Tengo varios dias sin escribir y ahora no voy a escribir, pero si a postear. :P~

Es una entrevista a Hugh Laurie que evidencia que el es el tipo mas cool del universo.


Why Hugh Laurie Is the Coolest Man On Earth (by Ray Richmond)

So about this time every year, I help put together a number of special issues of The Hollywood Reporter in advance of nominations for the Primetime Emmy Awards. We here at the trades call it Emmy Season (not to be confused with our four regular seasons in Southern California: Fire, Flood, Earthquake and Pilot). As such, I have an opportunity annually to talk shop with all sorts of TV series and made-for-TV movie producers and stars discussing the merits of their projects/of themselves for Emmy consideration.

The process can be a little bit awkward -- I mean, you know, asking people to essentially tell you, "Yeah, I deserve an award from my peers." Those who coat their answers in wit, irony and self-deprecation tend to come across best. It's why I so adore Hugh Laurie, who won a Golden Globe this year for his protrayal of Dr. Gregory House on the hit Fox medical drama "House". He's British, though you wouldn't know it from his impeccable American accent on the show. Better still, while the man is a brilliant performer, he never takes himself at all seriously, as I've found on the three occasions when we've spoken.

I was disappointed that Laurie hadn't the time to talk on the phone in advance of Emmy season this time but jumped at the chance to conduct an interview via e-mail. I sent questions through his publicist. The answers arrived a scant two hours later. I offer the exchange here in its entirety, eloquently demonstrating why Laurie is my favorite actor on this or any other planet.

1. "I'm a bit confused. How does "House" get an Emmy nomination for drama series...while you personally do not? You ARE House. To my mind, it was a bit like honoring the meal while ignoring the chef who cooked it. Did you feel this way, or did you not have the time and energy to become properly incensed?"
Hugh Laurie: "I'm greatly flattered by your analogy, but I'm not sure it's quite right. (Executive producer) David Shore is really the chef, (executive producer) Katie Jacobs is the Maitre D', and I am merely the waiter. 15% is considered normal."

2. "Did receiving an Emmy nomination for series notably energize the "House" staff? Is there now a swagger in everyone's stride?"
Laurie: "Swaggering is actually forbidden on the set. Something to do with insurance. But I think everyone was pleased and proud to be nominated. I hope so anyway. A lot of people work incredibly hard on the show and it's nice to be recognized for it."

3. "Where do you keep your Golden Globe trophy? Does it make an effective bookend? (And congratulations, by the way.)"
Laurie: "Forgive me for being pedantic here, but I actually now have two - so your bookend idea works even better. Particularly since they weigh more than any earthly substance could in that volume. Friends who try and pick them up assume that I've welded them to the shelf. They are now installed in my son's bedroom, which I have converted into a Hall of Fame. He sleeps in the garden."

4. "Has your work schedule lessened at all or is it as unfathomably insane as ever? How much longer can you conceivably keep up this exhaustive pace?"
Laurie: "It's as unfathomably insane as ever, made more so by the fatigue. I have seen camera operators fall asleep against the viewfinder during a take. If we were pilots, we wouldn't be allowed to fly. But we're not, so there's no sense getting all hyperbolic about it. I do worry about how long we can go on like this. I worry that tiredness will make us worse and people will lose interest. Or that someone will fall over, or crash their car driving home. That would be horrible."

5. "Will Dr. Gregory House ever be happy?"
Laurie: "I think it's unlikely. Perhaps that will be the last scene we ever do. House on the doorstep of a rose-covered cottage, his arm around Donna Reed, two moppets scampering at his feet, maybe a Labrador. The camera will pull back and back, a helicopter shot, House and Donna waving, getting smaller and smaller. Then House will pull out a shoulder launched missile.... there'll be a flash of light, getting bigger and bigger, filling the frame, then BLACKNESS.
"That's my pitch."

"The Gentleman on the Plane"

I just saw Hugh Laurie in a Friends episode, circa 1998.

Definitely gets better with age. :)


Plus, he did a little "House-ing" there... hehehe...

Musings of a bus rider

Hoy fui a cuchucientos sitios, asi que me monte en cuchucientos*2 autobuses.

Vi a un hombre con un baston, y me hizo pensar en House.

Me toco un conductor con complejo de azafata: aparte de anunciar las intersecciones clave (obligatorio aqui, por disposicion del American with Disabilities Act), el anunciaba algunos negocios que hay en cada una, y al llegar a la estacion nos exhorto a que miraramos en nuestros asientos para que no se nos quedara nada.

Por poco subo mi bandeja... jejeje.

Rehab

*
"It's like I checked into rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease"
["Rehab", Rihanna]
*
*
*
"Junkie". "Obsession". "Addicted". "'End-of-the-weekend-itis'".

All these terms are familiar now that I'm hooked on House.
*
But I mean... how could I not?
*
*

"They tried to make me go to rehab but i said 'no, no, no'."
["Rehab", Amy Winehouse]

Hmmm...

Turns out what I really want is a House... ;) YUM!!!


[Oh, c'mon... that was both witty AND cute)

"You have a parasite"


Dr. Gregory House: [clinic patient is unaware she is pregnant; House tells her she has a parasite] Don't worry. Many women learn to embrace this parasite. They name it, dress it up in tiny clothes, arrange playdates with other parasites.
Jill: Playdates?
Dr. Gregory House: [shows her the ultrasound] It has your eyes.

(From "House M.D.", episode "Maternity")


ROFL

Lastima que en IMDB no tenian el dialogo completo. Hehehe... :P

A platonic May-June romance (May 1981 - June 1959, that is)

I have developed a gargantuan crush on Hugh Laurie a.k.a. House en House, M.D.

He's a cynical SOB but he's funny, sarcastic and irreverent, and oh, those eyes. And he's even more adorable "in real life", because (a) he's very funny, (b) he has a British accent to die for, and (c) oh, those eyes!!!

[Hugh Laurie photograph by Justin Stephens]


Buscando una foto para poner aqui (por si alguien osa no saber quien es), encontre un articulo en Entertainment Weekly con este parrafo: "MUSTWORTHINESS ~ As the acerbic, permanently disgruntled, and emotionally/physically damaged Dr. Gregory House on the Fox medical drama House, the British actor is the thinking woman's sex symbol. Even the limp is hot."

Funny... and true... ; ) hehehe

El asunto con House es que la serie no me enloquece, pero el personaje me encanta. Eso de darle treinta tratamientos a una persona en lo que se averigua el expediente, como que no me cuadra; sin embargo, I love watching House making people go out of their minds. =)

Si nunca la han visto, denle una checadita un dia de estos.

Trivia

Cuando yo naci, ese majestuoso miercoles 6 de Mayo de 1981, la cancion "Morning Train (Nine To Five)" de Sheena Easton era la No. 1 segun Billboard. Despues de dos semanas en el primer lugar, fue destronada por "Bette Davis Eyes" de Kim Carnes , la cual duro nueve semanas coronando los listados.

Kim Carnes gano premios Grammy por Album del Anio y Cancion del Anio, y Sheena Easton se llevo el Grammy a Mejor Artista del Anio.

Si no lo sabias... ya lo sabes. =)

I've decided...

... after having witnessed House's quirkiness, Sloane's square jaw and piercing blue eyes, J.D.'s goofiness, Dr. Cox's sarcasm and McDreamy's hair, face and kindness...

... that I want to marry a doctor.

Hehe.

:P~

Tarde (Sin daños a terceros)

La serie "Sex and the city" dejo de filmarse en el año 2004 y es ahora, 4 años mas tarde, que I'm hooked.

I love it. I love Samantha's sassiness, Miranda's cynicism, Charlotte's naïveté and, lo que mas, Carrie's all-over coolness. Le comentaba a Arlene que yo compraria los DVD's de esa serie nada mas para ver la ropa maravillosa que ella usa.

Ah, y a Chris Noth (a quien vine a conocer en Law and Order: Criminal Intent)!!! Yummy!!!


These are my favorite quotes (de los pocos capitulos que he visto):

Samantha: You cannot BELIEVE the hot flashes! I can barely keep my clothes on!
Carrie: Really? What was your excuse before the chemo?

Charlotte: Is it safe to buy pot from strangers?
Miranda: They're not strangers, they're our new friends with pot.

Miranda: You haven't had a crush since Big.
Carrie: Big wasn't a crush. He was a crash.

(While in L.A.)
Lew: You want to go grab a drink?
Miranda: Yes please, the sight of all these white teeth is blinding.

Samantha: I'm a "trisexual". I'll try anything once.

Carrie: Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with.

Y mi super-favorita, que lei por ahi sin siquiera haber visto la serie:

Carrie: The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the 'you' you love, well, that's just fabulous.


Soooo true...

Pickel, you'll be missed


Yo tengo un problema y es que tengo una personalidad adictiva. No es de vicios ni nada así sino de programas de televisión.

Yo odio los reality shows - no me gusta ver gente que se pone de mojiganga. El único que me gustaba de verdad era The Apprentice porque no ponía a la gente a actuar como chimpancés sino que eran competencias chulas. (Nota: Que conste en acta que para esos tiempos empecé a dar clases en Berlitz y sólo pude ver la primera temporada, la de Omarosa. So... I don't know if they went downhill after that.)

Lo de la personalidad adictiva me lo auto-diagnostiqué porque, como dije, ODIO esos programas, pero desde que empecé a ver uno me quedo viéndolo. Por ejemplo, eso me pasó con America's Next Top Model y ahora me está pasando con Latin American Idol. El pobre American Idol es que nunca ha tenido vida conmigo...

Digo, tampoco es que me pongo en la tentación. Yo no me siento a ver Flavor of Love ni I love New York ni cosas así. ¡Dios me libre de quedar hooked con semejantes atrocidades!

Anyways... volviendo al tema de esta entrada... ¿Ustedes han visto America's Most Smartest Models? Lo dan en VH1 los miércoles a las 11pm y hace un par de semanas dieron un mini-maratón. Ahí fue que me agarró.

La premisa es la siguiente: Una modelo y un tipo muy inteligente* son los encargados de buscar una persona que sea buen modelo y a la vez inteligente y para esto se basan en los resultados que estos obtengan en las competencias, que son tanto cerebrales como... modelísticas? Como ellos mismos dicen en el website, buscan "la combinación perfecta de cerebro y belleza".

Obviamente, ya han eliminado a mucha gente - incluyendo a mi dilecto Daniel, un doctorando en Psicología con cabello fabuloso y más dientes de lo normal.

Hoy eliminaron a Pickel y (leer con voz fresa) oh, my God, yo lloré! En serio!!!

Él era (es) super nice y super smart y super sincero y super divertido y sufre de ADD - not to mention, cute as a button!

Me dio una tristeza... él era (es) amiguito de Brett, el otro super nice, super smart, super sincero, super divertido y super-duper cute.

Oh, well... life goes on...

¡Que Dios los bendiga!


A.

* A ese tipo, Ben Stein, yo lo veía en anuncios haciendo el papel de geniecillo y yo juraba que él era actor o aspirante. Pero no... es de verdad...

Yo quiero un noviecito...

... para cantar esta canción refiriéndome a él... :D

Jajajaja...

Yo digo que nada más me acuerdo que quiero un novio cuando se me daña el carro o cuando quiero ir a bailar... he aquí una tercera razón!!!

Jajajajajajajaja... [Obviamente, es relajando...]

Anyways... yo amo a
Miranda! y esta canción me encanta - y no sólo por la fabulosa letra sino también por la musiquita que me hace levantar los brazos y bailar.

Enjoy.





Enamorada (Miranda!)

Al momento de ser realista
nunca me consideré una especialista,
y sin embargo algo en mi cambió;
sé exactamente como sucedió.

Mi corazón palpitaba
cada vez que ese hombre se me acercaba,
y con el tiempo me empezó a gustar
debo decir que no me fue tan mal.

Coro:
Cómo de repente
todo se ha ordenado,
desde que ha llegado
mi vida cambió.
Ya no soy la misma que tú conociste entonces.
¡Ahora estoy mucho mejor!
Porque
me di cuenta que tuvo sentido
haber recorrido lo que recorrí,
si al final de cuentas él era mi recompensa...
<- I luv these lines
¡Qué suerte que nunca me fui!

Yo nunca fui muy afortunada,
mis anteriores novios no me cuidaban,
me maltrataban y me hacían llorar
y nadie me venía a consolar.
Ahora estoy como loca
pensando que voy a comerle la boca,
quiero besarlo hasta sentir dolor
y someterlo al más hermoso amor.

Coro:
Cómo de repente
todo se ha ordenado,
desde que ha llegado
mi vida cambió.
Ya no soy la misma que tú conociste entonces.
¡Ahora estoy mucho mejor!
Porque me di cuenta que tuvo sentido
haber recorrido lo que recorrí,
si al final de cuentas él era mi recompensa...
¡Qué suerte que nunca me fui!

¡Qué suerte que nunca me fui! (x3)
