(no subject)
rambling ahead, with the possibility of spoilers. whee!
i know most of you (at least a lot of you) dislike (not to mention actively despise) jack, because he is too nice or too stupid or tries too hard or whatever. i can agree on a lot of things, certainly. but i like him, i do. not like i love locke or sawyer or hurley, but i am able to enjoy his character because i accept him as deeply flawed (like just about every character on this show). he does try too hard to be all nice and good, to the point of blinding stupidity. he passes judgement too soon and underestimates people while doubting himself incessantly and over-angsting and making a martyr of himself all too often. but he's kind and twitchy and guilty and caring and stubborn and intense and matthew fox portrays him beautifully, even with the PASTEDE ON HAIR. i'm not annoyed by him as i am by kate (although i do, to my horror, ship them insistently), and he is not intricately layered like locke or sawyer, nor does he have the cool(est) backround like hurley, but i enjoy him.
i also love claire and sayid, knew boone and shannon had TEH sexual tension from the very beginning, think sun and jin's love is 4 EVA, am half of the time annoyed by charlie, am ridiculously endeared to him on the other half, like michael because i was so wrong about him in the beginning and the poor sod is father to THE ANTICHRIST, ship mostly het, canon pairings (boone/shannon, claire/charlie, jack/kate, sawyer/kate, jack/sawyer) - oh, the horror - and, um, yes. also. THIS GODDAMN SHOW IS NOTHING WITHOUT IAN SOMERHALDER'S EV0L EYEBROWS AND POUTY LIPS. and i like sarah. and desmond is super nice in a fantastically creepy way (have only seen 2x01, shut up). and, i think, that about covers it.

i was sitting in a cozy bookshop, reading randomities and waiting for teh boyfriend, when this creepy fellow sat next to me. i could feel him eyeballing my legs. the poor thing, he had big blue eyes and bushy eyebrows and was suffering from some kind of allergy, his nose was all red and swollen, and he was weird, in that highly introspective and twitchy way, but i couldn't help but warm up to him. at one point he mustered up the courage to touch my arm and ask me what time it was, and then gave this watery smile, and then kept stealing these furtive glances at me.
but then teh boyfriend sneaked up from behind, distributing nuzzles down my neck and procclaiming how beautiful i looked, and then cutecreepy!guy mysteriously disappeared.
alas.

today we watched inconscientes, "a freudian comedy set in barcelona, 1913". i don't know if it's out in the US, but it's a marvelous spanish film with leonor watling and luis tosar. i just wanted to say that:
1. it's a very captivating dramatic comedy,
2. the performances are grate,
3. leonor looks like a porcelain doll and is absolutely gorgeous,
4. luis tosar is, beneath all that beard, a HUNKY MANLY MAN with gorgeous eyes and a beautiful smile and, oh my god, i want to make a man come like that.
yis. bed now. *snores*
