Hey, I've learned a new actor name! (Yup, fresh out of any kind of interesting news, sorry.)

I franly don't care much about celebrity names. (I get the occassional weird stare when I look blankly at people and have no idea who they are talking about.) But I remember names like Terence Hill, Bud Spencer, Whoopi Goldberg... because I loved their movies. I even remember Chuck Norris *shudder* because it always comes up in jokes but other than those... not much remains stuck in my head.

Oh, and of course there's Bloom, my dear friend's dream guy, and... well, there's Johnny Depp. But I prefer Captain Jack Sparrow, thanks very much.

...now that I've mentioned this many, I'm thinking I'm not that bad with names after all... heh...

But anyway, I looked up who played the hero (actually, it's on one of the piccies in the post before *headdesk*), Takezo Kensei. He really reminds me of Terence Hill.

Now I never really liked blond guys so don't get me wrong, but I have a soft spot for certain bad guys with that same smile Terence Hill has (Is he still alive? Will have to check...). I guess I've watched too many of his movies when I was a kid. ^^ But I'm pretty sure I never thought he was hot, just very very cute, like a kid. He has that really enthusiastic smile. I really like his smile.

But anyway, back to David Anders. I won't say he's hot. I'd be lying. But I find him really cute. Like a kid. And he also has that boyish grin. Actually, I think it's his grin and well, grimaces that caught me. I plan on sketching it sometime.

I used to draw with coal a lot. Not these days because I just don't feel like it and I have other things to do. But I used to draw faces and bodies and well, all kinds of inanimate objects as well.

I had a classmate in highschool, who was extremely ugly. But I loved his face. It gave him character, I guess. He looked like a mix between a frog and a wolf, with pumpkin teeth. You know, the kind that pumpkin heads have with lots of spaces between teeth. Well I loved to draw him too.

Well, it was so easy to draw him, and I really liked the feel of coal instead of graphite. Drawing was always an excuse to chill out. I remember we had this great group of totally insane artists in training. We were holed up in the castle district in a huge, airy, full of light old room on top of one of the castle buildings and created the silliest stuff. Ok, make that creative.

Like we used some goey glue and paint and whatnot to create old fashioned slides. Then we dug out our old crayons and drew only with a limited amount of colour, forming thought patterns and dream sequences in one, or used only letters to create a picture. I remember writing Poe to form a guy with his finger held in a shushing motion. Yep, those were the days...
