my heart cannot handle all of these assaults
Welcome to my belated feelings about Jesse Eisenberg, 2 years after the rest of the world has moved on. In my defense, 2 years ago I was recovering from Inception fandom and galivanting about Southeast Asia in a bliss of food and hot weather. I was distracted! Also, SJM.
But oh my god, Jesse Eisenberg. There is just something about his way with words, his dry humor, his thoughtful responses to asinine questions by reporters, and something perhaps to the impression of "intense vulnerability" he gives off, as Andrew Garfield put it. It's not that I want to mother him and pat his face, nor that I want to sex him up, but more along the lines of actually maybe - unutterably pretentious as it sounds - having fallen a bit in love with his soul, or at least the parts bared enough for the world to see. (I am not so delusional yet - or anymore? - to think that we could ever really know the full personality of a celebrity through their interviews alone, confessional as they may seem. Too many years of RPF have left their marks on me.)
HE FOSTERS CATS!! (I want a cat.)
Aaand I just got distracted for 15 minutes typing up this post by scouring YouTube clips of him. Yep. Who wants to see Now You See Me? I DO. What is that cast even. It looks like an unnecessarily explosive high-speed chase type of heist movie with lots of people in suits! I am down with this.
Aside from all those feelings, I've been up and down with hockey and my Canes and Flyers. Speaking of the latter, Philadelphia has been amazing in my two trips there for food, friends, and hockey, and I hope that trend continues! I found the most excellent Chinese restaurant there, serving food so spicy it will set your tongue on fire and bring tears to your eyes, but at least half of those tears are from blissful joy & dancing taste buds. Their Chinatown also provided me delicious egg tarts (蛋塔！！！) and milk tea, and hair stylists who actually know what they're doing with Asian hair that don't cost upwards of $200. Speaking of which, I chopped off about 6 inches of hair yesterday! My hair hasn't been this short since, well, probably 2 years ago back in early 2011. I am just revisiting the past these days, apparently.
I love Claude Giroux being a troll, I love Patrick Kane's filthy goals, I love that Mihae are hanging out so much more now and seem so much closer, and I love the Changtoria reflection-in-a-spoon scandal. Please. Victoria Song is flawless and could date ALL Y'ALL IDOLS. Nichkhun, Changmin, Kyuhyun, whomever. Amber, Luna, Krystal, Sulli. Okay, maybe not Zhou Mi. Aside from him though, I basically ship Victoria/anyone.
Work is going through a hellacious period, and yes I am using bad '90s slang, but I survive with having weekend plans with friends who keep me sane and happy.
What else? I once had so many serious analytic & critical thoughts about various news stories, but the time has passed and I have run out of thoughts and am surviving only on feelings. Give me some time to recollect my wits and thoughts.
Can you believe it's March already?! Just two and a half months until Star Trek Into Darkness!
