GIP, weight and writers
Sep. 25th, 2007 07:28 pmDon't mind the blank space above my layout or the new default icon. I got tired of the Ravenclaw/Luna thing, but I haven't had time to mess around with layouts and no inspiration/obsession has struck me to re-do it. The default icon is a painting by Thomas Eakins called "The Swimhole." I've been in a ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
shoebox_project mood since Saturday and I love swimming holes and such (even though I can't swim) so I cropped that one for a makeshift icon.
Before I get into my little rant, I wanted to rant about something smaller, and this goes to show how I can get to thinking from the smallest thing. I was watching Accepted earlier and The 40-Year-Old Virgin yesterday with my dad. And Jonah Hill pops up and I noticed how he was a bit heftier than he was in Superbad or Knocked Up. So I said, "Wow, I didn't realize he'd lost weight in between those movies. And considering [Justin Long's] hair, this was made before Live Free or Die Hard." And my dad said that he thinks that Jonah Hill's going to continue to lose weight as he gets to be a bigger star. And I starting thinking that honestly, I'd prefer he stay that weight. As long as he's fit and his health is in good condition, who the hell cares? Yeah, Hollywood isn't the real world and Hill most likely will lose weight even though there's the double standard about weight in Hollywood that needs to die anyway. But I'm one for people looking real. Like that Cheetah Girl (Bryans, is it?) on DWTS last night. The girl can move and she also looks like she ate something. I pine for a time when we see realistic shapes in mainstream media.
And btw, all these people on the net saying they adore these new geeks on shows need to stfu. You only love them because they're in your screen and not near you. If you saw a real geek you'd not be inclined to jump 'em. You'd do what everyone else does and laugh your head off and/or poke fun at them and call them losers with no life. This isn't against anyone in particular, but just something I've been wanting to say.
( And now for a long and winding thought process on writers and their creations. )
I just needed to get that out. I probably will head straight to bed after Cane, so I'll talk about that tomorrow along with my thoughts on Dirty Sexy Money and my official schedule for fall tv.
