Unrelated Notes

It has been gloriously warm the last few days, and is supposed to get over 60 by Tuesday. I am so happy! I bought flowers at the farmers' market this weekend- a pot of daffodils and a pot of red tulips- and they're just starting to bloom; it's lovely. Generally I am incapable of keeping houseplants alive, but I figure if I can manage to keep these around at least until the flowers fall off, it will still be longer than a bouquet of cut flowers would have lasted, and was just as cheap.

The guy who sold them to me had been getting his picture taken by someone when I came over to pay; he came over with me to the cash register as the other guy told him to come back after, because he wanted another photo. "I think he likes me!" the plant-owner said to me, and I just laughed politely. "I mean, likes-me likes-me! What do you think? Yes or no?"

"I don't know!" I said, incredibly amused at these two older guys, in their late forties or early fifties, acting like high school students. "But I don't get strangers asking to take my photo."

Random things I have discovered on the internet: Jonathon Rhys Meyers, who I have several icons of, including the one I'm currently using, because I pretend he could play Alec, was in the remake of The Lion in Winter. Which means he actually acted out a scene wearing old-fashioned clothes and seducing someone named Richard (the relevant part starts about two minutes into that clip, but I don't know how to make it skip ahead). Too bad the personalities are entirely wrong and that everyone is such a bad actor (or maybe they only seem like it, since the poor boys have to compete against the original The Lion in Winter); I still so pleased that this exists.

Right now I have strawberries and wine and am going to go take a bath; what are y'all doing this fine evening?

I never would have guessed that; he plays so many gay characters. That's disappointing, man.

It would depend on his mood, I think. Alec can be that calculated, but certainly isn't always. I don't know if JRM could do vicious well enough, though.

RM, I think you may have him mixed up with someone else.

No, I don't. He gave a couple of semi-hostile interviews during the release of Oliver Ston'e Alexander about it, that really made a lot of people prickly. That said, he is about the prettiest thing ever, I agree.
