a collection of randomness

[hafital]

Random thing 1 -- I have discovered something worse than Evanescence's Bring me to Life. That is *Karaoke* Bring me to Life. Aiiii.

Random thing 2 -- The movie of The Pirates of Penzance with Kevin Kline and Rex Smith is quite possible one of the gayest things ever. I didn't think it was possible to out queer Jack Sparrow, but damn. And now I desperately want Pirate King/Fredrick slash.

Random thing 3 -- Does anyone remember Rex Smith on Solid Gold? I was too young to watch that show, but I must have managed it somehow because I have vivid memories of it and the Solid Gold dancers. I used to work with a costume designer who claimed to have been a Solid Gold dancer. I thought that was so cool. LOL. He was this gorgeous gay guy. Man, memories.

Random thing 4 -- I haven't done any christmas shopping. This is bad.

Random thing 5 -- With Yuletide done, now it seems like ages till Christmas and New Years. heh.

You should've seen Rex Smith in The Scarlet Pimpernel as Chauvelin. Watching him and Douglas Sills (as Percy) all I could think was, "Marguarite who?" :->

I remember him in that! But I didn't get a chance to see it. I'm afraid to look up anything he might have done/be doing now, 'cause he strikes me as the type to not have aged well.

Pirates of Penzance! One of my all-time favorite pieces of art, that production. Has Kevin Kline ever been sexier? Plus, pretty music! Funny! Angela Lansbury! I heart it.

Amazing how I never thought of Pirate King/Frederick until you mentioned it. Of course, we know why Ruth is so desperate to have Frederick back with the pirate band, but why should the Pirate King care so much? Hmmm. Of course, you'd have to give the guy a name, first. (:

I do remember Rex Smith on Solid Gold, I'm sorry to say. I loved that show when I was a kid. Now...I shudder.

Dude, Kevin Kline is very near perfection in this production. Genius! I remember being absolutely fascinated by him as a kid. Mom loved the movie and we watched it many many times. But it's been literally 10 years since I've seen it last. We dug it out for the niece and nephew.

hee. It's not just that he wants Fredrick back, but that Fredrick keeps expressing his love for him. *g* Well, for all of them, but for him specifically. Gay Pirates! Weeee.

And Solid Gold is pretty shudderific.

I remember Rex Smith - who I thought was really hot at the time - and I remember Solid Gold. I just don't remember the two together. I think I have an mp3 of Rex's downloaded. Simply for nostalgia, you understand. *g*

You have to wonder about a guy who's name is Rex, really. *g* I used to think he was so pretty and perfect.

I started to be horrified? And then I thought... actually, it could be less awful. You never know -- the person singing it might be on key sometimes!

eeeeeee. I have done some, but not nearly enough. *tries not to panic*

I so cannot wait to read your Yuletide story!

:) Well, it was a lot more charming in some ways without all that overblown image, but the song still sucked, and they weren't at all on key. *g*

I so cannot wait to read your Yuletide story!

My feelings exactly, only in reverse. *g* You're so sweet. I hope it's at least a readable story. It's pretty silly.
