Heh
It's nice to be missed by your honey. Although I do kinda wish JJ would
stop hopping up on the bed and staring at us while we cuddle.
He's one of the most jealous felines I've ever met -- if Lyndon is cuddling
or kissing me anywhere in the apartment, it's a given that JJ will be
there seconds later, giving Lyndon the stinkeye and shouldering his way
in so that he's in petting range. I keep trying to explain that it would
never work out -- I'm a Leo, he's a Virgo, I'm five times larger than
he is, there's the whole neutered issue, etc. -- but he won't listen.
What can I say -- he loves me.
The
rest of the day was pretty much spent doing laundry, editing UG and diving
into Sir Ian Holm's autobiography, Acting
My Life. I've admired
the man for going on 30 years, now (and yes, there was more than a bit
of a crush for a large part of that time -- I can't help it, there's
something about him that I find utterly yummy), so it was fascinating
to read his take on things like performing at Stratford, ALIEN and the
LOTR movies.
Based on his comments about his various relationships, emotional quirks and need for structure, I also have to wonder if he's on the autistic spectrum somewhere at the very high functioning end -- not even Asperger's, but maybe really mild PDD-NOD. He comes across as a bemused stranger in his own life, which could explain why he works so well with Harold Pinter and why he's such a fabulous actor -- he's a human mirror, perfectly willing to submerge his own personality and reflect what the text and the director asks of him.
Interesting guy, even if he doesn't believe it, and I'd still like to meet him someday.
