He was one of 23 senators that voted against the Iraq War and to this day touts it as a mistake because no weapons of mass destruction were found. If that's all he's got to go on, he's delusional.

Taylor Kitsch. Yeah, I know, I don't really have to say anything else. But how can you not? I mean, this guy is gorgeous beyond gorgeous. I spent several weeks in January binge-watching all of "Friday Night Lights," and followed that up with a select X-Men movie! And of course, not too long ago, Taylor was in a new movie, "Lone Survivor." He's definitely one to keep an eye on.

I must have been really distracted by this one!
Freddie Smith. He plays Sonny Kiriakis on "Days of Our Lives." The weirdest part is getting back into DAYS. I watched this show while I was in college. Wow!
Freddie is also currently doing some soap-opera-esque comedy improve which is hilarious!!

Yeah, since I don't post often, I had to change it from Hottie of the Month, to Hottie of the Season, meaning Winter. This is Luke Kleintank. You've probably never heard of him. Too bad for you. He's young enough to be my kid, but hey, he's legal! He's been on episodes of CSI: Miami, Law & Order: LA, Parenthood, Gossip Girl and had a recurring role on last year's No Ordinary Family.

Yep! I saw "Prince of Persia." I'd read some pretty bad reviews of it but I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was pretty good. Granted, it's got lots of bits of other movies in it, but most do these days. There's quite a bit of "The Mummy" in it, including Gemma Aterton kinda looking like Rachel Weiss. Lots of sand, too. And desert guardians. There's obviously some "Lord of the Rings"Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257922716180734854.post-6397480355017811512010-04-24T09:12:00.000-07:002010-04-24T09:12:54.675-07:00Hottie of the MonthBeen awhile since I had one. Re-watched "The Hitcher" last week. This cutie is in it. I don't know why I'm hung up on grungy 22-year olds lately. This is Zach Knighton. He cleaned up for a doctor role in "Flash Forward."

At least it's a license to walk the streets of Clarksville a bit tipsy once a year. This was the 4th annual Lake Country Wine Festival but the first time I'd attended. And it was totally and completely awesome. I don't know, maybe it was all the tipsy-friendly people, all the great wine, people pouring you glass after glass, or maybe it was that the weather was awesome!
