I have spawn.
Oi, not literally! I mean, I have this thing for collecting stuffed toys and generally let them mess around on my computer desk, especially if I have a deadline.
At last count I had Russell Crowe the Teddy Bear, Bunnikin Skywalker (a rabbit, obviously), Clark the Dog, AJ the Polar Bear and now my latest spawn...
Harry. The Anne Geddes Beanie Baby.
You read right. I meant to call him a "Sev" (for obvious reasons) but he's way too happy to be a Sev. And he's got Dan Radcliffe-blue eyes (for some reason, Radcliffe's eyes seem blue, instead of green to me in the Harry movies).
So he's Harry. Haven't figured out where to find "Sev" yet but he'll turn up. All my spawn seem to do that.
My buddy, whom I affectionately refer to as "The Princess Brat,"
has given me a "Sense and Sensibility" DVD. Oh happyhappyhappy day! Now I can flip on over to the scene where Alan Rickman's reading that poem to Kate Winslet in THAT VOICE and just swoon. And generally turn into a puddle.
Speaking of THE VOICE - anyone out there ever heard Rickman read Shakespeare on that "When Love Speaks" CD? Ack. Swoon-worthy.
And as for swoon-worthy, I also found myself a DVD of "The Princess Bride." Which is happily taking up space along with my Princess Bride paperback.
I am Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
No, as a kid, I wasn't in it for the kissing scenes. Yet. I loved Inigo. And Dread Pirate Roberts. And wanted to spar and swing with a trusty blade just like them.
As a grown-up, yeah, I'm looking at the kissing scenes. Hey. I may be happily single at the moment but I AM an unabashed romantic.
True love never dies. Westley lives forever.
