Good Things about November

Like today, what makes the third Thursday of November so special? It's the day France's beaujolais nouveau,the first wine of the season in the northern hemisphere is released. It's vinified quickly and gently which creates a light-bodied, unserious, very fruity red wine from the gamay grapes. Traditionally, the bistros of Paris used everything from motorcycles to airships/blimps to be the first to bring up the new wine from the Beaujolais region of southeast France. Today it happens worldwide.

And the fourth Thursday in November? It's Thanksgiving for some us. A day that bring family and friends together. Time reflective and give thanks for all the good things, good friends and blessings that have happened over the past year. It's the Pilgrims and Parades, and football games. Too have turkey (for some of us) and all the trimmings, and for most us too much pie.

And there's just one more thing about November that's special.

It was November 2001 when The Day After Tomorrow started it 5 month shoot in Montreal. Which means 8 years of Jake and Austin. Kinda makes you stop and think doesn't it.



It's been said that it was a instant thing and if you think about it and look at Jake's birthday pictures in mid December, a lot of time didn't past and you already find Austin close.



And from those pictures to the lastest one's this past spring, Austin's consistent, sending out those, he's mine vibe same with Jake and that one smile that just shines.


Funny how bike rides happen in November too, remember?

New Clip from Brothers

HiFlix.com

It's of Natalie and Carey Mulligan, who plays another wife in the neighborhood.

Mulligan stars in An Education with Peter, which she Peter and the movie are all getting great buzz for Oscar.

They are also running new commercials for Brothers. Cut to really highlight Natalie turning to Jake and setting up the conflict and the triangle more.

IHJ has the color scan of Jake's ad for New Eyes for the Needy, and it even better in color.

IHJ

Jake's got some thick lenses there, he's definitely got mine beat. If's he's not careful those things could burn up ants.

derp derp! said...

duh! said...

Yes, those are Jake's legs. You don't need 20/20 vision to see that.


Exactly, we recovered DNA from those stiletos, and compared it to a cheek swab that was taken from baby tile, and hey presto...we have a match. The evidence is irrefutable.

Anyone who dissents is a babbling trolly

Jake is Gay. Jake and Austin were or are lovers. reeke is a manufactured product. Jake is a fake and has no soul. Maybe he will be a man someday and stop acting like a fool. Those are a mans legs.

Damn Yankees will make Jake a star again. It is a movie he has to make. I feel it.

You know, I was thinking about those Laker pictures tonight while sitting in the Great Clips chair.

You look at all the pictures we've seen of Jake in the past 3 years. He has not looked as goofy in love as he did in those Laker pictures with Austin, I am sorry. It's as plain to me as day and night.

Surely everyone has been in love. And the way he looks in those pictures is how one feels when they are loopy, loopy about somebody. You are just giddy, you smile for absolutely no reason. It is the best feeling in the world to feel that way about somebody.

Same as the furniture store steps picture.

And I was also thinking about the other Laker pics. The ones where his eyes look sort of red rimmed. If indeed there was some turmoil going on there, to be that upset about it speaks just as loudly as smiling as goofily when things were going good.

I see people want to talk about Jaustin again. Let's gather around, people!! Come on, come on!! Come hither!

Have you guys seen the new pictures of Austin on spooky's page? Holy cow. Too bad Austin's hair is so crazy in those because those are some hot pictures, let me tell you.

Jaustin! Jaustin!!

love it, love it. That made my day. Although it's obvious you watch CSI and ID (Investgative Discovery). I don't think those are Jake's legs or men legs.
Austin would have a hissy fit if Jake wanted to pose with his legs wrapped around his neck. And have them used be for image shots. Noooo Way.
Austin... "But I like girls and shit"

Waiting for Brothers said...

just looked at the Ihj photos of Brothers. Is it me or do I need glasses also? Was a ciggarette photoshoped out of Jake's hand in the pics of he and Tobey sitting outside talking? I could have sworn that Jake had a ciggarette in his hand and smoking it in the brothers trailer. Jake looks wicked and sexy all at the same time in those pictures.

prairiegirl said...

It's funny to see how that picture obviously makes some feel uncomfortable.

What strikes me as funny is this.

People keep commenting on here & also next door, how nutso someone must be to even think that Jake & Austin could still or ever did have something going. It's laughable. It's a fantasy. It's Kool-Aid. It's totally inplausible. It's a dreamworld. It's totally, totally dismissable. There's no way those are Jake's legs. There's no way they were ever involved. They were, at most, f-buddies. There's no way because Austin is so "D-List", Jake would never be seen with someone like Austin. blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's like this little record that keeps playing on the Victrola.

Okay, so if that's the case? And all we have in these past 6 years is two sets of biking pictures?

So why on earth would anyone be worried enough about it to spend any time talking or dissing about it?

If all we have is two measley days of bike riding out of, let's see, what does that come to, 365 days times, uh...three? four? Let's say four...carry the two, 24 plus 2 is 26, carry the 2 again, 12 plus 2 is 14 that would be... 1460 days. Let's say 8 hours of bikeriding at the most, out of 1460 days or 35,040 hours. 8 hours out of 35,040. That is a .0002283 percentage we need to be concerned about.

Hmm. Seems kind of miniscule to me at best. Wow. That kind of percentage of companionship does not seem worthy of any kind of outside concern. You would think.

You would think, right, Cisco?? Ahhhh, but noooooo Ponchooooo!!

This idea of Austin or the mere idea of Jake and Austin, Jake with Austin, Austin with Jake, Jake & Austin sleeping together in cohabitation, even with this 8 hour glimpse out of, what was it? 35,040 hours? It does seem to still bother some to the point of endless persistence.

TDAT said...

Didn't they start filming in 2002, not 2001? Still, seven years!

Special K said...

You're right it was November 2002. I apologize.


It still doesn't change that what happened there has been consistent all these years.

Jake was grinning on the set of TDAT and hasn't stopped when he's with Austin. And the one time he wasn't was the day the very day the press release came out. (Which may believe his mom was involved in as well as the team) to combat the growing gossip at the time that he and Austin were going to come out that first part of April.

It is always interesting for a couple that is so private when you see them it they are always seen those first few days of April. Even over the past couple of years. Hmmm makes you wonder the importance of April to them.

Jake does have that head over heels in love look. You know the one where at the end of your date you face hurts and you don't know why, and then you realized you never stopped grinning the whole time.

Austin always near, even back on TDAT. Taking care, wiping him off, riding on the street side while biking, leaning forward almost to tell the camera you have to come through me to get him. Austin clearly demostrates that this is his man and he is taking care of who means so much to him. And it is not just from his Southern gentleman roots either.

You are assuming that people who are saying that they don't look like Jake's and/or male legs ALSO don't think that J&A have ever had something going on. The two aren't mutually exclusive :)

I don't think they are a male's pegs, but believe that J&A probably had some knid of relationship in the past (don't know about now)

prairiegirl said...

^^^I can dig that. Although I'm no intentionally trying to say that both ideas must co-exist.

They do seem to, though, most of the time. But you are an exception.

You know, at first glimpse, I also didn't see how those could be a man's legs. But the more I studied them and then looked at some shots of Jake's calves, I could see them being Jake's legs. I think if it was a woman's legs, we would see her hip(s) in a hi-cut undergarment or something. There's alot more possible eroticism in a woman's angles & curves than in a guy's, for the purpose of a portrait. I think if it was a woman, the photog wouldn't have hesitated to show more of the body.

There's just something about the picture itself, the secrecy, the taunting, the blatant sexuality of it that to me, spells that it is a man's legs.

Yeah, Austin's been talking of "the ladies" this past year, but boy, he sure hasn't shown this Casanova side of him all these past several years. I'm trying to see evidence of it, lol, and I'm, uh...having a hard time of it.

prairiegirl said...

Aw man!! a type-o. Although I'm no = should be Although I'm not.

I hate that!

Okay, well, time to hit the hay, I think. My eyes are starting to droop. Hot dogs? Check! Aldi Baked Beans? Check! Marshmallows? Check! Milk & bowl of cereal? Check! Cheez-Its? (imprinted with Scrabble letters, lol!) Check!!!

Lord willing, talk to you all in the morning. Sweet dreams.

@"Waiting for Brothers" you are correct.

Out Editor's letter to Adam

We’re curious whether you know that we made cover offers for you before American Idol was even halfway through its run. Apparently, Out was too gay, even for you. There was the issue of what it would do to your record sales, we were told. Imagine! A gay musician on the cover of a gay magazine. What might the parents think! It’s only because this cover is a group shot that includes a straight woman that your team would allow you to be photographed at all -- albeit with the caveat that we must avoid making you look “too gay.” (Is that a medical term? Just curious). Luckily, you seemed unaware that a similar caution was issued to our interviewer.

Perhaps we should have had you and Cyndi in a tongue lock. That would be radical. It’s odd, because this magazine has done covers with Pete Wentz and Lady Gaga -- getting straight men and women to do Out is easy these days. It gives them cred. Getting gay stars like yourself is another matter. Much easier to stick you in Details, where your homosexuality can be neutralized by having you awkwardly grabbing a woman’s breast and saying, “Women are pretty.” So are kittens, Adam, but it doesn’t mean you have to make out with them.

Oh, those are so Jake's legs. And we know he shaved his legs, for biking, many times. Why would they do that picture? Because they have a sense of humor and Toothy loves to be coy.

Actually, I think BBM had a lot to do with Jake not coming out. The timing was such that he delayed doing it because the film was up for so many awards. No one wanted to risk it's chances so he was pressured to postpone. Once out, he would have stayed out but after BBM his star potential hit a whole new level. Everyone saw $$$$$.

^^^ WOMEN shave thier legs also!
Yes they both have a sense of humor, but no way can you tell me that Austin would take a picture with Jake's legs around his neck to be advertised as an image shot. Everytime there was a camera in front of them Austin smirked and always seem to switch the gears to 3rd. I don't see it. Believe me, Austin is more concerned about his image and career more than Jake and always have been (In the past). I know Jake had the push of others and Austin didn't, but Jake has always had a I don't give a fuck attitude
(in the past) until dealing with Reese.

Okay, minutes are winding down. Waiting on our friend to arrive so we can load up the car. I am frantically trying to download some of my Christmas music, lol. Did I do any of this yesterday? Nooooooooo. Did I pack any yesterday? Noooooooooo. Just finished. lol. Did I get up & walk? Noooooooooo. Overslept by 2 hours. I am going to pot!!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend. It's been another rough week for me personally, more crying & whatnot, but you know what, guys? There's still an awful lot to be happy about, alot to be thankful for. And I cherish the people I know here. I cherish you because you have all helped me, are helping me get through this, along with others and also my faith. It all works together for the good.

I hope there are good days ahead for the world of Jake & Austin. If not, that's just the way it will be. But I still have a flame of hope that still just won't let go.

So I will leave on that note. You all take care, have a good weekend. Oh my goodness!!! I forgot I should have internet there. LOLLLLL! I'm acting like I'm leaving for Timbuktu or something. Snicker!!!. Heck, I may even be on here later today or tonight.

LOLLLLLL! Wow, that's embarrassing.

I'm also working with my beta on 34c so hopefully that will happen this weekend.

lol, the big send off. You all have a good day, it's Friday and I am missing my big buddy at work. I hope he's doing alright. He's had a rough week; was seeing the dentist last night about his wisdom tooth that has been bothering him forever, it seems. I think I'll try to email him now.

TTYL!!
