Jake Gyllenhaal

If you know me AT ALL or even just read my blog you know that Jakey G is my main man. My number 1. My future life partner and father of my babies. He is therefore the only suitable topic for my 100TH POST!!!

So I watched 'Love and Other Drugs' on Thursday, the opening day. After meeting him last week, and experiencing my love grow for him over the last year, watching the movie was the damn buttercream icing on the motherfucking cake. Seriously, it's like someone let me concoct the perfect movie for him to be in. He is naked (a LOT - but not as much as people have been going on about it...certainly not for 65% of the movie LIARS), he is sexy at all times and he is so so soooo charming and witty and funny and goofy but sexy and smug at the same time. Also, his laugh.

Below I have compiled a bunch of my favourite pictures and interviews that I believe encapsulate That Thing that Jake has. I hope you see it too. Now excuse me while I get my quiver on. Sidenote: PLEASE tune in for at least some of the interviews at the end. These vids exhibit charm that will make your pants evaporate, they are THAT. GOOD. And I'm warning you, your daily productivity may be turned to shit. But first, enjoy the pic porn.

Reasons why I love Jake by use of visual aids:

He is the sex

He loves his family and is very family-oriented (he will be a great father to our babies)

He looks like he would be a GREAT boyfriend

He is very sexy, yes, but he is also an adorable goofball

He's a snappy dresser even when he's not on the red carpet

'Love and Other Drugs' is the perfect goddamn movie. GO.

And now, the interviews! Enjoy x

Jake Gyllenhaal gets full grilling (on his name)


Max 60 seconds interview with Anne Hathaway

This whole video is a highlight. Do yourself a favour and watch it. There's sex talk. Sigh. This video has the ability to ruin an entire day's productivity for me. Lucky it didn't exist during thesis time. Also, watch the one where he interviews Annie as well. It's cute.

Moviefone Unscripted (with Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman)

Highlight: 3:58, 4:25 (The Spiderman story), 5:50 (the merkin...enjoy the visual), 8:45 (THE VEGAN WARS!!! So much adorableness - "this is what vegans talk about!"). Okay, so the whole thing is a highlight.

David Letterman

Highlight: 1:20 (Jake Gooberballs story. Yes man.) Such a good storyteller.

The Ellen Degeneres Show

Watch him squirm, talking about taking his shirt off. Meanwhile everyone is like FUCK YES, PLEASE. But now you can just watch 'LAOD'!

Extra Interview (with Annie)

The whole thing is a highlight, again. Shows his gentlemanly side also. Lady quiver. Especially when he whips his hair back and forth.

Jimmy Kimmel

Highlights (apart from how damn handsome he looks): 2:40 (talking about Russia), 3:39 (photobombing).

Jakey singing!!!


Jake on 'The Hour'

REALLY GOOD ONE. Especially 10:00 (in fact, skip to there if you want, when he talks about his old band and why he got kicked out).

Part 2 of Jake's Letterman Nov 2010 interview

Highlight: from 1:00 where they are talking about nakedity and "looking for holes in her defensive end".

Voila! That is why I love Jake Gyllenhaal.

classic shoulder bag

Lately I have been obsessing over loooong-strapped, small shoulder bags. It just seems every outfit is more complete and perfect with the addition of a cross-body side bag. Obviously in the past there has been my passionate love for the Chanel 2.55:



And yes, I still love it. But lately I have begun lusting over other shoulder bags. I know, I know, blasphemy. But then Kaiser Karl is all over Boobs Legsly these days and she is about to appear in a new Chanel bag campaign so my respect is diminishing regardless. Anyway, it all started with this Celine bag that is EVERYWHERE:


(photo from jakandjil.com)
Swooooooon! It is the PERFECT long-strapped shoulder bag. AND it will last forever and be gorgeous always. Want want want. Want. While this has become my new ultimate object of desire in order to achieve happiness and fulfilment in my life, there are some other options I am also considering.


Alexander Wang. Ok, not exactly a 'classic' design but still, love.


More Wang. This doesn't even fit in with the theme of this post. But whatever, like you care when it comes to bag porn.


Small Proenza Schouler PS1 bag. Sigh.


Not picky though, I'll take it in brown.


Mulberry (sidenote: I was in the new Mulberry store in the city recently and just fyi: the Bayswater looks great on me. Also, it is Christmas soon. So. Yes. There's that.)


Lanvin Maisha bag. I'm not L-O-V-I-N-G this one as much as the others but I have a feeling it will be nicely integrated into my wardrobe. You know those things you don't initially love but then become a vital part of your life? I have a gut feeling about this.


J.W. Hulme. This one is actually quite affordable so let me know what you think.


Hermes Constance bag. Gorgeous, non? But I simply cannot decide between the plain black and crocodile skin...


See? But I guess one day if I get the Birkin (sorry, WHEN I get the Birkin as a one year anniversary present from my future hubby Jakey Gyllenhaal) I kind of want the plain black Birkin. So maybe I should get the croc Constance. Eeek. First world problems.


Chloeeeee I love you so!


Aspinal of London.

Voila! So tell me, what do you think? A cheap-ish affordable one? Or should I make an investment and pay up? Or do you have other, better options? OR should I stop spending my money which is sure to diminish rapidly at this rate? I especially cannot afford to deplete all of my savings as I am planning some (long overdue) travel next year. Lalala. Tricky. Verrry tricky.

Pray for me

Whoever your God may be, I think I might need it.

Apart from the achey back (after chiropractic consultation the diagnosis was inflamed spinal joints and also the rotation of a few little spinal thingies. Both of these conditions also affected my ribcage and neck which was why it was also difficult to breathe. Yay me!) everything in my life has kind of been going kind of really well. And I don't know how to deal with this.

First of all, the job search seems to be going alright, leaving me surprisingly optimistic. But more importantly, I MET JAKE GYLLENHAAL LAST NIGHT! And Anne Hathaway. But anyway, I went to the 'Love and Other Drugs' premiere in Sydney last night (and waited for 4 hours...) and I got to see my man in the flesh. It was unnerving and magical. He's better than you can ever imagine. I'll obviously talk about it more in my upcoming Jakey G post. And forever after.

In fact, I sent an email off to Lainey at LaineyGossip.com (my favourite celeb gossip site, apart from DListed) basically explaining how amazing the night was and asking if she could please post the pics from the premiere because Jakey was so hot. But Lainey went a step further and now I'm famous.

Yes, that's right. I am 'the cutest'. Well Lainey you are just the raddest. To top it off Michael K at DListed.com (my comedic hero) also linked back to MY review so he knows I exist too!!!

http://www.dlisted.com/node/39919

To put this into perspective, I read Lainey and DListed every damn day and ingest it like crack. Obviously, I read a million celeb gossip sites but these two are the best and they are sort of like celebrities to me too now. So you can see why I am chuffed. What a way to top off my Jakey experience (note: in case you didn't click the above Lainey link, the night was described in some detail).

I'm still buzzing. Something's gotta give, right? Or maybe my back already did. And my shitfest of a thesis year. And my lack of a romantic life. MAYBE THINGS ARE CHANGING. But I don't want to jinx myself. So pray for me, pray to the black lady God above!!! Or the Gaylord. Whatever.

I love all of you loverz. And apologies in particular to my facebook friends who had to experience the gushing blow-by-blow account of my Jakey encounter. But how can you be mad, he is so fine.

P.S. Psst look how close they were. I got both of their autographs.You can see better pics in Lainey's post, but these are MINE. Lalala I was so close to my future hubby.

P.P.S. YOU try taking a clear picture when your Perfect Man is standing 10cm from you. I was drunk on Jake.

SWEET RELIEF

Holy bejeesus I am in fucking agony. My back has been hurting me for the last 3 days and has gotten progressively worse. Standing up hurts. Working out hurts. Holding my bag hurts. Cleaning the dishes hurts. SITTING ON MY ASS HURTS.

It is a constant pain around the middle of my back and just over to the right. It may be a knot, a muscle, I don't know, I just know it hurts a lot. It is becoming unbearable and I don't know what to dooooo. Will it just go away by itself? I have to work tomorrow and lying on my back on the floor (the only way I'm comfortable, seriously) is not really appropriate in such an environment. So helpppp and tell me what to do!

Acupuncture?

Hot rock therapy?

Cupping? As endorsed by Gwynnie P.

 

Old-fashioned massage?

Thai massage?

Wheat bag? Note: this one is available to me RIGHT NOW. Handy.
