Okay, this really proves that I have too much time on my hands, lol. I found the sexiest photos I could find of my two favorite actors, Neil Patrick Harris and Jim Parsons. Ironically enough, both photos are in black and white. The picture of Neil Patrick Harris is from Rolling Stone and the picture of Jim Parsons is from Maxim. Anyway, I took both pictures, and, after playing with them in The Gimp for awhile, I managed to make a background of them side-by-side. Anyway, I thought that I would share the background. Image size is 1280 x 800 pixels. Now I just have to figure out how to post it.
Okay, I think I have it! I'm going to post a link to it in my photo sharing site. Here it is!
I wasn't feeling particularly sleepy last night, so I stayed up to watch Conan O'Brien. This is very unusual behavior for me since I'm pretty much the definition of "morning person." Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised when Conan announced that one of his guests would be Neil Patrick Harris. I was excited and also a little nervous, because I caught a video clip of last time Neil Patrick Harris was on the Conan. He told some story about a vacation in Hawaii with his boyfriend. I don't remember it verbatim, but I think it went something like this. They went to a restaurant about 30 minutes from their hotel. On the way back, Neil realized that the food didn't totally agree with his digestive system, so he went looking for a rest stop. Finally he found a port-a-potty. Well, he went into the port-a-potty, had some major diarrhea, and then realized that the lid of the port-a-potty was down. Seriously, that was way more information about Neil Patrick Harris's bowel movements than I ever wanted to know. All I could think after that particular interview was "TMI."
Anyway, based on that story, I was nervous about this one. I was pleasantly surprised. For one thing, there was not one reference to bowel movements. For another thing, when he was chatting with Conan about how last year he and his boyfriend, by the way, I totally loved it when he referred to his boyfriend as "My better half," visited the playboy mansion. I swear, Conan's were all bugged out, it was the funniest thing. Now I'm no mind reader, but I swear I could read Conan's mind when that happened. He was thinking "You got invited to the playboy mansion? You're not even straight! You couldn't appreciate it! Why couldn't that have been me?" Well, that's what I think Conan was thinking anyway.
Oh, Neil also talked about this thing he's producing in L.A. Some kind of game, I think. I already forget it's name. He talked about some haunted house he did for Halloween this year at some friends' of his house. Oh, wait, there was a bowel movement reference. He said he didn't scare the real little ones too bad. He didn't want the kids dressed as Pooh to poo. Oh, and he also talked about trying to flirt while in a fat suit and how it didn't work out that well.
Hi. I'm back. First off, I would like to say that I am almost completely recovered from my gall bladder surgery. Sure, the surgery was laparoscopic, but there were some unexpected complications. But anyway, I'm better now. My husband has been amazing throughout all of this.
During my recovery, I got really into How I Met Your Mother. I admit to seeing the show before, but I was not a regular viewer. Now, however, I am not only a regular viewer of the show, but I own the first four seasons on DVD. The DVDs were a gift from my husband when he wanted to cheer me up during a particularly bad bout of illness do to my surgery. Anyway, my favorite character on the show is Barney Stinson, played by Neil Patrick Harris. I gotta say, Neil Patrick Harris is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also loved his musical number on the Emmys. I like him even better now than I did when he was Doogie Howser. I was not particularly fond of him in the Harold and Kumar movies, but that was not his fault. The problem was that I'm not a fan of stoner movies and those movies fell within that category. It doesn't matter how brilliant the actor is, if the script sucks, then, well, it sucks.
Oh, speaking of the Emmys and Neil Patrick Harris, I read somewhere, I can't remember where, that a couple days after the Emmys, that Jon Cryer said something along the lines that gay actors should remain closeted so that their performances are believable. That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. Think about the definition of the word actor. An actor is someone who pretends to be someone else. If an actor does his/her job well, his/her own sexual orientation has absolutely NOTHING to do with his/her believability when they are in character. Take Neil Patrick Harris, for example. I think Neil Patrick Harris is VERY believable as Barney. Jon Cryer is now on my shit list.
Oh, and speaking of gay actors, I caught the Ellen Degeneres show yesterday. T. R. Knight was on promoting this play that he is currently in. Anyway, the subject of babies came up, and apparently T. R. Knight wants one. On the surface, I support this. I mean, T. R. is 36 years old, probably has a good chunk of change saved up from his stint on Grey's Anatomy, and does not smoke. So what's my problem with this? Well, his boyfriend is only 21 years old and still in college! I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't really care who T. R. Knight dates. As long as he's happy, I'm happy. But his boyfriend, Mark Cornelsen, I believe his name is, is still very young. Now, having never met the guy, I can't say anything for certain, but I'm guessing that Mark might like to enjoy clubbing and drinking and partying a bit before settling down and having a family. Now, that's just my guess and I could be way off base. I just hope that T. R. Knight talked all this over with Mark before going on national TV and saying that he wants a baby.
