— Re-read Bridge to Terabithia<\/em> in a day this week. Cried all over again. What a wonderful book. The part where the father – who has been kind of cold and grumpy throughout – picks his boy up in his arms like a small baby … Okay, I’m crying now just typing this.<\/p>\n — I’m in 2 musical phases right now: Eartha Kitt and Metallica. (Metallica is usually a constant – so that’s not really a “phase” – but regardless, my lack of desire to listen to anybody other than Eartha Kitt (what??) and Metallica has become so strong that I have made a playlist of only alternating Eartha and Metallica songs. It has to be the weirdest playlist in history.)<\/p>\n — I’m gonna be working all day today and playing all night.<\/p>\n — This gesture of Dean Stockwell’s below. Sort of cupping his chin with his hand, one finger up over his face, smushing in the skin, a deep in thought gesture … It shows up in pretty much any picture he’s made. Gesture consistency throughout decades of life. Makes me wonder if I have any gesture that has not changed, that I have been doing since I was 7. He does it still (only now he usually has a cigar in the right hand).<\/p>\n Age 11, Gentlemans Agreement<\/em><\/p>\n Age 50-something, Quantum Leap<\/em><\/p>\n Maybe the hairline is different, maybe he has wrinkles now – but he pretty much looks exactly the same, as far as I’m concerned. Some people change drastically from their childhood face – you can barely tell it is them. Maybe cause he wasn’t a precocious actor-y mannered little kid – you know those little actor kids who seem like mini grownups and somehow unreal? Or like obnoxious little show-offs? He didn’t have that ever. He always seemed real, like a real little boy.<\/p>\n \nBut still – his face itself hasn’t changed. He is recognizably Dean Stockwell in that shot. <\/p>\n I am OCD about Stockwell right now. I am not embarrassed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" — A HUGE shoutout to Mark, for upgrading Movable Type for me. I owe you big-time.
