Three things that have made me gloriously happy

[hackthis_archive]

1. Harry Potter and some other random people and NEVILLE. It's a skit for the Queen's 80th birthday. I dunno what happens, it has Neville, I care about that. He's totally going to be tres hot geek!boy in another two years.

2. I have been making noises about a young singer named Paolo Nutini for about two months now. 19 years-old. Scottish. Looks a little like Liam Gallagher, if Liam actually had two eyebrows and was fit. He has a voice like a 27 year-old J.D. abusing, 2-pack-a-day, broken hearted man, think like Ray LaMontagne. Paolo's big single right now is 'Last Request'(live). The video is available here via You Tube, and/or his site, which also has various songs for download. And because nobody should make up their minds properly based on one song (unless it's sung by Jeff): Rewind and Million Faces

3. Radiohead make everything better. Based on what I've heard, whenever the new album drops, it will be fucking amazing. If they're in a town near you, go see them. OR. Or you could just watch Season Three Entourage and read about Lloyd -- that makes things a lot better too. OR You could interview with Ari for a Job. I know you all want to play with Ari.

4. The World Cup. Men from 32 countries. Shorts. Legs. Sweat. FOOTBALL. Finally, everyone is on the same page. Joe Cole + Peter Crouch = One Truly Cracked Pairing. Don't even get me started with all the kissing disguised as slobbering, spanking, molesting and other things that they call goal celebration. I call it by its proper name: an ORGY.

ETA: It is all about devotion to your sport, kids. Take the Thai monks who are up all night watching the World Cup, and are then too tired to receive alms the next day, you know, for an example.

"That it's full of gorgeous men with great asses running up and down a field?"


At it's most stripped *ooh* down that is what football is. Men running up and down a pitch for 90 minutes with their thoroughbred-like legs. How can people not appreciate that? It's what makes it so superior to the American version, I mean really, where is the skill in dressing up like the Michelin Man and pretending to sumo wrestle?

I enjoy American football, I do. But not nearly as much as regular football. And one day, someone will sit me down and teach me the rules of Rugby, which I strongly suspect I'd enjoy, too (it's actually my dad's family's game -- my great-grandfather played for Ireland (heh) from 1917-1919, and my cousin used to play).

But yes -- they're all good-looking and well built and in amazing fucking shape. It's not like Becks is an exception, is always my point.

I shamefully admitted to fancyiny David Beckham the other day. It made me feel a little dirty, I mean it's just so cliche, but he's so fucking good at what he does, how can that not be hot?

Yanno, sometime's a cliche is a cliche for a reason - he's gorgeous, talented and (thanks to his increasingly scary wife) well-dressed. The only difficult is what happens when he opens his mouth and sound comes out. But when he's on the pitch? He's such a thing of beauty.

EXACTLY. Also, the wife-unit is just, I mean really, she's like a tiny barbie doll, and I don't mean that in a complimentary fashion. When he's on the pitch though my brain is like, "Err, where can I get me one of those?"

She really is -- did you see the article (I use the term loosely) about how she wanted to lose half a stone before the World Cup? I just sat there muttering, "from WHERE?" She's terrifying, and looks like she's going to snap in two at the next breeze.

But, God, watching that man move? Sends me straight to my happy place, I have to admit.

Half a stone? Maybe if she removed the rocks in her chest. The woman has a disorder, she needs help. She's had three kids and if it weren't for her implants would be more skeletal than a 6 month old corpse.

It's really unbelievably scary.
