Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I figure that's the point. If people are going to stare anyway, give 'em something to stare at on his own terms. I kinda think it's awesome.
But I am currently obsessed with ink right now. Okay, actually, I'm currently obsessed with finding photos that show the left side of Tom Hardy's tattoos. Most of the shots are of the right side, which I can understand, what with the awesome and everything. But I'm pretty sure the left side would be awesome too, if I could find pics.
I imagine the person gets stares regardless, so why not make them interesting? Woah.
I would not be able to not stare.
Me neither.
At one point I was thinking of getting a "zipper" tattoo on my knee, on top of my surgery scar. But that tattoo is a lot freakier....
See, I can easily not stare at an amputated limb. I would be glued to the eye-freakery of that tat. I completely couldn't have guessed what it was before the full shot.
Liese, don't make me search for you. Have you looked at the new Tom Hardy Party web site?
Searching out pictures of Tom Hardy seems like a perfectly cromulent way to spend the time before Onerous Tasks begins! I approve!
As long as you share your findings.
So yesterday I learned that my sense of the Ancient History timeline is riddled with wrongness.
I picked up a new biography on Cleopatra and was startled to find a few choice facts. I quizzed JZ on these and she had a roughly accurate notion of what occurred when, so I will put it to Natter.
Ancient History Quiz (no googling)
How many years between Nefertiti and Cleopatra?
Answer: 1300
How man years between the death of Cleopatra and the birth of Christ?
Answer: Twenty five years or so.
The next one I should of known if I'd thought about it for more than ten minutes, but I was still surprised.
What was Cleopatra's ethnicity?
Answer: Macedonian Greek. With a little bit of Persian.
So clearly I need to spend more time on the History Channel.
But Xena met both Cleopatra AND Nefertiti. How is that possible?
I heard the author of that book on NPR a little while back! Sounded very interesting.
