potpourri

I don't know if I like this new background...seems a bit too chirpy for me.

Dug up this awesome quote from a year ago: "You get a little moody sometimes but I think that’s because you like to read. People that like to read are always a little fucked up." I'm almost positive it's the other way around.

After reading a review for Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, I decided to list all of the actors whom I admire for their acting prowess, not to be confused with actors whose looks I admire:

- Mads Mikkelsen (After the Wedding, Open Hearts)
- Robert Downey Jr. (Almost everything)
- James McAvoy (Atonement)
- Johnny Depp (Everything, just everything)
- Daniel Craig (Layer Cake, Casino Royale)
- Clive Owen (Closer, Children of Men, Gosford Park)
- Tony Leung (Lust, Caution)
- David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck)
- Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone)
- Javier Bardem (The non-English movies)
- Christian Bale (American Psycho, Rescue Dawn)
- Mark Wahlberg and Matt Dillon

Oh no...I'm drifting into that gray category between good actors and personable/hot actors. I'll stop now before I give myself a headache.
