Freaky Friday - and Happy Valentine's Day

I know it is Saturday. I also know it is Valentine’s Day, but I actually don’t care…

A few years ago people in this country were all like: ”Oh Valentine’s Day. It’s SO American!” (I’m pretty sure they would have called it ‘Gay’ too if it was a term we used here). “Why do we have to American-ize everything? Geez it’s all about spending money.”

Today everybody (i.e. people in their 40’s and younger) go all crazy at Valentine’s Day. Restaurants, Flower Shops, Gift Shops…heck – all shops. They go crazy too.
And if some poor bastard from the countryside hasn’t realized that February 14th is Valentine’s Day – well then he might just be single by the 15th. Because that’s how the girls roll.

I don’t celebrate. For several reasons.
And Yes, I am single but that’s not why. I didn’t celebrate when I was in a relationship either.



Back to Freaky Friday…

Jodie Foster (1976) or Lindsay Lohan - and Jamie Lee Curtis…(2003)

It’s a tough choice.

I like Jodie Foster (and not just because of the fact that she lives - or used to live - with a woman).
I really enjoy her acting. And she has played a number of roles. From Nell to Dr. Ellie Arroway in Contact, or roles like Iris in Taxi Driver or Anna in Anna and the King.






But I really like Jamie Lee Curtis as well.
Halloween, Halloween H20, A Fish Called Wanda, Fierce Creatures and
True Lies (with Arnold Schwarzenegger) where she did a very hot (and totally funny) striptease.
If you want to watch the scene – go here – but be warned. It may not be suitable for minors…







Then there’s Lindsay Lohan… (I don’t care who she sleeps with either.)
She was adorable in The Parent Trap. I also liked Mean Girls and Herbie Fully Loaded.

(Yes I do prefer her as a redhead...)




Often remakes of movies end very, very, very bad. In this case I think they did a pretty good job.

And if you twist my arm and make me choose.... I probably have to say: 2003. (I play the guitar - I've never played field hockey or been waterskiing).

YES!

Okay so I might be a little over the top right now....

When I opened my mailbox today I got all giddy and acted totally inappropriate for a girl my age (but see if I care...). I actually think my neighbours thought I had won the lottery.
It wasn't quite the big bag of cash, but...



My copy of "Be In Want"!!!

And I just LOVE it!


Like I said earlier... Meghan Tonjes has got the most AMAZING voice and she totally rocks!

Today I have two tasks:

1. Listen to "Be In Want"


2. Watch BSG (just got the second season)

I want the weekend to start early!!!

I think this might be true...

You Are WTF?

As far as you're concerned, the internet is getting weirder and weirder. And you're the type of person who can never look away, no matter how bizarre or gross something is. No doubt about it, there are some pretty deeply disturbing people out there. And they are totally shameless! You can't help but say, "What the f*?" There really is no other appropriate reaction.

What Internet Slang Are You?

At least to some extend...

Sometimes house cleaning isn't so bad....

Bah. It sucks! BIG TIME! But I found my copy of D.E.B.S.




I know... That's some really annoying big letters...




















I really liked that movie and not just because of Jordana Brewster (even though that is a very good reason to watch this movie). There is a little romance, a little action, there's girls in short skirts (Did you know that the length of each girl's skirt was specific to the characters. Domoniques was the shortest; Max's the second shortest; Amy's the third shortest; and Janet's was the longest.), and plenty of laughs!




Lucy: I didn't even want to be a criminal. I wanted to be a pirate.
Amy: [laughs] Pirates are criminals.
Lucy: Oh. Whoops.


Max: Who's your best friend?
Amy: You are my best friend.
Max: And what did I say to you the very first day at the Academy?
Amy: "That's my bunk, bitch."
Max: After that.


Max: I can't stop thinking about Lucy Diamond.
Janet: [incredulous] You too?


And Peggy Peabody Holland Taylor is in it too.


Mrs. Petrie: Are you kidding me? We conduct a nationwide manhunt for you and you're boning the suspect? Did you think this was a joke? "Let's divert federal resources and man hours so I can have my collegiate lesbian fling in style."
Amy: I was doing research.
Mrs. Petrie: I'll bet.




Just to jog your memory:







Somehow I'll always think of Jordana Brewster lip-synching when I hear that song...

Just because I feel so patriotic today...

...and because I Y Liz Feldman...

The original video:
Liz Feldman Tribute Song/Anthem by Pil and Liv


Liz Feldman Tribute (music and lyrics by Pil and Liv)


Some of you might have seen them already (and if you watched This Just Out last Monday you will know that Liz Feldman commented on the video(s).)

If you don't usually watch This Just Out you should give it a try. She's got so many interesting guests. Today it's Tegan and Sara, but she has had a number of amazing peple on her show, like: Bridget McManus, Clementine Ford, Kate Moennig, Emily Deschanel, Clea Duvall, Erin Daniels and Uh Huh Her (they made Liz a new theme song) and more.

And she's got a really nice 'sidekick' on the show as well. Raimy Rosenduft. Yes. I Y her too ;o)

Memory Monday.

Not all my childhood movies/series involve loads and loads of beautiful women. Some involved animals, puppets and a lot of singing. All at once.

I owe a lot to Jim Henson.
He gave me (and a lot of other kids…) The Storyteller, Fraggle Rock and of course The Muppet Show.

The Storyteller: Intro...
Fraggle Rock - Fraggles: Dance your cares away…

Fraggle Rock - Gorg Junior:

Fraggle Rock - Doozers: Somehow I always imagined that the doozer sticks tasted like sugar... Muppet Show: It’s the Muppet Show… Yes it is … ;o)

Shows where humans and puppets worked together in creating a virtual world for kids like me to dream in. All you need is a little imagination!

From puppets to some even more geeky shows/series.

Knight Rider:
I’ve always wanted a car like K.I.T.T. Life would be so much easier. Other than that I really liked the fact that Michael (aka David Hasselhoff) wasn’t the one who did all the repairs. That was for Bonnie. She rocked!

Bonnie(Patricia McPherson):

Bonnie and K.I.T.T:

MacGyver:
What that man could do. I mean he practically only had his Swiss Army Knife and he could turn anything into props he could use in capturing ‘the bad guys’. Talk about using your brains as a weapon.

MacGyver:
And just because I couldn't resist: What would MacGyver do?


I watched superhero movies as a kid.
Superman:
The ones with Christopher Reeve (to me he is the ‘real’ Superman – even though some say the honour should go to George Reeves)
I admit that the sound effects, the special effects and (for some part) the acting is a whole lot better in the movies today. But I like those old movies.

Christopher Reeve:

And back then I found Lois Lane Margot Kidder really hot. I case you were wondering what she’s up to these days (not Lois Lane – she’s still writing for the Daily Planet) apparently Margot had a role in The L Word (Season 3, Episode 1). Why did I not notice her?
Margot Kidder as Lois Lane:

Batman:
Now a lot of Batman-movies and/or –series have been made. And I have watched most of them. (Although I have to admit that I haven’t seen The Dark Knight yet – I’ll get to it eventually...)
But there’s one edition I love more than any. It’s a rather old series from the 60’s. It features Batman and Robin. What’s so special about that edition then? It’s the comic additions. Every time they hit someone a cartooned sign with BAM or KAPOW or similar ‘action’ words pop up in the picture. And it may not be over-the-top effects but they are funny and they work. Putting some from the comics in the movie works!



And finally.
Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Harrison Ford aka Indiana Jones:


I loved them all but I especially enjoyed the second one with Kate Capshaw mother of Nadia…no wait….Dr. Arizona Robbins…damn not that either… Jessica Capshaw.

Kate Capshaw:

(On a side note: Kate has also played a lesbian in the movie A Girl Thing where she plays opposite Elle Macpherson. All Kate was worried about was whether 4 of her 7(!) kids watch her lesbian scenes…)

Jessica Capshaw:
(all right - technically she does not fit in here, but...)


I actually wanted to be an archaeologist because of Indiana Jones. That’s how much I love history. Unfortunately there’s not that big of a chance finding a job as an archaeologist around here…. So I’m settling for the second best – becoming a History teacher ;o)
I’m a geek… I know….

Sapphic Sunday:

For my second Sapphic Sunday post I have chosen not one, not two - but a whole bunch of women (or girls) – and actually one guy, but he’s great and you’ll love him so…

Ladies and…erhm…ladies. I give you:

Jess


Lori

AJ

Michelle

Laura/Lu

And Kade

I know the pictures aren’t that big, but you get the idea. (I ‘borrowed’ the pictures from their video thumbnails…)
You may have observed that I have been talking about them before.
They have made my week more than once with their videos.

Here’s what they say about their YouTube channel:

Welcome to The Beaver Bunch - where five (plus 1) very different LGBTQ members have come together to break stereotypes, discuss the world at large, and answer your questions.


They are all warm, genuine and very honest human beings and I like the fact that they dare take on LGBTQ questions which - at times - are really tough and (really) personal. I'm not sure I could do it. Not while facing a camera.

They are all amazing and just funny, bold, charming, witty, lovely, beautiful, caring and passionate.

And I guess it all sums up to my admiration.

All I have left to say is:
