i have a crush on vincent d’onofrio
Someone just emailed me with a “favorite actor” question. I’m a person who doesn’t have too many “favorites” mostly because I crave variety. But I do have to confess a hardcore crush on actor Vincent D’Onofrio.
Okay, so what if the guy is being nominated as a GQ “man of the year”? He’s not your typical GQ kind of guy. He’s been described as “a real character, not an actor pretending to be one.” I have a thing for quirky people and D’Onofrio is definitely quirky, not to mention brilliant and talented and tall and hunky and handsome. Oh, and he’s a Brooklyn boy, to boot.
So there you have it, I’ve confessed my crush. They say confession is good for the soul, so confess your own, c’mon, you want to, you know you do!

Amen to that, Hara.
Hey ladies! Just a quick check-in whilst the gorgeous man is asleep in bed upstairs. Must have worn him out
Don’t know if I mentioned this before but he totally knows who Vincent is and is a big fan of LOCI, although I haven’t asked him whether he agrees with my opinion of their similarity in looks! Anyway, we’ve been spending so much time together ’cause he leaves for Berlin on Saturday. I know he wants to keep seeing me and I would love to keep seeing him, but I’ve done the long-distance thing before and it’s SUCH a hassle. Given my tendency to paranoia anyway, long distance is especially bad for me. Oh, but he’s so sweet, sexy, funny and clever. Damnit! Promised myself this would just be a bit of fun, but it’s not exactly turning out that way (although it is lots of fun!). Anyway, sorry for having been absent for so long and then coming back only to whinge! Feel like I’m in good company with man quandiaries though- seems like we’ve all got some kinda problem. Hara- I’m terrible when it comes to ‘doing the right thing’- I’ll always do it but really want to kick myself when I miss out on great things. I understand your pain! Anyway, I’m going to go now, but just wanted to check in and catch up. Love to all of you! I’ll be back with a vengeance on Saturday night no doubt- trying not to be all heartbroken about it!
Manic, if there’s not a photo we are all going to be very disappointed. You have the ideal excuse – to remember him by!
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we all wish you the best, no matter how jealous we also are! (Too many exclamation marks). Really, what’s to stop you going to Berlin? If it’s there or London, mthe choice has to be where the man is.
God, you’ve been to bed with him. God! (That merits an exclamation mark).
Manic! How cool that you and the VDO guy have been “bumping uglies”!!! My hubby wants to know if you make him cock his head to the side while he’s doing you? And do discuss length and girth.
I’m with Val on this – if it means having to go to Berlin, or him traveling to London, what the heck?! I just wish you and he had hooked up long ago; my hubby says, “she could have been boinking him all along”. Photo please!!
Hope you are all having a good day off today. Just taking a break from the LOCI marathon to check in; it’s been on since 6 am. The ebay seller I got Naked Tango from emailed me to say my money order arrived and my tape is going out in tomorrow’s mail! Am stocking up on Kleenex, “for both ends” as Val put it.
Hi again! I was just on thereel and went to the April archives – great Halloween photo of Vincent and Elias (who is just adorable), then scroll down and there’s an unbelieveable candid of Vincent horsing around with his nephew Hawk. As I am usually a few beats behind everyone else, you guys may have already seen them last month, still, one never truly tires of looking at Vincent, does one?!?!
Naughty JoJo! Working on a photo- hoping for the weekend.
Hi everyone. My recording did not go well as planned. I will have to go to a recording studio to get it done right. The software I purchased sucks and I can’t return it, ’cause I opened it. Drat!!! I will not send Vincent a poor recording. That is not an option for me.
Hope you all had a great holiday weekend. I had lots of work to do and avoided watching any Vincent because just looking at photos of him turns me on to the point of total distraction. I can’t do any work. I’ve got several movies to watch. When I have a day off, I’ll watch these movies and and then… well I’ll have my boyfriend or perhaps another lined up to come over shorter thereafter, ’cause otherwise I’d go nuts!
Manic, glad to know you had fun with your “Vincent”. No matter what though, we women are so sensitive and get hooked so quickly that there is no doubt you will have a period of sadness in letting him go. Hey, I only messed around once and am feeling very anxious. He’s supposed to call me around noon for lunch. We’ll see how responsible he is. He called me on Sunday. We both really like each other and he said “No matter what happens, I want us to always be friends”. My heart throbbed heavily. Damn the good-looking, romantic, sexy, tall, intelligent married men out there!
Well back to my work and false hopes.
Val – on a non-Vincent related subject, on your blog, you mention “Rat Scabies’ dad”….are you talking about “the” Rat Scabies from The Damned? My curiosity is piqued! They were/are one of my fave punk bands from the UK. I was a total punk rocker in high school and I favoured UK punk/new wave. I still listen to it now. Good stuff, that.
Yes, JoJo, it was he. I met his dad and stepmum at the opera, and we became friends. There’s more of the story in the April archive on my blog, “Rat Scabies and the Holy Grail”. I can name-drop for England – famous opera singers, Rat Scabies’ dad, an ex-student who married her lecturer (a man who was at Oxford with Bill Clinton), a crossed line on the telephone which connected me with the former UK Prime Minister, Harold McMillan. My dad was a low-paid baker and my grandad a docker, I gre up in a poor docklands area of London, so it’s pure happenstance these things happened to me, not connexions.
Hara, sorry things haven’t yet gone right with your recording – bummer.
Manic – go, girl.
Val, thanks for the empathy. I need a lot of it right now. Now that my guy was not able to see me today due to work deadlines, I feel heartbroken. I think I am in love with this man. I feel like crying over something that I can’t have anyway. I’ve started a new song to release this pathetic, chidlike pain I am feeling right now:
MOUNTAIN OF HOPE
Copyright 2006 Hara Paper
I got a tiny taste of what I felt was mine for real
The sensation just made me long for more of that feel
Sometimes I try to hold on to what is beyond my reach
Then give myself a reminder that I should not proceed
For a few magical moments I was in a dream
Everything was perfect as if meant to be
Is this feeling gone forever as it now seems
If so, I will always keep it in my memory
It is true that I never felt like this before
I cherished every second and I want it to be more
My mind and I are struggling in a game of tug-of-war
Who will win this battle and be the first to score
I just want to squeeze myself of all the pain
Give in to the reality that there is nothing I can gain
When I wonder how to keep walking and how to cope
I look up at the skyline to the mountain of hope
Pretty darn depressing, wouldn’t you say. But it helps me deal with disappointments like this. I promised myself not to let my feelings get involved, but I just can’t seem to do that.
On a brighter note, I may have found the answer to my recording problem. It costs me another $200, but seems like it may lead me to be able to do what I wanted on the computer. Let us now bow our heads in prayer.
I found WWW at a used bookstore on DVD for $4. I’ll watch it as a treat tomorrow and put a thick towel between myself and the mattress, just in case…
Hara – good score on the WWW for $4. I’m sorry that things worked out the way they did w/ that DJ guy, but at least you didn’t sleep with him and have him blow you off. That’s the worst. What about your boyfriend? Are things going OK w/ him? Maybe it’s time to let him go as well if he’s not fulfilling your needs or making you happy. From things you’ve said about him, he really takes you for granted and is complacent to just let things stay the way they are. You know what they say, when you aren’t looking for a guy, the perfect one comes along. Besides, the DJ is willing to cheat on his wife; he already did by kissing you. Who knows what else he does! Guys like that are not worth it. Dollars to donuts he’d use you and hurt you even worse. I know it hurts now and I’m sorry that you are in pain, but your songwriting is a great outlet. You can do a lot of your own recording now via your computer. I have a friend who records all of his own stuff at home now. Enjoy your Vincent movies!! He’s the best boyfriend ever, just ask all of us!
Val – so what is Rat Scabies up to these days?
Hey guys! Long time no talk! I have been traveling this month. Went to Bluegrass Country with my babies to visit the in-laws and had a great time. My M-I-L is also a VDO fan, and we had lots of fun lusting over him during LOCI reruns. Kind of wierd, actually. Anyway, how have you all been? Has anyone seen The Break-Up yet? I like Anniston and Vaughn pretty well, but will have to see it for VDO.
I am so happy summer is here, but the TV selections for the next three months will be crap. Thank God for Bravo. Every time I think I have seen all the LOCI’s they show one I’ve missed. It doesn’t really matter, even reruns of VDO are worth watching! I was just on DNY and saw some new (to me ) pics, and I have to say, I would just love to lick his lips! They look so great to me! I bet he is the all-time best kisser of the universe. Whew…in the words of Granny Klump, I make my ownself hot just thingking about him.
BTW, did anyone notice if the star of David had appeared over southern Africa this weekend?
JoJo, thanks for your kind words. My current boyfriend is a super sweet guy. I am always weighing bad vs. good qualities and I come up with quite a few good qualities that I would not want to give up. He’s honest, trustworthy, somewhat humorous, intelligent, dependable and he does care about me. We share common interests. On the other end, he is lazy, his parents still support him at age 46 (I always wonder why they bitch at him to work and then just keep handing him money…hypocrisy), he doesn’t like change, he is a loner who likes to date women without any friends (I don’t have any close friends), he’s boring and he is gaining weight which I find unattractive (beer gut). He also will not go to doctors and is a heavy smoker.
I don’t want to lose the good qualities in him. Most guys I have dated have been complete jerks and users and have hurt me deeply. My boyfriend has not hurt me intentionally, but he is the most unromantic guy. He really doesn’t know how to be romantic. We’ve been together for 3+ years and he has never surprised me with anything fun or new. He doesn’t do birthday cards and his gifts (rarely given) are totally impersonal.
It is a really tough decision for me. I am not out there looking for men. My boyfriend is what I have right now and I do enjoy his company. So I have held on. I have not been approached by any other men except the DJ. After our little fling, it occurred to me how much I desired this type of loving and romance. But I have never found it before and I may never find it, so until something real comes along, I still want some companionship.
Hey, if I ever get to kiss Vincent, that will resolve my romance problems for life!
It’s really hard to break away from an inadequate relationship, for want of support from elsewhere. I put up with it for 12 years, then he moved away and lived with someone else. He was impossible to live with, impossible to live without. I don’t want him and I don’t want anyone else. I’m self-sufficient and all I need for romantic fulfilment is a good fantasy. Currently (and for the foreseeable future, as he’s all I could wish)that’s Vincent. He’ll never let me down or hurt my feelings because I’ll never meet him, and that’s as real a romance as I want. (Actually, if I were as lovely as I was before I hit 40, I’d love to meet him and try my charms on him, but I’m not).I’ve got more friends than I’ve ever had, because I don’t neglect them any more, and doing the family tree has expanded my family links ten times over.
Whew! JoJo, the only thing I currently know about Rat is he’s involved in his dad’s grail group, The Sauniere Society, named after the priest at Rennes-Le-Chateau who started all the fuss in the 19th century. I believe he’s in business of some kind. He looks just like I remember his dad, who I haven’t spoken to since the day after he abandoned me for 2 hours at Rennes-Les-Bains to go and pursue his fortune at Rennes-Le-Chateau. Which, I’m glad to say, he didn’t find.
Back to the lovely Vincent. Eliza has posted a rear view of Carl from The Cell and wonders if it is Vincent’s body double, as the behind looks wrong. I’ve posted a few others as well as the one from The Cell for the purpose of comparison. All opinions welcome.
Val, What a great way to wake up! Vincent’s ass and that wonderful chest shot, whew….
I think it is Vincent in the rear. What does he have to hide? He’s shown just about everything he’s got in many of his movies and it looks like he has a nice ass in Guy, so who else could it be. He has no problem kissing and he has that beautiful wide back and arms. I just don’t think it is a double. For what purpose?
Apparently there was a body double because despite the body suit for flying him over his victims it was painful for our dedicated boy. He may just have been used to set up shots is one theory, and may not actually have been filmed. I bow to other people’s greater knowledge.
You sound more cheerful today. If you want to cheer yourself up even more go to elizasplace.blogspot.com for some lovely pictures of Bobby Goren at his best.
How is everybody else. You must all be having better weather than me, keeping you away from your computers!
Val, I am more cheerful today because I think that this new piece of recording equipment I purchased is going to work. It is wonderful! Can’t wait to get that song recorded and on its way. Also I have put music to “Mountain of Hope” and will play it tonight. Practicing it helps me feel better and the music is very different from other pieces I have written. It is not a depressing sound. It’s more progressive. Also, one of my songs “Spanish Influence” will be played on the radio tonight by the DJ.
Did anyone read the 6/1 post on dny by eliza? It’s titled “Wow”. I don’t understand what is going on. Can anyone fill me in? I really love her site and I enjoy going there to check out the VDO pics. But I don’t understand what her post refers to. Is she angry at other VDO fans for using photos she puts on dny?
Not sure, JoJo – the site is currently down. Just wanted to check in with you ladies and wish you all a great weekend. Haven’t done much Vincent watching lately – still have Steal this Movie to watch, then start on Series 1 of LOCI. Anyway, hope you’re all well, happy VDO watching!
JoJo, I think DNY is upset for two reasons. Firstly, she had some really bad troll infestations, saying nasty things. Then someone was using her personal photos in their own blogs. She doesn’t mind it with VDO photos (thank goodness or I would have no blog), but this person went to far. Someone she regarded as a friend then teamed up with the “perp” after apparently sympathising with her. I may have got this wrong, so don’t take it as gospel, but when you consider the favour she’s done us all with her great blog, it does seem unpleasant that people should do this kind of stuff to her. These cannot be real VDO fans like us, or they would be nicer to her.
Hara, I’m really glad your new programme is turning out to be good. Fingers crossed you can do all you need to get the song off to The Man.
Evening ladies,
I just watched WWW and cried my head off after it was over. What a heart-wrenching movie. Vincent was magnificent as always and gorgeous as well! He is soooooo special. I haven’t cried like that for a while. I don’t usually watch these type of movies for that reason. But watching Vincent act is such a treat!
This movie gave me the correct emotions to write a loving goodbye letter to my boyfriend. I just broke up with him on Friday. I could not lie to him about my little affair and talked to him on the phone about what was happening. He has not spoken to me since. It was so nice of you all to tell me your thoughts about the relationship and it made it easier to break it off than I thought it would be. When I spoke to my mother about what was going on (all of it!) she has not reacted as I would have thought. She admitted that she did not know why I had kept my lousy relationship so long and is being understanding as to what I am doing with the DJ. She doesn’t want me to get hurt, but understands my need for a little excitement in my life. I am amazed!
I’m still seeing the DJ and he is falling in love with me. I like him very much, but have to keep my head on straight. He is really hooked. It is a great compliment and feels great to me, but I am trying to just enjoy what we have as it happens and not think of the future. He told me last night that he has never felt as comfortable and free to express himself openly as he is with me, including his wife. He is just infatuated as hell. This has never happened to me. Even if this does not work out, which it probably will not, I am really enjoying my precious time with him. We are going to work on a project together where I do the graphics and web page design, while he provides that content. He is helping so many young musicians and the site will be a top 20 local college tracks list with the ability to listen to the songs on the list. He is doing this on his own time without pay. I really respect him! We will be friends no matter what happens. We are just “right” for each other.
I did get my song played on the radio. I have gotten some good response even though my classical guitar style just did not fit in with the rest of the college radio songs at all. Everything was punk, alternative pop and hip-hop. My song was the only instrumental played and stuck out like a sore thumb. Oh well. I am even going to be opening up for some local heavy metal acts. What a riot! It is Sunday morning at 3:37 am here and I’ve got to get working. Hope you all have a wonderful day.
Glad you enjoyed the movie, Hara. It really is moving, and Vincent is truly wonderful in it.
I hope you find what you are looking for with this guy.
Where is everybody else?
Val – thanks for cluing me in on the dny thing. I hope she doesn’t take her site down. So far, it’s still up.
I received Naked Tango yesterday but I didn’t have a chance to watch it yet. Work’s been to busy that I’m exhausted on the weekends and end up falling asleep on the couch. Hubby’s finally home from the month long trip to Oregon so hopefully life will get back to normal. Whatever normal is!
Hara – glad you got the courage to break it off w/ your boyfriend. Life’s too short to be in an unsatisfying relationship. Be careful w/ the DJ though…I wouldn’t want you to get hurt. As the Feargal Sharkey song says, “A good heart these days is hard to find, true love, the lasting kind….”
I guess Manic’s VDO lookalike left for Berlin yesterday. Hope she’s OK. I hope she posts a piccie on her blog soon.
I’ve been wondering the same thing, Val, where in the world is everyone?!
Sorry ladies, haven’t visited for a while – so many blogs/websites, so little time. Hope all are OK out there.
Val, all I’ll say about what happened over the weekend is that the one claiming to be the innocent victim in all this is far from it – and stepping into Eliza is unforgivable. There should be enough room for all to share their love and appreciation of Vincent, but some just get plain nasty when they feel that somehow their perceived place as number 1 V-site is being ‘threatened’. It’s been very ugly, 2 people closed their blogs down and Eliza almost did, through absolutely NO fault of her own. I’ll say no more on it other than life is too short for this shit and no one has dominian over Vincent but the man himself.
On a much happier note – (and personally I’m sick of this repeated inter-blog-site-war thing that some really enjoy re-starting every now and again) well done Hara with the song and so pleased you enjoyed WWW – if that’s the right word for it
It is the most wonderful movie.
Thanks for the update, Diane. I only know what others tell me, and didn’t even know what the fight was about, only had one person’s word. If Eliza’s been done to I’m really sorry. Like you I believe the more VDO sites the better. We should all be able to get on in our adoration of the dear man. The only thing I will add is that I don’t want to upset anyone, just enjoy my passion with like-minded ladies.
JoJo, I hope you’ve had the chance to watch Naked Tango by now. I know you won’t be disappointed.
I’ve been wondering about Manic. I hope she doesn’t get a broken heart, ditto Hara.
Thankfully Eliza is now back on track – with great pictures of our Vincent kissing (of course, I taught him everything he knows about kissing
– I wish)
Shame about the pictures on your blog Val! Hope you get the problem sorted soon.
Watched Steal This Movie tonight – next stop is watching all of Series 1 LOCI, none of which I’ve seen yet. Tried to join the Yahoo Vincent Gossip and Pictures Group and got rejected -I assume they feel they have enough members. So have joined Eliza’s Yahoo Catalogue of Characters group instead – I’m sure I’ll come across some of you ladies on there! Am off to Budapest for a short break until the weekend, so will catch up with you all next week. Happy Vincent watching x
Hello ladies! Thanks for all the kind thoughts. Re, my situation. He did indeed leave for Berlin on Sat, which was very sad, but I’m going to visit him from the 15th to the 20th and before he left he used the L-word and told me that he didn’t want to split up but to see where everything headed. All good by me! Only bad thing is World Cup annoyances in Berlin (although luckily he doesn’t have more than a passing interest in football- what a godsend!).
As for this stupid inter V-site wars. I do have to say that I like Eliza and her blog a whole lot and there are certain people out there who seem to take umbridge at anyone else with an interest in Vincent. It’s all silly and unnecessary considering all we’re trying to do is share an interest. Hooray for Molly’s!
I’m at work (stupidly early again!) so must sign off but just wanted to let you all know that my heart’s intact and that, with any luck, I’ll be able to post a picture of my boy when I get back from Berlin (not owning a camera makes picture taking kind of difficult- but I haven’t forgotten!). Hope you all have lovely days and I’ll speak again soon.
Hi gals. Manic, good luck with your man. No excuses for the photo. They have the disposable cameras everywhere. We gotta see this man! Also, best wishes for your heart.
I’m already heartbroken just because I don’t know where I stand with my guy. He has spoken up in his marriage counseling session that he doesn’t enjoy his wife’s companionship any longer. I am being more of a friend to him than a lover. He doesn’t know if he can part with his “vested” time with his wife (22 years). I told him he could continue with his marriage and be miserable or do what he felt was best for him and move on. I want him to make this decision as if I were not in the picture. After all, he has spent only about 15 hours with me total and I don’t feel I have the right to pressure him at all. We may just turn out to be just friends, which would be fine, although I would have to heal a little. Poor guy, he realizes that he has been pretending to be something that he is not for 22 years. Believe it or not, I am going to help him figure out who he is without any pressure to decide if he wants to be with me or not. I will feel better this way.
I may just end up being single for the rest of my life, which for the most part I am used to. It’s not that bad. You have your freedom and don’t have to worry about getting hurt. Love is one big pain in the ass!
I’ve got a copy of Naked Tango on its way. I bought it off Ebay for $20 in DVD format. I’m sure it’s a duped copy, but I want to see this movie. Vincent keeps me going and gives me hope. We all need something wonderful to dream about, and he’s the one! Looking forward to watching all of the other films I have ordered also.
These retarded people who think Vincent is all their’s… We all share him. Let’s see… I’ll take the mouth.
Hara – great score on Naked Tango off ebay!! I paid about $59 for my VHS copy. OK, if you have his mouth, then I get dibs on his schlong.
lol
I agree w/ you about the trolls and jerks who ruin it for other people. That’s why I love this site; really nice women who like to tease and gush, and we don’t take ourselves so seriously. I mean, it’s not like any of us is going to date him, except in our dreams, so why not just have a little fun! I will add comments’ to Val & Manic’s blogs, but I just read the others b/c too many people are touchy & possessive. I’ve tried to add to Eliza’s DNY but I have to open an account or something; it won’t just let me do a user name.
Manic – Glad to hear that things have blossomed with the VDO guy; and it’s WAY cool that you get to go to Berlin to see him next week. How long is the flight?
I hope that KV is having a great time in Budapest, and a safe trip. It must be so cool for you ladies living in the UK to be able to travel around Europe and such, since it’s so close by.
Val – your trip to Alberta is coming up fast, isn’t it! I was going to cancel my trip to Vancouver due to the high cost of gas, but hubby convinced me not to. He’s probably going to use my expenditures as leverage to get some high priced item that HE wants. hahaha
Well done Jo-Jo, I’m sure you’ll be dancing all night with Cholo – don’t we all wish
Welcome back Manic B – sounds like you’ve been having an adventure and I do hope it all turns out well for BOTH of you.
Val, I was in Alberta a few years ago. It’s stunningly beautiful so I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
Oddly enough, I’m fancying a trip to Australia…what was that, did someone mention Vincent was going soon??
Hara, dibs on his hands. Hope you help your man sort out what he wants/needs, I just hope it won’t hurt too badly if he makes a decision that’s wrong for you.
JoJo, get that film watched NOW – that’s an order! I just got Signs of Life today and watched it this evening. He’s so young and lovely. Happy/sad film. No romance for him, but happy-ish ending.
By the way, JoJo, there’s a familiar face in Naked Tango – Esai Morales, who’s the Lieutenant in NYPD Blue (which we’ve been without for several years, and have only just started getting the latest THREE series). He’s a slimey and unpleasant character in NT, but of course in NYPD he’s a very beautiful looking man. But short, and just not sexy, sadly for him. Still a bit of eye candy for us women.
Hey ladies, just a quick note, since I’m off to London (flat-hunting) today- which is a pain in the ass (the flat-hunting, not London!). Hara, take care of your heart- I hope it works out with the DJ guy, but be careful, it seems like he needs to sort out his relationship with his wife without having any excuses or confusions to help/hinder his way.
If Hara gets his mouth and JoJo gets his Schlong, I’ll take his torso- yum!
I know, I know- disposable cameras- he doesn’t like having his picture taken (man after my own heart) but since we’ll be in the holiday spirit in Berlin (I miss all football matches hooray!) then I should be able to catch him unawares. A friend’s giving me her old camera precisely for that purpose!
Right, really have to shower and get on that bus- can you believe that it takes more time to get from Oxford to London (about 2 hrs) than it does to get from London to Berlin (about 1 1/2 hours)- madness!
Morning to you,
I’ve decided that it’s best for me to just be a friend to this guy I like. I am already so heartbroken about it, because I only got a small taste of what “could” be, but my friends think I should not have anything but a friendship with him. I know they are right. Yesterday was one of the worst days I’ve had in forever. I cried all day. This morning, my eyes look like someone punched me in the face.
If he decides to divorce, then that’s another story, but that won’t happen overnight. I am just afraid that I’ll never meet anyone like him again or that I’ll be alone for the rest of my life.
I feel we can still be friends, just no kissing or other stuff. I don’t want to lose him completely. The possibilities will always nag at me. Maybe I’ll find another sweet romantic person like him. God, when I look him in the eyes today and tell him, it is going to hurt.
Hara – I think you made the right decision. He has too much baggage right now and if he really feels something for you, he will separate from his wife or divorce her. But he needs to make that decision on his own, as you said. Love hurts, that’s for sure. But it’s really true that when you aren’t looking for a relationship, it happens. Manic’s a good example; she swore off relationships and now she’s snagged herself a VDO look alike!! Who is already using the “L” word!! It’s best not to get involved w/ a married man though. Think of how crummy you’d feel on holidays when he’s w/ his wife and not you. Let us know how it went when you told him.
Manic – good luck w/ the apt. search in London, or I guess “flat” as you call it. I hope you can find a nice one that is reasonably priced. Years ago in high school I went on a school trip for one week to London & Paris, and we went to Oxford on the way to Stratford on Avon and it was a long ride. Have you read the “His Dark Materials” books? They are set in Oxford.
USA’s back to running season 1 of LOCI again. My hubby doesn’t want to sit through them yet again. Where is everyone these days? Old Lady? Bebe? MyGuy? Mrs. ROG?
Well, I had just almost finished with my paragraphs here, when they suddenly disappeared. I did break it off. We will still remain friends. He is considering beginning the process of separation. As a friend, I coached him about what he felt that he was hanging on to in his marriage. His big thing was the commitment he made to her as a spouse. However, it turns out that he thinks she is interested in another man and does not think they can repair their marriage. What gives?
Of course, I want this man to be mine, but I still ultimately want him to be happy. He was honest and said that he was not sure what he would feel like being single again. He wasn’t sure if he could commit himself again so soon.
So I asked him what he was looking for out there anyway? He has told me that he is physically attracted to me, that he is amazed at my intelligence and how well we get along, he dreams about me, thinks about me all the time… Hopefully, I have opened his eyes to the possibilities of happiness with me. If things don’t work out, then it was not meant to be, but I feel so much better now.
He really listened to me and hopefully will begin his separation process in the near future. I will concentrate on Vincent and my music again. He was distracting me from my true love.
On Tuesday depressed as hell, I watched “Salt On Out Skin”. It was the wrong movie to watch for sure. Gals, don’t watch this if you’re having a bad day. I thought I had cried all of my pain out before the movie. Boy, was I wrong.
Manic, good luck with that VDO of yours! JoJo thanks for your advice. Vincent will cheer me up. I think I’ll stick with LOCI for now. Well, except for Naked Tango, which has not yet arrived.
Careful Hara, Naked Tango isn’t a bundle of laughs either.
I am having real trouble with Blogger, it’s always down for maintenance when I try to post, even post a comment on other people’s blogs, let alone my own.
I’m currently on a jury with a case that will probably continue till Monday, which is a nightmare for one juror who fears she will lose so much money she will not be able to pay her mortgage this month. I will also be out of pocket. Where is the fairness in jurors subsidising the criminal justice system?
We’re also in full battle mode in my street to fight the proposed demolition of the 105-year-old end-of-terrace house opposite me to build a road so that they can build 9 houses on a wildlife site between the next five houses and the railway line. I’ve just received information from English Nature that it is designated a borough site of importnce for nature conservation. So houw can the borough council even consider the application.
I need a VDO fix, but I may have to wait for a while till I’ve emailed my objection letter to a fellow objecter and to the council with a covering note.
I have read everyone else’s posts, and you all have my good wishes, but now duty calls and I have to go.
Hey Val – I see they pay jurors over there a pittance, like they pay over here. I refuse to show up. I’ve never gotten a summons here in WA but if I do, it’s going in the garbage. I refuse to serve for 2 solid weeks. Fortunately I work for lawyers who would pay my full wages and I would give them the crappy $5 a day I get from the county. In CA, the sheriff would literally show up and haul you off if you didn’t show up, but at least down there, all you had to do was call the night before and if they said you didn’t have to show up the next day, that was it. But I will not do it.
Keep fighting the good fight over that wildlife preserve and to save the old house. These developers think they can run roughshod over people and we cannot tolerate it. Can you get the neighbors to sign a petition?
still here – been madness lately – plus I’ve been enjoying the summer weather! This is the first I have popped on in about a week – I’ll be back – must get ready for work now or I’ll surely be fired if I’m late again!
miss chatting – back soon!
JoJo, I’ve written a letter of objection which people are signing, plus we’re doing a petition as well. The whole street is up in arms about it. Others have sent letters too. We have three Green local councillors, two of whom are on planning committees, the third is helping us. The decision may take months, even years, and meanwhile the houses will be blighted and anyone who needs to move won’t be able to sell.
I just received Jugger, can’t wait to see Mr Hunky.
After my present trial is over, I’m allowed to discuss it (which is new over here) so I’ll fill you in on anything interesting.
Just thought I’d post this link to Elizabeth’s photos. Could that be a young, pudgy Vincent with out of control curly hair? http://donofrioe.com/family.htm
Just found this as well, called “fun with bobby” – it’s adorable!http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a283/charltoneliza/Videos/?action=view¤t=Sexy.flv
You ought to close this comment thread. It’s too *long*!
Just watched Naked Tango. Wow, it was so sensual!! Vincent was delcious as always; he sure can dance.
We told you it was worth the wait JoJo!
And Molly- could you please ignore the comment from VDO Vault as you know it’s not an opinion most of us share. Thanks!
Welcome to the hordes of Cholo fans, JoJo. Doesn’t Vincent just smoulder in the role?
I’ve been having trouble with the blog today and don’t have another picture of the big house and gardens on the computer, so in answer to your question, JoJo, the house inside is amazing. The central portion is at least 500 years old, but what you saw in the photo was a much more recent extension (probably 19th century). The fireplace and staircase in the oldest part are amazing, and the upper floors are all wonky and rickety. The main rooms are oak panelled with huge walk-in fireplaces. The little tower you can see is an oast house, where hops used to be dried for making beer. It’s now the kitchen for when the gardens are opened, and the place where you change for the pool. There’s been a house on the site since about the ninth century!
Watched a bit of The Salute of the Jugger yesterday – very violent. I thought it might be a film where Vincent didn’t have sex, but I was wrong.Thankfully they just can’t help using him and his prowess.
Thanks for the tips JoJo. Manic, how’s the flat hunting going?
Hi ladies, just back from Budapest and getting a much needed Vincent fix! Will sit down later and watch Saturday’s LOCI which I taped. Budapest was great – lovely city and absolutely wonderful food, which surprised me, but delighted me too as I adore food as much as I do Vincent!
JoJo – glad you enjoyed Naked Tango. Hara – gald to hear you’re sorting things out. Val – your blog gets better and better, hope all goes well with the jury service. Manic – glad things are looking promising!
I just read on imdb that William Hurt was originally considered for the role of cholo in Naked Tango. Can you imagine what a different movie it would have been?! Vincent was perfect. So sensual, so sexy. What a dancer.
Hi Ladies,
As we’ve discussed in the past, this page has gotten very long. So what I’ve done is create a new VDO page here:
http://www.molly.com/vdo/
And closed off comments here so we can take them up over on that page. So just bookmark the new page and let the VDO lovin’ commence!
Yours always,
Molly
