All right, so I have been on several occasions been accused, albeit most lovingly, of having totally bizarre methods of logic.
This is proof that it's not just me.
Since I am currently somewhat obsessed with pix of Elijah Wood --- No! Really??? I never noticed, says the flist as one --- and since the latest pix are like these ---
found them,
darkelfgirl! *beams*
--- I mentioned to the Aunt that I love these pix so very very much but can't bring myself to do anything with them cos he looks so terribly much like her ex-husband. And she warily agreed, made some remark about Lijah not having the Jewish nose, and I say "Yeah, well, maybe I just link the two because they're both Aquarian and have those intense eyes."
And then she says ...
The Aunt: I don't know, I think he looks like that mad fellow.
Me: What mad fellow?
The Aunt: The fellow with the toothbrush.
Me: *thinks for several moments*
Me: *gets suspicious hint of idea and suitable grin begins to spread across face*
Me: What? Christian Bale? In The Machinist?
The Aunt: Yeah, that one.
Me: *kills self laughing*
And no, my Aunt did not know or remember that Christian Bale is in fact an Aquarian, a couple of days after Lij and about nine days after my ex-Uncle. *snort*
Just now, typed almost as she's saying it ...
Me: What, you've seen it more than once? How many times have you seen it?
The Aunt: Oh many times. It just happens to be on, like that Se7en, they're always on and I just watch them out of pure disgust ... I remember I turned it on and there he is on the floor, with his elbows out like a bloody chicken with the damned toothbrush and then he goes and puts that thing on the fridge and I thought "what the hell is this bloody basket case?" and I was so fascinated and didn't know what was going on. Cos it's very hard to follow if you don't watch it from the beginning and isn't there something about a hand ---
Me: *fascinated* Yeah ...
The Aunt: Right, I missed that!
Me: *choked laugh* But you like it?
The Aunt: Well, it was very well done, the story and all but it's definitely not something I'll be watching again. I certainly won't be hunting out any Christian Bale movies and saying he's a good actor.
Me: *issues filthy death glare of pain and suffering and Death*
The Aunt: Dri, he's demented, he's very disturbed. I mean, even to act that, to make himself look like that.
Me: Mmm hmm. That's why we love him.
And thass why I love her. She's totally mad in that intuitive genius way.
Such a good album, this. Perfect mellow weekend music.
