The Time Traveller's Wife and The Kite Runner || Mitch Hedberg || Jared Padalecki

[certainthings]

- I read The Time Traveller's Wife and The Kite Runner this weekend.

- Enjoyed them both.

I talked Hassan into firing walnuts with his slingshot at the neighbor's one-eyed German shepard. Hassan never wanted to, but if I asked, really asked, he wouldn't deny me. Hassan never denied me anything. [The Kite Runner]

- When I read that I thought, 'Oh, I'm reading a Sam/Dean fanfiction.' but then it turned out slightly different. :p

* * *

Mitch Hedberg: I like cinnamon rolls. That's why I wish they made, like, a cinnamon roll incense. 'Cause I don't always have time to make a pan. Perhaps I'd rather light a stick, and have my roommates wake up with false hopes

Jared Padalecki: I love cookies baking. During the winter, they have these candles that smell like cookies, and I always buy like a hundred of them.

Bonus Question: Do people staying with Jared and/or spending the night wake up with false hopes?

LMAO Maybe their hopes were already torn because of the said sleeping (or not sleeping) with Jared. The cookie smell just adds to the disappointment.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. Maybe.

[kilynn16.livejournal.com]

No. People who stay with one Jared Padalecki always wake up satisfied and smiling. ;)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Oh, rilly?

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

Both those books made me cry.
I only just read The Kite Runner last week and I loved it.

Wait, did Jared actually say that? When?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I cried too - I really really enjoyed the Kite Runner, I had no idea what it was about when I got it and yeah. So good.

I'm not sure when he said it, but it's among the quotes in his IMDB profile.

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

Me neither, I wasn't even expecting it to be very good but it truly was. Saw the movie last night and I thought it was rather good but I don't think I would've appreciated it as much as I did if I hadn't read the book.

It does sound like something he might say ;)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I was wondering how the movie was, happy to hear that it wasn't awful.

Heh, it does.

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

Far from awful. I had three movies on my computer that I wanted to watch and The Kite Runner was the only one I actually enjoyed. The music in it is brilliant.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

What were the other movies?

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

The Princess Bride (I could only get through 1 hour, even though everyone seems to love it, I found it really boring) and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (I read that book as well last week but the movie wasn't all that interesting).

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

YOU COULDN'T GET INTO THE PRINCESS BRIDE??!!! Oh, honey. Please please give it another try.

I've not heard of other one, but the title is interesting.

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

But it was so boring, I almost fell asleep :(

It's about this French guy who has a stroke and then his only way of communicating is batting his left eyelid (or maybe his right, I forgot). It's a true story and he "wrote" a book about his life before and after the stroke.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

But it's one of the best love stories ever told! Seriously, it's a good movie. *nods*

Hmm, that sounds kind of interesting or really stupid and boring.

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're right, but I don't think I can watch it again. Not anytime soon anyway.

The book is definitely interesting but as soon as I got done, I was wondering how the hell they could make an entire movie about this and still have it be good. The movie was okay but definitely didn't hold my interest as much as the book did.

[thursdaywench.livejournal.com]

nope, cause Jared has other things that smell like cookies that are fun to eat ^.^

also, Kite Runner, such a good book. *squishes it*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Other things? Like ... actual cookies?

[strippedpink.livejournal.com]

>>Do people staying with Jared and/or spending the night wake up with false hopes?

ahaha not if it's true that he walks around in assless chaps.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha.

"Dammit, Jared I thought you were baking cookies."
"Nah, just got these candles, but hey, I'm wearing assless chaps."
"Oh. Well, then you're forgiven."

is that how it goes?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

!!!! DO IT MOCK HIM! Jared doesn't get mocked nearly enough. I'll protect you from Jensen and his damn dictionary.

[mistojen.livejournal.com]

I think the false hope would lie in thinking that he's in the kitchen naked baking said non-existent cookies...

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

That is a good point. And a really good image.

[mistojen.livejournal.com]

And a really good image.

I'm harboring it in my happy place, personally.

[aeroport_art.livejournal.com]

Ooooh time traveller's wife. good book.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

really good.

[lalita82.livejournal.com]

Love both books, The Kite Runner made me cried LOT!!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Right there with ya.

[pushingyouaway.livejournal.com]

i absolutely ADORED the kite runner

and i had a feeling i wasn't the only one who thought of sam and dean *g*


and of course it's false hope because jared would burn the crap out of the cookies



*non-burnt cookies*

[agt-league.livejournal.com]

The Kite Runner is SUCH an awesome book. Ditte read it a few days ago. :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

[annabeth.livejournal.com]

And I don't know about the false hopes, just that you made me laugh embarrassingly loud. *shifty eyes*
