I’ve seen a lot of look-a-likeys around Cape Town of late. It’s really quite bizarre/bazaar (I’m never sure which one).
Here are the twin celebrities I’ve run into so far:
1. First person was Kristen Bell – That chick from Veronica Mars and Heroes. Baino has an absurd crush on her. I saw her while stuck in traffic. It was uncanny.
2. The Robert Pattinson look-a-likey. OK, my theory: this dude kind of looks like him, so when Twilight became, you know… mental, girls started paying more attention to him. He caught on, and began to wear his hair like Robert, same style of clothes etc, so he could also find his own Kristen Stewart look-a-like.
3. Katie Holmes chick – This one was insane. I was in the Spar waiting by the salad bar when I turned around and there she was, staring at the menu board. This was insanely alike. She literally is her twin. I must have turned around about 6 times, to the point where she felt uncomfortable. Whatever.
4. Michael K Williams – This guy places Omar in The Wire. However, I’m willing to admit; although they looked similar I think I wanted to see it more than anything else….*sniff*….if only.
Anyways, if you’re still reading this codswollop….. here’s a link for you:
Anyone else notice that all three members of the Sugarbabes are entirely different to the original three girls which started the group in the beginning?
Anyone else care?
Anyone else cannot believe it is already December and so nearly Christmas?
A hot actor that has been in such classics like the Spiderman trilogy and Milk… I mean I haven’t seen Milk… yet but it won an Oscar so it has to be good, huh?
He’s also got some seriously funny sketches on FunnyorDie.com – I think I’ve had some them on the tank before. Definitely worth a look.
But I suppose the real reason, is that he goes to school with FirstChild and even though they’re not necessarily “friends,” it’s probably the closest I’ll get to having a chance right? You know, if he was reeeally drunk, and had just broken up with his girlfriend and was feeling lonely and pathetic and no one else was around… I could have a shot.
I just finished the last episode of the last season of The Wire. A masterpiece. With no doubt, it’s the best drama series I have watched, in my life… ever. Possibly even the best series ever.
Now the question is… how can I save enough money, to pay the networks to make another season of the show… like 2 years after its finished? Hmmm, that’s a thinker. Suggestions are welcome.
In the meantime, here’s a montage (because everyone loves a montage!) of the best quotes said on…. The Wire! Drum roll please:
Obviously if you haven’t seen the whole thing… don’t watch it….
A client came in today at my work and I noticed that he laughs for way too long at his own jokes. We’ll be in a discussion, he’ll make a not-at-all funny joke and then crack up laughing… and laughing… and continue to laugh some more.
I give the obligatory chuckle to the crapness of the joke but sorry, that’s all I can do. And yet he carries on laughing, until it’s just him and silence. Why hasn’t he realised he’s an over-laugher?
The work colleague next to me, went through the same thing. They started talking, laughing began and my work colleague just stared at him. We both gave each other a “what the feck” look while waiting for the client to finish his hysterics.
You don’t want to be that person but we all have been at some point in our awkward, less than perfect lives…
You know,
- That A-Hole who forgets to turn off their cell phone and it rings during a groom’s wedding speech.
- Having a tickle in your throat and beginning to cough during a small, intimate theatre production.
- Crying during a movie, in the cinema on your first date.
- Being the nose sniffer during a crucial final exam. You can feel the people around you, staring, sighing, wishing an asteroid would land on your face.
- Falling asleep during a work meeting. Not necessarily “full on” sleeping but your eyes are opening and closing at an abnormally slow pace.
- Tripping as you walk into a house party… or a club.
- Talking exceptionally loud at a party because the music is blasting but then it suddenly turns off. You’re still talking at that volume. Here, it never really matters what you’re actually saying, it’s always embarrassing. But usually whatever you are saying… is embarrassing.
- Eating something and it’s so hot you have to spit it out. Only to look around and realise you’re in company.
I suppose we can take comfort to know that we’re not alone. It happens to everybody… unless it doesn’t and it’s just me! Oh no! Oh no! Don’t say it to be true!
I really wanted to do a musician… um, for my GIWKOB post… and thought; “Hey, this will be easy…” but when I started searching it turned out: Uh, it wasn’t so easy.
The thing is, most musicians look as sexy as hell when they’re up on stage, singing, jamming, playing guitar with sweat dripping off them… in that hot, “I really want you” kind of way.
But when you’re looking for a photograph of them… it turns out, a lot of them aren’t the sex symbols you see when you’re at the concert…. a couple 100 metres away.
Shallow? Yes. Fickle? Of course. But this is a competition and all I have is a picture to work with.
Anyway, not wanting to deviate from my “theme” I suddenly remembered: Gavin Rossdale. This British hottie, married to Gwen Stefani and the front man for the band Bush, is a very good pick. Not only is he “rock ‘n roll” and super, rad cool; but he seems like a great husband and father. Everything a girl looks for. Also, he’s not one of those “metrosexuals…” – how would I know you ask? I don’t.
I'm just sitting here, shirtless, biting my nail in deep, concentrated thought
