I love going to Sydney for the weekend.

Barely for the weekend, really, but for once I ALMOST spent 24 hours there. 23 anyway. Spent largely in front of the telly with [livejournal.com profile] rosemending and [livejournal.com profile] greedy_dancer watching Full Frontal, Little Britain, Velvet Goldmine (trippy, but worthwhile for The Kiss and for Ewan McGregor in The Pants) and Seed of Chucky (also a very weird trip - we didn't spend the weekend high this time but it sure felt like it.) [livejournal.com profile] rosemending and [livejournal.com profile] beanzy were responsible and cooked real food for us all that was utterly delicious. [livejournal.com profile] greedy_dancer and I made sure we had the alcohol and chocolate to go with it. I got my first taste of Firefly and am now desperate to get the DVDs so I can see more. WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME HOW GOOD IT IS? I need a Firefly icon, stat. And check it out, [livejournal.com profile] teh_indy has made a batch! And another one too! My lucky day. *goes to pick one*

Got one! What do you think? Damn but I want 100 icons.

I am sad that [livejournal.com profile] greedy_dancer is leaving :'(

I just got an email from my father saying his picture is on the Expo website. He's so excited.

Gyllenhaal seems mystified by the hoopla surrounding his controversial role in [Brokeback] Mountain: "I really did approach it like I would any love story. No matter how weird people might think it is or how f---ed up they might consider a certain relationship to be, if there is love there, then that's all that matters." Asked about rumors that the film's love scenes break explicit new ground, he laughs coyly. "I mean...I don't know...Um, all I can say is that they're there." Another mischievous laugh.

Two songs from Velvet Goldmine as Songs of the Day:
Baby's On Fire by The Venus In Furs
AKA Brian Slade (JRM) singing and Curt Wild (Ewan) on guitar. With Brian feigning fellatio on his guitar. Hummina *dies* I'm telling you, a woman wrote this just so she could get JRM and Ewan in eyeliner and tight pants kissing.

20th Century Boy by Placebo
Placebo were actually awesome in the movie, and this performance was jaw-droppingly good.

Pics of the Day: The Velvet Goldmine-related picspam I promised [livejournal.com profile] greedy_dancer and a new pic of Jorge from TV Guide.

They ARE hot together. It's incredible when they're together. In The Pants.

Jorge is just so gorgeous, I adore him.

No worries, glad you liked it!

I just wanted to watch the one segment from the kiss through to them waking up in bed together over and over again.

Hey,
I hope you have a fun time in Sydney. I have never been there, I have been to England last year, it was brilliant and I'm going to Brisbane this weekend. I take it your Australian, cause so am I.

Love

~*Jillo*~

Yeah, I am Australian. Already back from Sydney. Going to Melbourne next month, that'll be fun!
