okay. i case you think that i picked my current theme of dumb blonde being dumb out of thin air, let me convince you with this (which i've probably aready told you before):

when asked what his favourite writers were, he answered dr seuss and roald dahl. oh come on. he must have stopped being intellectually fed since the age of 8.

david boreanaz is the most inarticulate man alive. when asked questions, he replies with a statement, which kinda answers it, but is not worded to answer the question:

presenter: "you're very humble."

db: "i have great parents. my dad's my best friend, you know"

i mean, you an interpret that as him being close to his parents and them teaching him to be humble , but if you just listen to the sentence, it sounds like a random comment.

also, he has set answers. lets take that parent answer. he's told interviewers that a thousand times. any question posed about him personally is answered with some sort of variation of the non-realated-to-the-question, random, parent comment above. eg, he was asked of what he thought about him being considered as a sex symbol, and he answered with sth like:

"haha, i dont consider myself as one, but my parents made me, you know? i have great parents, i'm best friends with my dad."

that sunday times journalist i was talking about quite long ago is a clever man. kudos to Stephen Armstrong, who subtly noted the fact that db's not that bright. at the time of reading, i was too obsessed to see, and was quite confused by it. my mother saw it immediately:

"what he's saying is that the object of your obsession is thick."

the article basically says that he's not directly answering the questions because he is either putting on a fascade or he is genuinely stupid. but look at this. the caption reads: "whedon (creator of buffy) cast boreanaz for 'buffy' because 'after his screen test all the women were shaking'". me at that time thought: 'okay, some view him as an attractive man.' now, i think: 'okay, he's viewed as JUST an attractive man.' next is quite funny. db compares acting with jazz in which the point kinda gets a bit out of course. so mr columnist implies that he's not that sane: "afterall, this guy fights demons for a living." obviously he cant base the whole article on the dimness of david boreanaz, so he goes on to say what a good writer joss whedon is and db's life etc.

now i think about it, several jokes in the show mock his stupidity; that evil doctor in 'angel' said that he was a 'promiscuous LA pretty boy'. these inside jokes aren't completely untrue. the writers of angel have made jokes about him aging and his fatness: this randomo asked angel if he was sired during his late-thirties. cordelia calls him fred's 'big fat hero' to which angel takes seriously: "you think i'm fat?" "i'm not fat".

wow. i might hate him, but he has not stopped being the object of my obsession. that big fat essay was provoked by friday midnight/saturday morning television. i was flicking around channels at around 1am not particularly waiting for anything (my watching of that buffy rerun was unintentional) with the sound off, as you do, when i caught sight of that familar 'q-tip' hair, or 'the triangular formation' as i put it. turns out 'LA pool party' has this little interview thing w/ my ex-obsessee. so i started to record it. and i'm not gonna transcript it unless i'm really bored cos it's full of your usual 'great parents', 'best friends with my dad' answers. but, what i did see was his honey, jaime bergman, in moving 3D.

and yeah, pronounced jAy-me. and i've decided that i like her. weird, huh? well read this. with certain angles she looks like melinda messenger with realler hair and better taste. (she was wearing a black zip-up hoodie and black pants) and she's much prettier. sweet and stuff, prettier than your average soap star. they have these matching tatoos of chinese characters saying soul (ling) and fate (ming wun) on their wrists that touch when their holding hands. (*daaaaaaaw* wow, ticca, i'm using your word correctly!) i'd love to know how they're gonna hide them in 'angel' and whats gonna happen if they break up.

interesting fact number... whatever, lets say x: she's pregnant. gotta quote U A Fanthorpe here:

"the usual dubious desire to perpetuate what had better not have happened at all."

why oh why would db wanna make little copies of his dumb, fast aging, double chinned DNA? at least the mother's pretty. and that blonde hair. lets hope that it's peroxide bleached.

<< the object of my obsession. >>
