good morning. (how's that for variety? it's not even morning. it just feels like it. and in 4 days time, i'll have to get up before 7. bloody. hell.)
currently watching the 45s live DVD. i have a feeling matt hales was in my dream. i think i remember seeing his glasses, but i know i wasn't watching videos cos the dream-spectacles had metallic bits. it's all very vague but very pretty. i'd quote romeo and juliet and go on about him being the sun and not having seen true beauty till this night and tinkling celestial spheres, but i know more about Elizabethan beliefs about space and planets than about the play itself.
i do remember juliet telling him not to swear by the moon. and probably not by the sun, either. idiots. they really are, you know. i wouldn't go round killing people and myself just because i'm in love. i wouldn't marry someone i'd met hours ago. i wouldn't even fall in love at first sight. ok, i might, but i wouldn't realise until at least a month later. i'm slow like that. i need to go shopping and stand in front of a fountain
anyway, as i was saying: aye, there's the rub. (isn't it great, randomly, inaccurately quoting Shakespeare?) not so random because the rub is that i've never been in love so i wouldn't know. what they did was still infinitely stupid. othello is also an idiot. of course, i might not think so if i had actually bothered to read the plays, but then again i might. people are stupid.
the internet is down, by the way, hence the pointless rambling. will shakey. hehe. i want to compile a list of things that make me happy. no doubt it'll contain the brothers hales, but i want it to be one of those appreciating-the-simple-things-in-life things. i just need to think of some. maybe i'll do one of those "you know you're obsessed when..." lists. i've got lots of experience in that. my last attempt, "you know you're obsessed with bloomwood when�" was quite successful.
in my last conversation with denni, she said that there will be a whole generation of orlandos in several years time. she's probably right. how many orlandos do you know now? there's a list of common names for each era online somewhere. i think it's to help fanfic writers decide on names. so you don't call a victorian cody. in several decades, orlando will be under the section for common names in the 2020's.
denni obviously thought about the above after deciding to name her son orlando. after naming the other two nick and david first, of course. if i ever meet nicholas tse, i'd call him nicky. he deserves it. poser. nicky is a nice name. there's a whole series of fic where nicky is the son of clex. lois lane was the surrogate mother.
i saw a velvet jacket on la redoute.com that i would quite like to own. I'm reminded of this by the fact that matt hales is wearing a velvet suit. and also by the memory of that article in a fashion magazine with orlando bloom which was called "are you man enough for velvet?" when was orlando bloom the poster child for manliness? so the answer to the question: "are you man enough for velvet?" has to be yes, if orlando (sorry, denni) orli bloom is.
internet's on. been on for a while. i didn't hear cos i was too busy listening to matt le hales.
oh look what i found:
It is the eastern light and Juliet is the sun. Rise up, beautiful sun, and make the jealous moon invisible.
O, swear not by the moon, th' inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circled orb, lest thy love prove likewise variable ... Do not swear at all; or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self, which is the god of my idolatry, and I'll believe thee.
<< god of my idolatry. i like that. >>
