Sunday Morning Musings: Jake at Sundance, Vancouver vs Austin, and a Safety Moment

Good mooorning!
With Quik Trip Vanilla Cupcake Cappuccino at hand, I'd like to take a fun, lazy look at some stuff... 


1.  Was doing some research for the future and came across this now deleted comment from Just Jared.  The comment was on an Austin post entitled:  Austin Nichols:  Lips Beyond Compare and was dated June 1, 2007.  (Complete with lots of pics of Austin at a John from Cincinnati premiere)

Hugo's is a cafe in Santa Monica, California.  

 C'mon, let's hear it.  Awwwww!   Of course, now you look at the link:  http://www.justjared.com/2007/06/01/austin-nichols-lips/comment-page-2/#comments   and you see this:

C'mon Just Jared, why have you deleted all your old comment threads????  Deleted the entire 2006 Lakers pic post?  Bad enough to delete old comments, but an entire post?  Just askin'.


2. Connecting the Beard Dots

https://camillerowefr.tumblr.com/post/169882151702/camille-in-los-angeles-18012018

Harry's latest beard, public female companion Camille Rowe has apparently "moved in!" with on-again, off-again gf* of Paul Wesley, Phoebe Tonkin.  Some may remember Wesley/Tonka Truck as former enablers of Austin and ex-beard, Chlo Bennet.  So is Camille there as a resident in training, aka boot camp for Hollywood gal pals?  It's interesting how so oftentimes "birds of a feather" flock together.  Let's hope it's a short stay and likewise stint for Harry.

3.  One constant in the lives of Jared and Jensen has been the public distancing of them and their beards, I mean public wives Genevieve Cortese and Danneel Harris.  The guys work in Vancouver about 9 months out of the year and the ladies have been stationed elsewhere, allegedly in Austin, TX for the last several years, with the narrative, I mean explanation that they are raising the children while the men are being the food gatherers of the household, i.e. also cavorting about and running with scissors (wink).  Imagine the fans' head scratching when things go topsy turvy this filming season and you have Danneel guest starring in Supernatural and now Genevieve also invading the Vancouver turf for Insta Stories and Stickers up the whazoo.  Just one of many rugs being pulled out from under the feet of regular observers. 

A sampling of ponderings:

Then, after the holidays when fans are thinking they can look forward to a return to normalcy again, they were met with all of the Family Beer Business grand opening hoopla (and subsequent Jensen/beard 'togetherness') and Genevieve popping up in Vancouver, BC for birthday celebrating and overall 'hanging around/loitering'.  ;-)  As only Gpad can do, with 50,001 Stories and Stickers:

Super bummed we aren’t in Austin and headed to the opening of @familybusinessbeerco tomorrow! I misspoke on our IG Live thinking we were able to make it to the opening, but sadly we are still out of town. We will be there shortly and can’t wait for all the good times to be had there!! Have a beer or two for us!!! 🍻 I’m craving the IPA! ❤️🍺

[Huh.  Now there's Gpad lamenting how they can't be at the FBBC grand opening, yet there's her "location" showing the same said name.  How does that work?]

Anyway, more throwing around of that "Vancouver" GPS location.....

Ooops, apologies for the foul language comment, but as you can see, there was much contemplation, fretting and arguing over the idea of the children being away from their school in Austin, TX.  Originally, there was much of the same when Tom was not visible for awhile, and fans were speculating why he had been left behind in ATX while everyone else was in Vancouver.   #NoWords for even speculating this.

Lots of GPS switching, kids MIA from school...you have two alternatives here.  1) home schooling or 2) these children aren't really going to school in Austin, TX.  If option #1 is what's going on, then that makes all of the ATX school/teachers chatter false.  If option #2 is correct, please refer to false chatter in option #1.  

And likely Tom was not missing school in ATX, because he doesn't go to school in ATX, but attends in VCR.  And perhaps the beards, I mean wives are appearing in VCR because public relations is getting tired of coming up with weddings and dinosaur shows in Austin for the men to be seen at.  So rather than all the time spent flying and upheaval of the children means it's easier to finally bring the ladies to where they are, unfortunately.  After all, when there are six, that's double the suitcases, double the sippy cups, double the tired crying and it's avoidable.

And if one does need to be in Austin TX (say, for a business venture grand opening), then perhaps the other SO remains behind in Vancouver to mind the shop, so to speak.  Hence, the "visiting" brunette makes for "explanation" and "cover".

Just something to think about.

4.  Jake Gyllenhaal at Sundance Film Festival!!!
Hey, look who popped out of the bushes finally and had to pull his big snow boots on.   Mr. Jake, looking all fine and very spiffy, and rather tan....Hmmmm, has the sun been shining that much in the Big Apple?  Lucky New Yorkers!  ;-)   Here he is, wave hello to Jake!

He emerges, complete with muffler and hat, sans gloves.  The arrival:

The premiere carpet - aw, doesn't he just look great?

And then the after party:

Cast photo (Mr. Dano kind of forgetting those on his left, don't forget inclusiveness is the key, Paul!) -

Applause, applause, very nice!!  Great to see Jake again, eh?

5.  And speaking of, we conclude with an important safety moment, because I have to look out for this guy and say hey, just like with driving, we have to go about our business defensively and try to foresee something unfortunate and take proactive measures to avoid as such.   Earlier in the week, these pics appeared of Jake allegedly in NYC with his deard, I mean dog, Leo.   

And they concerned me right off the bat because Jake was carrying two cups of (I assume) hot beverages in his hand while also holding onto a leash, besides the fact that in the second photo, the cups are stacked on top of each other.   And I have to ask, what if Leo spots another dog and even tugs on the leash?  What if someone bumps into Jake along the sidewalk?  What if he trips/stutters on an uneven part of concrete?  It's just a precarious situation while trying to hold onto a leash at the same time.  Any kind of jostling and the lid can pop off and spill very hot liquid onto his hand, perhaps even burn through his clothes onto his leg.  
The reason this hit at me was I had just recently learned of my sister's friend who was carrying a stockpot of boiling water from her stove. Not sure how it happened, but she tripped and the boiling water spilled on her and she spent a month in the hospital after facial and hand skin grafts and recuperation.  Not anything to play around with.  At least maybe it might help to use one of those egg-crate drink carriers so that the cups can sit snugly inside. Of course, that still requires two hands, so I really don't quite know a solution to this.

We just want our guy to stay safe from harm and everyone else, as well.  Be careful this time of year with cups of hot coffee and tea, everyone!  :-)

Okay, that's all for today, Happy Sunday, y'all!
