Magical Moments Monday

So while I was driving last week, this huge and ridiculous smile spread across my face. Why? It was an absolutely gorgeous day, I was listening to one of my favorite bands on the radio and there was little to no traffic on the expressway. I got to thinking that the most simple things in life often go overlooked. However, oftentimes these overlooked moments are what makes life so magical. We tend to focus on the negative…well, maybe I should rephrase that. I tend to focus on the negative. I like to think that I am a pretty cheerful person, but I sometimes let myself get too overwhelmed with the seemingly bad or stressful. I won’t lie, this year has been a difficult one, but in the grand scheme of things: I am such a lucky girl.

Happy Birthday LOST!

via Tumblr

Six years today, Oceanic flight 815 crashed on a seemingly deserted island. Happy birthday to my most favorite show, LOST. Thank you for the wild & crazy ride <3

Happy Hump Day: Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa is all sorts of ridiculously good looking. I mean, his hotness is almost revolting. Almost. Although I’ve admired those revolting looks since the Stargate days, his role as Khal Drogo in HBO’s Game of Thrones really solidified my love. Although that role was short-lived (oh, Dany…why did you listen to that witch?), it looks like it is only the beginning for Mr. Momoa. Something tells me he is going to be a big star after Conan: The Barbarian‘s awesome opening weekend. I don’t think anyone with ovaries will be complaining. ;)

Happy Hump Day: Michael Pitt

Michael Pitt is the perfect balance of pretty boy and grunge rocker: sweet, boyish features paired with a fuck you attitude and a wardrobe that screams, “I may smell a little.” And that seems to have gotten him pretty far: he is doing great on HBO’s hit show, Boardwalk Empire, and stereotypically enough, he’s also the singer and guitarist in a band, Pagoda. He personally reminds me of the late, great Kurt Cobain, so it was no surprise that he played the 90’s grunge prince in Gus Van Sant’s Last Days – a movie that has been on my must-see list for far too long. He also has quite the collection of amazing photographs that I was lucky enough to stumble upon while scouring Tumblr. Make sure to check out the sampling under the cut!

Happy Hump Day: Francois Arnaud

This mister was another recommendation (thanks for all the tips, ladies!), and although I am not a huge fan of The Borgias (it’s a little too slow moving for me), I can totally appreciate a little Francois Arnaud, who plays Cesare Borgia. Unfortunately, he looks pretty ridiculous in what seems like a wig (?) on the show, and this paired with the ornate period wardrobe can really be a hump day downer. Thankfully, the Tumblrs pulled through with the following magnificent pictures. Adorable shaggy hair, current clothing, smoldering poses: downer no more, ladies!

Happy Hump Day: Charlie Hunnam

Apparently I am missing out on something serious by not watching FX’s Sons of Anarchy. I have several friends that are always raving about it on the Facebooks, but I figured it was some dude-like show that I wouldn’t get into (cue Spartacus – it’s just so ridiculous), being about an outlaw motorcycle club and all. That was, until one of those friends posted the photo above, and I saw exactly what I was missing: Charlie Hunnam. Are you joking me with this guy? Not only does he look like that, but he’s also British (that gives him quite a few more points in my book) – something like that comes packaged with an English accent? Definitely not fair. I see my Netflix working in overdrive in the very near future to catch up with all seasons. Anyone care to join?

Happy Hump Day: Elijah Wood

Sound the alarms, readers! I had not yet featured Elijah Wood on hump day! I know, I am pretty disappointed in myself. I know FX’s Wilfred just started last week (I hope you all watched – it was hilarious), and his role as Frodo will forever be remembered, but my love affair with Mr. Wood started way back. Namely, when I was a tween. Whenever I had a sick day, my mom always knew to bring me home an Elijah Wood movie home from Blockbuster. He then professed his love for The Smashing Pumpkins – my favorite band. And then came Lord of the Rings, my first true nerdy fandom. And it was basically sealed. I’m pretty sure we are destined to be BFF’s, so if you are out there, El Wood, let’s throw back some beers, take some lomo shots, and catch a secret Pumpkins show. Oh, and cuddle.

ps; whoever can state who took the picture above wins Melificent brownie points!

Happy Hump Day: Kit Harington

Today’s hump day was a request from my dear friend, Eli, but I have to say that I was definitely 100% in agreement. I actually first heard about Game of Thrones (the book series) at last year’s Comic Con when I incidentally started chatting up the owner of TheOneRing.net (yes, I’m that kind of dork) and he filled me in on the epic stories. I actually wrote the books’ information down in my iPhone and I will never forget him telling me that when I read them, I would want to thank him profusely. And although I barely have time to read anymore (but so desperately wish I did) and am only 1/4 of the way through the first book, I have to say that he was right. It’s a fabulous story, and one of the only ones that managed to be translated accurately into an equally kick ass TV series (I’m such a sucker for a good fantasy). I am totally and completely hooked. But I digress….how adorable is newcomer, Kit Harington, that plays the absolutely lovable bastard, Jon Snow? I find myself pretty mesmerized by his lips every time he is on screen. Aren’t they just perfect? I know quite a few girls that wouldn’t mind keeping you warm at the wall, Mr. Snow. ;)

Happy Hump Day: John Corbett

Carrie was a nutjob not to end up with Aidan. Sure, her and Big make more sense, but Aidan was just so perfect. Who would reject him? Crazy lady. Anywho, thankfully he’s decided to come back to TV on United States of Tara as the husband of a woman struggling with dissociative identity disorder. And for nearly 50, he is flippin’ hot, is he not? And the man is a staggering 6’5. With all these good looks, I have no idea why I couldn’t find more pictures of him online! It was a struggle to just find these that I included under the jump. Do I need to introduce the world to this man’s hotness? It’s all your fault, Bradshaw.

Happy Hump Day: Nigel Barker

Guilty pleasures. Everyone has them. And one of mine is America’s Next Top Model. Tyra is bonkers, the girls are a mess and Nigel Barker is pretty. What’s not to love? I honestly don’t know how poor Nigel has survived all these “cycles.” Half of the time, he looks like he wants to jump off a tall building and the other half, he looks as if he is fantasizing about strangling cast members. But, thankfully he remains, calm and composed, with that fabulous accent, dishing out advice (and sometimes scoldings) to models in training. Both Nigel and fellow ANTM personality, Miss J, seem to be going on tour to promote their books, so there is a chance you may be able to see their antics live. Jump on it, and remember to smize, ANTM fans!
