That's all I got. Working on your holiday requests and such. 8) Happy weekend, bbs.

Jim Breuer, one of my favorite comedians, conducted an interview with the band Metallica back in February. (Coincidentally, my favorite band as well.) One of the questions he asked them was, "If you were guaranteed to work with the best of the best actors, would you be ok playing a gay man in a movie role?"

To which Lars replies, without hesitation, "Full-blown gay? No problem."

I LOVE HOW JAMES IS SHIFTING UNCOMFORTABLY DURING HIS ENTIRE RESPONSE, BTW.

Also classic, James Hetfield's response to the question.

James: [CLEARLY UNCOMFORTABLE] Uhhhh. Eeeee. Do I get to choose who it is?

JB: NO. XD

James: No?! ...is it with Lars, then?

JB: It could be.

Lars: [places hand on James' knee] It's never too late.

I. Just. About. DIED. The full segment is here [link] if anyone is interested in the lulz. My only disappointment was that James ultimately said "no" to the question. XD Maybe he's afraid he'd be too good at the role, especially with Lars as his, uh, co-star.

What? You can't ignore two decades of subtext, dammit.

Okay, I'm done. LOL.

Ganked from ~Pitfalling because she is clearly made of awesome.

Hm. Paneling, some framed pictures, a scent satchet. Nothing much else.

OMG. Last night my dog was prancing down the hall toward my room. Me mum's room is right beside mine, and she was gone, so the lights were off and she left the door open. Havok puts the brakes on, stops dead and looks in the dark, open doorway, puts her ears up and starts wagging her tail as if there's someone in there, and it's someone she's glad to see. I grabbed a flowerpot and rushed in and turned the lights on. Nobody there.

Absolutely.
