This past weekend
My computer crashed. I now have internet access again so whee.
I got another sinus infection/flu thing. It seems to be going quickly so again whee.
It was still a bad, bad weekend (other than talking to Rivier and Rhiannonhero and e:mailing with shawn_club and having jerminating for a housemate).
So, I've gakked the Ten boys who float my boat meme from Rhiannonhero who did the same from JacynRebekah.
1. John Glover. Don't ask. I've had a mild crush on him since I saw Julia for the first time. It has recently become virulent due to frequent watchings of Smallville.
2. Patrick Stewart. His performance as Jean-Luc Picard was brilliant and nuanced. But I've also seen him in Henry IV (right about the same time as I saw Julia, hmmmm) and Prospero in live performance. The man is mesmerizing.
3. Tom Wilkinson. I spent most of the early 1980s as a Royal Shakespeare Company groupie. His performance as Melantius in The Maid's Tragedy was a big part of the reason why.
4. Jeremy Taylor. Top tenor for Harvey and the Wallbangers. Extraordinary voice.
5. Daniel Radcliffe. Yes, this is terribly squicky for me. At last year's Oscars the producers asked various actors and directors to talk about their favorite film. This resonant and cultured British voice started to discuss 12 Angry Men. I mentally reviewed all the British actors I knew (see RSC groupiedom above) to place the voice that was making me melt. They cut to a thirteen year old boy! So, it's the voice. One day he'll be old enough that I'll be able to forgive myself for it.
6. Trevor Eve. I like him better now that he's older and grown into himself. In interviews he seems to have a sense of humor.
7. Alan Titchmarsh. Like Trevor Eve, he reminds me of my first boyfriend. Same accent, same mouth, same skewed literary sense of humor.
8. My first boyfriend. He was 16 years older than I was. We had the same taste in Jazz. When he kissed me for the first time, there were fireworks. I haven't seen him in 15 years, but there's still part of me that will always love him. Trevor Eve and Alan Titchmarsh made it on the list at least partially due to him.
9. Michael Rosenbaum's Lex Luthor. I'm not certain whether I'd get along with the gentleman I've seen in interviews, but oh, how I lust for Lex.
10. Tom Welling. He's every woman's (and most gay men's) wet dream. I don't care about the personality; the looks do it for me. Dammit. *g*

I'm doing a little better, but hate having a head cold/flu. I hope it goes away soon.
Hugs.

I am sending you virtual orange juice (or whatever your remedy of preference is.)
