My other current cheery place ...

And one that may be more suitable for those who fear or dislike cats, is the work of Tim Minchin. Minchin is an Australian comedian/musician, and I find him hilarious. Those of you living in London are lucky, as he lives there these days, but he is often to be found at comedy festivals around the world. He is interesting, smart, sort of oddly hot (and there's a great story behind that), and a genuinely nice guy.

This is his website, where you can check out upcoming gigs and download some of his routines.

This is one of my fave routines of his, alas, sound only this time. A word of warning: if you are a trippy hippie who believes that facts are just opinions, you will be offended by this. However, if you are a trippy hippie who believes such things, since you clearly enjoy being offended after hanging around my lj all the time, go for it (and also, you kinky little masochist, you! Nicely snuck past the keeper, there! (oh god, football metaphors, kill me now ...))

There's a documentary made about him, Rock and Roll Nerd, in which you see him before: short curly hair, heftier frame, normal clothes, no make-up. He is advised that, since he clearly has talent, if he has a hotter look, success will come. So he diets and hits the gym, grows and straightens his hair, and adopts a streetwise style. The rest you can see for yourself!

Mmm. I'd have to say he's "interesting" rather than clearly hot. Love his mind though. As opposed to "Jim Kirk" in the latest Star Trek movie which I just caught, who was impossibly hot. And a complete Gryffindor...

Yes, I'd not go him, but hot is clearly the goal of his makeover.

I'd not shag Kirk, either, but I would watch him throwing himself at all my young friends with amusement. And you are quite right: ABSOLUTELY a Gryffindor!
