Ewuus
While I admit that being stabbed in the eye with a sharp metal spike is a lot more painful than if the weapon were a horrifying image, the result is the same: blindness caused by some form of trauma. That is why I think I have an inkling of what the poor horses in Equus feel after I saw promotional picures of the play featuring a regrettably topless Daniel Radcliffe.
Going by the mass squeeing heard across Internetstan, I know many would disagree with me. Like the person who made the following slideshow valentine to Mr. Radcliffe. As an added bonus, the creator of the slideshow had thoughtfully sought to increase viewing pleasure by accompanying the slideshow with a snippet of Wham!’s Careless Whisper awkwardly shoehorned in between the twinkling Harry Potter theme.
DR’s pale body that is lumped with baby muscles and tufted with weird patches of body hair in defiance of the metrosexual custom of manscaping reminded me of my schooldays.
The three main sports in my junior college were-in ascending order of importance-rugby, water polo and swimming. And so there were plenty of opportunities to take in the magnificient sight of tall, bronzed swimmers with lean rippling muscles who stride around like young gods in speedos. In fact, my first major crush was my classmate (oh, Franklin) who was on the water polo team.
Then there were others, people who DR reminded me of. Due to the importance of water sports in my school, swimming was included in the P.E. curriculum. The swimming classes afforded opportunities to not dwell on scrawny nerd bods whose skin color matches that of an introvert vampire.

Brideshead Revisited movie adaptation is go! I can’t wait to see the casting of the movie. My vote: Jude Law for Sebastian Flyte, Jonathan Rhys Meyers for Charles Ryder, the current It girl, Helen Mirren, for Lady Marchmain. It would be so fun if Brideshead Revisited miniseries alum and Mirren’s co-star in Elizabeth I plays Lord Marchmain.
I didn’t know there’s an adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray set in present-day New York until I read the current issue (the one with the überbland Naomi Watts trying and failing to evoke Marilyn Monroe on the cover) of Black Book magazine. Simon Camden as Dorian Gray? No.
The director of the movie said that Hedi Slimane is their costume designer, but I can’t find Slimane's in the movie’s credits). I would totally go see the movie just for Slimane's costume designs, especially if, according to imdb.com, Mogwai indeed scored the movie.
I was surprised to see Stephen Fry popped up in this week’s preview for the upcoming episode of Bones. Fry is joining his buddy Hugh Laurie to heal characters in American TV shows. He’ll be head-shrinking David Boreanaz.
