12:26 pm - Am I missing something??????.....still too much time on my hands.

I fancy myself a fairly intelligent person. But what in hell was this woman's point???? Maybe Geoffrey was just proud of his work.

  

 Read below......

Do they have small talk in Oz?

In a crowded elevator at the Intercontinental Hotel on Bloor St. W. in the full heat of TIFF frenzy one afternoon this week, a blond-maned Patricia Clarkson caught the eye of Geoffrey Rush.

The famed Australian stage thespian, director and screen star had just finished an exhaustive round of media sessions explaining the oblique origins of the cultural mayhem on display in Bran Nue Dae, the movie version of a popular Aussie song-and-dance show.

In the movie, the Oscar-winning actor plays one of very few white characters among a mostly indigenous cast.

"What are you working on?" the actress asked.

"I'm in an Aboriginal musical and it's absolutely wonderful!" Rush replied, beaming.

Clarkson looked askance, as if someone had slapped her.

"Oh, my," she muttered into someone's shoulder, clearly at a loss for words.WW



OK, I don't speak bitch language so maybe I 'm missing something. What are they suggesting.....that Geoffrey was hitting on this woman by speaking highly of his movie???? OR that he is uncouth because he praised it.

If someone out there, (Renee, Cate, anyone) could explain this I would be grateful.  To me it just sounds like an excuse to to diss the man.  Personally I think if this is true she needs to remove the stick from her ass!!!!

06:57 pm - I need a drink.

 Ahhhh, look at that face! I love this man!!!!

Well, I have everything I need to send to Renee except the most important thing. The card!!!! I mean how hard is it to find a card these days. All I wanted was a BLANK card with Marilyn on the front to send Geoffrey and I have been everywhere. The problem is there all the standard Monroe pics and I hate those. I actually found one on the internet with a more obscure pic but when I recieved it, it looked like something I could have done at home!  I am going to look ONE more day and then I guess I will be forced to send this pathetic excuse for a card. I can't believe it is has been this difficult.  I mean it is getting down to the wire now and I'm getting a little nervous!

On a sappier note, I know it's getting closer and I know I'm not going (yes, I'm still whining about this). I've comed to terms with it a while ago I suppose but the closer it gets the more horrible I feel about it. It's like having tickets to your all-time favorite rock band's once in a lifetime reunion tour,( that you've worshipped since puberty), you get there, you can hear the crowd, feel the energy, smell the spirits, and then realize your pain in the --- husband  left your tickets at the hotel room. (Actually that was a true story except instead of a band it was a major league baseball team. We watched the game from the hotel room.) The point is, it's very painful.

The one comfort I have is that at least I am sending this little gift and the hopes that you ladies that are going won't forget about those of us who aren't. Please don't forget.


 

Ohhhhh, and since I can't go to the play. My husband got the bright idea to buy all of these signed autographs of Geoffrey off of E-bay?????? So now I have tons of autographed pics of Geoffrey Rush addressed to every Tom, Dick, Harry,........ Larry, Curly, Moe, ....... Donald, Daffy, and Daisy Duck there is out there!!!!  Basically everyone except for me. What was the point????

The only good thing that came out of it was some guy sent a picture he had snapped of Geoffrey at Good Morning America last year signing autographs! It is actually a really good pic but It looks blurry on here. Is this guy crazy or what??? No one gives up an actual picture of the Master!!!!

11:41 am - Susan Sarandon/ SNL

I don't know if you guy's are familiar with Justin TImberlake's and Andy Samberg's SNL skit called "Dick in a Box". Well, since yesterday was Mother's Day here in the US, they did a sequel to this masterpiece (ahem), called "Mother Lover" that has Geoffrey's ETK co-star Susan Sarandon in it.

Basically, these two morons realize that tomorow will be Mother's Day and they have nothing to give. So they come up with the brilliant idea that since both of their mom's are lonely divorcee's they will do them a favor and sleep with the others mom. I know, pretty absurd, but actually funny. Anyway since it has Susan in it I thought some of you may be interested.

I have a feeling Geoffrey got a kick out of this!

01:30 pm - "The View"

Just wanted to say that I did catch "The View" earlier. Thank goodness for DVR'S!!!! But I have no idea how to upload it for the rest of you guys. Hopefully some kind person will do that or you guys can watch it on the net.

But Geoffrey was there. And with full robe and crown on, seriously through the whole show!!!!!! He was more or less quiet, he let Susan do most of the talking. He did say he might become a "Queen" one day though, lol.  

The only bad thing is we can't see teh hair because of that damn crown! XD

06:24 pm - pointless ramblings

What the hell is wrong with me. Why do I continue to read to these Exit the King  posts. I must have a penchant for torture because each time I do I can feel the sting of hot salty tears feeling my eyes and a sense of dread as reality closes in. And the reality is I'm not going. I can't. It's just not in the cards for me. I can't even imagine there would ever have been a worst year in my life for an event like this to happen. I mean besides dealing with my supportive husband, the economy is in the freaking tank. I don't have two dimes to rub together much less money for air fare and hotel accomodations.... Of course if I thought there was a chance in hell I could go to this thing, I would sit on a street corner with a pair of black shades, a guitar, and a tin can. But  that's the point, I can't go. It's been decided. I guess I better come to terms with it, the sooner the better. No need to drag these things out. 

Accept, deal, and move the hell on.


I still can't believe I'm not going to meet Geoffrey.

08:54 pm - Sadness

Well it looks like I'm not going to the play.  My husband has pretty much made sure of that.  He's basically chastised me for wanting to go in the first place saying that it is a ridiculous idea and very "dangerous" seeing as I have never met you guys before (despite the fact that he would meet you ahead of time). And then scolded me like a child for my "naivety" and immaturity. More insults have followed and then on a side note he reminded me that we really don't have the money.  So that's basically it.

As of now (and I don't mean to sound dramatic) I am pretty much devastated. My spouse and I are no longer on speaking terms. But let me say that is not unusual.
 
I  just can't believe this once in a life time opportunity is going to pass me by and I will just have to sit back and watch while it happens.  I mean what other time would there be to see this play, meet fellow rushies, and possibly get a chance to meet Geoffrey. I would guess never. This was very important to me, and to be made to feel that it is all silly and ridiculous by my own husband ( not surprising)  has left me pretty shell shocked.  I've went from being extremely angry to extremely hurt to actually shedding a few tears over this whole thing.  So I guess thats it for me.  I will be sitting on the sidelines reading about it from my laptop.


This is going to be painful.....

09:00 pm - Who needs a play with this kind of DRAMA at home!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a question for you ladies. Me and the hubbie are having some trouble with the play situation. So I want to hear your honest opinion.

I already knew that if I wanted to go to the play and meet you guys there would be problems. I figured it would be money, bad timing, or just Geoffrey in general but.....

He basically seems fine with me going to the play and even seems fine if I happened to meet Geoffrey afterward. But the problem is that he wants to basically chaperon me everywhere. I told him we could go to the play together , if he wanted too (even thought I know he will probably be miserable). But I asked him to give me some leeway and let me go out with you guys afterward alone. I mean this is my thing, so I basically ask him to make this sacrifice for me.  He thinks this is the most stupid idea ever. He keeps saying it's ridiculous for me to be going anywhere in NYC without him even if he knows exactly were I am at at all times.  He keeps saying that I don't know you guys and the idea is absurd. But my way of thinking is that he would get to meet you guys ahead of time and we could give him an idea of where we will be. Once I know  for sure, he would know exactly where I would be. He would have his cell phone and I would have mine they way we could always get in contact with each other. I would give him the exact location and the freaking address if needed! I mean it's not like we are going to be on opposite sides of the globe. We would not be that far from each other at all.  I am a very responsible person. I am not a drunk or an idiot. I am basically a laid back  reserved person. So I mean besides some kind of freak accident or murder taking place what is the worst thing that could happen. As long as we stick together and don't run off alone I think we should be fine. I  just hate the feeling that I am going to be on a leash if I go to this thing.  But this is pretty much par for the course for our relationship.

Sooooo as of now he basically yelled and said I can either go by myself to NYC or he has to go EVERYWHERE with me. Personally I think he is being unreasonable and it is just more of his usual   behavior.  I mean if he was that worried about my safety he wouldn't be saying that I should just go alone. But as usual it's his way or the highway.  I would like to at least have some time with you guys by myself that way we can talk about the Geoffster or whatever. And if we meet Geoffrey it's great but if we don't that's fine too.

But give me some feedback please. Is it ridiculous for me to ask to be left alone to go to dinner with you guys or too a bar? I mean.. I don't want to feel like a child. I am 33  freaking years old!

12:18 pm - Priorities

     

I have things I need to be doing. Important things! I have 2 tests tomorrow, 2 tests on Friday and 4 exams next week. Today is my day off and I have set aside this day to work on these pressing matters, but no, here I am on LJ searching Geoffrey posts and requesting nude Marilyn icons. Why!  Why can't I be a responsible adult!!!   Why does this nonsensical superficiality make me happy????  I mean in the long scheme of things does it really matter if I make yet another comment about Geoffrey's hair??? Do I really need to reinstate that the man looks great in a pair of jeans and that  the blue jacket trimmed in white should be molded to his frame. Is saving the #1654th icon of  Norma Jeane/Marilyn really going to keep me satisfied.??? SHAMELESS!!!

And for those of you who don't know, I finally got accepted into the "Dental Assisting" program. So I'm pretty much going to school to put on braces, assist with root canals and take x-rays of decayed teeth. I know it sounds exciting but try to contain your enthusiasm.
So if any of you Rushies need a highlight, cut, shampoo and style and a tooth pulled on the same day I'll hook you up!!!!

And I don't know if you guys have seen these pics before. I don't remember them, of course that doesn't mean much. And where is Jane these days??? We never see her anymore.

Oh well, I'm off to take care of my big girl responsibilities!!! 
10 DAYS AND COUNTING TILL HOLIDAY BREAK!!!!

06:06 pm - Devastatingly Handsome? You have no idea!!!!!

I  just saw this short Japanese interview that Geoffrey gave during POTC. I don't even remember seeing  it but OMG this man is just soooooo freaking sexy!!! Just listen to the cheeky way he explains the length of time it takes him to turn into Barbossa.  I think this interviewer must have been a female cause he's just too flirty.  But the sound of his voice and that devilish look in his eyes has  got me all crazy. I need to stop, take deep breathes and think pure thoughts!!!

05:26 pm - Deep thoughts

    

I haven't wrote in journal since vacation! I guess I haven't had much on mind or maybe too much? I'm not sure which it is. 

Anyway, there are so many important and disconcerting things that have been going on lately here in the U.S.  I mean basically  things have went to hell in a handbag. Hurricanes have come and gone, gas has disappeared, giant financial institutions have fallen and the term economic depression is being uttered. And this is just in the past few weeks!  The cops are now at the gas stations. I mean at least before while you waited 2 hours for gas you were being entertained by scuffles, heated exchanges and dirty looks. Now we don't even have that! 

It seems this country is on the edge of a dangerous precipice right now and unfortunately it ain't looking good. I suppose I should be ready to "rush" to the voting booth in  November but that's just not the case. For the first time since I've been able to vote I honestly can't bring myself to check either box.  Coming from a fairly political family I have aways aligned myself with a certain party but as I have gotten older this is no longer the case.  I have finally cleansed myself of the pitfalls of thinking that one party is better than the other. I suppose there's comfort in that kind of thinking but I will no longer buy into it. So now there is only uncertainty. But one thing I am fairly certain of is, is that both candidates will say whatever it takes to get elected, they both think  they are right and they both are full of shit....and either candidate could possibly be the one to send us into a further tailspin.  And I for one don't wont to feel responsible for checking the wrong box.

Now on to more important matters (Geoffrey)
 I  realized  that I have been a rushie now for at least 2 and a half years and I never get tired of this man!  And yes, I'm still thinking of writing that letter. Though I'm not sure of why I never have. Maybe I wish not to bother him, maybe there's nothing left to be said, or maybe I wish not to be let down. I mean,  I'm sure he's heard it all a million times.

Either way my enthusiasm for him has never faltered and for some strange reason I still get tingly  seeing his pics.   Although I'm not sure if thats a good thing or not, but I think maybe it's filling a void within me. He is a silent reminder of something missing from my life. Something  I desperately wish to have back. 

Something careless, something fresh, somethng beautiful, something new

09:07 pm - Vaaacay!!!!!!!!

 

Going on vacation for a while! Eight or nine days I think??? Don't know if I will have internet access or not, which could suck!  My sorry laptop is broken down, Again!  Unfortunately I won't be back until after the sixth which is Geoffrey's birthday. Please let me find internet access on the sixth!!! I  would hate to miss wishing Geoffrey a Happy Birthday.

Oh well, I will miss my fellow rushies! 

Farewell, but only for a while.

10:22 pm - Spicks and Specks

                   
 
It's late at night again and here I am thinking about Geoffrey. I need a new hobby..... What am I saying Geoffrey is my hobby.! Too bad us rushies can't get paid for this, we'd be millionaires. But seriously, I have no idea what this whole Spicks and Specks show is all about but it really doesn't matter. All I needed to hear was " Weds" and  I'm getting all giddy just thinking about it. I guess it doesn't take much to make us rushies happy! Geoffrey in front of a camera means love. *sighs* 

Sometimes I wonder if Geoffrey really knows how much he means to a few of us dedicated fans. Probably not, if he did he'd bulk up on security! 

But all jokes aside, all us rushies need to say a prayer for rushysgirl DVD recorder! If this thing fails us it will be tears on Thursday morn!

03:49 pm - Chiquita, It's all down hill from here!

 

Poor Chiquita! Can you imagine what it's like being her these days??? I mean to know that at one time you were perched atop this great mans shoulders, that you spent hours listening to his velvet voice tickling your ears, that you wrapped your tail around his neck and hissed at those less fortunate. Those were the days!!! Now shes back with her old owners weeping while she eats her bananas.  Every now and then she can probably still smell the faint scent of his greatness left behind, reminding her of days past...... Let's just hope Geoffrey was kind and left her a medallion or something to remember him by. He probably said he would call but never did!!!!  MEN!

If I were her I would be praying for a POTC 4!!!!!

On a lighter note, when is this Spicks and Specks show coming on???  Soon I hope!  I haven't seen Geoffrey for a while and I'm starting to get the shakes. I need a fix!

Current Mood: calm

 It's late at night again and here I am doing random Geoffrey Rush searches. Is this what my life has come down too! I should be reading a book, meditating or pondering new ways to end the mid-east conflict.  You know, the usual stuff. It could be worse. I could be doing random Brad Pitt, George Clooney, etc. searches!  Thank God I haven't traveled down that bleak, hollow, mind numbing road.  If I do It's over!!! My descention into shamelessness will then be complete!

Geoffrey Quote
"I'd be a kumquat because it sounds tight and sexy"

Geoffrey answers the question of what kind of "fruit" he would be while interviewing Joseph Fiennes for the movie Shakespeare in Love.

What was on this man's  mind ???

09:13 pm - Geoffrey Sighting

Non fan-girl spots Geoffrey and has only nice things to say!.... (except for the "he's just an old man" comment)

So much for that radio girl/comedian/ex-brothel receptionist!  What does she know????

She was just pissed that Geoffrey's hair looked better than hers!  It's not easy having hair like this. It can stir up envy!

 http://ponikuta.blogspot.com/2008/03/celebrity-sightings-geoffrey-rush.html
(Notice the words she uses to describe Geoffrey are the same words we here time and time again.)

It's now official..... the man is a saint! 
Love him!

05:55 pm - Trees

 

Hello Ladies,

I was just telling Cate and geoffreyrushfan about a funny little article I had read a while ago. It's a quite humorous account of some of the happenings at the Toronto Film Festival. Notice how Geoffrey's name keeps popping up throughout this little tale, proudly told by the self-proclaimed "Party Girls"!  

Also notice the little part about the "Vodka"......Sounds like Geoffrey!
I love this man.

This is also around the same time that Geoffrey ran into that  tree........   

For some reason  you have to start at the last page and read backwards for this story to be in order. It doesn't make sense???

Most of the funny parts about Geoffrey are on the bottom of pages #3and #2
http://www.torontolife.com/features/party-report-2007/?pageno=6

Those damn trees are always getting into peoples ways!
