Saturday, I was watching CMT's Dukes Insider special (this is Original we're talking, not New and Of Which we Completely Disapprove, omg) and John Schneider took the time to reconfirm how "very very well" Tom W. handles Teen Idol status. He also called himself the "Uncle Jesse character" of Smallville. Which amuses me greatly.

Keira Knightley on Matthew McFayden as Mr. Darcy: "There are very few manly men on th big screen today--we sort of get these pretty, androgynous types. But it's so romantic to have someone the size of a real guy--that's what Matthew is." Careful, Keira. Don't you still have to work with Orli?

Those of you who asked to be kept in the loop on the current color of my toenails (see recent poll): I have just painted them a lovely shade called Rocket, which is dark red. Now, I don't want you to get the wrong idea because ordinarily I'm more of a blue or orange or platinum or even brown kinda girl, but every once in awhile you just have to fall back on a classic.

Music meme, just following dingogrrl

1. Go to Music Outfitters. http://www.musicoutfitters.com/resources.htm
2. Scroll to the bottom and click on your birth year.
3. Copy the list of top 100 songs from that year
4. Bold ones you like.
5. Underline your favorite.

Um, an odd thing happened when I started to highlight this list...I kind of like all of these. In that way that if they all came on the radio one after another, I'd totally be dancing and singing along. (I'm very carefully *not* explaining for myself with some of these. *g*) How 'bout I bold the ones I might be inclined to turn off (in that hypothetical radio scenario), instead. And * the ones I don't know, because I have no opinion on those.
