MASH has my life planned out quite nicely

Ah, the good ol' days of my youth. I was getting ready this morning and randomly thought of subject matter for this here blog post: MASH. You know, mansion/apartment/shack/house? The game where I never wanted to end up marrying George Tallman, living in a shack, driving a neon green Geo Metro with ten kids. The only difference now is, you can play online!

I've posted the before picture (sorry, I forgot to screen capture until after the counter started- I was just way too damn excited!) and the after. Let me tell you: this is fantasy life at its greatest!

Before:
After:

I will marry Edward Norton any day. And to live in a nice apartment in Chicago, with three kids (okay, so that might be a little too many, but it doesn't even matter at this point!), an eco-friendly Mazda 3 (Ed would love that. And I'm sure he wouldn't mind me calling him Ed because we are destined to be married and nicknames are acceptable), and I get to be a bartender. Fun times are ahead! ...And you're very welcome for posting the link to the greatest game of all time.

Top 10 Sexiest Actors Alive (IMO).

I was randomly reading a discussion board on imdb.com and -I'm sure- it was a bunch of pre-adolescent girls sharing their celebrity crushes. I figure the older kids (such as myself) can play this game too because, let's get real, all of those thread participants are illegal, therefore making their opinions irrelevant. I didn't want to join in on their thread because I felt like a superior among mere children, so I thought what better way to entertain my readers than to let you all in on my current top 10 hottest [celebrity] men through my blog. It changes frequently so it is currently tentative and is likely to change sometime in the near future. But that is neither here nor there. These are put into alphabetical order so I don't have to try to put them in chronological order from the smolderingly, deliciously beautiful to simply the hottest of hot.

Jason Bateman
I personally like him the most as Michael Bluth in Arrested Development, but also enjoyed his performance as Mark Loring in Juno, as well as his small roles as Rip Reed in Smokin' Aces and Pepper Brooks in Dodgeball.

Cam Gigandet
Cam is the freshest addition to the list because he is the newest on my radar.
I was exposed to him because I am so unbelievably pumped up for the premiere of Twilight [Nov. 21] and he will be playing the part of James.

Jake Gyllenhaal
Donnie Darko put him on the map. No other films even matter past that point, even Brokeback Mountain. That may be a little harsh, but whatev.


Jonathan Rhys Meyers
I recently saw August Rush and instantly fell in love with this Irish lad. B-e-a-utiful.


Cillian Murphy
28 Days Later was the first film that introduced me to Cillian. It wasn't until Red Eye and Batman Begins that I became über intrigued with this other Irishman. Most recently I checked out Intermission from the library and started to like him as an actor on an entirely new level.

Edward Norton
Three films in particular led Edward to the top of my favorite actors list: American History X, Fight Club, and The Painted Veil. And those are only three of the many amazing movies that he's been in. He's legendary. And amazingly beautiful.

Robert Pattinson
Another fresh face on my list, Rob Pattinson will soon be seen as Edward Cullen in Twilight, which premieres November 21. After reading the series, I couldn't be more satisfied with the choice for Edward, because Rob is stunning, sexy, and everything Edward should be.

Ryan Reynolds
A funny man. That reason alone could put him on this list, but it just so happens that he is gorgeous as well. Just Friends doesn't get the credit it deserves; it is downright hilarious and one of my favorite rom-coms. He's also great in Smokin' Aces and Definitely, Maybe.

Channing Tatum
I'll make this simple: Sexy. Funny. Thug appeal. And he can dance.

Ed Westwick
Unbelievable charm and just look at that face. Plus, I think I start to blend Chuck Bass's persona with Ed's, which is incredibly sexy and manipulative. He's the ultimate bad boy and I'll be honest: nice guys finish last.

I think the 'research' for this entry was the most entertaining part. Ahh. Sexy men.

If it's [Mike] Brown, flush it down

"Cincinnati fell to 0-7 for the fifth time since 1991, when Mike Brown* took control of the team and the franchise fell into one of the longest stretches of futility in NFL history. Only 18 times since 1991 has a team started a season by losing its first seven games; Cincinnati accounts for five of those." –Excerpt from an article on ESPN.com

*Embarrassing excuse for an owner. We will never succeed as an organization as long as he continues to run it.

I am suffering from Post-Twilight Depression

After $74.61, four books, 2444 pages, & less than seven days, I finished the Twilight Saga. The books were gripping, intense and contained the perfect blend of romance, suspense and comedy; ingredients that are sure to satisfy any reader. I finished with an unrelenting longing for the story to continue and, quite frankly, for a piece of Edward Cullen.

I've posted some gratuitous stills from the film that -unfortunately- doesn't come out for another 34 days.

Scratch that last post. . .

Okay, so Channing's pretty much got the looks department on lockdown. But I revoke my statement in the previous post because, in all actuality, Edward Cullen (albeit a fictional character) is perfection.

I started the first book of the Twilight series last night and I've made it more than halfway through. I'm going on reserve fuel today after getting next to zero sleep staying up and reading all night. I actually considered staying in on this Friday night to finish the book because I crave it so badly. We'll see if that ends up happening. Somehow I doubt it because Edward may be a man after my own heart, but he's fictional. The Captain, however, is tangible. And I crave him too.
