[this is good] - (via keanuweb)

I found this yummy bit of congratulatory gorgeousness over at Nudel's.

Sigh.

Also, she has an adorable ad taken out by Sandy Bullock as well.

Also, if you haven't already seen it, Keanuette has a transcript of Keanu's Walk-of-Fame speech (and a clip to come). Quite charming and moving as well.

gasp. that look.

New photo from Hong Kong magazine MILK, via Keanuweb, who will have a translation of the interview soon.

Must. Go. Change. Underwear.

Club-Keanu has a bunch of new stills from Constantine. Check them out.

The lovely Jena has decided to send a letter/petition to the Ellen Degeneres to get Keanu a guest spot on her talk show. If you'd like your name to be included, Click Here to send Jena an email that includes your full name and hometown. Be sure to include the suject line 'Ellen petition'.

Club-Keanu has unearthed some gorgeous "new" photographs from the infamous Greg Gorman photoshoot with Keanu. Click here to see the others...

Cleo has some wonderful Keanu Santa graphics and animations to put the Ho Ho Ho right in you. Yeah, like that's a problem...
Anyway, Check them out!

Both KeanuA-Z and the Club are tirelessly working on their new Ultimate Matrix pages, so be sure to check out their respective galleries all this week.

God, I'm going to give in and buy this by Christmas, I just know it.

Kudos to the lovely ladies of Club-Keanu and KeanuFan for this most auspicious labor of love.

I'm really not a reader of fan-fiction. Maybe it has something to do with the few extremely creepy examples I came across in my early days of online fandom, but I really don't like the stuff that's about Keanu as Keanu. While I agree that he's an exquisite muse, and that there's frequently high quality writing involved, there's something about the things that are projected onto him that leave me a little squicked out. (Full disclosure: way back in the days I posted on USENET, I was baited into writing a piece of cliche-ridden tripe just to prove I could. I file it with the bungee-jumping experience. Regrettable. Should have kept my mouth shut.) We all have our fantasies but frankly I don't want to read every graphic, sticky, veiny detail of yours, ok? Thanks. That's just me though. There are folks that do, so....um....keep it up...so to speak.

That being said, I recognize that fanfic is certainly a popular form of creative expression, and using what/who you know and love as inspiration to create is a great place to start exploring your skills. On the non-squicky upside, there's a lot of good character-based fiction out there, and since it actually serves to explore a character beyond (or before) what we experience in a flim storyline, I tend to find it easier to enjoy. The various stories found over at BillandTed.org are a great example of good writing by fans who know and love their characters.

These stories vary from short and sweet - including two different versions of how Little Bill and Ted met - to most excellent homages to classic tales with a twist - to the very touching and thoughtful, including one where Ted decides to use the time machine to try to prevent the death of his mother, and my favorite: Someone to Watch Over You, written from the perspective of Ted's mother about the early days of the friendship of Bill and Ted.

It was raining steadily by late afternoon, and already you and Bill were restless and wanting to go outside. As any concerned mother, I resisted your pleads at first, but the minute there was a break in the rain I gave my permission. I barely caught sight of your raincoats as you darted through the kitchen into the back yard to carry out your boat races or whatever it is you used to do out there in the mud and water.

I was surprised to see almost two hours had passed when the sound of heavy drops hitting the aluminum rain gutters urged me to call you inside. I stood at the back door to make sure that wet garments would not force me to clean the kitchen floor again. Bill stepped easily out of the black galoshes, and I thought how terrible it was that his mother couldn't even buy him the right sized clothes. Then I saw your unprotected, soaking wet tennis shoes and understood.

"Ted 'Theodore' Logan! What do you mean, going outside without your boots?"

"But Mom, Bill didn't have any boots, so I lent him mine."

You try so hard to protect your children, repeatedly warning them and keeping after them, and yet things get by you and you want to unleash your exasperation upon the unwitting youth. But your explanation got to me. How could I possibly punish an act of selflessness?

That one made me a little pheklempt. *sniff*

I haven't had a chance to read them all, but I'd venture a guess that none of the stories at BillandTed.org are beyond PG-13 (and I'd like it to go on record right now that if there exists any Bill and Ted slash? I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.) So if you'd like to take some time catching up on the possible histories and alternate exploits of the two great ones it's a good place to pass the time.

I'm still recovering from having a crazy busy weekend with not one, but two Vibemerchant shows. The best part was that Nudel braved scary cab rides and smoke-filled dive bars to see us! It was so awesome to have her there and we had a great time. She even got to see me nail the solo in Oblivious on Friday night. Of course, she and Wanda (thanks for coming!) also got to see me completely fuck it up on Saturday after the bar owner told us to turn down and harshed the band's whole groove. Bah. We're going to start covering Vanishing instead. I can't take the pressure.

Nudel also got to see my debut singing a little backup on our new song, Knock Me Down . Yeesh, I was nervous. I ordered a double-shot of straight vodka before we hit the stage and set it on my amp for right before that song. I'm not sure if it helped or not, I couldn't really hear. Nothing was thrown at us, so I guess it was OK. I don't really want to sing, but it serves that particular song well.

I was less nervous on Saturday, but that was because NO ONE was in the place. Nudel and Wanda were the crowd and kept us going that night. The whole band thanks both of you for being there, seriously. We made a mistake of not flyering the area or promoting the show aside from on the website. Also, I pushed to go on by 11:30 because I thought that was plenty late, but the place must be a swing-shift watering hole because it was finally filling up at 1am with customers. Live and learn. We play there again on the 13th of Nov.

Anyway, I had a great time with Nudel here and can't wait for her to come back :)

Rawk!

Thanks to Ian for emailing me about his site speedcollector.com, which showcases his collection of Speed memorabilia. He's got everything from action figures to posters from around the world. I think my favorite item is the inflatable bus!

Take some time and look around. Each item has a comment section and I think Ian would really like some help from fans around the world with some questions about some of his items.

Also, Ian has a wish list, so if you have any Spanish promo postcards or rubber guns and wardrobe you're looking to get rid of, let him know!

Eeeeee! I just got off the phone with Nudel! She's in Vegas this week and we've got plans to carouse this evening. When I get off work, I'll be picking her up where the bible salesman left Jjaks off and then we're going to the Little Buddha Cafe for dinner.

Not sure what's next, maybe I can talk her into hitting the Hard Rock for some blackjack.

Oooooh, maybe we should visit the Red Square vodka bar and then do some drunken audblogging. Hee!

I'm so glad she's here this week, especially since we have a couple gigs so she can check out the band.

Yay!

Heh.

Rogan did this great edit of the Hellblazer #200 cover and I couldn't resist.

The Straight-to-Hell forums have changed location, by the way. The shiny new forum is here. The old forum is locked but still remains a useful archive of information, heated debate and full-on bitchery.

The new forum of course has a Constantine section so be sure to check in periodically for information and discussion.

Tomorrow may be Keanu's birthday, but the mail brought surprises for moi today.

EEEEEEEEE!

Renie sent me a tape with her radio show on one side and all kinds of good stuff from Ridgefest on the other. All sorts of interviews with fans, soundcheck noise and the best part, Keanu leaning into her mic to say "Hellooooo"... So cute. It made me giddy just listening to it and it's the next best thing to being there! Must. Rewind. and Listen. Again!

"Helloooo." EEEEEEEEEEE!

And BIG Smooches to Zen, for sending me a video of The Great Warming, a documentary that Keanu co-hosted PLUS a disc full of memories from Wee Neo's trip to Quebec! I'll be sharing those later in the week.

Thanks you guys, this totally made my day!

Creezy and Wanda are working on an online presentation of fan created graphic greeting for Keanu's birthday, if you'd like to contribute here are the specs:

- 480 x 360 or
360 x 480 pixels

- not larger then 100 kB

- filetype= .jpg or .gif

- include your name and location

Send them to creezy AT gmx.de

If you've seen "Larry", you might know why the sight of Keanu playing a red Fender bass just thrills me to no end.

Sigh....

This is just what I needed to jumpstart my busy bassplaying weekend. The Vibemerchants are getting together every day from now to Sunday, to learn some new songs, jam with some new friends and hopefully get some recording done.

Rawk.

Also, there are some Dogstar photos over at KeanuFan.com's gallery of him playing a nice white Fender as well.

Speaking of bass.....

Soul2Soul has a new blog and has posted a bassload of great pictures from Ridgefest.

Go check it out and say hi!

Another Angel is back from Chicago and has her Ridgefest story and some magnificent photos up at KeanuFan.com

Hard to believe this guy's leaving his thirties behind in September, huh?

If you'd like, you can leave him a birthday wish on the virtual birthday card created by keanufan43.

-via keanua-z

Warm up the sake! I'll be meeting keanuvisionary LoveTheLefty tonight to have dinner The Little Buddha Cafe, no california roll is safe!

And speaking of which, KeanuA-Z.com has posted an article from 1994 that you might want to check out titled "The Buddha of California"(see how I did that?), it's worth it just for the great photographs by Michel Haddi.

"...both 'Harley" and 'Davidson'"

*snerk*

Chianti brings the funny.

And of course, thanks for the Vibemerchant shout-out!

My japanese name is Kawazoe (riverside) Kumiko (eternal beautiful child).

Aww, that's pretty.

Keanu's japanese name is Saruwatari (monkey on a crossing bridge) Kenta (healthy and plump).

Take your real japanese name generator! today!
Created with Rum and Monkey's Name Generator Generator.
-via kat

Why did the monkey cross the bridge? To get to the riverside.
So what happens next? Well, according to the "You and Keanu" quizzy thing over at Club-Keanu...

We'll meet at a concert. (check)
His first thought will be that he didn't notice me too much. (I knew I should have had him sign my boobs!)
Our first date will consist of me tackling him and dragging him into the bedroom. (Oh, come on. I'll totally buy him dinner first)
After he gets to know me he will think "there's the door" (What? I think 'plumpmonkey' is a great pet name! Quit throwing stuff!)
How it will all end up? We'll live happily ever after. (Natch)

And while I'm posting silly quizzy things, via damn near everyone , here are the results of my 20 questions personality test:

You are an SEDF--Sober Emotional Destructive Follower. This makes you an evil genius. You are extremely focused and difficult to distract from your tasks. With luck, you have learned to channel your energies into improving your intellect, rather than destroying the weak and unsuspecting.

Your friends may find you remote and a hard nut to crack. Few of your peers know you very well--even those you have known a long time--because you have expert control of the face you put forth to the world. You prefer to observe, calculate, discern and decide. Your decisions are final, and your desire to be right is impenetrable.

You are not to be messed with. You may explode.

I would never presume to take that test on Keanu's behalf, but I like to think he may be a fellow evil genius.

If not, I have a plan.......bwuhahahaha!

Catz, of A Girl Named Catz and The Softest Bear in the World fame has been making the www more beautiful one image at a time at her graphics site, DesolateSouls.net.

Along with an extensive gallery (and it's not just Keanu!) and great 'how-to' tutorials, the site has just launched the Desolate Souls Graphics Challenge.

July's challenge is here, so go register at the DS forum, fire up your Photoshop or grab an evaluation copy of Paint Shop Pro and give it a shot.

A magnificent drawing of Keanu as John Constantine by Coffs of Keanu Reality, a russian fansite.

By the way, speaking of Constantine, does anyone have a Variety subscription?

Cinema Expo 2004, Europe's main exhibition trade show, closed Thursday with extended footage from "Catwoman," Oliver Stone's "Alexander" and Keanu Reeves starrer "Constantine" captivating delegates....

I'd like to know if there's anything else about Constantine in the article. Just not $29.95 worth of like-to-know.

And of course I'd really like to hear from someone that saw the footage.

Hmmmm, the Expo was in Amsterdam. Where the hell is Julie!?

Sta-cie found some great screengrabs over at BillandTed.org of a little known project that Keanu did with Alex Winter.

No, not Freaked, we know about that one. This one is a short for CBS - Hard Rock Cafe Saves the Planet -"Howie Meets the Ghost of Environmental Disasters Yet to Come". Circa? I don't know, but it looks hilarious. I was giggling like a fool trying to pick a picture to use for this entry.

BillandTed.org has several galleries, including some great fan submissions. The site is also updated regularly with a rotating video download and all kinds of other yummy Bill and Tedness.

Go check it out.

So we can start wishing
Keanuette
a Very Happy Birthday!

I knew there was something that I needed to do!

Hope you have a great day, girly!

*smoooooooch*

Comments are off here, get thee to Keanuholic and show some love.

I'd like to thank Keanu in advance for not doing anything particularly newsworthy over the next couple days because I need to practice. If anything comes up, I'm sure the rest of the Keanurati will have it covered.

Thanks to POTD for this fresh pic of Keanu from last night's charity fashion show that was part of the Dennis Quaid Classic events this weekend.

Check out the Club's gallery for more scruffy-yumminess.

If ever someone was a ray of sunshine on this weird and wonderful world wide web, it's Julie!.
From her overwhelming kindness to her zany hilarilty she's an extraordinary girl(she's really cute as well *wink*) and even though we've never met face to face, I'm so very lucky to call her my good friend.

Happy Birthday Julie!, I hope the day is as special and wonderful as you deserve.

KeanuFan.com has added a whole slew of Dogstar photos to the gallery, go check it out.

(via club-keanu)

Also check out KeanuFan's cool caption contest.

Thanks to Toriane for sending in her lovely drawing of Keanu.

She even got the crinkle :)

Thank gawd there's internet cafe's in LA! Keanuette's posted reports of her experiences at the HOB and Green Valley shows at her blog, A Keanuholic.

I just got off the phone with Keanuette in LA, she's at House of Blues and the band is sound checking right now :)

She tried to hold the phone out for me to hear but I couldn't.

I can't wait for tomorrow night.

\m/

Club-Keanu has a whole bunch of hand-rubbing, lip-pouting, goat-throwing, just-plain-cute screen captures from last year's MTV Moviehouse interview to promote Reloaded.

Check them out at the gallery.

This gorgeous drawing of Neo (found at Keanuweb) was done by a russian artist (and Keanu fan), "Coffs", who has a website with some more lovely artwork, both hand drawn and digital. Check her out.

After you've filled up on eye candy, feed your mind by reading Brian Takle's insightful and interesting essays about the 2nd and 3rd chapters of The Matrix Trilogy.

Then, when you're feeling all smart and brainy, feel free to come do my taxes for me while I learn Funkytown.

Well hell. My last audblog didn't post. It will probably show up later, five times or something....

Anyway, Catz so rocks. \m/

After dinner we were in the gift shop and they had the CUTEST SOFTEST stuffed bears. I swear, these things are made with the pubic hair of angels. So we both stood there fondling them for a few minutes, and Catz is so cool that she bought one for us both (I'm using the pic for the audblog image).

So we're like beanie bear buddies now. Hee!

We had a great dinner and I'm so annoyed that I'm sick and we didn't get to spend the whole evening having fun. I dropped her and her boy off at the Bellagio and I had to come home and put some Vicks on my throat and crawl into bed (sexy, no?).

But we're already planning a road trip or something as soon as an opportunity comes up.

Anyway, I'm off to bed.

*cough*

Catz has posted her Viper report from last night's becky concert, go check it out....

note from krix-"Julie! has taken over the blog this morning in order to do something extra special for Zen on her birthday. Y'all are welcome to follow along but please don't spoil the suprise!"

Hi sweet Zenny!!!!!

Because this is a special day for you, we have decided to throw you a global
birthday-party!
And to make it *extra* festive, I've written a fairy-tale especially for
you! :-)
You are the main character in it, and bits of it have been posted on every
site that has a "Keanu-blog-posse" *blinkie*.

After you've finished reading the text here, all you need to do is click on
the link at the end to go to the next part! However, because of the different
time-zones, and because not everyone will have the opportunity to make an
entry out of it, you should not *panic* if you enter their blog, and see
nothing referring to this. You will find the next bit of the story in the
most recent comment-section. Should the link, for whatever reason, not work,
then just look at the address & type it in yourself - you lazy bum ;-)

As an extra note for people who might also read this, and aren't called Zen:
Please be aware that this fairytale is being monitored by the Canadian
tourist-board, so it may contains references and subliminal messages in
order to get you to book a holiday there & spend all your money on furry
little hats and grizzly bear t-shirts. It may also contain references to
Keanu Reeves. --but I'm sure you all don't mind ;-)

Ok, are you ready sweety? Then we proudly present:

Starring:
Krix as Frixo; The bearer of the ‘thing’
Catz as Catzdalf; the old dude with the powerful *blinkie* spells
CuteTexasblonde as Arablonde; The lost king of middle-skirt
Keana as Intheboxomir; the heroic dude who redeems himself.
BakedNudel as Legonudles; the Elf-prince with disturbingly cute pointy ears
Sta-cie as Sam-ie; the trusty side-kick Blobbit
Keanu-Soul as; Merry-soul, the cheerful young Blobbit
Keanuette as Pippinette; the nosy, yet adorable Blobbit
And lastly Julie! as Gimlie!; the horribly ugly little dwarf, who can be
found deep beneath the surface of the earth, aka in the comments-sections
;-)

Special appearances will be made by:.
Joel Silver as ‘Jollum-Smeailver’; the one who keeps on saying ‘My precious’
when looking at his bank-account.
The academy awards-jury as Oscauron; the little statue who thinks he rules
the world
And certain movie-critics as Shutupman; the pathetic magician with
penis-envy.

*croaky voice*

Once upon a time... A terrible blizzard hit Canada. As the wolves howled in the background, and people huddled together in their romantic wooden cabins, admiring the glorious view of frozen lakes and salmon-filled rivers through a curtain of dwindling snowflakes, they could not help but notice how blessed they were to live in a country so magnificent as theirs. Not only did they have fresh air, a friendly population, lots of yummie sea-food and were easily reachable by areo-plane (check your local tourist-office for bookings) they were also the ONLY country in the world that could officially claim that one of their citizens was in fact, Keanu Reeves.

This caused much joy in the daily lives of the common people.

However, they did not know 'yet', that their country was about to be graced by an even more unique presence. And that the ice-cold snowstorm itself was a sign from above that great things were about to happen.

Because one of the snowflakes in this magical blizzard contained...

Ok, every single one of the great new photos that Sweet Keanu has posted is begging to be made into wallpaper....

But I'm only doing one (for now).

Also, a couple more wonderful pics at this blog, KR-Online.

(I feel like an ass because I can't speak the language, is that Portuguese? Where's Bea when I need her!? I seem to remember her learning Portuguese before she went to Rio....)

sta-cie rawks her mad photoshawp skillz....

Catz, too!

Brazilian Blogger "Sweet Keanu" shares some GORGEOUS new photos of Keanu including some taken by Amanda DeCadenet (looks like the same shoot as the Arena Magazine ones).

Go.

Go NOW!

Thanks, Keanuette :)

A blog posse, that is...

Thanks, Catz :)

Don't forget that Keanu will be presenting at the Golden Globe awards tomorrow. Thanks Jena for these programming notes:

• E! is doing an all day Golden Globes special starting with coverage from the red carpet at noon ET - 6pm ET, followed by a 2 hour Live Red Carpet Arrivals Special starting at 6pm ET - 8pm ET. The Red Carpet Arrivals Special repeats after the Golden Globe Awards at 11pm ET - 1am ET.
  
  
• The Style Network is doing a special before the awards from 6pm ET - 8pm ET (for PST, check your local listings, but I believe it's showing 3pm for you). The special repeats from 9pm ET - 11pm ET, and repeats again from 11pm ET - 1amET.
  
  
• Golden Globe Awards, NBC, 8pm ET - 11pm ET

More programming listed at A Keanuholic.

Sunday is jam night for me, so I'll have to set my tape. I'm sure there will be photos at the news sources before midnight tomorrow as well.

I'm taking the weekend off.

Both Stacie and Catz are doing some great Keanu desktops and graphics so be sure to check them out, and Nudel's been getting her photoshop on as well.
Keana has posted some of her personal photos from when Dogstar came to town, and has all sorts of cute little girlies and gifs going on. I love the little flying Neo!
Sweet Keanu_Soul could charm the fuzz off a peach and she makes music videos!
And I don't know how Keanuette does it all, keeping up both a major site with news and gallery, her creative work on her blog and she still manages to be quite the social butterfly as well. Thanks to her and the Keanu blogger ring I've discovered even more Keanu fans with blogs, like Furious-Angel. A self-proclaimed 'bad girl', I like her already.

Have a good one....

Thanks to Wry for pointing me to Keanu-site.com, a huge and glorious collection of Keanu screen captures.
Part of Keanupolis' K-Team, the lovely Natalia has not only most of Keanu's films covered but also the special programs "In His Own Words" and "Journey to Success", both of which have some great interview and appearance shots.

Be prepared to spend some time looking at everything.

KeanuA-Z has some video footage of a recent lucky fan encounter with Keanu in Switzerland.

For the whole story and the footage, go to KeanuA-Z.com.

There seems to be a growing number of Keanu fan blogs so I've given the ones on my blogroll their own Most Triumphant section on the sidebar.

Check 'em out.

I put the Matrix related blogs there as well.

If you're a Keanu fan with a blog and want to be in that section, let me know.

Keanuette's started a new Keanublogger webring as well.

Oh, on an unrelated note, my Outlook keeps shutting down so If I owe you an email it may take a bit until I figure it out.

If you happened to miss the most recent Leno and Letterman appearances, check out Keanu.org's multimedia section.

You can download those plus other clips, including Keanu's bit in the short lived Jay Mohr series, ACTION!, a definite must see.

(a zip utility and Real media player are required to view the clips after download.)

This is a beautiful drawing of Keanu, by russian artist, Lailinka.
More can be found here...

Just breathtaking.

Ooooh, Club-Keanu has some lovely new pictures of Keanu, who's in New York doing press for Something's Gotta Give. He's just yummy in the chocolatey brown suit and (new?)shoes.

So speaking of chocolate, you know who RAWKS?

Julie Does.

I got a fabulous care package to help me with my fear of flying from her yesterday, all the way from Amsterdam. Along with a Kustom Keanu enhanced survival handbook, something with eyes that wiggle, and other very cool things, she also sent me.....Chocolate K-E-A-N-U!

I plan on savoring every nibble and making it last a long time. Or at least until the stewardess flight attendant starts pouring the wine.

Keanuette doth rock muchly. \m/
Go to KeanuA-Z right now, avoid reading the article if you're non-spoilering it...but OH! look at the pics.

OK, who can get me a copy of this mag?

And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire

Little did I know that last night - as Roi was teaching me to play 'Ring of Fire' over at Dave's - Batty and Jon, along with several other SoCal bloggers and many others were watching a firestorm right outside their windows, some packing their most important stuff and leaving their homes because of the worst wildfires in many years.

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burn, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

It looks like Batty and Jon's place was unharmed. I'm seeing and reading on the news that so many others were not so lucky. I always get especially sad for the animals in these disasters.

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire ran wild

300,000 acres. That's a lot of land.
Looking at the maps of the affected areas, I know that these are the places that Tess and I drove through on our way to and from Solana Beach last month.
I hope that this gets under control soon.

It looks like Club Keanu is back up, although the URL is slightly different so update your links and bookmarks. The one I have with 'nuke' as a subdomain no worky, but this one does.

Keanu.ru, the Keanu Reeves - Russian Edition fansite has been added to the links.

It takes a little clicking around to find your way if you're like me and the only russian you know is Stolichnaya.

But totally worth it...

Keanu A-Z has a new look and format, and Keanuette has posted an interesting article from Showcase Cinemas Magazine, 'He's the One'
(she also sent me this cute 'get well' card yesterday so big germ-free cyber smooches for that too).

Go over to Reeves Drive and check out crowreaves fan report from the Thumbsucker set and look at the picture.

Eeeeee. I love his hair.

The bad news is, William Gibson is quitting blogging.

The good news is, it's so he can start writing again.

Kat has all three Dogstar CDs up for auction, so if your looking to have an instant collection or want to have spare copies (because at some point these aren't going be be around anymore) check it out. I know that OLV alone has gone for close to twenty bucks recently on the 'bay.

She's also got some other CDs, quite a few videos and some PC games up there at cheap start prices, so please bid if you have an interest in anything because you'd be helping her out.

OK, so there's another chance for good hearted fun with photographic proof today.
The Orlando Jones show also tapes by jozjozjoz. Well, technically it tapes close to her car.
We have no idea what time, though. So we need either:

a) someone to comment that knows what time the show starts taping.
Our operatives report that taping begins at 5 pm.
or
b) a smackload of excuses for why Joz needs to keep going out to her car instead of working. (She's already confessed to accidentally -shyeah, right--leaving her phone in the car)

--now that we know the time, it's pretty much in the hands of the Architect.

I told her she should trust in the plan of the Matrix, and make one trip out to the car today, with the camera and "Hi Krix" sign (which shall also include jozjozjoz.com...it's like sponsorship!) and if he doesn't cross her path it wasn't meant to be. It couldn't have happened any other way.

Of course, she's all "free will blah blah blah, in charge of my own destinycakes", so who knows.

Update:
Oooh! Here's a pic of the lot with something that is either a signpost or some guy doing an impression of Munch's The Scream. It's not Keanu, though.

BUT, Keanu just might be in the building under where the Hollywood sign is right now. How very exciting!

Or not.

In any case, I *heart* jozjozjoz for even bothering to try, and for keeping me updated on IM all day. At this point she could send a a pic of Orlando Jones' Security guy holding the sign and I'd be a happy camper.

aWWWWWWWwww!

thanks to lomara, I now know the emoticon for "throwing the goat".

\m/

sucky or not?

I just got home around an hour ago, and wanted to quick upload a few shots from the game from my craptacular zoomless camera before I went to work.

They can be found here.

Check Skittish (Wendy) and Lomara (Kimberly)'s blogs for links to galleries of their pics.

I hope to have some time later to do a little bit of a write-up, but right now, I'm freaking running late and on about 3 hours sleep.

Keanu fan and Oregonian, crowereaves got to meet Keanu on the Thumbsucker set. She's posted a couple pictures over at Reeves Drive's board so go check them out.

Also, there's an amusing story here about a fan encounter.

I thought about blogging for blogathon this year, but ultimately chickened out for a number of reasons, one being that I'm afraid if I blogged for 24 hours straight, I might never want to do it again afterwards.

So, I have a huge amount of regard for those that are, and I'm sponsoring Jazz, who is blogging for Doctors without Borders and has all kinds of fun things she's doing to pass the time...or convince us she's completely mad, I'm not sure which. I'm also sponsoring Jenn, over at Greyhoundathon who is blogging for Greyhound Pets, which aids in finding retired racing greyhounds happy homes. She's also a foster for greyhounds and has some great pics and stories about the dogs.

You can go see who's blogging today at the main blogathon site, maybe pick someone to sponsor or just leave some comments, I know that it would mean a lot to everyone participating.

Thanks to EVE for taunting me with the fact that she is going to Comic-Con and telling me about THIS at the Con:

5:30–7:00 The Matrix.com: Comics on the Web— The online Matrix comics include work by Larry and Andy Wachowski, Geof Darrow, Bill Sienkiewicz, Neil Gaiman, Ted McKeever, John Van Fleet, Troy Nixey, Peter Bagge, Dave Gibbons, David Lapham, Greg Ruth and Paul Chadwick among others. Learn the future of the Matrix comics, how soon the trade collection will be available, and perhaps get a free Matrix comic. Paul Chadwick (Concrete), John Van Fleet (Batman: The Chalice), and Bill Sienkiewicz (Stray Toasters ) and others join Spencer Lamm (who heads the team behind TheMatrix.com, as well as edits the comics). Room 6B

I think I'd like to go just to give webmaster Spencer Lamm a big kiss on the mouth for the wonderfulness that is whatisthematrix.com.

One other thing, Mikey2 has permission to call me "Krixy", because it makes me swoon (especially if I imagine it in the Stich voice), all the rest of you are guilty of unauthorized pet-naming, and you'll be hearing from my people as soon as I get some.

Thanks to club-keanu for the heads up on this post by Tresses at the DMB that says that Keanu and Bret will be appearing on a Mr. Big (who I have never heard of) tribute album "...very unique project in which Mr. Big classic songs have been revisited, featuring all star vocalists and guest musicians as well as the band members themselves."

Oh, in case you are wondering, Keanu is in Paris working on that Meyers thing (oh look, his character has a name: Julian. You may recall that he also played a Julian in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, which was of course...the Worst Movie Ever....I'm just sayin'). He's also going to movie premieres and having lunch. Pics and links to pics can be found at Club-Keanu and Keanuholic.

Also, according to Lou Taylor Pucci's news page, Keanu will be arriving in Beaverton! toward the end of the month to work on Thumbsucker (why hasn't this movies IMDB page been updated?).

Have you checked out "The Matrix parody to end all of those damn Matrix parodies", Dominic Mah's The Matrices?

You should go to iFilm and do that.

I know. These outages are a huge pain.
Is it just me? or are Keanu sites are dropping like flies.....?

All gone or on a break.
I'm sure there are others that are just no longer updated.

KeanuA-Z in undetermined limbo. Keanuholic, Jen's blog, is still up though.

Reeves Drive can be found here until the regular domain resolves.

I feel like the red cross after an earthquake.

Anyway, I just want to say that I have no plans to go anywhere, but I am going to be turning it down a notch. So don't worry if you don't see something new here every day. I need a little break, and last weekend doesn't count.

Believe me, it SO does not count.

Besides, Roi wants to teach me to play bass.
