Trick or Treat

Was it the party? Was it the guests? Was it the costume choice? It is not every year you can be a genie(?). Maybe that is why he wanted to wear the mask this year, to cover the disappointment.


Halloween has always been fun for Jake. Here are links to two clips where he talks about Halloween growing up, courtesy of IHJ.

Special thanks to Hjulia for Genie Jake.

TIFF for Tat

This is from a feature in the month's In Style (US) magazine, asking the stars at TIFF to turn the tables and ask each other the questions, and then answer in their own handwriting. And what a better pair to interview each other than Peter and Jake.

Peter's thighs and Jake's First Tooth. Yeah, Jake first tooth, ok just go with that.

In the collage of pictures Jake strikes again in his cheekiness with Peter, with "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything". Now Peter should have taken the chance to get back at his brother in law, in the bottom left picture with Jake and the cup, with "Coffee, Tea or Me?"

Just one more thing:

This seems like a throw away line in a Variety blurb, but it maybe that Jake will be working with director David O.Russell on a new movie called Nailed, along with Jessica Biel. Russell's movies include Spanking the Monkey, Flirting with Disaster, Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees.

Variety - Jake "Nailed" with David O. Russell and Jessica Biel?

A little Austin to start the week.

This is a trippy little scene from Luz Del Mundo, found in my Austin "travels".

You may need to play this directly at YouTube if it is getting cut off.

Luz Del Mundo is the story of Neal Cassady's (Austin) and Jack Kerouac's (Will Estes) friendship and adventures.

Thanks to Stubborn for her technical expertise.

OMG Get-Together Update

Since I was asked not to post everyone's pictures on the main blog, here is a link to the pix. When I uploaded these, I unhappily discovered there are none of Tom. I realized that's because those are all in his camera! There are also no pictures of Spesh, because she is afraid the camera will steal her soul. The Red Sox really need Spesh to have a soul right now because they are in the World Series, and she just couldn't risk it. So you're stuck with Wicked, NETB, Destiny, and Destiny's Mrs. We're pretty cool, though.

Just a reminder of the purpose of this community for newcomers- we encourage people to have names here and not post anon. If you post anon we will accept it, but you will be STRONGLY encouraged to use a name. It makes people more accountable for their comments and allows people to get to know each other. You can change your name with every post if you want, but please use one.

Also, this is a Jake/Austin community. If you want to discuss and support the Jake and Reese relationship, that's fine, but there are other blogs for that. Please read our Welcome and Mission statements for more information.

Strong Silent Type

Just needing to give a little(or a lot) of Austy Love today.

Here he is with a look that gives the strongest, a weakness in the knees. The power of those eyes.

Full of life, he can be the strong silent one when he needs to be. This does not mean he doesn't have a lot to say. Just that much is said in other ways and for others to hear.

If TDAT was your first chance to see Austin, you were scratching you head, - him? Seriously? Yeah he is cute and he did give some great longing looks, but seriously?

And then it happened.
Time, talent, maturity, finding the Big Love.

Everything coming together.
Austin transformed.
