Is It Ok If I Still Drive To Work In The Winter, Mr. Quinto?

Last night, my sister and brother-in-law came over after a fun, wine-fueled day at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival (we go every year, IN COSTUME, so, it's a pretty big deal for us, since we are all quite dorky) Jim threw some frozen pizzas in the oven and I clicked on the TV to Law and Order. Well, to my ULTIMATE surprise, one of those "The More You Know" adverts came on and who should be informing us of the benefits of unplugging our appliances and turning off the air conditioner!? Zachary Quinto himself! I just about screamed for everyone to silence themselves immediately. Which they did, except for my snarky bro-in-law who, at the end of the PSA said, "Ok, thanks for listening, I'm gonna go comb my eyebrows now..." He was slapped on the arm for his disrespectful comment...even though it made me giggle, because, I do love those oh-so-ediable brows.

Here is a link to it:

I must say, he is kind of channeling Sylar in it...especially towards the end, the "possibilities are endless" line sounds more like a threat then anything else. "Bike to work or I'll slice your head off!"

Oh, man, my TV barely contained the hotness though, and it was almost like destiny because that PSA came on like, a minute after I turned the TV on. Good Saturday night times.

Oh, and here we are all dressed up at Ren Fest:L-r: Myself, my husband Jim, my sister Cori, her little pup Moya, and her husband Derek.

Nerd Alert!

*Sigh...*

I just ate a delicious baked potato! I really wanted to share that with someone, so instead of typing it as a status update on Facebook, I typed it here! Well, now my cat has gone after it...I hope the sour cream doesn't make him sick....

Anyway....

I want to say welcome to the few new people who are "following" my blog! Hi guys! What's up? Thanks for signing up, or in, or whatever. Feel free to comment and share in the ZQ lovin'! I wish I could invite you all over and we could all watch Star Trek and Heroes season 3 together and have popcorn and giggle and swoon to our hearts desire. In the meantime...

*collective sigh*

I'm Amused.

Heroes Season 3 comes out on Sept. 1st. Quinn and I are very excited. He even said, unprompted and out of the blue, "Rox, when you get Heroes can I watch it with you?" But, of course, child!

Heh.

At least he's not watching True Blood with me, right?

No Weekend Zorn :(

Hello friends! I am leaving town tomorrow morning to head up to Northern-ish Minnesota (near Brainerd, for those of you who have seen Fargo...) for a friend's birthday celebration/sleepover. And I will be leaving my laptop home, along with my husband (who has to work, and this makes me very sad :( and my cat. They keep each other company when I am gone though. See, they pretend to hate each other, but I have caught Jim more than once talking to Ryan in the little cutesy voice I use and rubbing his belly on more than one occasion. I just know they spoon at night when I am gone. Anyway, needless to say, I won't be blogging.

Today's Zorn is ZQ being sad since I won't be blogging at all this weekend.

Hey, when does his Funny or Die video premier? I've been checking that website almost daily, and nothing. Aside from "Living Beneath the Law with Jack McBrayer" (Kenneth from 30 Rock) and that makes me laugh waaaay too hard. "You don't have to look like a criminal to be one." Seriously, go watch it.

Save the '80's Nostolga

This piece of Zorn most def. has to be enlarge. Yummy, yummy, nom, nom, nom.

He's at a Save the Arcades event (like Save the Whales? Maybe...) Anyway, he looks so ....I dunno...relaxed? Something.

No hat though, so he must have been having a good hair day.

Stuck In The Middle With You...

Has Baby become marketable? Not that I didn't think he wasn't before, but do you think that people will now tune into Heroes because of the success of Star Trek? Yes, I started to watch Heroes because of Star Trek, but I did it properly. I sat down and watched Season 1, 2, and 3, sequentially, so I know what the heck was going on. I highly doubt someone thinking, "Hey, is that Spock?! Maybe I will start to watch this highly complicated and involved show...four seasons in. I'm bound to make sense of it!" I ask this because the new poster for Heroes Season 4 was released today and it features ZQ fairly prominently. Smack dab in the center. Not only that, only three characters were chosen to represent the show (the "hot girl" and the "fan favorite" I'm guessing, and "the dude with the successful summer movie" was why these three were picked) Here is the poster:


Do those three sum up the show? Hiro, Sylar and Claire? I guess, to some extent, yes. Claire represents the Petrelli mythology, Hiro represents the ...heroes who aren't Petrelli's, and Sylar has been Bad Guy Number One since the beginning of the show. Also, it it me or does Hayden P.'s cleavege look really, really weird?

Anyways, I was pretty excited to see ZQ on the poster, regardless of the reasoning behind it. Baby is totally marketable! I mean, if he endorsed some ridiculous product, I would probably buy it. Even if it was a Sham-Wow or something stupid!

Also, how hot is that Zorn I found last night?! Scorching!

Never Too Distracted For ZQ!

Ugh, here I am. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth or anything (if anyone was truly wondering) There has just been a lot of personal drama going on in my life which is distracting as all hell to me, and believe it or not it takes a certain level of concentration to blog about Zachary Quinto's eyebrows, and every time I went to blog this week I have just felt...distracted. However, I have the day off of work with Quinn, who is home for one day until he leaves to go to his Nana's cabin in Northern Minnesota with her, so we are going to have a fun, drama-free day! We are going to have lunch with my sister in Dowtown Minneapolis, maybe do a little back-to-school shopping, and just chill in general.

There isn't much new ZQ news to share. I am eagerly anticipating his Funny or Die video, which has yet to be posted, and I am eagerly awaiting season 4 Heroes to premier next month (as I continue, every now and then to have dirty, dirty dreams about Milo V. I have NO idea what this means...) And I am eagerly awaiting Star Trek's DVD release! Woot! My gal Kristi is back from her summer vaca and she posted a delicious piece of Zorn on my Facebook page for me last night....

I like this pic because ZQ looks how I feel, forlorn and DISTRACTED!

Enjoy! Missed you guys!

Clean Mr. Quinto

Today's Zorn makes me laugh because when I was in junior high about 12 years ago, I too, had a Mr. Bubble t-shirt. It was really the height of irony. There was a resurgence of product T-shirts in the late '90's that I really got behind for some reason. Tide, Mr. Bubble, so on. I don't know what happened to that shirt. I probably gave it to my grandma's church when we moved, but I loved it.

I just woke up from a horrible, horrible migraine, so seeing ZQ in the Mr. Bubble shirt really lifted my spirits. As did this:

Zachary Quinto Official Website - Blog - SYLAR: Deconstructed - Video

It's quite adorable, and kind of odd. I don't really understand the music selection, but it makes me smile.

A nap, a hot bath, and ZQ really can cure a headache.


Did I mention how excited for Heroes season 4 I am???

Lazy Sunday

Having a very lazy Sunday after my little scare last night. So, with my lazy Sunday I am just hanging out playing on the internets and I came across this hideous thing:




















Now, I have no problem wearing what I love...I have several Battlestar Galatica shirts, Nine Inch Nails shirts, X-Files shirts when I was in junior high, a Spock shirt, even. But, with all my nerdy declarations of love via t-shirts has never been that, cheesy. It looks very homemade, to be fair. But still. Heh. It reminds me of that three wolves howling at the moon t-shirt that is gaining popularity with ironic hipsters. I do love how big Sylar is on the shirt, though.

I was napping with my cat on the couch a few minutes ago (napping, playing on the internet and baking cookies are my activities today...I didn't nap during baking cookies though, just so you know...) So, I think I may go back to napping.

Have some Zorn to chew on. Nom, Nom, Nom....

I love this particulary piece of Zorn because his eyebrows look fantastic!

Storm Chaser---runner-away-from...

Scared, scared, scared! I am at my sister's pet sitting AGAIN (her and the new hubby are out of town for a wedding) and I had to usher the dog AND the cats into the basement because a tornado came by! UGH! I HATE bad weather! Then the power went out! And of course, Cori and Derek are so high-freakin'-tech they don't own a radio! Thank God my computer was charged up, because I was able to listen to the local weather station streaming on my computer....Then I called my dad to make sure he was in his basement, but, no...in true Minnesota-fashion he was practically sitting on his deck watching the storm. Uuuuggghhhh. It's past where I am, and no touchdown or substantial damage, thank God. I heard a fire truck go by so I'm guessing something may have started on fire because there was so much lightening. So, to calm my nerves, I am blogging. It's not really helping.

Maybe some Zorn will calm me down.

This is really par for the course during Minnesota summers, but I never quite get used to it....

Ramblings!

Quinn went with his mom this afternoon until NEXT Sunday. So I am childless for a solid ten days. My first night sans kid? I went to my sister's house, drank some cheap wine and watched The Nanny Diaries. I got home about a half hour ago, and I noticed my cat, Ryan O'Reily, after following me around meowing for ten minutes, is now fast asleep on one of the chairs in the living room not too far from me. I think he was waiting for me to come home before he could rest comfortably. Last night, I went for a walk after dinner, and kinda snuck back in. I heard Jim say to him, "Your not going outside, cat." As he was sitting in front of the front door, if he was waiting for someone, Jim says, "I think Ryan missed you come in." I went out to the living room and called his name, and he came running to me, not going near the front door the rest of the night. He was waiting for me! Isn't that sweet? I don't bring this up to pat myself on the back and think what a great person I am, but, man, that's just so sweet! My little Ry-pants, as I call him (loooooong story) misses me when I'm gone! For a cat, that's impressive. Sigh, I don't know why I decided to share that with you, I just love my cat, that's all. I'll post a picture with him tonight, because he's adorbz. And named after a character from the show Oz, for those of you who were wondering. This is very Ralph Wiggum of me, "My cat's breath smells like cat food."

MOVING ON!

Honestly, folks, I have a wine headache and am having a hard time focusing on anything right now. I found a hot piece of Zorn I want to share with all of you, and just want to say...Happy Birthday, MJ!

I'm going to see the movie Julie and Julia tomorrow, Zach's not in it, but I'm sure it will still be tolorable ;) I'll let you know.

Enjoy ZQ, and my kitty!

*Oh, the picture of Ryan was taken on the old, beat-up ratty coffee table my sister and I had when we lived together. It was my mom's and someone left a damp Windex bottle on the table too long, so that is why there is that big ugly oblong ring on it. Heh. That is all...

No One Looks Good Running.

How does he pull it off?

Oh, right, perfection, I forgot.

We Can Be Heroes!

This was posted last Friday, but I'm only getting to it now. Heroes Season 4 trailer! Woot! Here is the YouTube link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXDRkk4RTUo

Dear TV Gods,

Don't let season 4 of Heroes suck. I know season 3 was much, much better than season 2, but Heroes have yet to get to the level of greatness it was at in season 1. Why is this? Producers? Writers? It's not the actors, I think they are all good, save for a few minor ones who aren't on the show anymore, which is a good thing. I think it's the over-ambitiousness of it all. Quit adding new characters! We care about the original group like family, and along with our real families and friends, and other TV characters we consider family and friends we are running out of spots in our hearts for anymore fictional superheros, ok? I know I'm too late on that trolley because there is already, in the trailer alone, a whole mess of new people..ugh. Circus folk? C'mon now, have we been watching our Carnivale DVDs again? (I love that weird, slow moving show, btw) But, I will give them a chance, as I will poor Ali Larter in yet another incarnation of her character, or her character's twin, or triplet, or whatever the hell her deal is now. I saw her wedding pictures on people.com and she looked beautiful! Anyways, I love Angela Petrelli so very much, I'm glad she hasn't been pushed into the background, as this sometimes happens to women of a certain age in ensemble shows. Also, Peter as a paramedic again? Good...good. And I hear Claire's college adventures are going to get a little on the bi-curious side. Which I am willing to let slide, AS LONG as it's done in a non-exploitive manner, which probably won't happen.

But, my favorite part of the trailer? The very, very end. Sylar is holding baby Matt Parkman and he hisses, "I want my body back." Heh. That baby looks TERRIFIED! I wonder how they got that baby to look so scared? Probably told his mother to go hide somewhere, but it's hilarious. But, I suppose they couldn't have Sylar being all menacing holding a smiling, happy, gurgling baby. Even though that would have been so much awesome. Heh.

Anyways, TV Gods, help us out here. I know there is potential left in this little-show-that-could. It can't go from so much greatness to substantially less greatness to mediocrity in three short seasons. Can it?

Dirty Dreams Done Dirt Cheap

I don't usually admit this...but I had a dirty dream about someone the other night that I really wasn't expecting to, and NO! It wasn't ZQ, sadly enough. It was his Heroes co-star Milo Vent-whatshisface. (I could look up how to spell his last name, but I'm not gonna...) I don't find him particularly, outstandingly attractive. He's cute enough, but he was in that horrible Big Girls Don't Cry Fergie video, with fake tats and ill-advised facial hair. I love, love his character on Heroes, Peter Petrelli, all sensitive-pants and conflicted in season one, his story line was crap in season two (who's wasn't?) and he was kinda, borderline bad ass in season three, as bad ass as Peter Petrelli can be, I guess, taking care of his Ma, and what not. But, I haven't been watching Heroes lately! Also, I don't really know anything about him, I care not to, I guess. He seems a little...I dunno, shifty. He dated Hayden Paniettere and she's not even twenty, and he's thirty-two! Damn. My husband is eight years older than me, but still, that's quite the age gap. Aside, from that, I don't know anything about him. Also, on a personal note, I had a former co-worker who was in a wheelchair and she had a Helping Paws service animal, a golden retriever, and his name was Milo. I saw that dog all day, everyday, for two years. He is the only Milo I know. He was at my wedding!

So, this dream, I will spare you the dirty deets, was very surprising to me. Like I said, I don't know where it came from, or why he was in it, but there is was. I am big on trying to decipher dreams, so I think to myself, since I know so little about Milo himself, I consider him Peter, since I have not seen him act in anything else (that Fergie video doesn't count) but, in the dream he wasn't Peter, he was Milo. Why? What did I experience that day that reminded me of him? Is that what we dream about? I think dreams are our subconscious mind trying to solve problems for us. I think I may be trying to read too much into a dirty dream, maybe my subconscious just went, "Here is a cute boy, knock yourself out." Heh.

Honestly though, every "dirty" dream I've had that had a male celebrity in them, was also a celebrity that is totally out of the blue. ie-Michael Imperoli, yes, Christopher from The Sopranos. And, Matthew Fox---and I don't watch Lost.

Anyways...just thought I'd share, heh.

RE: Today's Zorn. I love how tan ZQ looks in this pic. Use sunscreen, baby! And the pic at the bottom is for LOLs...

And ZQ and Milo palling around to the left! Man, there are hardly any pics of these two together. You'd think since they work together, and Sylar has tried to kill/befriend Peter on several occasions, but not so much...

Even Headless, He's Still Hot

Welp, I just watched (finally) the bootlegged Star Trek from Aruba. It wasn't half bad. Well, the movie is excellent, and that translated very well (I wouldn't recommend viewing Star Trek for the first time with the bootlegged version however...) the quality was a bit shifty. I would compare it to something taped on a VHS off say, the BBC, 30 years ago. The audio was tinny as all hell, and the big music swells, when the Romulan ship appears etc. were absolutely ear-splitting, but it was totally fun to watch. We also had a good laugh because it wasn't formatted to fit television screens, so it was "tar Tre" when the title popped up, and darling ZQ, Spock, was walking around without a head a lot of the time since he's so tall, which was LOL-tastic. I watched it with my eight-year-old step-son Quinn, who did see it in the theater, but he kept looking out the window waiting for the cops to come squealing around the corner because we were watching an illegal movie. I texted my sister, "Quinn thinks we are gonna do hard time if we are caught watching this." She texts back, "Tell him speeding is a capital offense too." I sent back, "As is talking back and not finishing your milk."

It was just funny to see how excited he got, and a little apprehensive, that we were doing something that's "illegal." I don't think watching a pirated movie at eight is going to turn him into some criminal mastermind by the time he's twenty or anything like that, I just don't want him to go back to school this fall and say his favorite thing he did this summer was break the law with his step-mom.

I still can't wait to get the offical DVD when it comes out in November. It'll be fun to re-watch it the way it's intended, high in quilty, crisp audio, and Spock having a head.

Well, I Know I Can't Wait To See This!

First of all, Happy Birthday, Kristi!!!

Second of all:

from imdb.com:

Quinto's Gun Role Terrifies Locals

1 August 2009 7:11 AM, PDT

Zachary Quinto stunned diners in Los Angeles when he toted a gun as part of a comedy sketch - and his act was so convincing, terrified onlookers called the police.

The Star Trek actor was filming an upcoming skit for the Funny or Die website at L.A. bakery Kiss My Bundt.

But patrons weren't warned of the filming in advance - and were horrified to see the star with a gun, seemingly carrying out a real-life robbery.

Owner Chrysta Wilson tells E! Online, "When someone saw Zach hold up a real gun and scream, 'This is a goddamn hold up!' they called the police.

"Zachary is scary as hell. I was in the back, making batter, and he was running through the script. All I could hear was, 'Nobody f**king move!' He plays evil very well."

Quinto was so good in his role as a gun-toting robber, cops were called a second time as he re-shot the scene - so the actor and director Hank Nelken faced a race against time to get the spoof wrapped.

Wilson adds, "They knew if the cops were called again, the set was going to be shut down. They were whispering their lines in the alley. They knew they had to nail it on the last take."

Hehehe...
