would I fall to your feet
overcome and incomplete
swept of my senses
stripped of my defenses
would I stand too far
untouched in my heart
unwilling to speak
inside so weak
would I take that leap
with the price so steep
barren of my dreams
gliding swift in a stream

Somersault
Erik Thomson as Richard in Somersault
We rented Somersault for the evening and the hubby actually suggested we watch it. What, an indie-ish film set in Australia? Al-righty then! 😉
Anyhoo, Heidi is a sixteen year old who makes a pass at her mother’s boyfriend and runs away from home afterward. She comes upon this small Australian ski town, meets a guy named Joe, and somehow makes a living during her time there. Erik plays Richard, Joe’s neighbor. He had a few scenes, mostly with Joe.
Erik won the award for best actor in a supporting role from the Australian Film Institute in 2004. Actually, the film swept at the AFI 2004.
As I said, not usual cup ‘o tea, but a good flick.
And yes, I did screencaps. 😉
and here I thought I was spoiled!
| You Are 8% Spoiled |
 You are definitely not spoiled. You’ve worked hard for what you have. Down to earth and grounded, you don’t need a lot to make you happy. |
Based on those questions, I’m definitely not spoiled. But those who know me and know of my collection might beg to differ. 😉
| Your Celebrity Baby Name Is… |
 |
Cool. 🙂
| Your Sexy Brazilian Name is: |
 |
Groovy.
| Your Lust Quotient: 45% |
 You are definitely a lustful person, but you do a good job of hiding it. Your friends would be surprised to know that you’re secretly very wild! |
Hmmm, true?
| You Are a Natural Flirt |
 Believe it or not, you’re a really effective flirt. And you’re so good, you hardly notice that you’re flirting. Your attitude and confidence make you a natural flirt. And the fact that you don’t know it is just that more attractive! |
I might have taken that one before. LOL!
| Your 1996 Theme Song Is: 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins |
 Shakedown 1979 Cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet |
Ummm, okay. 🙂
| You Are As Cool As They Come |
 Rational and relaxed, no one could accuse you of being dramatic. You roll with the punches, and nothing ever gets you too worked up. You are able to maintain perspective and see the big picture. And even if you’re emotional inside, you don’t let it show. |
🙂
| You Are 60% Lady |
 You’re part lady, part modern woman. Etiquette is important to you, but you brush aside rules that are outdated or silly. |
True enough.

Ohhhh, congrats to Ryan Gosling (I know, like he reads this) on his SAG Award nomination. WOW! And there’s buzz that he could be nominated for an Oscar. WOWSERS!!!

I’m waiting for the day I can say, “And yes, I met him back when–” LOL! And here’s photographic proof. Huzzah!
Not sure why, but I’m thinking about next week’s Xena convention. I wish I were going. Actually, I wish that Erik Thomson was going so that I could go because it would mean a margarita for me. 🙂 And I could meet Patrick Fabian and perhaps take a picture with some fellow Xenites I know online (most notably Miss
I heard a jazzy lounge version of “Black Hole Sun.” So once home I downloaded Paul Anka’s version of the song. Let’s say it together– WEIRD-OH!
Time for bed. I’m sleepy.
sweet end of week
It was a short week and I still feel so drained! And I meant to take a nap when we got home today, but alas, I didn’t. Ah well.
Got the replacement battery for my PowerBook. Groovy!
