24 Hours of ZQ

Ok, I am going to start the show 24, for a variety of reasons. One, Zachary Quinto pops up in season 3-all of season 3- so there is that. The other reasons are pretty un-related to this blog, so I will spare you the deets, but I am embarrassed to say, I have never, ever seen an episode of it.

Is it good? I hear it's a bit unbelievable, but so is alot of stuff I like. That's why I like it. Kiefer Sutherland is in it, I like him, when he's not head-butting people. I hear there is a ridiculous use of a bear trap. My friend Dena was OBSESSED with 24 for a while. So much so, I saw a 24 Halloween costume at Party City a few years ago and I almost bought it for her. She would also try to work Jack Bauer into every example she could, it was pretty hilarious.

We own season one of 24 for the same reason we own season one of Heroes. Jim's dad bought it for him because he thought he would like it. Has he ever gotten around to seeing it? No...so I will!

Also, since ZQ is only in season 3, do I have to see season 1 and 2 to "keep up"? If you know, let me know.

Zadorable. (Zachary plus Adorable? )

This weekend is turning out to be more of a pain in the ass than I anticipated. But, here I am finally having the time to blog! Weee! Don't get me wrong, the Friday night I spent with my sis at the local Mexican eatery on the patio drinking margs was tons of fun, as was going to the bookstore slightly drunk. Saturday was fun too! Finally saw Harry Potter! Then the mall, then an impromptu grilling session, then drama that I care not to get into...now it's finally Sunday. We had simple plans this weekend, watching Let The Right One In, and The Watchmen, Jim and I...just kinda hanging out at home, well, not so much. I seriously thought a few times this weekend, "When the hell am I going to get the chance to get on ZQ's Eyebrows?!?!" Well, here I am, let's discuss!

Comic-con is in full swing in San Diego, I am not there, sadly, but hopefully next year. However, the Heroes panel was yesterday, and much was reveled, according to one of my favorite website, io9.com. Apparently, they've figured out the whole Sylar/Nathan debacle that ended last season, well, they figured it out for Sylar fans, not so much for those rooting for Nathan. ZQ was there and said someting adorable:

Spock vs. Sylar?
Zachary Quinto: I think that, honestly in the end, Spock would have to take it. Only because he's fighting for good, and I'd like to believe that that always wins (Cue crowd going "awwww" as if on cue).
Milo Ventimiglia: What about Leonard Nimoy or Zack Quinto?
Quinto: Leonard in one round.

Awww, that is awesome. So happy that Baby knows his place. Heh.

Ok, back to my busy weekend. Argh. Seriously, I just want to sit around and blog, you guys. No joke.

Todays Zorn is ZQ and my FAVORITE character actor, who was on Heroes Season 3, Zeljko Ivanek! I wrote a Facebook note about him once and everything....http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/note.php?note_id=98126254619

Smile, Baby!

I know, I know, I didn't blog at all yesterday! Because, here I am minding my own business, and I look at the clock and it's ten o'clock! Which is waaaay passed my bedtime, so there you have it. Let's get right down to our Zorn business, shall we?

First of all, my girl Kristi, a graphic designer extraordinaire.. (just ask to see The Weird Sister's shirt she designed for me a few years ago for the last Harry Potter midnight release party on my husband's Barnes and Noble...) took the time out of her busy, creative day, to make me this:

Ahhhhh! And...I die! I love it so very much, I am debating what should I do with it. I see it on my fridge in the near future....

Also, here is a delicious piece of Zorn for you all to enjoy.



Look at the great smile. I have a theory that ZQ doesn't like his own smile, because very rarley do you get a picture of him at an event with just a plain 'ol smile on his face. He's either making a serious face, or kind of smirking, but not giving us the full on toothy smile he is in this pic. It may be a personally insecurity of his, or whatever, but he is so darn cute when he does smile, it makes me smile!

Domino effect, ZQ!

(Also, I highly recommended all of you clicking on the picture to the left thereby making it larger, if those big, beautiful brown eyes of his doesn't make your heart go pitter-patter, there is something wrong with you.)

Zachary Quinto's Shoes.

There are many aspects of Zachary Quinto to be admired. He's eyebrows, his hat, he's acting ability, his quirky fashion sense, his general adorable-ness. And, his love for cheap, hipster footwear. ZQ loves a good pair of Chucks.

"Chucks" AKA, Converse All-Stars, or Chuck Taylor's (or as my mom calls them, "bumpers" apparently that's what they were called in the '70's...)

Proof ZQ loves Chucks: "Zachary requested that he wear Converse All Stars in this and future episodes, but complained that his feet got soaked when filming in the fake snow during 'Unexpected' "- From a Heroes fansite. Oh, and don't I know about feet getting soaked in the snow while wearing Chucks, as an avid Chucks wearer, and a Minnesotan, the two have, undoubtedly, unfortunately, mixed.

Below are some pictures of Zachary wearing his footwear of choice, looking adorkable. Wearing the classic Black and White high-top (or so it seems) Chucks in what appears to be a chicken coop, or something. Black and whites again. Looks like they need to be thrown in the washer with the hat.

That sweater is questionable.
Funny story behind this picture. For those of you who don't know, my step-son Quinn, who is eight, lives with me and his dad full-time, so I am basically his mother and primary caregiver, so therefore, he watches what I watch, because I can only take so much Spongebob. I recently bought Quinn his first pair of Chucks, because I saw them in his size at Famous Footwear and just about freaked out I was so excited. I had this picture on our desktop computer as our wallpaper for a while. Quinn walked up to it and said, "Hey, Rox, is that Sylar?" (Yes, he's a Spock fan also, but ZQ looks like ZQ when he plays Sylar, he didn't make the connection between him and Spock...and yes, Quinn watched Heroes with me...) I said, "Yeah, that's him." Quinn gets big smile on his face "Cool...he's wearing Chucks..." Now, this is the reaction anytime Q sees someone wearing a pair of Chucks. Anyone on TV who wears them are awesome, because Quinn has the same shoes, and Quinn thinks he's pretty awesome. Who didn't when they were eight?

I just love the pictures from this photoshoot so much, you get two pics from it.

Now, Chucks aren't the ONLY shoes Zach wears, of course. He wears a good dress shoe when he needs to, flip-flops, slide on tennis shoes, some horrid multi-colored Nike high-tops I've seen pictures of him in....But, I love the Chucks the most, because I love Chucks. I am currently on a quest to find a pair of hot pink low-tops. I know the high-top version exist, but I have black and white high-tops. I know that hot pink ones exist because I saw them on a mannequin at a store and I just about stole them off of it...

On a personal note, I got this picture from my sister today. How cute is Quinn as Ring Bearer, and my little cousin Gabie as flower girl at my sis's wedding??? I'd wager to say cute than ZQ...not by much, mind you, but still...

Spock Would Not Approve.

My sister returned from Aruba late last night with her new husband from their honeymoon. We just came from their house armed with the souvenirs they bought us! T-shirts, bags, cute rings, shells, Aruban money...oh, and I walked out of there with her bootlegged copy of Star Trek.

It's hilarious! First, the cover is just a computer print out of one of the movie posters, Kirk in the center, Uhura on the left and Spock on the right, with a little Nero at the bottom in the center. And the title on the cover is Star Trek: The Future Begins. I wonder if that's what is was called in Denmark, since Aruba is a Dutch colony (or was??? There is a lot of general Danish-ness in Aruba...) The cover is black and white, and looks really homemade but it makes me laugh. "It was only eight dollars!" My sister said proudly. She did, however, take the slip-cover out of the DVD case when she took in on the plane because Derek told her a story about a friend of his who was coming back from China with a bunch of Rolexs and when Customs caught sight of them at the airport, they smashed the watches, not wanting him to bring "stolen" merchandise into the United States. Heh. Cori was scared for her movie.

I will let you know how the quality is on the pirated copy. Derek was convinced that the ending had to be missing or something since he thought the quality was so good something had to be wrong with it, but not so much.

Oh, and shhhh....don't tell Paramount. I promise I'll still buy it when in comes out on DVD in November. The Collector's Edition even! Honest!

The Dog Days of Summer Fashion.

A new hat?! White pants?! A plaid shirt?! (Well, the plaid is pretty par for the course for our boy...) Look how beautiful ZQ looked Saturday at an event for Jessica Lange, who I love, AND is from Minnesota...Soak it in. What a great summer look only he could pull off.

I am finally home from my stay-cation at my sister's house. Sick as a dog, too. But, my cat it so very happy to see me, so that makes me happy. Oh, Jim and Quinn too, I guess.

You know what else makes me happy? New pics of ZQ.

Work the Brow, Baby.

I love a good cocked eyebrow. I'm the only one in my family who can do it, aside from my step-son. Now that I think of it, I'm the only one in my family who can wink too (my mom and sister both look like they are trying to get a speck of dirt out of their eyes or something when they attempt a wink.) Behold something adorable:










ZQ cocking his gorgeous brow, all sinister-like. And hot.
















My step-son Quinn, who loves Spock, and learned to eyebrow cock after seeing Star Trek, working the brow, less sinister-like. That would be my brother-in-law Derek behind him. And my husband at the ATM in the background.



Quinn is only eight, so maybe someday his brows will grow in a little thicker, and he'll be able to pull of evil a little better.
