So I divvied up the story into chapters and I'm not going to do my word count for the rest of the weekend if I can help it. ('Cause doing my word count anymore is giving me hints of writer's block, and NO. I can have writer's block on December 1, but not right now.)

Instead, I'm going to do my trick of just finishing off chapters, which works a hell of a lot better. Right now, I have five chapters finished. Here's to seeing how many more chapters I can finish this weekend. *offers 2-liter of Sprite up for a toast, chugs half the bottle in one swallow*

EDIT: Here's another article on the whining over Alexander the Great's sexuality, which I only post because of this line from the article: A line from the film says: "Alexander was defeated only once -- by Hephaestion's thighs." *dies giggling* Okay, so who's writing that PWP fanfic? 'Cause, seriously, that begs for it. :)

SON OF EDIT: The only overtly sexual scene in the movie is a wedding night love scene between Alexander and his wife Roxanne that starts with her putting a knife to his throat after she catches him accepting a ring from Hephaestion, who is played by Jared Leto wearing eyeliner. You know, the fact that they pointed out that Jared Leto is wearing eyeliner is a close second in the running for best line from this article. :)

I so can't wait for Alexander.

(Oh, and the Hephaestion's thighs line? I'm pretty sure some historian originally said it.)

Probably because wearing eyeliner did so much for Johnny Depp in PotC.

Why is it exactly that men in eyeliner are so damn sexy?

Sounds strangely familiar.

I am amused by this hero-must-be-threatened-with-knife-as-prelude-for-het-sex motive.

Jared Leto wearing eyeliner

....I'll be in my bunk.

Yes. I ususally just hear it's from "Some Cynic philosophers", but I've also seen it credited to Aelian (Roman Poet).

Ha! Hadn't quite gotten that bit. XD

...link keeps sending me to my recent entries page. oO.

Mwah ah ah. I'm *so* seeing that movie now. *g* (if anything, for Jared Leto with eyeliner :-p)

Jared Leto? Holy crap, I thought he disappeared.

In Eyeliner?

You are my hero for telling me this. <3

I think I could spin one or two intriguing theories about it if I only could motivate myself.

...it is a certain drawback that Chryseis didn't end up having wild monkey sex with Agamemnon in the showdown of Troy, though. :(

Makes their eyes look bigger. Also, it's an instant aphrodisiac for those of us who were punks, because that signaled danger in a way that it doesn't, anymore. ::sigh::

I picked up on that too...like, what, the eyeliner is important? Collin Farrel is probably wearing eye make up too-- I'm sure they all are.

Or maybe the eyeliner made Jared Leto's already fabulously huge eyes look even bigger, and had such an affect on the article writer that it simply had to be commented on.

We're getting the cut version. No gay sex for America. Sniff.

[sesana]

So does that mean there's an uncut (hee) version with gay sex? If so, I am totally buying a multi-region DVD player.

I was just going to comment on that myself. My roomie is an Alexander groupie and hearing that line would be in the movie made her squee like a ten year old girl going to Disney World.

Does this situation not call out for an icon made from a screencap from the movie, and the words, "It's not subtext when it's history"?

Is it Wednesday yet?
