Greek God? Or Geek Squad?

What they didn't show you was that Halle Berry blew projectile vomit all over the front row of the audience right after this picture was taken. SEE? She's getting ready.

I felt so sorry for her when he planted that huge disgusting kiss on her at the Academy Awards years ago.

I don't find Adrien Brody attractive. He's scared me in a couple of movies, when he played complete psychos, so I'm sure that hasn't helped his sex appeal factor with me. I think he's a fine actor, I just don't want to kiss him. And I'm sure that he doesn't want to kiss me either...At least the last time I checked he didn't.

Saturday night our friend Rave Dogg came over for some pizza and wine. We hadn't seen her at all over the holidays, she was out of town, so we had a lot of catching up to do. It was a low-key evening, which was certainly welcome after the hussle and bussle of the season.

In the background, Will was flipping through some channels; Animal House, then the most recent King Kong - which starred Adrien Brody. I was in the kitchen fetching the wine when I heard Rave Dogg say, "Oh, isn't that...umm...what's his name?"

Will responded: "Adrien Brody."

Rave Dogg: "Oh yeah, that's him."

And then I chimed in: "He kind of freaks me out. I don't find him...um...he's really odd looking...no?"

Rave Dogg: "Yeah, me too. He IS really odd looking."

Will: "I happen to think he's hot."

Me: "Hot? Hot?"

Will: "Yeah, he reminds me of you."

**Rave Dogg bursts into laughter**

Me: "WHAT??? OH...let me guess...the nose. His big nose and ominous nostrils remind you of me."

Will: "Yeah...that, and..."

Me: "And...what?

Will: "I just like geeky guys with big noses. I think they're hot."

**Silence**

Me (I feel my upper lip curl and my nose crinkle (apparently my GIANT nose), dragging my forehead into a frown): "Great...So, it's not just the nose. I'm also a geek. Thanks a lot."

More laughter comes from the living room: "HAHAHA! HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!!!"

And my self-image turned yet another corner. And I poured more wine.
