Happy Hump Day: Viggo Mortensen

It’s impossible not to take note of Viggo Mortensen. Not only is he all sorts of lovely, but he’s a jack of all trades: musician, photographer, artist, and these are just a few. Although I knew of him, I fell in love with him in the role of Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I can’t imagine anyone else in the role, although a funny tidbit is that it was initially supposed to go to Stuart Townsend, who was actually fired after a few days for being too young. And the rest, as they say, is history. During filming, he carried his camera around at all times and managed to snap some of my favorite pictures of Elijah and Dominic. He also was known for being overly affectionate with all members of the cast and Miranda Otto, who played Eowyn, stated in an interview that it was not difficult to act as if she was in love with him. I think we can all agree with you, girl.

Magical Moments Monday

There is definitely a lot to be thankful for on this magical Monday, so I won’t waste any more time and just get to it:

x. The hubs and I just celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary & it was perfectly low key & romantic. Just our style.
x. Being home after a wonderful 2-week vacation. I missed our house and dogs so much!
x. Watching a shirtless Henry Cavill parade around with large sticks and bedazzled bows (as in archery, not hair accessories) in The Immortals.
x. Catching up on all our missed TV. What’s better than one episode of Fringe? THREE.
x. Pumpkin pie froyo date at TCBY.
x. A full-length Hunger Games trailer. And it looks amazing.
x. Getting my hubby completely enraptured with the HG series – now I can fangirl out with him!
x. Feeling the love on our new couple blog, The Bombardment Society.
x. Finding a fully stocked Harajuku Mini collection at my local Target AND being able to fit into a size XL!

Hope the rest of you had a fabulous week!
You all better keep on those strict diets leading up to Thursday’s turkey extravaganza!
Gobble gobble!

Happy Hump Day: Henry Cavill (Part II)

I always vowed never to do a repeat hump day, but honestly, I could not help myself. British hottie, Henry Cavill, is just too beautiful for words. And I am constantly being pummeled by the most gorgeous pictures of him now that he is starring in The Immortals (directed by Tarsem, so you know it will be the most visually stunning movie ever) and as The Man of Steel himself. So I figured no one would complain if he was featured on the blog again, right? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Fun fact: did you know that his nickname growing up was Fat Cavill? Pretty hard to believe now, huh?

Happy Hump Day: Shia LaBeouf

Sure, sure. I can be a cougar at times – what of it?? Although at times I would watch Even Stevens (my friend’s little sister really loved the show), it wasn’t until Transformers that I really noticed how adorable Shia LaBeouf was – and how talented. Sure, he’s basically a somewhat self-contained trainwreck now, but at the time, he was just the best thing since sliced bread. I don’t think I have to say that aside from amazing CGI work, he carried that movie with his perfect comedic timing and charm (too bad the same cannot be said about the other two). I just wish he would clean up the ridiculous antics and mildly creepy facial hair, because I’m pretty sure he could rework his image and be that charming kid again. Until then, enjoy the hump!

ps; like my new hump day hottie badge? I had to give the boys some kind of honor!

Happy Hump Day: Daniel Craig

You ladies really love Daniel Craig. I don’t think much of him, but figured I would throw out a freebie for you all. After all, I like doing that from time to time. 😉 Sure, the man has a ridiculous body that looks beyond fantastic in clothes (specifically in this poster for Cowboys and Aliens), but I just can’t give his face the time of day. Butter face, I believe is the term. However, he really is a great actor and definitely tends to pick some pretty stellar roles. Most recently, he will be seen in David Fincher’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo based off the bestselling book trilogy (all the best movies are based off books lately, huh?). I have not read this series yet (maybe some good airplane material for my upcoming vacation), but I did watch the trailer and it looks all sorts of magnificent. Fincher is one of my favorite directors, and his style is pretty close to impeccable so I have pretty high expectations.
