Two years of Reeke and bearding has finally turned Jake's career and lifestyle into buckets of honey!

prairiegirl said...

Well, it's either going to be a long, bitter day on here today or it's going to be a tomb.

LJ ought to go back to being a tomb just when it was starting to emerge a bit.

And at least the boys didn't go for #3. We just had the Reeke pics and they didn't pre-empt it with themselves. At this point, it's about moot and it's really lifting the boulders to try & find anything positive in this, but just an observation.

"And at least the boys didn't go for #3. We just had the Reeke pics and they didn't pre-empt it with themselves."

Ok its early on a Monday morning but I don't get what your talking about, lol.

tr said...

Well, you knew that was going to happen right? She must be so happy to have found someone who will do the happy couple photo shoots with her. She was always so angry that people just assumed she and Ryan were not happy together without any real evidence and she could never get him to participate in presenting them as a the perfect family or the romantic couple.

How long said...

PR has decided that they must up their public PDA, but all of their PDA in these pics just looks forced. Jake's kissing her neck, but both his hands are in his lap. If they were lovers, his hands would have been around her. But TR, how long will Reese be happy doing pretending photo ops. Doesn't she want a real romance for herself? or is she just willing to settle for Reeke for another 2 to 3 years.

Dr. said...

I find it creepy and disturbing that one of the few pda efforts came with mom and the pr assistant looking on, not to mention two paps (good catch). Despite getting all the little detail wrong, jake looks like he is getting into it in a way that really makes me think the boy needs some serious couch time.

dlisted said...

Of course, Jakey Poo was there. He loves to squeal at wedding! I'm sure he made the purdiest little flower girl ever. Throwing flowers is really his true calling. Reese also tagged along, because someone had to be there to zip up Jakey's leotard and fluff his tutu before he skipped down the aisle.

prairiegirl said...

Good morning!

Yeah, it's still a good morning. Okay, I have to be quick because I’m at work. Actually, I couldn't be more pleased after seeing these. I know you all will study these a little further during the course of the day but I won't have that chance, so after perusing real quick, here's what we've got. PR, this is for you!!!1) Why are these pictures always released like this? Like it's North & South mini series. We have to wait 24 hrs for the next episode?

2) Jake can't even muster a good smile in these things. Mama G & Reese are up for it

3) I suppose the hand on the hip is supposed to be a bigger step than the hand on the knee but a backslide from the finger up the poopchute? Funny how Jake can't seem to uncurl his fingers on her hip and actually caress it. You blew that picture Big Time, Jake. That one was a dead giveaway.

4) Jake & Reese can't even seem to ride their bikes close together.

5) Hmm. Funny how we can get superb pics of Jake, Mama, and who is that escort? A cousin? Close Gyllenhaal family friend? Or...is it...another one of those such a close friend even though they're a Reeke business associate/escort
but we can't get superb shots of Reese with Maggie, Peter, & Jake.
Now, why is that????????

6) The big frontal, here we come bike picture? Jake can't even look proudly & elatedly into the camera. No, we've got the Ashamed look to the right(Jake's right for all those who are direction impaired), don't look at me posture.

7) Ditto with the laying on the (it's not even soft sand! That looks like unbelievable stone/concrete they're laying so blissfully on!!! LOL, my back, my back!!!) stone rocks. Hat Covering the Face. Speaks volumes, PR.

8)Why all the clothes changes? All the romantic sites in Italy and these 2 are just riding bikes? Grey pants in some, black pants in another. Taupe linen shorts in the first set.

Okay, that's all at first glance. The PDA is a horrible effort.

I have to remember to separate Reeke Jake from other times Jake. Because there are 2 Jakes, you know.

Just a couple things.

Lookit pic 29. Reese looks like she's grunting trying to get up into a standing position on that bike. I thought maybe they were on a hill, but they're on flat ground. You can tell she's struggling because she's got the butt kind of off the seat, but her elbows are way bent. I recognize this because my arms are weak, too, and this is how your arms go when they aren't strong enough to hold your body all the way up.
If not, lol, sorry Reese!! Misjudgement there. But that's sure in the heck what it looks like.

Special, did you see the KU Jayhawk shirt in one of the pics?? That's me!!!! I was there!
lol

No Papa G and possible prospective daughter in law? People may pick on Papa G, but seems like he needs to be given some props for not participating.

Congrats to Maggie & Peter and a big nod of acknowledgement at them for not giving in.

Why is Jake in layers (a sweater for gosh sakes) and everyone else is in short sleeves & T shirts? Another symbol of hiding. Hiding in the clothes. Keep piling it on, buddy, it won't help, tho.

One last suggest; Jake, don't subject New Balance to this kind of mockery of love. Go back to your Nike's. It hurts me to see my NB's worn on this trip.

PR, you can spin, write & re-write, photoshop & erase & patch up, collect all the inside sources you want, but the big fact remains:
You couldn't get the Big Shot, could you? The big one that would be the big Coup. The one that would seal the deal. The one that would Shout it out. The one that would just make that US Reekly cover. We're settling for second best. Runner up. 2nd place. Carob instead of chocolate.

I like what you said, Meg. Tell 'em!! We're still here. And let's see what you've got to release today. I'll stand corrected & eat crow if you can release something better today. I'm sure there are 999 more to be released today, aren't there?

Good catches Trip Trick and PG. If nothing else, we're become experts at detecting bullshit.

And speaking of BS, there was a story in the NYT this morning for a new gossip site I've never even heard of Wonderwall, that I guess has leaped to the top in number of hits and time spent on it. Anyway, they quoted someone from Jake's PR firm, who was crowing about the site, claiming it wasn't about the meanness out there on other sites, but about getting "fair" coverage. My take on that is that fair=not questioning PR's lies and fakery.

Out House, you're on the money and very funny. Dlisted also gave me a good laugh. Also liked your post GPS.

biker said...

Special the bike thing was interesting because that meant they had to stop and switch bikes at least once. Who does that? Why would Jake ride the girls bike with the basket for part of the ride? Reese couldn't keep up with him and his didn't care. Reese's bike was huge was that to make her look tinier?

Ass Covering said...

It is odd, which makes me think PR is trying to cover up for the "goof" of there being a man's bike in the pictures with Maggie and Peter. The only reason they could possibly care is that Austin really was there, and that was the bike he was using.

PR proving once again it can never leave anyything alone. Thanks PR for the confirmation.

Oh, and another thing I think you should know. I don't think OMG or WFT2 are going anywhere.

Wicked said...

***a backslide from the finger up the poopchute***

Girl, you are a mess!

pink said...

I'm really NOT bisexual

You didn't Know? said...

Mark my words, Jake will be marching down the aisle with Reese just in time for PoP next spring. Only question I have, will Austin be dumb enough to stand by and play best man?

^^^ YES!! ^^^

prairiegirl said...

LOL, yeah, I kind of phrased that wrong, Wicked, didn't I? Well, for what its original intent was, anyway.

;)

prairiegirl said...

Boy oh boy, the BB (big boss) burned up her Lean Cuisine lunch in the microwave not too long ago. My cubemate said smoke was coming out of the microwave & everything so she had to get up & turn it off. And there was just a slight delay, but pueeeeee!! LOLLL! Man, it stinks bigtime in here. It's like my popcorn burn-ups X 3, at least!! It's kinda funny because she's always giving everyone else a hard time whenever we've burned something up and then when she does it, no one says anything. And I fall all over myself, saying "Oh, it's alright. I've certainly done my share"

SUCK UPSSSS!!!!

lol

My little buddy once burned up her chocolate cookies in there so badly that the smell stayed in there until the next day. She was trying to get them nice, hot & soft like they were just out of the oven. She still ate them, too.

prairiegirl said...

Hey, is anyone else doing the Cinco de Mayo thing tomorrow? We are. BB is bringing chicken enchiladas, which I'm sure I won't be able to eat because she likes everything hot & spicy and T-Bell Mild is as hot as I can go.
I'm making a new recipe - Mexican Deviled Eggs. I have some decorations to bring, too. I don't even know what Cinco de Mayo is all about and I'm Mexican, lol. But it is good to have a Mexican themed lunch tomorrow.

press now said...

Do you mean wonderwall.msn.com? Gee that one should be independent and edgy! I think one of the reasons dlisted is so popular is it treats the subject matter with the care and depth it deserves!

prairiegirl said...

Notice I'm talking about anything else but.....

lol. Oh well. I'm spitting out the comments here like a machine gun.

My super just got back from going to the store, with her face all pinched up because it STINKS in here. So we all had to re-count the story and she said that she thought I burned my popcorn again. I said "Hey! It wasn't me this time, lol" Anyway, I guess the report back from the store is that they have everything that is pork on sale because no one is buying pork, due to the swine flu.

Funny post today, Special. I was able to take my time now and really read it. You & GPS are very good with the photoshop techniques. I'm jealous! I can't wait til I can try that someday. Right now, just trying to take a decent picture and get it into a story or something.

Well, People magazine.com has the big mention of who was at Maggie's wedding. Hmm. No matching picture of the famous couple attendees, tho.

OMG & WFT2 are like little thorns in PR's side after things like this - you know they wince when something is pointed out. Okay, gotta fix that next time. Except that this one was a biggie. This one wasn't a dress rehearsal, it was the real, formal affair, so you can't fix it for us now, it's too late.

prairiegirl said...

Okay, back to work now. This day is crazy.

LOL, the warehouse leadman just came up to have me print something. After he left, my cubemate said "Did you hear him? He was singing "Burning Down the House" .

Okay, take a deep breath & dive back in. Elinor, where are you? I'm counting on you to come visit today. I think it's going to be a lonely day.

Okay, well, clothespin on the nose & here it goes.

May 4 - J&R Depart From Brindisi Airport In Italy

Lella said...

Ass covering yes of course, they flew reese back and ask them all to take another bike ride so they could get the right pics. Either that, or they got the power to go back in time, or they possess a much more advanced version of Photoshop than what everyone else has. Wow, amazing! This site really provides some good entertainment.

PSA said...

Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) refers to influenza caused by those strains of influenza virus, called swine influenza virus (SIV), that usually infect pigs. Swine influenza is common in pigs in the midwestern United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy), Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia.

Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common and properly cooked pork poses no risk of infection. When transmitted, the virus does not always cause human influenza and often the only sign of infection is the presence of antibodies in the blood, detectable only by laboratory tests. When transmission results in influenza in a human, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine flu. However, only about fifty such transmissions have been recorded since the mid-20th Century, when identification of influenza subtypes became possible. Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.

The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as "swine flu", is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that contained many genetic elements normally found in swine influenza. The origin of this new strain is unknown, and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs. This strain can be transmitted from human to human, an ability attributed to an as-yet unidentified mutation. This 2009 H1N1 strain causes the normal symptoms of influenza.

destiny said...

Burning Down the House. LOL PG. I really love your lunch reports. Oddly we've never had any microwave incidents, and I would know because my office is a stone's throw away from the kitchen. And don't you just love it when bosses get caught doing the things they get on your case about.


It seems to me that just as things are really starting to change in this country, especially on the gay marriage front, and even with business booming at the box office, despite the economy, that HW seems to be in a reactionary, panicked state of mind. Seriously, does anyone care if Pink is bi? It's like watching the Republican Party, which doesn't seem to have a clue that the floor they are standing on is collapsing. changing.

Damn those Brindisi paps!

Special K said...

Actually having Reese in Italy before the wedding made it look like she was there already.

And to prove the point the Reese is driving the PR machine. Check out the lead from People.com for their front page.

"Maggie Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard Get Married

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are among the guests at the romantic wedding in Italy"
You'd think she would let Jake get the lead of the listing of names for his own sister's wedding.

Having her with an assistant in Italy, one phone call and quick flight down to Southern Italy is easy why to cover if something or someone got seen or slip that made it look like Austin was there.

PR may look hackneyed and amateur about some of the stunts they pull, but remember they are pros. Having her in the same country was their proactive CYA. And the departure at airport together makes it really look like she was a guest.

Man they both look thrilled at being together and spending the next 7 hours on a flight. Two bottles of Rescue Remedy on the rocks for the gentleman in first class. And the ear flight earplugs pronto.

And the person that is with them now on the outings, I say they finally got a script supervisor.
: )

Ass Covering said...

Llela/Evelyn:

I didn't say Reese flew all the way to take pictures to cover up for the previous day's mistake. She was clearly there to "prove" that she went to the wedding. But there was no reason to keep changing bikes and put her on something she could barely sit on, and that WAS to cover up for the previous day. Because when you lie and fabricate you're always going to have holes. And PR thinks that because people on certain sites will fill in those holes for them, they think they've patched up that hole in the ass of their pants, but they fogot they weren't wearing any pants to begin with.

Clergy Gather in DC to Lobby for Gay Rights

What does heatless mean with Ted? That Maggie is passionless, or cool?

destiny said...

It's nice to see clergy getting involved, I'm tired of the religious right co-opting these issues.

The California Supreme Court has to issue a decision on Prop. 8 within the next month, before the term ends. I've read some speculation that with the recent events in Iowa and N.H. that the court may be more inclined to overturn it, but it's still a tough battle I fear.

And PG, I'd love to know what's in those deviled eggs. One of my favorite foods. I usually try to get to a Mexican restaurant around now because they tend to run some interesting specials and it's an opportunity to eat things I normally couldn't get. But this week is kind of hectic for me, so I may not make it.

LOL said...

Look at Jake's big easy smile and his hand on the back of the man outside the glass at the airport, then look at the other 10 pics of him with Reese.

Reese's flared nostrils bitch face is the stuff of nightmares. Yeah, we get it, you're "annoyed" at being "caught" and "papped". Ugh, get over yourself.

Speaking of the man of mystery, I think he'd make a great Bond-like character. I can see him zipping around Italy in a red sports car, picking up babes, and hell, as long as we're fantasizing, picking up babes of both sexes.

I just watched a Bond double-header on TCM on Friday, Dr. No and From Russia with Love, so I have Bond on the brain. I don't think I've ever seen those two particular ones before. They were a lot of fun. They're having a double-header every Friday, working in chronological order.

prairiegirl said...

Hello!
Boy, the day started out great, then after lunch, it kind of went downhill.

My mexican deviled eggs aren't really anything too extravagant --oooh! I just noticed they have cheese in them. I didn't notice that before. They have shredded cheddar, sliced green onions, salsa, & sour cream in them, in addition to the usual mayo. Hmm, no mustard. This will be interesting - I've never made these before. And my eggs aren't going to really have time to get to room temperature because I still need to stop by the store & buy them. We shall see, we shall see...

LOL! Our acctg. mgr came up here this afternoon and the first thing she said on the way into the BB's office was sniff! sniff! "Did somebody burn something in here???"

I don't know why someone's always burning something. My lil' buddy is always doing it because she toasts everything. She likes everything toasted & she burns everything. Even at home. She's told some real humdinger of stories from cooking catastrophes at home, lol. I like to kid her all the time. I'll try to tell her something will be good just plain but no, she has to put it in the toaster.

Okay, off to try & walk. My pinched peroneal nerve thing just flared up this afternoon so I'm not sure how it's going to go.

Elinor said...

Good Afternoon you all,

I am late , it's already time to sleep for me lol, but it' was a long long long day !! My head is full of medieval architecture terms and is about to explode!

Then I had my choir repetition this evening , I wasn't really into it, either distracted or half fallen asleep lol , not serious!

Then I come to the news... and what do I see ????? the most horrible thing ever :

Jake's mother has as good taste as my cantakerous aunt for hats !!!
BUT my dear relative have a reason. she have to hid a prominent pink/violet hair, (I am not kidding alas).Her hair-dresser is a charlatan but she refuses to admit it of course, hope for her she will see the light on day LOL

( Ok I know what you think ,not kind from me to mock my Aunt but in same time if you knew her....)

My consolation:

Fortunately Brindisi's landscapes seem wonderful !!!


"Okay, take a deep breath & dive back in. Elinor, where are you? I'm counting on you to come visit today. I think it's going to be a lonely day. "


How I hear you PrairieGirl !!!!! so so so much happy to hear you!
Hope you have a good day , don't know if you re still at work or maybe on the way to home.
What a pity 7 hours separete us cause most of the time when you come here , I am about to go to bed. But today I couldn't go to sleep without posting and saying a little "hello"!

I am lightly disapointed thought, where is the mystery man with hat?? Maybe Special K is able to solve the enigma, I trust her!

Ok I wish you all the most beautiful dreams for the night to come and I wish the same for myself cause yesterdays night it wasn't really what I expected ( like always lol)

Meg said...

Okay, my stay away from OMG didn't last long, but had to come back after seeing those hilarious airport pics. Blimey, Reese really looks a happy bunny doesn't she. Maybe even she's beginning to realise that the fauxmance isn't really worth it, surely she'd rather be at home, enjoying her children's company, than trapising round Europe with someone who obviously doesn't really care that much for her. Maybe stardom and fame is such a fantastic prize that its worth missing you children growing up, who knows.

Particularly like that Jake, ever the gent, lets 'tiny' Reese struggle with that very large carry-on bag while he seems rather unemcumbered by a rather light rucksac. Don't you just love it when your boyfriend does that.

Can't say much about the now ever present hats, except to say, 'twats' and 'look like a right pair of' comes to mind.

Both these departure pics, and yesteday's rather awkward and frankly weird, "me, my girlfriend and mommy pics", convince me that Austin was somewhere in the background and this is the 'price' Jake has to pay. More I see of it, I keep thinking, whatever he was paid for PoP ($15 million ?) doesn't really seem enough.

Will probably be back fairly soon.

Special K said...

I think the man of mystery returned to the US yesterday, a day a head. There probably aren't that many flights out of Brindisi with connections that fit for schedules with minimal waits connecting to domestic flights in the US. He would have to go a day a head or a day after Jake and it would be more likely a day a head.

But I do have a question, how is it that Maggie Peter, Ramona, Jake Mom Dad and 30 some other guests got to Brindisi and not one picture of them. And people knew the wedding was in Italy. Yet Reese is the only one that gets papped before the wedding and in Milan.

And how did the paps get no pictures of any other person who was at the wedding leaving Brindisi? The had to go to the same airport. They only time the got a picture was again with Reese was there at the airport.

Meg said...

Special.. ever the world traveller, I've checked the flight schedule - Brindisi to LAX (sad I know). The quickest journey is an eye watering.... 19 hours. with two changes (Rome and Frankfurt, no-one seems to route via Milan interestingly).

My comments on this are:

You couldn't really choose a more awkward place to get to in Italy than Puglia;

and ..please for the love of God, let no mile high stories emerge.

it's got to be... said...

a private plane. Jake has more things in common with John Travolta than we suspected, evidently.

Meg said...

If you wer getting a private plane, why would you be checking in with Alitalia and the rest of the plebs. Surely the benefits of private jets is that you miss out the most difficult part of the journey, so you would either fly Brindisi to Frankfurt, and then schedule from there, or if you were really flashing it, you'd fly all the way. why would you check on to a normal commuter service, Brindisi to Rome (which is what I'm guessing) at a really small provinicial airport (we're not talking Heathrow Terminal Five here folks) and then get your private jet elsewhere.

charybdis said...

I'll admit that I haven't checked to see what the totality of photos taken of the Italy weekend was, what I've seen gives me the sense that there was a real focus on the part of the paps to document Reeke.

What I'm wondering is whether the photographers would have been at the event at all if they hadn't been asked to do some Reeke photodocumentation. Just a thought....

press now said...

You people are so mean to Reese, She travelled all the way across the Atlantic to some stupid little Podunk town in Italy in order to make it appear as if Maggie's and Peter's Marriage some how mattered to the world, and all you can do is make fun of her!

If it wasn't for Reese, Hollywood's highest paid cute and tiny actress, the Gyllenhaal's Wedding would have suffered in obscurity!

M Melmotte said...

oh that it had, press now, oh that it had.

flf said...

I think it would have caused a stir and a lot of questions would have been asked if Reese was not at the wedding. Whether she was at the wedding I don't know, but the photo op had to be done!
So we got a one day lying in the dust between momma and assistant, photo op and the departing ones.

Love your post, Special K about Austin's names!

GPS, it ain't a Golden Goose, it's a sitting duck! And no eggs are being laid, golden or otherwise. That's why Mommy dearest is wringing her hands so... :D

Pilot said...

Not really. John T is a certified 747 pilot. I can't imagine Jake knowing how to fly a paper plane let alone a 747 without his mother or Reese showing him how to do it.

prairiegirl said...

Meg, lol. I know - my breaks usually don't last very long either. But I'm so glad to see you back!

And dearest Elinor - I'm happy to see you. Usually, I can get on at lunch time but tonight, I have been kind of tied up. My pinched nerve did prevent me from walking tonight - sort of, I was doing good until something happened and after that, it hurt again but I'll spill that in a minute. So then I went to Price Chopper to get the ingredients for my eggs. And, plus, they were having a sale so I always end up wandering up & down every aisle and before I know it, more time has passed than I realize. I've been waiting on my eggs, which are cooling now. There were alot of them and it took them a long time to boil.
But, hey! I do have a day of Big V coming up on Friday, so Lord willing, I will be around at times on Friday. Big V meaning I have a day of vacation.

Anyway, as I was saying, tonight was a little unfortunate as I had finally reached my limit with Don, the guy who has been "stalking" me at my park. I thought I had finally gotten my message across because for the past 1 1/2 months, I have hardly seen him at all. But the last couple weekdays, he's been back. And last Friday, he really hacked me off because he was there when I arrived on Friday. He was just sitting in his truck with his bike in the back, so I was hoping maybe he was done. But no. I had parked in a different spot. When he's already there when I arrive, I always park as far away as I can in the same lot. I did not see him when I got to my car. So I pull out and as I'm leaving the parking lot, he came out of nowhere & passed in front of me. He had been in another part of the park and I feel he saw me walk to my car and timed it that way. I was furious!! Not to mention caught off guard, totally.

Then, today when I got there (and today I got there late), he was there again. And when I drove past his car from behind, he was looking back. I parked way down by the marina, away from him. Well, as soon as I started to walk, he left. I saw him coming my way along the waterfront, so I sat down on one of the big rocks along the lake, hoping to keep out of sight til he left. When he had gone, I got up (and that's when I pulled my pinched nerve again) and tried to walk awhile. Well, he drove around the lake, then turned around & here he came again! I knew I couldn't walk anymore anyway so I turned around to go back to my car. He went by and then drove to the entrance, turned around & came back my way again. Okay, that's it. I walked up the rocks & I stood there along the road & waited for him. I didn't know if he'd stop or not. He didn't but I shook my walking stick right at him & yelled at him that he needed to get a life. And you know what? He was grinning!!

That little weasel was grinning. So, I have concluded that I cannot walk there anymore if it's after work. I'm going to have to go somewhere else and just walk there on weekends when I am sure he won't be out there.

Wicked, I know you told me not to confront him, but I'd had enough. That's ridiculous. Why would someone do that? I don't understand at all.

PG - you need to be very careful!! Sadly it looks like you are going to have to find a new place to walk. And if you see him, following you other, you really need to contact the authorities right away.

Hi, guys. Yes it's me, up at 4:00am in Milan while adjusting to the time change. Getting caught up on all the pics and events. Once again, Reeke is foiled by body language. I did find the photo, #32at the moment on IHJ, with Jake between mom and Reese particularly interesting. Three deep,deep, creases in Jake's forehead. So much stress even a long lens can see them.

Our first day here was great, even if much of it was spent sleeping. My husband figured out he had been up 36 hours straight what with getting ready for the trip, flying and layovers. The time cooped up in a plane is a bitch.

GO EAST
By not exalting the talented you will cause the
people to cease from rivalry and contention.

By not prizing goods hard to get, you will cause
the people to cease from robbing and stealing.

By not displaying what is desirable, you will cause
the people's hearts to remain undisturbed.

Tao Teh Ching
-Lao Tzu


I have only just begun to read this work.
This is the beginning of the third chapter.

I have nothing really to say about it,
except that it has, in a very brief period,
already had quite an impact on the way I
treat people, myself, how I understand my
beliefs, concerns, and convictions.

The way I organize my life, or un-organize it,
the way I hurl myself through space, or just
let myself be hurled.

I think everyone could take away something
from this writing. :)

Hi m!!!! What - you're in Milan? Isn't that where Reese was photo'd? lol, you didn't see her big, colorful luggage bag, did you?

Glad to hear from you - stay safe, m!

Yeah, I know, Special. Unfortunately. At least during the week, I am. On weekends, I know I'm safe Sundays early before I go to first service. On Saturdays, I try to take off Saturdays. So I'll walk down the road, at least for awhile til I think he's given up. And if he shows up, I'm going to call the park police.

He's convinced me now that he's a loon. I have no idea what I could've possibly done to bring all this on. It's totally unreal.

Well, the eggs are done! Finally! And I lost two. The inside filling tastes pretty darn good, too.

Special, you brought up excellent points regarding the lack of pap photos of everyone else. Hmmm. Fancy that, huh? No cameras catching anyone else. She's shameless, really.

And I have got to say, I almost wish I was Jake & Austin's dogsitter, lol. Man, I'd be raking in the bucks. They'd have to build me a carriage house in the back - might as well have the mail switched, too. That poor Atticus must have to sniff at Jake when he gets home, anymore, just to reacquaint himself with his scent.
Poor Atticus.

prairiegirl said...

Okay, well, time to head for the ol' room. Hope everyone has sweet dreams - no dreams of wolfmen and coyotes, lol. Or smashing bugs.

destiny said...

Lucky dog Atticus.

PG, I'm glad to hear you're going to change your routine. It really worries me to hear stories like this. And I hope you've taken down all the information you can about him, and passed it on to a friend. My sister has a good friend who likes to go hiking on her own in the woods, etc., and she always lets my sister know when and where she is going, when she's expected back, etc.

Nice to see so many people here tonight in addition to the diehard posters: flf, Press Now, Meg, Elinor, Charybydis,

destiny said...

PG, there is absolutely nothing you have "done" to bring this on. This guy clearly has problems, and unfortunately you were just in the place and time to intersect with him.

LOL Reeke IHJ pics arriving at LAX. Funny how whereever Reese goes, paps follow.

Jung said...

Do you think Jake will just head straight to the Medical Centre for a session, or will he manage to go home and change first.

Freud said...

Interesting that you use the words "straight, change and head" when inquiring about Jake's therapy status, verrry interesting. *puffs on cigar*

After seven years together, indie film heroes Maggie Gyllenhaal, 31, and Peter Sarsgaard, 38, finally tied the knot Saturday at the (convenient) chapel inside the posh hotel Masseria in Brindisi, Italy.

Guests included Peter's bff (and Maggie's bro) Jake Gyllenhaal and his gf, Reese Witherspoon. Jake and Reese, who became engaged in April 2006, have a 2-year-old girl, Ramona.

LOL

I'm so disgusted that the news about Maggie's wedding has been turned into news about Reese attending. Now even Maggie's daughter is theirs. The wedding Reeking has completely turned me off Jake. I don't see anything I like at the moment. And the damn hats!!

Luckily JFC started in Finland a few weeks ago and I'm surprised to see I really like the show. I had only seen the first episode and thought it was ok but the series really kicks off in second episode. Yay!

Wicked said...

PG, you need to stay out of the park. I think also you should always walk carrying a cell phone, just in case something happens. And for everyone who keeps saying to call police, they can't do anything. So far, this guy has done nothing wrong except be in the same place as PG. He is allowed to do this. Police will not get involved in it. PG, you need to keep yourself safe.

prairiegirl said...

I'm going to go by there one more time today & hope he is out there because I'm going to stop behind him & take down his license plate so he can see me doing it. Then I'll drive off & head to this other park that's closer to me.

I'll be careful. But I want his license plate. I can't beleve I've not thought to take it down.

Anyway, it angers me that I have to leave my beloved park that I've walked in for over 20 years all because of him. But anyway, I have to go. We have some kind of meeting this morning and I signed up for the 7am one this morning. Ack!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Special, can you check your email today? I sent you a very important message. And now, a message from your sponsor.....

nah, it's nothing tragic - just a heads up!

Good morning to everyone & thanks for your caring. He's an idiot, isn't he? What a waste of time & life he's doing.

prairiegirl said...

Hi hopeful!!!!

(((hopeful)))) I know, it's rough, isn't it.

hopeful tb said...

Thanks (((PG))) and take care of yourself! The guy is obviously looking for a reaction, any reaction. Staying away at least for a while might cool things down or persistently ignoring him.

charybdis said...

Very nice, Press Now. I think you've got the talking points just right. :)

Wicked said...

I think having his license plate number is a really good idea. Just be careful doing it, PG.

destiny said...

See if you can take someone with you PG. He could be frightened off if he sees you doing it, or he could get angry and it could get ugly.

And check in with us so we know you're okay.
