Variations on the same theme

And at long last. ( The first 20 hotties. )

I'm sorry to announce that the girls top 100 won't come until after my exams. Aka February. But I'll do it, too. Promise.

Looks like I'm keeping up! It's bloody freezing in here, we're getting the window changed - consequently, I could use all the hotness I can get.

( Hotties 60 to 41! )

Finally, that which you'd all been waiting for, or likely not, but it's not like you're going to have to suffer through it, is it. The hotties are back! Starting with guys, just like last year. My Top 100 of the year. Twenty by twenty. Enjoy this first batch!

( #100 to #81. )

I'm done teaching in the Saint Sulpice neighbourhood for the year, so on Tuesday I took the camera again and hunted for more Amour graffiti on pavements I don't usually use, in nearby streets I'd never walked through. It was a very successful search, even more so than I thought. Not only did I find many more Amour tags, but I also came across an old book market on the Saint Sulpice square (exactly the type Geoff would've loved to lose himself in, just sayin').

On Tuesdays I teach in the neighbourhood of the Saint Sulpice. It took me a while to notice them, but a couple of weeks ago they first drew my attention. Graffiti here and there on the pavement, someone had written "Amour." all over the neighbourhood, handwritten (or possibly a stencil?), white paint.

And isn't that such a Geoff thing to do? Totally my first thought. Yep, Geoff's hanging around the Saint Sulpice. I'm on the lookout for a tall skinny bloke or some insane red hair.

This week I took Joey's digital camera with me to take a few pictures. How could I not? I love these graffiti.

( Amours. )

Now, I need to find some chalk and leave a message next to one of them to Geoff the person who left them. Because whoever they are, I want to know why they're doing this and what gave them this idea and why there and and and. I just want to know them. And all the wherefores and whys that come with the graffiti.

Right! Pictures, pictures, pictures. I created myself a Flickr account for the occasion, and uploaded quite a few pictures from the signings (Alan, Ron, Tony and Mira) and some from the Firefly/Serenity talk (Alan and Ron, obviously). Some were taken by Elisa, some by me, but I'm not sure which. If they look brilliant, they're very likely hers. If they focus on some weird part of Alan's body, they're probably mine.

( And under the cut, a few of my personal favourites. )

So. There's this movie not yet out in France, you might've heard about it, seen the trailers, or actually seen it already. It looks like a movie I'm gonna spend two hours groaning and bitching at, but I will spend those two hours of my life in front of it. It's called Firewall. And it stars Paul Bettany as a bad guy.

In the same vein, I've just watched Dodgeball. Which, much as I sorta like Vince Vaughn, I never ever in a million years would have watched if not for Alan Tudyk as the lovely, ever so blasted adorable Steve the Pirate.

Yes, this is going to be another one of those fangirly posts. And then a lot of Alan quotage about the movie. Because I said I would. ...I think I might even picspam, yes. Very much not dial-up-friendly, or people-who-can't-stand-fangirls-friendly. All pictures snagged from alan-tudyk.com, definitely the best Alan resource out there as far as I'm concerned.

So without further ado. ( Fangirly picspam! )

( Alan quotage. )

And okay, that's it. Remember that it was all your fault for encouraging me after I did the I, Robot quotespam. If my flist wasn't so Alan-friendly this never would've happened. ...now just admit you all just can't wait until I get my hands on Into the West. (Okay, you're going to have to wait a while, I think, unfortunately.)

Now don't forget everybody, tomorrow's Nathan's birthday. ...I might be convinced to picspam. Are you interested in a Nathan picspam?

And finally, the top of the list. This was hard, people. Not only putting these lovely gentlemen in the right order, but very simply choosing one picture, and one picture only, for each of them. Some were more difficult than others. *glares at a few of them* But behold! There they are, in all their attractive glory.

Enjoy.

( 20 to 1! )

I now give you hotties 60 to 41.
