The Line of Beauty
Just watched the final installment of The Line of Beauty and I was disappointed that it finished to be honest. I really loved the fantastic acting and the characters' interactions and wanted the story to go on and on, as I did with Tales of the City. I did miss alot of the talking as I am at work and people kept talking over the television, so I guess I will have to read the book. If the mini-series is repeated I would definately recomend seeing it. I will certainly be watching it again if (when) it comes on again.
I'm scared!!
I was checking out the internet last night to find out what a fear of bats was known as, because a colleague of mine has that fear (it is chiropterophobia by the way), and I found this site with an extensive list of phobias (I don't think all of these are real, but I could be wrong).
Here is a selection of my favourites:
Peladophobia - Fear of bald people.
Consecotaleophobia - Fear of chopsticks.
Oneirogmophobia - Fear of wet dreams.
Euphobia - Fear of good news (how could you, or why would you, be affraid of GOOD news?)
Barophobia - Fear of gravity (ditto for the above fear)
Genuphobia - Fear of knees (KNEES!!)
Papophobia - Fear of the Pope (actually, seeing the one we have at the moment, this one is understandable)
Kathisophobia - Fear of sitting down.
Linonophobia - Fear of string (string, why?)
Phronemophobia - Fear of thinking (I believe I work with quite a few people who suffer from this, mostly managers)
and here are some I definately do not suffer from:
Medorthophobia - Fear of the erect penis.
Ithyphallophobia - Fear of seeing, thinking or having an erect penis.
Medomalacuphobia - Fear of losing an erection.
Proctophobia - Fear of the rectum, or rectal disease.
Spermatophobia - Fear of semen.
And this one is my absolute favourite:
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - Fear of Long Words!!!!!

Pussy Got Your Tongue
Now I really can't remember whose blog I first saw this on, so I really apologise for not creditting you, whoever you are. This song, by Stardust Five and featuring the lyrics of Leone Carmen, is gonna be a big hit if it ever gets the airplay / clubplay with a good dance remix. It is so good. And I love the video animation too.
Please, I'm begging you, if you know of a good remix let me know. If you know a good remixer let them know. It WILL make a fantastic summer hit, I promise.

Prison Break just gets better!
Wow!
Just watched tonights double header of Prison Break, and it's just getting better and better, and more and more complicated. I love it so much. My only regret is knowing that there is a second series, but they could still get out, but probably not. I initially fancied Dominic Purcell most, having seen him before the series started, and then I started to fancy Wentworth Miller (though he isn't as muscular as I normally like my guys, but he's just so gorgeous). But, since then, I have fallen for Amaury Nolasco (Sucre) and he just gets more and more sexy as the series goes on. Here are some pics to show you what I mean.
Next week will be the last 2 episodes of this series and I really can't wait to see what will happen.

Hunky birthday
It also happens to be the birthday of the Russian gymnast Aleksei Nemov, who I think is great and very hunky.
I love gymnasts, especially in this position!!

What century are we in?
While working hard today, yes really, I saw a story on Sky News about Moscow's banned Gay Pride march today. The mayor had banned the parade, but around 100 people decided to go ahead with the march and risk arrest, including our own Peter Tatchell. All the marchers wanted to do was show themselves unashamedly in public and to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Shocking, eh?
Today was chosen as it marked the 13th anniversary of Russia decriminalising homosexuality. Apparently 50 gay activists have been arrested and 20 protestors.
It was barbaric the way some of the anti-gay protestors were acting.
One guy was peacefully trying to talk to reporters when he was mobbed by a crown and a fist came in over some heads and punched him in the face.
There were also 2 guys standing minding their own business when an old Russian woman walked up to them with a plastic bag over her hair, for some reason I couldn't fathom, and spat at one of the guys.
I mean, I know most of Russia is perceived as being antiquated and behind the times, but not in the centre of Moscow, which by the way is the only major capital city in the world that doesn't hold a regular Gay Pride event.
Russia, here is an invitation, come and join the 21st century!
Despite everything, a couple of things did make me laugh.
One anti-gay protestor was quoted as saying that all the homosexuals should be gathered up and sent to a remote island. Sounds like a fantastic holiday to me, though Siberia would be less inviting than, say, Fire Island or Gran Canaria!
The other thing was the name on the back of the law-enforcement officers at the event. There was one word "OMOH" what does that say when see in a mirror? I don't know what it means though. Can anyone tell me?

Bumper Stickers, luv 'em.
I found this site and was laughing for ages.
My favourites are:-
1) "I work hard because millions on welfare depend on me." (just because its true!)
2) "Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them." (true again)
3) "You're just jealous becaause the voices only talk to me." (sadly this is true too)
4) "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." (Sadly I've found out this is true!)
5) "I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather.....not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car!"
And the best, because it applies to work..
"Consciousness: that annoying time between naps."

Today is the day.
Today marks the launch of X-Men 3: The Last Stand nationwide across the UK. I can't actually see it until about 2 weeks time, but I am looking forward to seeing the film. I just hope that they haven't included too many characters this time. I am most looking forward to seeing the Sentinels though, can't wait for that.
Also looking forward to seeing Daniel Cudmore as Colossus, hope he lives up to expectations. And, obviously, to seeing more of Hugh Jackman (he's bound to get his kit off at least once during the film!!)
And, I guess most of all, I hope Vinnie Jones doesn't embarass us as the Juggernaut!

Hammerphobic attack!
I have just read that the most annoying Big Brother contestant yet, Shabaz was attacked by his father with a hammer in an "honour beating" after he went to school in high heels. It was said that he may never have returned home after that.
Now, I am in no way condoning this brutal attack on Shabaz, or anyone homo or not, but I can see why his father would have been tempted. He should have just smacked him around a bit; not for being gay, but just for being such an annoying little shit!
I really would like to get my hands on one of the golden "Wonka-style" tickets to get into the house, just so that I could smack Sharabang around the head myself. And this is from someone who has no desire to be in the Big Brother House at all.

To Sea Or Not To Sea?
As some of you will know I'm a superhero junkie, collecting comics has been a passion for much of my life and, before that, I watched superhero stuff on tv. I remember watching the "Super Friends" or whatever it was called at the time, a cartoon version of the Justice League from the 1970's. My overall favourite character would have to have been Aquaman. He could control sea creatures and was muscular and blonde, what's not to like. I wanted to be him and played as him whenever we played "superheroes" in the chool playground, when I wasn't being Super-Tiger or whatever other animal I was into that week.
I was quite excited when I first heard, ages ago, about the possibility of an Aquaman tv series, "Mercy Reef"as a spin-off from "Smallville" (though I was disappointed that the original actor, beautiful and hunky Alan Ritchson, wouldn't be playing him. All because he is much more muscular than Tom Welling! You can't have someone being bigger than Superman can you?). I just did a search in the 'net for information about the series and I find that the pilot episode WAS shot but the series probably will not be shown! WTF. Co-starring Lou Diamond Phillips, with cute Justin Hartley as Arthur Curry (Aquaman) I think it would've been a huge hit, especially if they linked it in with Smallville a couple more times. But, hey, what do I know.
Anyway, check out this site for more information and, if you want, click the link to sign the petition to save the series. You never know, it may do some good, or at the very least make you feel like you are doing something pro-active.

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE SLAP SHABAZ
Shabaz is REALLY getting on my nerves, and no one else is being allowed to show their personalities in the Big Brother House.
Doing my little psycho-analysis bit here; I think his main problem is that he was expecting the House to have a problem with his sexuality and, when they didn't, he had to up the stakes to get them to hate him, maybe to reflect his own self-hate. When that didn't work, he became aggressive, anything to make sure that he is the centre of attention. Then came the tears, AGAIN. As one or two of the other housemates said, I think he does gives gay men a bad name. We are not ALL like Shabaz, if we were, most gay men might as well be straight!!
Somebody please slap the silly camp twat!!

This story from Iran shows that Nazi's aren't the only ones to want segragation and discrimination. I picked it up on Wikipedia:
"It is reported that a new law passed by the Iranian parliament obliges the country's non-Muslim religious minorites to wear distinctive markings: yellow ribbons for Jews, red for Christians and blue for Zoroastrians."
Now I have my own prejudices, as does everyone, whether they admit it or not, but surely if you have to get someone to go ou tof their way to show you that they are the thing you hate, then it just goes to show that we are all the same. I only dislike someone because of what they do, or have done; say, or have said; not because of WHAT they are.

Happy Birthday
Just wanted to wish the lovely and excedingly talented Victoria Wood a wonderful birthday. She would definately be on my list of people to invite to a dinner party. I think also that it is about time she was made a dame. Keep up the good work Victoria, I and many others love you dearly.
Darius
Just when I thought that Darius might have finally become respectable and non-embarrassing...... this picture proves that he can still be an embarrassment, and frankly maybe should be put on the Sex-offenders register!! Thanks to Proceed at your own risk for the pic!!
