; the little -details- xXx

after relentless campaigns and encouragements from close buddies like george clooney and brad pitt and picking himself up every year after failing again and again to reach that coveted throne, matt damon is finally PEOPLE's 2007 SEXIEST MAN ALIVE.



Oh yes, honey, with those blue eyes, those delicious good looks, that mischievous smile, that sense of humor, that 'suburban dad' thing going on... gosh, i can just go on and on and on and on about him. not mentioning he's so humble he can give george clooney and hugh laurie a run for their money on that departement.

he actually refused the title.

he wrote a letter to the editors of PEOPLE with lines like, "you just give a suburban dad the ego boost of a lifetime" and something about aging (oh come on, you know that people like him and george clooney, brad pitt, keanu reeves, blahdiblah get better with age; just like fine wine ;) (a majority of the alumni of people's sexiest men are also not on the young side)) and something about passing it this year and getting it next year instead, which only emphasize him being so humble it's at the point of "too-cute!", his sense of humor, his family-man-ness and thus, his sexiness.

so in the end, he's on the cover page, with the letter printed in this issue of PEOPLE (the november sexiest man alive issue, of course).

i know he is JUST the person to take the throne from george clooney. he's been joking about that for ages, george clooney and brad pitt have been 'endorsing' him ever since ocean's eleven (and that unfortunate event about the leather! ahaha). well, just as brad pitt posted a full page ad congratulating george with his second title as the sexiest man alive (complete with an old picture of george with a mullet)--george retaliated by showing brad's mullet pictures on a talkshow later on XD--i hope those two do something hilarious to celebrate matt's ascension to the throne.

i've been wanting to do a post about post exam activities (or lack of it) and the research camp i'm in right now (it's a blast), but i just feel so... uninspired. maybe next time XD but i'll just leave this beautiful, beautiful picture here for eye candy:



the beard is there to prevent us girls from melting due to high concentration of hot-ness. it barely works.

he doesn't make the list this year (i can't believe that brad pitt's in when he isn't -.-) but he's hauled in a barrage of titles just this year alone so yeahh, give others a chance =D

those two look just so good together, don't they? they got involved in 2001 and 2006, been good friends for ten years and they feel like they've been married for "28 years," renee says, and george corrects her something like this, "27 years; we lived together for the first year and there was a lot of fighting..."

the chemistry is still there! =D

i can't wait for michael clayton and leatherheads, although i'm not sure if i can watch the former despite turning sixteen in less than half a year's time.

--------------------------------

i've finished watching bones season 1 and 2 and wow i'm hooked. ahaha if i live in america, east coast, i'd be able to get my weekly fix of crime mystery and medical mystery two hours in a row on tuesday, fox, 8-10 pm. unfortunately (really really unfortunately =( ) for me, i don't live anywhere near there so i can't get to watch season 3 bones and season 4 house.

if the writer's strike is not ending soon, and all these dramas lose fresh episodes, they may be taken off air to accomodate 'america's next big band", "america's next big rapper", "america's next big singer" and all those reality shows. they keep on saying the finale season of scrubs is in danger of being unaired at all because of the strike! nooooooooo. =(

because we're in the subject of male eye candies and bones, i'd like to say that david boreanaz is hot.

i know that, really, and i feel a bit stupid that i need to say that because it's like so obvious. it's a fact. it's a truth. it's that kind of thing that goes without saying, like the fundamental laws of science. like the earth revolves around the sun. like the birds and the bees.

like george clooney is hot, david boreanaz is hot.

(yes, stef, he is)

david boreanaz shot to fame because he played the vampire angel in buffy, and then in the spin off series, angel. both series finished already, but you can still see him on the silver screen (oh, thank god) as special FBI agent seeley booth in bones.

i can't possibly describe his hotness in words, so:



okay, i can try: those soft dark brown hair and captivating chocolate eyes; that velvety voice that seems to wrap itself around you like a blanket. and those arms and chest... hoo boy!

nah that sentence doesn't really do his hotness justice.

and here's another eye candy from bones:



actor's name: tj thyne. character's name: dr jack hodgins. sole heir to an uberly wealthy group that apparently generates more GNP than europe combined annually, and yet having a 'secret life' working as an entemologist--or a 'bug and slime guy': expert (with three degrees) on bugs, spores and minerals. oh and he's a conspiracy theorist. and he's got those blue, blue eyes that are like magnetic pools that draw you in.

but anyway i watch bones not only because of the hot guys or the hot girls or whatever but also because of the great concept,  usually cool script and most importantly, the beyond great chemistry between the characters.

five things you need to know about bones, the series:

1. based very loosely on a book by a forensic anthropologist, kathy reichs--and also on her life as well.

2. a forensic anthropologist is different from a forensic pathologist (normally what you see on shows like CSI) that forensic anthropologist uses the bones of skeletal remains, decomposed/mutilated/charred/burnt/disfigured/blown up remains to identify the remains, determine cause of death and they are so good that they can even tell a story about the person's life just by looking at the bones. only about 100 of them exist in the world today and only about 50 or so who are active in field. usually, they do academia-based stuff, like research (being also an anthropologist, they do a lot of research on humans, which is always cool) but they usually help out on cases if needed.



3. dr temperance brennan is a forensic anthropologist working in the fictional jeffersonian institute who gets into a partnership with special agent seeley booth to work on cases involving remains which... dont look human most of the time (blown up, burnt, decomposed, blahdiblah). booth nicknames brennan 'bones' the first time he meets her because she works with bones and that name sticks. bones and booth first start out bickering and arguing about everything--booth wants her on his team to work on extreme cases where the remains cannot be identified by normal forensic team (and the next nearest forensic anthropologist, according to brennan, is in montreal) while bones use him to get out onto the field and out of the lab.

4. brennan doesn't own a tv (the last one she had was her ex boyfriend's, which she broke when he tried to sneak it out of her apartement) and therefore she leads a very 'secluded' life from normal pop cultures. the phrase 'i don't know what that means' is her trademark phrase whenever someone mentions something related to pop culture to her, for example, when booth says, "we're scully and mulder!". funnily enough, her being literal and seemingly having very little sense of humor--that at least 'normal people' can understand--does not seem to get in the way of her being a best seller novel writer, about a forensic anthropologist named kathy reichs and some fbi guy that booth believed to be himself, although brennan always denies this. then again, the sexual tension between the two of them is like a time bomb that's just waiting to explode and the chemistry between the two of them suggests that (of course) the both of them will have a happy ending.

5.the show is very addictive. (;

so what are you waiting for? go on, go watch it! =D
