cate's twin brother thomas
Whenever I see pics of Thomas Jane I think he should be Cate Blanchett's hunky twin brother. They've got the same full pouty lips, but he has a furrier chest and bigger biceps. Rrrowr. Perhaps they could play the Wonder Twins in a cinematic adaptation of the Legion of Super Heroes? Just a thought. Who would you cast in a live action Justice League movie?
When someone tells me, "Yeah, I'm 'out'," I often wonder...in what context? Out in the NoVA sense of the word, as in "Yeah, I've never said anything about it but I'm sure they all know," or truly out as in having told someone verbally and clearly "I am gay." There is a big difference between the two. The former allows you to believe you are out, when no one actually knows. The latter puts you out there as an identifiable gay person. Big difference.
Sorta kinda practice last night, indoors talking about plays and watching videos of old matches. I wanted to run. It's been raining for like 3 days now, or maybe it's just felt like it. I'm getting squirrelly. OH! Speaking of squirrels, I saw the cutest thing this morning...cuter than a little bear cub even...a mama squirrel was relocating a very teensy tinsy young squirrel (cub? squirellet?) in her mouth to a new nest. Either that or she was an evil cannibal squirrel taking recently acquired prey to her lair for a morning snack.
Got a date tonight with a cutie from Greenbelt. Yes, this DC DuPont (well, Shaw, actually) queen is officially dating outside the Beltway. He's much cuter than what I would normally date, as in no broken nose, scarring or rugged jawline. Cute like a baby squirrel cute, which is odd for me. Rugged date is not until Friday, former military, flattop, and very open and honest on the phone which was very refreshing.
Speakin' of Cate Blanchett, all this dating makes me feel kinda like Galadriel today:
"In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!"
Cue wind effects blowing around me in a nimbus of raw power, eyes aglow.

Catherine Zeta Jones as Wonder Woman (she's the only possible person currently that could replace Lynda). I would like to see The Olsen twins play the wonder twins - with one cross dressing - they are annoying enough and it would be a good transition into adulthood role. Can't think of any more... stuck on the Olsen twins crossing dressing :)
p.s. everyone needs to have a little galadriel in them at times

Thomas Jane was on Good Morning America today. He looked goooooood. And I agree, he could be Gwynneth's twin brother.

Either Terry Farrell as WonderWoman or Catherine Zeta Jones. But Lynda Carter has to make an appearence as Queen Hippolyta, Luke Wilson as the FLASH, Hugh Jackman as BatMan, Averybrooks as the voice of Martian Manhunter (since he will be CGI most fo the time), Selma Hayak as Hawkgirl, Jim Carry as PLastic Man.
And Galadriel was played by Kate Blanchet, not Gwynneth Paltrow.

Dax, I really hate to say it, but you're right about Gwynneth / Kate. 'Doh! I lose both geek AND queer points for that one.

Naaa you did not loose any geek points. You only loose Geek points if you pick the wrong Saavik :-)
Of which we all know Kirsti Alley is the one and only Saavik.
Queer points, I dont know about that since they took my gay card long ago for attending a Danzig concert :-)

Umm...Kirstie could play the part of the Klingon High Queen these days. Or one of their ships.

I'm not so sure Kirsti is dignified enough to be a Klingon Battle Cruiser, however, she would make a nice shuttle craft.

OK, howabout a Ferengi cargo barge?
