Songs that Get to You...

I'm not talking about songs that make you cry, or make you smile here. They're the ones that make you start to feel hot the second you hear them -- due to a memory affiliated with that song; or the sound of the drums that digs down into you. Those songs.

Was just listening to Civil Twilight's "Letters from the Sky" and that is one of those songs for me. The song gets quiet for a little while and then it crescendos at "We won't have to be..." and the drums let loose, and it just hits me. Wouldn't think it was a hot song, but ooooh, yes it is.

Another song like that for me is Love Spit Love's "How Soon is Now?". I was introduced to the song via the TV show "Charmed", but one night I was driving back from somewhere and the song came on the radio. And suddenly all I wanted to do was dance, so I started dancing around in the car because it was like I couldn't help myself but move. Also made me wonder if that song has ever been used in a strip club, because it would be the perfect song as a stripper undulates upon a pole.

So, what are your songs? Tell me.

Eff, Chuck or Marry?

Saw this post on Buzzfeed titled "10 Incredibly Sexy Rounds of Fuck, Chuck or Marry" and figured I'd answer it myself here, because why not? Play along, won'tcha?

1. Ryan Gosling, Channing Tatum, and Zac Efron
EFF: Channing Tatum -- Look at those abs, and the boy had moves in "Magic Mike", so he'd be great in bed. 'Nuf said.
CHUCK: Zac Efron -- Rocking body, but too young. Next.
MARRY: Ryan Gosling -- The total package. Hot and sweet.

Here's where things get difficult.

2. Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Beyonce
EFF: Rihanna, because she has a bit of crazy to her.
CHUCK: Do I have to? :( Okay, fine Beyonce -- pretty much by default.
MARRY: Katy Perry because she's a total girl crush of mine.

3. Guys from One Direction -- Zayn, Niall and Harry
CHUCK: All three of them. Far too young. Not interested. 

Okay, fine.

EFF: Zayn, because he looks the oldest of them all.
CHUCK: Niall
MARRY: Harry

4. Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence, and Emma Stone
EFF: Jennifer Lawrence because she's hot and goofy.
CHUCK: Emma Watson because she doesn't do anything for me.
MARRY: Emma Stone for no real reason.

5. Idris Elba, Daniel Craig and Benedict Cumberbatch
EFF: Idris Elba. No question. None.
CHUCK: Daniel Craig. But I'd feel bad doing so.
MARRY: Benedict Cumberbatch. So would. Drooling. When I read "50 Shades of Gray", he is who I pictured as the main character.

6. Kardashians -- Ack! Kourtney, Kim and Khloe
EFF: Khloe.
CHUCK: Kim -- mainly due to Kanye.
MARRY: Kourtney.

7. Anderson Cooper, George Clooney and Jon Stewart
EFF: George Clooney. Duh.
CHUCK: Anderson Cooper. Hot, but he'd prefer guys instead of me.
MARRY: Jon Stewart. He's funny and cute. Great combo.

8. Kerry Washington, Penelope Cruz and Jennifer Lopez
EFF: Penelope Cruz. Smokin' body.
CHUCK: J Lo
MARRY: Kerry Washington.

9. Pharrell, Justin Timberlake and Usher
EFF: Usher, because yeah, yeah, yeah...
CHUCK: Pharrell. It's okay. He'd still be happy.
MARRY: Justin Timberlake

10. Ellen Degeneres, Tina Fey, Mindy Kaling
EFF: Tina Fey, because humor is hilarious combined with a hot chick.
CHUCK: Ellen Degeneres. Cracks me up, but wouldn't.
MARRY: Mindy Kaling.

The Topic of Bulges

When one Googles "Jon Hamm" (and why wouldn't one, since he's hot?), one will invariably wind up seeing images of Jon Hamm's pants -- and specifically the bulge in said pants.

Since I've never watched "Mad Men", I wasn't privy to this information about Monsieur Hamm until I saw the pics and then I knew quite more about him than I did before. And I must say -- quite impressive, good sir. And even, dayum. Just dayum.

That led me to think about the glory of David Bowie's tights in "Labyrinth" (just one reason that's one of my top movies) and -- after a brief daydream  -- caused me to wonder: Do you find yourself glancing at the crotches of guys that you know and have you ever been caught doing so?

The thought of glancing at the crotches of males around me only occurs to me after seeing an article about Jon Hamm or the like, when it's on my mind and I find myself glancing at passerbys. Although, I once read an article about someone who found herself glancing at the crotch of someone she was interviewing. Awkward.

Of course, sometimes you can't help yourself and you wind up looking. I haven't been caught in a glance... yet.

So, fess up, have you glanced/looked/ogled?

The Hottest Female Celebs

Now that I've posted who's in my "Celebrity Freebie List", it's time to cover who I think the hottest female celebs are. ;)

Enjoy, kids!

1. Kate Beckinsale -- Loved her in "Serendipity" and thought she was amazing in "Underworld".
2. Olivia Munn -- Geek cred; hot; and she dated the insanely hot guy from "The Killing", Joel Kinnaman (who should also be on my celeb list.
3. Charisma Carpenter -- Rocked "Buffy" and I want to be her when I grow up, despite I think being the same age already... Smokin' hot.
4. Kristen Bell -- How could the Veronica Mars not be on this list? Love everything about her.
5. Sofia Vergara -- Gloria of "Modern Family". Enough said.

Reunion Hall Passes: This is Really a Thing??

So, apparently free "hall passes" at a reunion are a thing. I'll give that a second to sink in.

Yup, that means what you think it means.

I've heard the term "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". Can't say I've heard "What happens at Reunion stays at Reunion", because that's not quite how it works. Just no.

But, yet, people apparently do think this. Have heard far too many tales of both men and women going to a class reunion and thinking that means they can hook up with no consequences, despite being married. Wow. When did this become okay?

Can't say I'm a fan if this is the "New Normal."

The "Freebie" List: Is Your List Laminated?

So, I think we've all seen that "Friends" episode where Ross has a run-in with someone that used to be on his Top 5 Celebrity Freebies list -- until he changed it and then laminated it. Fool!

My question is -- Who is on your Celeb Freebie list? Consider this an "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" concept. Here's my list -- non-laminated as it's ever-changing:

1. David Boreanaz -- Would. So would. There's a pic of him out there reclining in a tub. Yup. Yum. 
2. James Marsters --  Met him in person at a Super Megafest convention a few years back. He's a LOT shorter than I thought he'd be, but still so attractive. And has what appears to be arms of steel. 
3. Benedict Cumberbatch -- Newest addition to the list. Thank you, "Sherlock", for the introduction.
4. John Barrowman -- Yes, I know he plays for the other team, but I can still appreciate the deliciousness that he is. 
5. Robert Downey, Jr. -- Gets even hotter as he ages.
