Haiku of the moment.

I have to go with

the feeling that flows within

or else I'll dry up.

One Role Actors

I got this idea from theFrisky. They were on point about the stars who seem to only play themselves on the silverscreen; Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Matt McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, etc. Honestly, I don't know how some of these folks can call themselves actors. And while Michael Cera and Sandra Bullock have overstayed their welcome in the NerdCom and RomCon genres (dare I call them genres?), each can hold their own as talented actors. I have been in fanluv with Ryan Reynolds since this. I think we have yet to see his full-range, but he can play himself anyday. I can't wait to see him in this or this.

So theFrisky's list included actors who can actually act. If that's the premise, then you could add DeNiro, Washington and a few other big Hollywood ballers to that list. I contend however, that true One Rolers CAN'T act AND, they don't care.

Beckie's List of Awful/One Role Actors by Category

Wooden Actors or 

Geppetto's Best Work

1. Bokeem Woodbine. I don't know what Holly Hunter was thinking when she put in Saving Grace.

2. Jada Pinkett Smith. I want to like her. But she won't let me. Because she does stuff like this. I did like Wicked Wisdom...too bad it was a commercial flop.

Honorable Mention: Mechh-khi Phifer, Omar Epps, Dylan McDermott, Malcolm Jamal-Warner, Keanu Reaves and, no doubt, Kristen Stewart.

The Obvious or

One is How They Role

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Jessica Alba, Owen Wilson. I still don't know why JA is famous. What was she in?? I imagine that all of Katie's scripts are written in crayon on paper like this.

Women/Men like me...that's all I need

Allan Payne

Cameron Diaz

Megan Fox

Boris Kodjoe (I'm sorry, but y'all know it's true)

Hill Harper (he gets the Scooby Doo sound)

Ahh, I luv Scooby. I'm sure there will be updates to this post. I'll have to post something on actors Hollywood seems to be sleeping on later.

My new ride

Here's my new ride! A lovely red beach cruiser! Don't you just love those white walls! I picked this up from my beloved CL, along with another bike for the boy. Two new-to-us bikes for $100! The boy and I are planning to repaint his bike because the colors are too girly for him.

I don't know what bike design genius thought of making the spring pink, but he (it could only be a he) should be slapped. That shitty blue is bad enough.

I rode the cruiser to work today...and boy, is my fat out of shape! There is one small incline that felt like the Everest summit. I made it up most of the way, but fortunately an intersection and a red light kindly gave me an excuse to quit panting and rest a bit.

I need to adjust the handle bars and it could use a paint job, but right now, I'm happy with the cruiser the way it is! All it needs is a basket and some streamers!
