Like singing and being kickass and agile XD
edit: WTF? I scrolled up and read your line saying "and your memory cannot keep me warm but it never leaves me cold"... but I read it as
"and your memory card keeps me warm and it never leaves me cold"
.... I suck XD

Date: 2008-06-22 09:55 pm (UTC)Pushing Daisies is just so good! Especially when all the other shows I watch are nothing short than depressing. Emerson > everyone and I'll probably buy the dvds, too. It's just too good.

Totally with you on that ;)

Date: 2008-06-22 10:01 pm (UTC)*snort* see, it's not just me! Damn you Muffin Man... (we still love you though)
oh and not to forget "Gold fish! Everybody down!"
Hey sweetie, you still up for getting me a Muffin t-shirt if they sell nice ones at the concert?
Yes ♥
and they promised us a musical episode! Wohooo! xD
Those are always fun... and several of them are either musical stars already or can sing anyway
I need a PD icon
no subject
Date: 2008-06-22 10:08 pm (UTC)Gold fish! Right! I need to icon that one too ;)
Yeaaah musical episode! God, and they all sing so well *sigh* I need one too. As soon as they give me five more when I renew the 100 icons payment..

Date: 2008-06-22 10:14 pm (UTC)Well, I probably would love any official tee that doesn't have a photo (I'm looking at the online store right now, but as we all know their shipping makes everything twice as expensive) or is a pure tour shirt... like the one in the store saying just saying "Bruce Springsteen and the E street Band - 2008 tour"
If they would have this one for some reason, that would be awsome... and damn lucky XD
I would probably say I'm a size Medium for girl's tees, and a Small for men's tees ^^
Thanks again sweetie ♥
the goldfish one totally brings up pictures of mutant gigantic goldfish in my sick little mind XD

Date: 2008-06-22 10:18 pm (UTC)Perfect, I'll see what they have ;) they should have the one just for the tour though, or at least when I went and he was alone they did ;)
no subject
Date: 2008-06-22 10:23 pm (UTC)Thanks!
Yeah, they might have the plain one and one with more... stuff on it. Isn't the heart & sword one for 08?
I am so jealous you know!
no subject
Date: 2008-06-22 10:26 pm (UTC)That'd be the most awesome thing like EVER.
The heart and sword one is for 2008 -nod- I'll definitely have a look. Also, since me and the partner in crime have numbered seats at least we're in no hurry ;) God I can't wait for it. Then I can die happy I guess *sigh* I'll see to make a veeery long post on the 27 -nods-.

Date: 2008-06-22 10:28 pm (UTC)Damn... if only I could draw.
You know what? I think I will have to... somehow, make art with the Muffinman and a giant goldfish and lots of scared people. There has to be a way.
ooh, numbered seats, fancy!
Damn, I will get double squees and then die of jealousy *sigh*
Oh well, at least I get to escape the country *is planning a trip atm*
