Hi Bobbyanna I really, really hate that look to! And I'm worried. Jake's hair is very important to us all and, even though it's very important to him too, he doesn't seem to mind them wrecking it!

2007-11-29T21:50:00.000Z

I just have only one last thing to say about the Joe Namath project. After looking at pictures and video of Joe from the 70's??? I HATE that hair cut. And the bell bottom trousers, and that whole "Saturday Night Fever/John Travolta" look guys were channeling to look "cool." Jake's hair is very important to me. (sniffs.)

2007-11-29T19:48:00.000Z

Hi Christie - lots of computer problems around today. I hope yours feels better soon. I'll have trouble deciding between NYC and LA I can tell. I love the southwest but that would be later in the year - as I like it to be very hot there. I hear that Brothers will also be filming in Vegas. I used to go there each year with work in January, what a place.

The Spotted Pig sounds amazing.

I think that's Jake in the Green Monster. High up, isn't it!

I put that picture in the new post as we were thinking about it earlier.

CWG, we need your list :)

2007-11-29T19:38:00.000Z

My computer is not playing fair tonight. It's so slow and keeps freezing on me. So frustrating.

I love hearing other people's views of cities I've visited, and WDW, if you need a push for where to go in Feb (other than Santa Fe of course), go for NYC. I could go back there in a second. It's such a wonderfully exciting and interesting city. Luckily, we explored beyond the tourist trail and found wonderful places and met amazing people.

get real, I agree about The Spotted Pig. It's extremely small - luckily we found a seat at the bar and didn't move until it was time to leave! - but full of life and the girl serving behind the bar was intriguing too...we were impressed with her serving skills, plus she had so many tattoos we wondered if she was in competition with Heath Ledger.

WDW, thanks for confirming the smiley pic of Jake was indeed him at a Red Sox game. I love it. Was he in "The Green Monster" that he talked about on the Conan show? He looks extremely happy, they must have been winning! And as for the Esquire pic, there is just something hypnotic about it...you look at it long enough and you could almost drown in those eyes of his.

Hey, you lot, where have you all come from? I was ...

2007-11-29T19:35:00.000Z

Hey, you lot, where have you all come from? I was just putting the new post up and now you've probably all gone off :)

Hi CWG - Gotta say LA is top of my list. Gotta get me some Oscar fever (didn't Jake say he wore that as cologne!)

Hey Pia - I want a Jake Bear!! Let me know if you find one.

I wonder if jake will find it odd if a whole load of people keep asking him for directions. At least the Drunken London Woman asked him to make her a martini. Maybe I'll try that approach too.

Hi Get Real - I'm so sorry you're finding it hard out there. I'm laying low myself but there's none of that here. I have some great people on the door here keeping all of that out of the WDW pub.

Damn Pia - please don't read my new post then :O I found it funny and didn't believe a word of it.

Ruby I'm here - don't go anywhere!! *)

2007-11-29T19:25:00.000Z

hey, Ruby! WDW gets home just about the time Im ready for my evening wee dram. but I can start early, any time.

2007-11-29T19:13:00.000Z

Hi PIA, get real, everyone.

I am going to stay right here with you. It's a scary world out there! :)

*Checks watch* what time does WDW get here of an evening then?

2007-11-29T19:06:00.000Z

2007-11-29T18:59:00.000Z

Sorry, Pia, I totally understand and will not bring any details from other sites here. As it is I am thru with them. I can't stomach the cruelty. I just had to get that last bit out. Won't happen again. :)

2007-11-29T18:53:00.000Z

hey, getreal! I share your frustration and have been off other sites for almost a week and cannot believe how much better I feel! it was making me truly ill.

however, if I can say, respectfully, that I would prefer not to hear even any secondhand reports from these sites - I dont want to know if J and T are arguing about whatevver!

its WDW's call, of course -

just sayin', from my neck of the woods.

Christie, glad you had a great time in NYC! Sound...

2007-11-29T18:47:00.000Z

Christie, glad you had a great time in NYC! Sounds like you got a great sense of the city. I was traveling and away for the holiday but it would be fun to get together with WDWers in the futre. :) The Spotted Pig is a great place. Very tiny but very happening. You can feel the cool energy there in that little homey space. The food is very good!

2007-11-29T18:43:00.000Z

Hey all. Very interesting stuff about Broadway Joe. I don't know much about football but I do know some about JN.

I have been finding it hard to go around the internet. It has become a not to kind place to Jake. :( The gossip is so stupid but yet it goes around the blogs and the gossip rags won't seem to leave Jake alone. I would just laugh it off but the fact that people believe it and use it as a chance to make fun of Jake is getting really tiring. Now there is rumor that Jake and Tobey are fighting over makeup people so it is another chance to question Jake's sexuality. Even the JN news has got sites being snide about the Jake casting. Sigh. Sorry for the rant. I think I have to give up going to a lot of other sites. I have tried before but kept going back and usually end up frustranted and pissed off. Sorry for the rant. Again, thank you WDW for all the Jake news!

WDW I hope you're feeling better! Csn you start w...

2007-11-29T18:16:00.001Z

WDW I hope you're feeling better! Csn you start working on personal Jake interview as part of yr USA visit? Any more news on that ACLU lunch and set visit with Jake?

Hectic week: time for some foolin' around. Im listening to Albuquerque/Santa Fe PBS, off and on, googling Vermont Bear Company for a Jake bear (Bear with Santa hat? "Hunk Bear" with shades, Iloveyou tattoo, black leather jacket?): these are outrageously priced cusstom bears, guess I'll just put a maroon scarf around the neck of one a my home bears and call him JB. (wonder how he'll get along with Bogart the Bunny).

Im so glad you guys enjoyed NYC - and Im glad Jake loves it, too. And would respond if asked for directions by any one of us.

"Excuse me, but can you tell me which way is the Battery?" (Pause, while Jake, unable to resist a call, does the "The Bronx is up the Battery's down" number from It's a Wonderful Town) To be followed by Pia channeling an inebriated Joe Namath: "I just wanna kiss you."

I have that list if anyone needs it again. I mist...

2007-11-29T18:16:00.000Z

I have that list if anyone needs it again. I mistyped energy in my blog, but it seems you all undertood :)

WDW if your coming in Feb you need to go to LA and make a quick trip to Santa Fe if they're still filming. Remember if you see Jake look lost and ask for directions. That seems easy enough. Or, don't forget, "you smell nice". That's our signiture Gyllenhaalic line :)

2007-11-29T16:53:00.000Z

Hi Bobbyanna! I've done a couple of NYC Eating with the Gyllenhaals features. I'm waiting for Jake to be spotted in restaurants in Santa Fe so I can look at the food there as I reckon I'd love it. Especially the booze ;)

I hope you get to London some day - it's a fabulous city, so much life to it. I particularly love it by the river in the sumer when it's all lit up and people are outside having a drink, buying books at the stalls, going to the theatres, or just hanging out and soaking up the atmosphere and an amazing view.

Cannes is another kettle of fish and it certainly isn't the most accessible or welcoming place I've been to. Nothing like Toronto.

2007-11-29T16:36:00.000Z

There's a certain kind of creative energy in NYC I find really attractive and exciting. I love it there. Totally. Of course I haven't ever been to London or Paris. And Cannes is definitely on my "list of things to do." But NYC is special. And the people are very unique, at least in my experience. I mean, you will usually find friendly, helpful people in almost any city, but there is a delightful eccentricity about New Yorkers. Lots of idiosyncracies. LOL! Didn't we make a list or something? A list of "Jakeplaces," restaurants to go to?

2007-11-29T16:35:00.000Z

Afternoon :) Tut, dark already...

I'm feeling much better today, thanks CWG - I'm doing a half day working at home.

I love listening in to your NYC conversation CWG and Christie - makes me want to go. I'm going to the US in February for a week and trying to decide which bit!

Christie, I love that Esquire pic. It's strange because I wasn't so keen on the beard when that full but there's something amazing about the expression on Jake's face.

Yes, that picture is of Jake watching the Red Sox. Thinking about your guy at the library, I saw a bloke cycling in London the other day - a very cold day, wearing nothing but very skimpy shorts and an extremely hairy back. Did a few double takes...

It's good to hear how friendly NYorkers can be to lost tourists. I've found that in LA as well (although so many people I've chatted to there turn out to be ex-pats!). London is just so rushed, people need to take more time to help people out.

That's a way to approach Jake... ask for directions! Great idea!

Oh I agree CWG, I was overwhelmed by how kind and ...

2007-11-29T16:20:00.000Z

Oh I agree CWG, I was overwhelmed by how kind and helpful everyone was. We must have looked like complete tourists as the amount of people who came up to us and said "need any help?" or "are you lost?", and nine times out of ten, we were! But they couldn't do enough for us. We met a guy in Greenwich Village we almost got tempted to ask to come along with us, he was so nice!

What a nice stranger for you to meet, and excuse to talk about Zodiac and Jake too! I wonder if Jake ever stops and helps people who look lost?

Christie, seems like everyone in NYC has a dog doe...

2007-11-29T16:08:00.000Z

Christie, seems like everyone in NYC has a dog doesn't it?

People there are so kind and friendly. I think the nergy makes people that way. No time to get upset about anything. I couldn't find my way to the Walter Reade Theatre and this guy heard me asking a cop and he came over and said I could follow him there because he was on his way too. So we walked and talked about Zodiac on the way. He was very excited about it as well.

2007-11-29T14:41:00.000Z

The Spotted Pig is a very fun place, you are right CWG. Did I tell you that on the way there, on Bleecker Street I think it was, we came upon a little pug dog, being carried by its owner like a baby, and its name was Peggy Sue! We saw a few pugs actually, and I thought dreamily of Jake. I thought dreamily of Jake quite a lot in NY.

2007-11-29T14:19:00.000Z

Morning everyone, WDW you sound more chipper this morning :)

Christie, I loved that NYC experience, one can only get that there. So glad you went to the Spotted Pig, it's a fun place.

2007-11-29T11:16:00.000Z

I love that pic of Jake watching a game (I assume its the Red Sox, but have no real clue) - doesn't he look so lovely and happy?

When I bought the Esquire mag, I think I stared at the gap t-shirt pic of Jake for about 15 minutes straight. Considering that I don't like the beard, plus how simple the picture is, it really did take my breath away.

Yeah, it is a shame we didn't get to see anything on Broadway, but I don't feel I missed out because I had such an amazing time anyway. We had quite an experience at the New York Public Library where a guy was trying to gain publicity to raise money to publish a novel he had written by running around NY with nothing on but some y-fronts, socks and trainers. He arrived at NY public library and kept warm by running up and down the steps. He had "nakedauthors.com" written on his torso. I got my friend to have a pic taken with him. He seemed a very nice guy, considering he was doing such a weird and wacky thing.

Morning everyone :) Beautiful sunny day out there....

2007-11-29T11:04:00.000Z

Morning everyone :) Beautiful sunny day out there. Wonder how it's doing in Santa Fe...

Hi Fourplay - yep, those football trousers have somethig going for them and I'd definitely watch any film in which Jake was wearing those! You've got to feel for Britney but she has to take responsibility. I'm not sure being obsessed with a serial killer is a good move (if she is of course) when there are so many more gorgeous beings out there to have a passion for ;)

Hi Christie - sorry the strike ended too late for you to see a show but it sounds like you had an incredible time :)

2007-11-29T09:02:00.000Z

WDW and Sass, thanks for clearing up who was with Maggie. Ellen Page looks like a little girl stood next to her! Maybe because Maggie looks so tall?

CWG, the BBM meet in Greenwich Village was wonderful, it really was. Something quite special. While we were in The Stonewall Inn, we found some "what's on" mags and inside were not only pics of Heath in IMT (I drooled), but there were also pics of a certain Jack Twist (I drooled and screamed). Suffice to say those mags came home with me.

I hear the writers strike has now ended, which is good news.

2007-11-29T04:11:00.000Z

Argh. The pornstache.

Pornstache makes me go wah. :(

But then again, ANY Jake is better than NO Jake.
