More on 2005 (but probably the Last of It)

[dotinthesky]

Ops! I actually did have some New Year's resolutions for 2005 (I wrote in a recent survery that "I never have NY resolutions").

Let's see how I did:

- Not watch any movies with the following actors: Angelina Jolie, Tom Hanks, Goody Goody Junior, Tom Hanks, Nicholas Cage, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
I failed miserably with this one: I watched one of the worst movies ever made at the end of the Summer, You've Got Mail, which had both Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in it. I know some people on my LJ who like these actors/movie, so I apologize for not being able to stomach them (yet I did watch the thing till the end... maybe I'm deceiving myself when I say I don't like them?)

- Not watch any movies where Tom Cruise plays a good guy or/and a heterosexual.
I didn't watch any of his movies, though it could be said that I failed again because I had at least two posts dedicated to him in this journal.

- Watch more obscure "foreign" movies.
Definetly failed this one. Foreign films came to me through BBC4, or DVDs borrowed/given by friends. But nothing stood out as obscure.

- Be more like Miss Jane Marple and solve tons of mysteries.
No crimes happened in my parish in 2005. I was able to dedicated myself more to the church, my knitting and indulge in harmless gossip with my neighbours.

- Swim loads.
No problems with this one.

- Eat less chips and crisps.
I cut down on my chips intake yet I was still buying crisps with my lunch everyday. Bad me.

- Get a job that makes me feel passionate, excited and/or happy.
Oh yes! Go Team Ollie!

- Cut down my Livejournal friends' list without feeling guilty and/or mean.
Like my gut, my LJ friends' list keeps expanding and there's nothing I can do about it.

Tom Hanks will always play a heterosexual, he's a freaky Scientologist moron who sues people when they make allegations about his sexuality. I happen to believe that he really is straight, but that he's also a moron, wanker, insipid son of a bitch, unintelligent imbecile, a vacuous, vacant drone and various other nasty things.

Whoops. Tom Cruise.

Tom Hanks is just boring.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Are you confusing Tom Hanks with Tom Cruise? :-P

[kixie.livejournal.com]

See below ;P

Tom Cruise infuriates me. The interview he gave on Oprah, denouncing Brooke Sheilds for taking antidepressants and then going on to say "I've read the history of psychiatry!" and various other blatant lies (I doubt he can read) was just ennervating. Apparently he seems to think that Xemu or Xenu or whoever will help people deal with amine imbalances in the brain, not medications created to do, uh, just that.

He's a Mimbo Jock who was brainwashed by opportunistic Scientologists. They wanted to enlist celebs in the 80s and he fell in their trap. I doubt he spends much time reading; to do so would be to constantly challenge his faith.

[kixie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, him, Kirstie Alley and John Travolta... Scientology is hilarious.

In Tom Cruise's case I'm not sure there was much of a brain to wash, though. I'm constantly baffled at how he manages to memorise his lines for his movies.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

If Bush can memorize lines, so can anybody else. If somebody offered you millions of dollars, a spacious trailer, rent boys and all the luxuries in the world, wouldn't you memorize them?
:-P

[kixie.livejournal.com]

Oh I'm sure he's willing, I just doubt his ability to, y'know, read and retain information. Bush doens't memorise lines! He flubs them and has 3x5s all the time. I remember the first few years of his presidency he had hte 3x5s with him constantly and people complained that surely the president should already KNOW the state of the nation and all that...

I figure Cruise has hired hands to help him.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I'm curious to see what's the next wacky thing Cruise will do. He's finally entertaining me after years of false promises.

[kixie.livejournal.com]

Well, he bought an ultrasound machine so he can look at his baby in Katie's belly whenever he likes...I hope to god it's not one of those internal ones that they're using nowadays (they give a better view).

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Maybe the baby is a clone of his?

[kixie.livejournal.com]

Quite possibly. We'll know as it grows a bit more; by the 7th month, if it is indeed a clone, we shall probably be able to see a clear outline of its nose....!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Do we know the kids name already? My money is on Xengonius.

[kixie.livejournal.com]

I thought Scientologists weren't allowed to use or say the name Xenu or whatever? Name it Raspberry, it can grow up and marry Apple. Throw in a Blackberry and you'll have a nice pie.

omg you are fantastically catty!

[kixie.livejournal.com]

Meow?

And you have the BEST username EVER. :)

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

haha thanks! I've been practicing SPanish just as I do things around the city and that's my favorite tea. or, it was before I discovered genmaicha.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

or a fruitcake...

[kixie.livejournal.com]

It's like breeding desserts! You have a bunch of fruitcakes who procreate and make pies...maybe we'll have cakes in the next generation? Then puddings, then jello, then boiled sweets...and then all our pancreases will instantly fail from the saccharine sweetness of it all.

nah...

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

fruitcake has candied cherry, pineapple, and the like. nuts. rum.

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

Don't forget Jenna Elfman. *guffaws*
