Happy Hump Day: Guy Pearce

One of the first movies that ever blew my mind was Christopher Nolan’s Memento. I had never seen anything like it and it definitely revolutionized the way I viewed movies from that point onwards. And as if the script wasn’t all sorts of amazing on its own, in comes Guy Pearce.  Something won me over about the Australian actor. I don’t know if it was his  ruggish good looks, amazing acting skills, or the overall package. I’m actually surprised he was not in more films after his rise to popularity in the early 2000’s, but he definitely is not lacking in work. In 2009, Pearce returned to his first love, Australian theater. And although I am happy he is persuing his craft on the small stage, I think he is sorely missed in the good old US of A. Hopefully this picspam will temporarily help fill that void. Good day!

Weekend Highlights

Thanks to Yelp, the hubs and I scored free tickets to see the epic Trans-Siberian Orchestra at the American Airlines Arena on Friday night. Although I wasn’t too familiar with their tuneage, I was ready for an all out rock with your cock out experience complete with pyrotechnics, head-banging and extreme effects. Although that’s exactly what we got, we found ourselves a bit bored mid-way throughout the performance. I think this was due to the drawn out “story line” that took place throughout the show, narrated by an over-enthused man. Unfortunately, these narrations would sometimes outwear their welcome by dragging on for sometimes 10 minutes at a time. However, when they rocked, boy did they ever. I just wish there was more of it.

Happy Hump Day: Michael C. Hall

With a nerve-wracking season finale quickly approaching this Sunday, I found it appropriate to feature everyone’s favorite TV serial killer, Michael C. Hall. He continues to blow audience’s minds with his hauntingly raw performance on Showtime’s Dexter and was an inspiration to all when he battled and kicked the ass of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (mainly in private), which he has stated is now in remission. I had the pleasure of meeting Michael (so weird not to refer to him as Dexter) at this past year’s Comic Con and he was just as lovely as I imagined. I wish him and his beautiful wife, Jennifer Carpenter, nothing but all the happiness in the world! Enjoy the picspam and try not to chew all your fingernails off while watching this week’s Dexter finale!

Update: Just got an email detailing that Michael C. Hall will be visiting New York City’s 101.9 RXP tomorrow, 12/9, during The Rock Show at 8am. He will also be playing his favorite tunes on air Sunday, 12/12, at 7pm before the season finale! So make sure to tune in!

Trend Bush!

Today, both myself and all the members of the Bush Army, a group of dedicated fans of the band Bush, will be attempting to trend the band on Twitter. I’d love it if some of my great readers could jump on board and help! Everyone knows how much the band means to me and how excellent they are with their fans from all my amazing experiences I have shared on here, so they are definitely well worth it. And all you have to do is pretty simple:

1. Log into your Twitter account or create an account here (it’s free!).

2. Make a post. About anything related to the band and/or music. Make sure to include the following hashtag: #Bush

Easy as 1,2…wait, there’s not even a 3!

Hope you can all participate. And for all of those that find my activity today annoying, feel free to block my tweets or just ignore them. I’ll be back to my regular tweeting schedule tomorrow!

ps; Special thanks to Ace for putting the video above together. Make sure to check out her other Bush-related videos on her youtube channel, ChemicalsBWus!

Happy Hump Day: Darren Criss

Many friends have pointed me in the direction of a Very Potter Musical, and although the few little segments I’ve seen have been all sorts of wonderful for this Potter geek, it’s his most current role as Blaine on Glee that really made my heart swell. He plays Kurt’s new crush from Dalton Academy (please let him not join their ranks, it can’t be!) and he has managed to make me love songs I usually cannot stand. Examples? Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream and this week’s Soul Sister by Train. He is absolutely wonderful! Is there anyway I can make him pocket-sized so I can tote him with me everywhere I go? No? Oh. Well, I guess this picspam will have to do!
