Thursday Thirteen


13 actors Lany really likes



1. John Barrowman—Torchwood. He can make you believe chemistry with anyone, male or female. He’s so intense.
2. David Tennant—Dr. Who
3. Christopher Eccleston—Dr. Who
4 Jonas Armstrong—Robin Hood.
5. Alan Rickman—from Harry Potter and others. His voice, oh his voice
6. Morgan Freeman—various movies, including Deep Impact. Same for him. He could read the phone book. I’d listen.
7. Vin Diesel—various movies, including Pitch Black. Why yes, I have a voice thing.
8. Mike Rowe—not technically an actor I guess but I love him on Dirty Jobs and doing narration for Deadliest Catch. Voice, personality, looks. What’s not to like.
9. James Marsters—From Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and Torchwood
10. Michael Shanks—From Stargate SG-1. A sense of humor and an ability to play a very intelligent man.
11. Heath Ledger—various movies including Brokeback Mountain and the TV show, Roar. I’m going to miss him
12. Humphrey Bogart—from Casablanca and African Queen
13. Johnny Depp—from Pirates of the Caribbean, among others.

I realized in doing this, I really have a thing for voices. And am driven a bit by my ears.

Thursday Thirteen

Posting early because tomorrow is a busy day...


13 random things Mel’s going to miss about her dad.



Lany’s note: Melissa’s father passed away on February 15th. She posted another tribute to him on her livejournal. ((((((((((((Mel)))))))

1. Dad's voice. Dad wasn't much of a small talker but when he spoke we all listened.
2. Dad's smile. He wasn't one to show his feelings, but his smile was beautiful.
3. Dad asking "what's the hurry?" It didn't matter if you visited for a hour or weekend, he always asked "what's your rush?"
4. Calling and asking how he's doing.
5. Watching NASCAR with Daddy. He was such a huge racing fan.
6. Listening to country music with him. He loved the real old stuff.
7. Watching him open his gifts. He loved Christmas and his birthday. He was like a kid when it came to presents.
8. Having his company at the kids sporting activities. Even when he was his sickest, he never ever missed a game.
9. Watching westerns with him. He was a huge fan of the Duke and Clint Eastwood.
10. Spending Halloween with him. Every Halloween (besides the one we spent in Hawaii) we spent the last hour trick-or-treating around his neighborhood. And dinner with my parents always followed.
11. Hearing him call me by my nickname Peach. Even as an adult he always called me by it.
12. I'll miss not being able to call him when I'm in a bind. He was always there no matter how big or small the problem was.
13. I'll miss his love.
