Who do you have a crush on this week?

[idgiehkt]

Actor/Singer/Athlete/Musician...

Post a pic if you can. This week for me it's Dan Donegan, guitar player for Disturbed.




Don't ask, because it's inexplicable, except to say I'm suffering from one of those real life crushes where you live or die by whether the person looks your way, and I'm trying to distract myself. I do think though, that if it's a man you're looking for, he looks like he could definitely get the job done...

14. Wendy Cope

And this is why:

From June to December
Summer Villanelle

You know exactly what to do—
Your kiss, your fingers on my thigh—
I think of little else but you.

It's bliss to have a lover who,
Touching one shoulder, makes me sigh—
You know exactly what to do.

You make me happy through and through,
The way the sun lights up the sky—
I think of little else but you.

I hardly sleep-an hour or two;
I can't eat much and this is why—
You know exactly what to do.

The movie in my mind is blue—
As June runs into warm July
I think of little else but you.

But is it love? And is it true?
Who cares? This much I can't deny:
You know exactly what to do;
I think of little else but you.

And it doesn't hurt that she's cute in a gamine way. :hi:

[idgiehkt]

15. stunning.

thanks so much for sharing that. I'll definitely check out her work. :hi:

[thefool_wa]

My second favorite hot, smart chick with a gun.

21. It will always be Viggo Mortensen

And the text from Back to Babylon from February 2003

Accept and forget difference or desire that separates and leaves us longing or repelled. Why briefly return to play in broken places, to mock the ground, to collect infant shards, coins, fossils, or the familiar empty canisters and casings that glint from poisoned roots in the blackened dust? We make bad ghosts, and are last to know or believe we too will fade, just as our acrid smoke and those strange flakes of skin and strands of hair will, into largely undocumented extinction. Lie down, lie down; sleep is the best thing for being awake. Do as we've always been told and done, no backward glances or second thoughts, leaving sad markers buried in the sand. Sleep now, dream of children with their heads still on, of grandmothers unburdening clotheslines at twilight, of full kettles slow-ticking over twig embers. Ignore boneless, nameless victims that venture out on bitter gravel to claim remains while we rest.

Pay at the window for re-heated, prejudiced incantations. Take them home and enjoy with wide-screen, half-digested, replayed previews of solemn national celebration. Then sleep, by all means; we'll need all the energy we can muster for compiling this generation's abridged anthology of official war stories, highlights of heedless slaughter, to burnish our long and proud imperial tradition. At some point, by virtue of accidentally seeing and listening, we may find ourselves participating in our own rendering. Few of our prey will be left alive enough to water the sun with their modest, time-rubbed repetitions, to rephrase their particular, unifying laws. Our version of events has already made its money back in foreign distribution and pre-sales; all victory deadlines must be met.

It can get so quiet, with or without the dead watching our constant deployments. From our tilted promontory we may see one last woman scuffle away across cracked parchment of dry wash beneath us, muttering to herself—or is she singing at us?—as she rounds the sheared granite face and disappears into a grove of spindly, trembling tamarisk shadows lining the main road. We'll soon hear little other than our breathing, as shale cools and bats rise to feed, taking over from sated swallows. Night anywhere is home, darkness a cue for turning inward, quiet an invitation to review our expensive successes before morning extraction from the twin rivers of our common cradle.

(February 2003)

[idgiehkt]

22. YES!!!

He is brilliant!

love him, love him, love him...I think if I were ever in the same room with him and he touched me I'd probably pass out...

[thefool_wa]

23. Viggo Viggo Viggo

My wife has a thing for this guy too, I just don't see it.

He's funny looking, lanky, and always talks with this self-depricating stare at his feet or the desk in front of the interviewer. Mybe it's a LOTR thing, something about his huge sword....

[lizziegrace]

24. I was hooked before LOTR

:)

I've read some of his poetry and writings. Back to Babylon is amazing. His photography is good too.

Tell your wife she has excellent taste. :)

[thefool_wa]

26. Whatever!

:P :P

:)

[lizziegrace]

31. ...

:P

[idgiehkt]

27. I have never seen LOTR

And I practically worship him...he's such an amazing character actor. I don't think I've even seen anything recent by him...he's just the most talented actor out there right now for me.

[pink-o]

62. Yummy!!!!

Those pix of him in bed make you wanna be the one to pull the covers off and serve him...and not breakfast, thank you!!!

I have a Viggo connection, 2 degrees of separation. He used to be with Exene, of the LA punk band X and we played on the same bill as them in 1981. Yeah, okay that's stretching it, but leave me my fantasy, okay...

Actually I've always had a crush on Russ Feingold. He's just adorable in that Yeshiva boy Sage Rabbi fashion, and he passes my first test by being progressive. And it would make my family soooo happy if I finally dated someone Jewish, so how could he say no, right?????

[idgiehkt]

66. wow.

I didn't know that Viggo used to date Exene. That's a trip. I guess I need to google her and see what she's up to. Wow, apparently they were married and have a son together.

this is a trip, a list of all his works:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viggo_Mortensen

all this came from Wikipedia and it says that some of the paintings in "A Perfect Murder" were his.What a renaissance man...

Apparently Exene is writing and doing visual art too:
In 2005, her journals and mixed media collages were exhibited in a one-person exhibition titled America the Beautiful at the Santa Monica Museum of Art. The exhibit was curated by Kristine McKenna and Michael Duncan. An expanded version of the exhibition traveled to DCKT Contemporary in New York in January, 2006. The exhibition featured a selection of journals from the collection of approximately 100 that Cervenka has completed over the past thirty plus years, as well as eighteen collages. Cervenka's journals combine rough drafts of songs and personal reflections rendered in a baroque calligraphic script with photographs, drawings and scraps of ephemera found while traveling as a musician. Similarly, the collages are created from found materials to form an interpretative composite portrait of the country she's come to know through her life experiences on the road. DCKT Contemporary continues to represent her artwork.

70. Miyelo and Linger are my favorites

The service at Perceval Press is good. Not as fast as Amazon, but reasonable.

[graywarrior]

25. ...sigh...

[idgiehkt]

28. lol

I saw your thread on this the other day, I can't remember his name though but I did watch the youtube vidoes, he's quite talented.

[graywarrior]

29. Lukas....

OMG

[Pacifist Patriot]

30. Steven Colbert

He is just so my type. But I wouldn't mind he and Jon Stewart fighting over me. :)

[idgiehkt]

34. or

they can share you...that's just my sick mind B-)

[Pacifist Patriot]

35. Um....

I don't have a problem with that. :)

[RetroLounge]

32. Here's a hint

RL

[idgiehkt]

33. hmmm....

2nd row, 3rd from left?

just a wild guess. I just closed my eyes and pointed...

[mvd]

37. I don't usually get weekly crushes

Most of them stay for a little while at least. And there are fixtures.

I guess the latest is singer Joanna:

[idgiehkt]

45. wow.

I am such a sucker for this combo, blue eyes and black hair...gets me every time.

[Deja Q]

38. The reasons why I left.

[TOhioLiberal]

39. This is mine:

*now there's a surprise...NOT!*

I do have a few DU crushes...:blush:

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

40. Jeon Ji Hyun

Having this week watched & fallen for her all over again in the fantastic Il Mare & the slightly disappointing Windstruck. I've had a thing for her though since I first saw My Sassy Girl though - (trailer) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZQCHWOM9bw

[driver8]

60. Wow!! I think she's my crush, too!

She is gorgeous.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

[tallahasseedem]

41. Pat Burrell

[idgiehkt]

[judaspriestess]

46. Clive Owen

[Broken_Hero]

48. Amy Lee

[buddhamama]

56. this Amy Lee

[idgiehkt]

57. ooh...I know who this is!

That girl from Evanescence...wow, she has the most haunting voice. I love her!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjUTrMwcLFw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZjf9C6atT4

[Broken_Hero]

64. yes, her voice is amazing

she is my number 2 fave female singer, she is only behind Sarah Mclachlan...I first heard Evanescene in the Daredevil movie, the My Immortal song was playing during Electra's fathers funeral, and while I was watching that part I was like...wtf? Who in the world is singing this song, I must have this soundtrack! Bought the soundtrack, and after listening to it a couple times I immediately bought Fallen by Evanescene....great group...:)

[idgiehkt]

65. I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen Daredevil

Even though I'm a huge Jennifer Garner fan. One day it'll be on the tube for free, lol.

That "Bring Me To Life" video is excruciating to watch...I've watched it twice, the first time I turned it off when she fell and then the second time I watched it and remembered how it ended, it gives me goosebumbs though.

[Broken_Hero]

63. yes, that Amy Lee

:) Hard to believe she is from Arkansas :) Thanks for the picture...:hi:

[Fox Mulder]

72. I love that voice of hers.

She kind of puts me under a spell whenever I hear it...

[reyd reid reed]

50. I'd tell you but then I'd have to...

well...

and NO! Not that. Sheesh...what kinda girl do you think I am, anyway? Naughty or something?



*ahem*

Actually, I've got a couple of 'em.

:loveya:

:blush:

[ForrestGump]

51. It's okay...

you can name me.

:D

[reyd reid reed]

69. But....but...

if I did that, then everyone would know and, well, you know...

Or maybe you don't.

:evilgrin:

[Omphaloskepsis]

52. I saw this nerdy girl on the bus. She was stunning.

Lovely.By the time I worked up the nerve to talk to her she had exited........... Cute girl on the Greeley (1) I would love to have a word with you. sigh.

[driver8]

59. I love nerdy girls.

Was she wearing glasses? I love when girls wear glasses...

One of my crushes:

[buddhamama]

55. this week

and every week...

[idgiehkt]

58. in "The Perfect Murder"

this is my favorite role of his ever...there's just something about a scraggly looking career criminal that sets my heart aflutter...

[Pool Hall Ace]

67. Any of the guys on House, particularly Hugh Laurie

I wish I had known about this show sooner, because I'm concerned about it jumping the shark at any moment.

[last_texas_dem]

71. Katharine McPhee

Mostly inspired by this thread...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5576480

What's funny is, I've never watched an episode of "American Idol"! But I'd still really like to see her in that Wonder Woman costume...
