And the night shall be filled with music*
Jan. 6th, 2010 06:37 pmToday was spent running a single errand which involved taking the train to the Hague, then the tram to the ass-end of the city (it was beyond my city map) and slipping along ice fields to the closest DHL to send an envelope bearing a health insurance card. Not counting transport, this stint cost fifty-eight mother-lovin' euros. For an envelope! And last night I scoured the internet looking for courier service that was available in my city or not a ridiculous distance away, like Amsterdam or Rotterdam. *sigh* What can you expect, though: we haven't even got a post office anymore, just kiosks with postage capabilities.
Errand run, I went home and cleaned out my desk's drawers. The trash, oh lord, the trash one can stash!
I've also updated the epic crushes masterlist to add Rorschach, because he's a keeper.
Photographic and gif. evidence as to why there's a part of my cortex (and a puddle of drool on my desk) with his name on it:
Arms!

Wet puppy!

Sad puppy!

Of course, I'm not just a mass of hormones - he's psychologically fascinating as well. Must investigate further...

Date: 2010-01-07 09:07 am (UTC)The man with the astounding arms is character Rorschach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_%28comics%29) of Watchmen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmen_%28film%29) (2009). The scene where that's from - my favorite bit of the film - is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44BCsLxCEUI).
He's played by actor Jackie Earle Haley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Earle_Haley) who totally does not look (or sound) like that in real life.
