Love bade me welcome

Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lack'd anything.

"A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here";
Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand and smiling did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I?"

"Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat."
So I did sit and eat.





 -- George Herbert

I watch the numbers register on the postal scale
I think of your hands and calculate
How a man, desired, feels the weight of a letter

It's true what they say about me
That i'm out of my mind but i think that you like it
So take the chance,
Be reckless with me

'cause i'm real life
And you're real life
And we're real life
We're real life

Is it pleasing?
Six hundred thousand miles and all this solitude?
I know what is pleasing-
What i'll find beneath your new pair of glasses

I've never included a name in a song
But i'm changing my ways for you,
Jonathan
I need you to know,
I need you to know
That i'm real life

The Ides of December.

Marion Cotillard and Kate Winslet....together??? Two of the most divine actresses on the face of the earth, face to face? This kind of fabulousness just doesn't happen every day. Must be some kind of planetary conjunction. Play the lotto, it's the ides of December. it really is some kind of lucky day today, just found out, one of my friends just got into Yale, early decision...thank you Fairy Godmother, this is for you....

i've noticed a few Rob dreams posted about the internet, they are fascinating.

only celebrity i've ever dreamed of is ange and brad, and ange alone, as an adolescent. in south africa. and i wondered why i wasn't having any dreams about Rob since I seem to be a little obsessed.

so, last night, first Rob dream. it was actually about his dad. who was talking, and had owl'y eyes, darkly rimmed, and his nose and mouth. very masculine, character face. handsome. through the eyes nose and mouth, you could see the lineage. he was in a pub, talking. dream was a camera shot of him. can't remember exactly what he was saying, but it was about Rob, and, now, thinking about it, the dream was showing his own ambition. (not that he is a stage dad, he is not...he isn't ambitiously driving his son) but the dream displayed his lineage charisma and chi. .

i am happy for catherine hardwicke now. she can be done with the whole thing and move on. twimess is exhausting and all consuming. i mean, who has a life now anyway, with the whole world economy going into breakdown. enter twilight, to distract the hell out of us. go Rob.

this man.

they are both so adorable. this must be really hard for them.

my filmmaker friend dan , non twilight initiate, had some very interesting responses to twilight.

he said it was shot like a silent film.

more vampiric questions. and then some

in which the press feeds off of fresh flesh.

Did you read the books before signing onto the movie.

no. just the script. that was bad enough.

Tell us about your audition.

i was depressed. been too drunk in london. a little scared and empty feeling. very low on cash. didn't want to do a teen movie. but catherine worked it. so i showed up. on my own airfare. depressed. kristen locked eyes, i was shocked. and that was it. the start.

tell us about the chemistry between you and kristen stewart.

well we really wanted to fuck each other but catherine only gave me the part if i promised not to break up her and that little kid she goes out with. and kristen is super competitive and frankly, pretty smart, doesn't want to loose the edge. and even if we did fuck it wouldn't last very long, so since we both understand that, frankly, the chemistry between is very very strained. in new moon, my favorite book, i am hardly in it... in fact, that is one of the reasons i love it... (the studio is also very happy every time i say new moon is my favorite, because they are concerned that new moon wont make money if edward is hardly in it.)

how could i not love any movie defined by my absence. this seems to be the most honest and truthful moment in the books, edward's rejection and absence from bella. it may be one of the arts of the entire saga, that absence is the ticket seller.

twi movie notes

a few notes, moments, scribbled in the dark, last viewing of twilight.

jacob to bella: 'we used to make mudpies together' was this from the book? or from fanfics? the books and the twifics have merged completely in my mind. in fact, the entire twilight experience is a phenomenon because of the need for fans to rewrite (brilliantly so) the material.

(will i ever stop dying over 'growing up cullen'?)

the owl in the chem lab. no problem for me, it's a reference to harry potter, no? others say it's edward's angel wings, it mostly struck me as an homage.

the catsup bottle: in the diner, immediately after encountering cullen, bella uses one of the catsup bottles....there is no visable squirt of red catsup coming out. ??? o.k., we are thinking, blood, vampire, but why does it look like there is no catsup in the bottle? and the catsup bottle comes back later too. don't get it.

oh god, that smile, fey and different ....when edward learns telepathically that bella does not want to go to prom with mike. (after the greenhouse). that smile Rob gives the vampire kills me. i enjoyed all of his telepathic moments in twilight. looks to carlisle, asides to students....i know he is just learning to act but it looks like rob is one of the few actors who works from the imagination. this kills me when an actor works this way. it's. the. best.

oh, yes, i do not think the greenhouse scene works, at all. why did the writer do that???? although eric with the worm is great. if anyone knows, please offer, why this greenhouse outing takes place. isn't it dangerous exposure for the cullens?

charlie giving bella the pepper spray.

nikki's thighs in those white baseball duds. sigh. and in the garage scene. her thighs alone should convince any one with eyes why she is the most gorgeous woman in the world.

bad vamp bare feet. victoria's foot print is huge...? did anyone else think 'frodo'?

kristen's acting in the scene where she leaves charlie. i could watch work like that all night long.

alice drawing the ballet studio. hilarious ...omg....and wonderful all at the same time, room for fanfic links there. the camera must have loved shooting that, c'mon, they must have died.

why no one can replace her.
