my own worst enemy

Step down, Sandra B.

Thursday, September 15, 2005

For the longest time, Sandra Bullock has been at the top of my list. Ever since I saw Speed at the age of 13 I have been ga-ga over the hot brunette with the girl-next-door charm. Coincidentally, Speed was the first time I ever experienced the atrocious acting of Keanu Reeves. How does that guy keep getting work?!? Not only that, but he got to make out with Sandra. Bastard.

But over the past year or so I've become more and more disenchanted with Miss Congeniality. Maybe it's the fact that she's getting older or that's she's now married. Maybe it's the ugly-ass outfits she's been wearing on late shows here lately. Let's face it, she's old and busted, and it's time for new hotness.

So I present to you my new favorite actress/crush/whatever you want to call it. She plays the mo-fine Kate Austen on the new hit series Lost, and her name is Evangeline Lilly. I'm betting that's not her real name but a pseudonym. Who names their daughter "Evangaline" these days? Although, she is from Canada, so who knows. I think Canada is still trying to apologize for Bryan Adams by giving us this beautiful and seemingly talented actress. I can't pass too much judgement on the acting skills because, other than Lost, the most intriguing role she has played is "Dead body" in The Long Weekend.

Interestingly enough, Evangaline bears a striking resemblance to Karen Swanson, whom I had a crush on my first two years at ND. I even asked her to the Zahm Spring Formal my sophomore year, but she had to attend the women's basketball team SYR to celebrate their National Championship. Rooster can confirm this as he asked Meaghan Leahy to the Fisher Formal that same night. He got the same response, only he got invited to said party. About six baritones decided to walk 3 miles to the house on Washington St. where the party was held only to find out we knew no one there. After about 20 minutes of sitting in the living room in a tight cluster, we left.

I still have no idea if Karen ever made the connection the next year when her brother joined the baritone section as a freshman. Oh, and she's married now. Oose.
