Birds of a Feather .....

HB: Austin, what is your power animal?

AN: A seagull.

HB: Why?

AN: Because it’s bones are hollow…. Like me. [laughs]

HB: [gasps] That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard!

[cut to Austin running on the beach, chasing seagulls]
AN: [approaching camera] Those are my power animals.


Puzzled that Austin says his power animal is a seagull? Well, it kinda makes sense

Technically there are no such thing as a seagull, there just Gulls, birds that hang around near coastal bodies of water, and a bird bird bird bird is the word, (sorry got a little carried away) is an animal by kingdom, ok, but usually not the first thing to pop in your head when you say name an animal.

So living on the coast for a long time, I've learned a lot about seagulls.

First off they hang at beach a lot (can see that)

They don't just hang out at the beach, they hang wherever they want to, the weather vane on top of the Post Office, the top of the Methodist Church, but the weird thing is they rarely swoop in the business district. They kind of hang out and just where you don't noticed them too much, you see them, you know there but you leave at that. (Hmmm, well that makes sense.)

They can do good things and they can be really really bad. Going after Rachael Ray as she's filming a segment trying to eat a Kelly's Roast Beef on the North Shore- (good) attacking blondes (Tippi Hendren)- (I want to say bad, but....)

They dive bombing and steal. Try eating after you get your food from a clamshack, and those damn birds are everywhere. (Moochers)

They are "resourceful, inquisitive and highly intelligent birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure" - is that what that noise is -disussion over who's getting the sesame bagel (ok, I can see that)

The cartoon versions are always funnier. (that's one to see)

The further inland you see seagulls, tells you if you are headed for bad weather.

They're carnivores and will eat anything that even on a dare.

Now think Austin was thinking about this when he said seagull:



Definitely not this:

maybe not caught in this mob:



Or this, too 70's :

But can totally see this:


And this:

You know that shirt looks like something he might have picked out



maybe they were looking at a gull.


Birds have freedom they can go anywhere, there is nothing holding them down

They can soar as high as their wings can take them and never fall,

They can fly as far as they want to, but some how they always know the way back home

And sometimes a goose, can look like a gull.





"All limits are self imposed. "
Icarus


Thanks Nicole T for the transcript


But just one word of caution Austin, if you are like your power animal, I would lay off the alka seltzer cause sea gulls and the tablets that make plop plop fizz fizz aren't a relief it is to a seagull... more like tick tick boom.

So, did anyone catch Ted today. "Considering I've been told Jake's voice sounds like "a high-pitched woman" when he tries to pull off the accent, I would say yes. But let's wait and see." in response to how he thinks POP will do. Does not sound too promising.

I have lots to say about some of yesterdays comments but I'm late for work as usual so will chime in tonight.

Dear Ted:
I don't hate Reese Witherspoon. I don't go into the comments sections of gossip sites and call her names or denigrate her talent. I wish her well, I really do. But she is surely pissing me off. Just when her ex has a new movie in release she gets into interview mode and starts yakking about how traumatic her divorce was. So she fills the Internet search engines with her name if you look up his name. Just had to say it.

Love the song choice today. Good one, Spesh.

I still don't understand what Austin finds appealing about hollow bones. They make you lighter, maybe? It's interesting.

Special K said...

I remember both those necklaces, and I like that they both are drawn to birds and that imagery. And that they keep those things like close to them, like a talisman.

And remember when Jake said in an interview when he was little he wanted to be a bird.

I'd really love to know what he meant about having hollow bones too. Of course he could just be talking off the top of his head.

In addition to everything else you've said about gulls in the post today, I always think of the noise they make as sounding like they are laughing or mocking.

I worry about PoP, I always thought the risks seemed greater than the rewards, and you throw in the bearding on top of that..... I assume it will be at Comic Con, and if so we'll get an idea of what people think of it.

Anonymous said...

I sort of think as Austin was on a beach surrounded by seagulls he may have just said the first thing that came into his head. Then again, there does seem to be a 'bird' theme running through alot of Jake / Austin things isn't there.

destiny said...

I didn't mean to imply I think he just picked a seagull off the top of his head, but rather the why. I think the boys probably do like birds, but Austin wanted to give a quirky answer as to why. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if it was from something he read.

I can't let this one pass. So are we to believe that sister Maggie & Peter S. flew across the U.S. to California for Reese's 33rd birthday party, according to that link given this morning. Courtesy of US Weekly. I'd like to see proof of this. US Reekly better not be spinning tales - that one would not be a good one to get caught in.

And who would mention to them what specific songs were played? Was a rep of theirs invited to the party?

Hey! What a goonhead I am. I looked out the window at lunchtime today & thought it was snowing. LOLLLL!! It wasn't snow. It was blooms off of the bradford pear trees in front of our plant. The girls corrected me. It's 67 degrees outside!! LOLLLL! What a duncehead I am. And we're having 42 mph windgusts, that's why they're blowing like crazy.

I got it - maybe Austin means Jake has an albatross around his neck now, from all the reeking and faking? It may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but now he's stuck with it for the long haul? But Austin is as free as a bird! ;)

Special K said...

Maggie fan just showed that Maggie and Peter were photographed in LA. And I saw Maggie on TMZ on St. Patrick's day walking down Bedfore in Beverly Hills.

So people know there out there, so why not use it. It would be easy to include them in the write up about a birthday and get that thing about Maggie and Reese, and Jake's family involved.

Remember US Weekly used Maggie in a puff piece about Reese and the necklace, remember? It's easier to write it up than get a picture.

And if it didn't happen, they can just say, that the person who told them just got it mixed up who was there. And no pictures helps if that happens.

destiny said...

LOL Ancient Mariner.

US/PR knows Maggie and Peter are in LA, so they had to add their names to the guest list for the phoney birthday party. Doesn't mean there was a party or that Maggie and Peter attended if there was one. What's Maggie going to do, rat on her brother and say she wasn't there? Same with RDJ and his wife, they were "safe" to use.

destiny said...

Jinx Special. :-D

For all we know Maggie and Peter have left, and if not, I'm betting they have work-related reasons to be there or they would have gotten out of Dodge before the birthday. And funny how they were there while Jake was off "working" in Europe.

Special K said...

I just find the connection of Austin's title card on JFC, the birds that Jake wears, the necklaces both have and his answer like strong fibers woven, cleaving their lives together.

Me too! I love them on The Amazing Race.
The current season again features several strong, likable gay contestants, but this time we’re getting a compelling illustration of parent-child dynamics. Gay writer and activist Rev. Dr. Mel White and his son, screenwriter/actor/producer Mike White (who is himself bisexual), and the mother-son team of Margaret and Luke (who is openly gay on his Facebook profile), are all playing a remarkably strong game and have emerged as clear fan favorites.

Or maybe a further layer in the Reeking. However, it all seems to have got Jake a little over excited.

excited Jake

something that never happens when he's coffee running with Reese.

Special K said...

I like Mike White, Freaks & Geeks School of Rock and he and his dad are great on The Amazing Race.

I forgot he was in The Good Girl with Jake. And he was a writer and producer on the series Pasadena that Austin did a few episodes on.

Did anyone see Chuck & Buck?

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah he's excited. When do we ever get to see THAT? And it happened FAST if you look at the pix walking right before. The touch of a man..

Maggie and Peter in LA on March 14 and 17th is a long way from the 21st IMO.

The BD story is brilliant. No pix, sounds intimate, feeds Jake's love of cooking and home parties, brings in family members, RDJ, Ramona, other unnamed friends, but most of all no pix.

The problems with it: at Jake's house, no Ava and Deacon, Saturday night bash, R had to be at LA MvA premiere by 11 am next morning(and we all know she had 2-3 hours of hair/makeup prior).

Jake's house? Someone said he leases it and the owner has it for sale? What owner has a house for sale but still lets tenant and furniture stay while showing the house to prospects?

If Jake has been leasing his home he is a smart boy. If he bought it he is probably going to loose money on it.

The sale can be on condition of x months for the leaser to vacate and I can't imagine it would be too difficult in this market to find another place to lease.

I just watched the Amazing Race last night to see Mike and his dad, and because they were in India, so funny to see him with Jake today. I'm not generally a fan of realty shows, but that is one I could get into watching.

Mike White also wrote The Good Girl, as well as writing and directing Year of the Dog, which Peter S. was in.

And Jake certainly does look excited.

Interesting pictures. lol.
Nice to see Jake having a good time having lunch out. I think it's hilarious how he never looks half this animated when he's dining with Reese in windows.

How do you guys know all these people? I wouldn't have known this kid/guy from my next door neighbors. Nor would I have known Maggie was in California recently. Do you all have alerts constantly popping up in your email?

I still don't believe this b-day party story. I smell some untruth & fabrication. Playing card list. Give me a break. Then where're the camera phone pics? Okay, enough of that. I've said my piece.

We're supposed to have some stormy weather tonight. Possible tornados & hail. Snow. LOLLL! I'm still shaking my head at that. I thought it was snowing and it's 67 degrees.

Okay, I need to cook a couple of chicken breasts. Gonna try a new recipe for snack day tomorrow. We're celebrating 2 dept. birthdays tomorrow and I'm going to make chicken enchilada dip. Got it from my tried & true Taste of Home website. Sounds like a can't miss.

I had chicken for lunch and a turkey sandwich for dinner, but then I usually eat only fowl or vegetarian.

I had a great lunch today. I had a Chicken/broccoli teriyaki wrap. The wrap was a tomato basil wrap. It was awesome.

PG that blue shirt that Jake is wearing is the one I was talking about a few months ago. That is my favorite all time shirt that he has worn.. I am so glad Spesh posted it. I love it. I want one.


It certainly is fun seeing Jake out with his friends. He does look like he is having a really good time.

Boy, that wrap sounds good, Tom. I had yogurt. Pheasant flavored.

Aw, you know I'm kidding. The Henny Penny breasts are a'cookin'. I have to shred them for this dip. It's the hardest, timeliest thing about this whole recipe. The rest of it is throw together & nuke it. Welllll, come to think of it, I think I need to be fine chopping some celery. I better get to it.

10 more days and I will be in the air headed for the big DC. I need to get an empty Cheez It box, flatten it out & tape a hitchhiker's thumb to the front of it so Wicked can spot me. And then I will meet the whole Wicked clan. I'm very excited as you can tell. I can't wait to pet Tink & Potter. And the bunnies if they'll let me.

Lol, the Henny Penny breasts are long done. That's how long I take to put together a comment. lol

Anonymous said...

In my opinion, Jake suddenly allowing himself to be seen with other people and potential gay comments-Austin and today Mike White-is just Reeke PR branching out. After 2 years of getting Jake only with Reese and rarely alone, we get Jake with other people and no Reese around. And not only other people, but people who would raise the Jake is gay chant. But Reeke PR is probably trying to prove the point that Jake is still with Reese so he couldn't possibly be anything other than straight. If you notice, whenever we get Jake alone with another guy, we then get a Reeke pap blitz. To bad Jake gives himself away. In the pics with Austin he has a calm smile and in the pics from today, little Jake is trying to peek out. Guess you can put on the fake photo ops but you can't take the real man out of the fake one Reeke PR is trying so hard to create.

I know it`s not the subject now, but i think you will never be out in hollywood.
Ok, you can choose to beard. You can choose one woman or a man to protect you.
You can choose not to lie and not to beard, just not telling the whole truth.
nr.1 and nr.2 have the same goal, it`s just a difference of how far they will go giving up private stuff.
Nr.3 is the one who is out. I just find it strange when he is, he spends a lot more time trying to tell people he get`s a boner while watching an episode that`s including him and a girl, than he tries mentioning his boyfriend in a natural sentence in an interview.
Ok, Neil has included his boyfriend from time to time, but not more than he`s adored cobie smulder`s body, and how he likes to tell the world he adores her and so on.
I just feel, after reading several interviews of him, he`s not really out!
I can`t see him as really out as long as he speaks of Cobie in the sexy way...while he`s boyfriend is waiting pationtly two steps behind ...about always!Just my opinion.

I see TR Knight as totally out, no doubt about that. Neil's talked about being out, though, hasn't he? And he has a guy, right? Haven't they been pictured together?

Anonymous said...

Oh my, it's lovely to see a real smile on Jake's face again. Not an Austin smile of course, but a real smile nonetheless. Have not seen one of those with you know who, ever.

Prairie Girl, not sure what you are referring to re live journal. There is an author who dumped a bunch of friends. That annoys the hell out of me. Who has time to comment on every story they read. Anyway, it took me about 1 year to breakdown and get friended for locked journals in the first place, that's how much I hate the whole process.

I also thought it was good that Jake let it be known he still has his own place. I never doubted that for a minute. He slips info out, despite the bearding contract.

Boy, that wind is just a blowin' out there. Special, I see you are having some really cold temps. 24 degrees!! Phew! That is not good.

Hey, Special, have you ever done an Out Spotlight on Malcolm Gets? He's an actor. The reason I say that is because I recently bought Caroline In The City, Season 1 on dvd. I loved that show; it was funny. And anyway, I was doing some reading on the internet because when dogsitting a good while back, I happened to see him in a movie on LOGO. And I didn't know he was gay. I kind of thought maybe.... when I was watching the show long ago, but I never thought anymore about it because he disappeared out of sight. Turns out he's doing alot of Broadway and I think he sings alot. I was reading an interview on a website that he did and he was talking about coming out. How it has affected his career. I don't know what the criteria is for Spotlights; I'm sure he wasn't out at the time Caroline in the City was on TV; I don't know exactly when he did. I just liked the way he talked about it all. Anyway, just a little tip in case you ever need a subject.

I need to shoot off an important email to an LJ writer. m, where are you tonight? Are you entertaining guests again? Anyway, I happened to stumble upon this writer's story and the last time she had written a chapter was in 2006. 3 years ago!! Oh, I was devestated where the story was left hanging. So I emailed her and could not believe it, heard back from her. She's had some pretty rough RL experiences that I can relate to. Anyway, she is working on it again and she did something for me that is just stupifying. I'm just flabbergasted. And so I need to take proper time & write back. It's just so cool. I love talking to people this way. I mean, what are the odds? That you can connect like that?

I wanted to ask something. Those pictures of Jane Addams yesterday. I loved those pictures. I love pictures from Victorian times. Has anybody else ever wondered what colors those dresses really were? Everytime you see these old, old pictures, of course they're always black. They look like black taffeta or something. But you know it's just because the pics are in black/white. And I wonder what the dresses really looked like? I know, it's kind of stupid & a timewaster. oh well.

Okay, well, cats & jammers, it's time to finish my dip. The microwave dinged about 10 min. ago and I'm supposed to nuke it again. This recipe is supposed to take probably 10 min. and it's taken me all night. lol. hmmm, oh wellll. snicker.

m!!!! There you are! I know. I think a couple of writers have done that. It is annoying. I've had a couple of interesting things happen in that community lately. But I can't talk about them too much because I have to protect my identity on there now.

It seems to me that the best way to fight people who are trashing your boyfriend is to show people how proud you are of your boyfriend and how much he means to you.

You show people why you fell for him, and fight for him. You don't turn your tail and run.

Jake hiding his relationship with Austin and avoiding being seen with Austin, among other things, only validates those comments that Austin is not good enough for Jake.

In addition to engaging in homophobic behavior, every time Jake is seen with Reese he is telling the world that they're right, Austin isn't high enough on the HW chain to be with Jake, not talented enough, not good looking enough, not smart enough for Jake. Only an A-list, Oscar winning woman is good enough for our Jake.

Honestly, I don't see how Austin stands it, even knowing that Jake doesn't really feel that way deep down in his heart.

destiny said...

Now that I've posted, I realize that comment was directed at criticism of Jake, I've confused it with a another comment about protecting Austin from nasty comments on the internet. Well, I'm still going to let my post stand anyway, because that is what I think Jake has been doing with regards to Austin when it comes to the world out there, however unintentional that may have been. So I think my criticism of Jake pales in comparison to what he has been doing to Austin.

I never thought about it this way explicitly before, but the image Reeke is trying to create is as much about class as it is homophobia, the closet, and bearding.

Anonymous said...

destiny both your comments were beautiful and true.

Ok, one last point, then I really am going to bed. There is a difference between criticizing someone's behavior, which they can change, and which is what I've been doing with Jake, and making nasty, hurtful, personal attacks against a person.

All limits are self-imposed.

The structural limitations to flight are primarily weight and strength. Hollow bones, being lighter, make it easier for birds to fly. Coincidentally, hollow cylinders are also structurally stronger than solid ones. These are the two reasons why wings of an airplane have an internal honeycomb-like structure.

Criticisms of any kind are usually ignored while postulating laws of physics for obvious reasons. The limitations on whether a structure will fly or not are, therefore, only self-imposed.

No wonder, then, lighter and stronger souls are always harder to catch up with.

I dozed off during OTH, but woke up and replayed it. Did I really hear the director (sorry I dont know the other actor's name) refer to Austin and Chad Michael Murray as two homos sitting in the park? Also Austin made a reference to his large endowment. Yes, I replayed it twice.

My husband watched a bit tonight too and commented how good Austin looks. He noted he is maturing quite nicely, looking more manly.
