Other people's blogs, part 3

I noticed that the last few posts were reviews, so I'm going to shake things up a little.

Recently I came across a newsletter/blog (it's close enough to be called a blog) about the actor Jake Gyllenhaal, who happens to be a brother in law to Peter Sarsgaard. The author of the newsletter has a real affinity for Jake, as do I for Peter (and also my other favorite actors). The newsletter runs weekly and the lady who writes it just writes about various Jake related things, like what he's been doing lately as well as stuff about her own life. Kind of like what I do here. Although news/information about Jake is easier to come by because he's a more well known actor, so she has a bit more material for her newsletter than I do for my blog posts. One particular edition has to do with wondering about Jake's blood type as well as discussing an upcoming movie he's in. 

I might as well let the Peter Sarsgaard thoughts run wild here, so, here goes.
A) It was broiling hot today and not a good time at all to be outside. Bleh. I suggested taking up long distance running to someone as a form of exercise; incidentally Peter does running for exercise. I wonder if I lived in New York City, would I ever happen to encounter him out and about?? For that matter, I wonder if me and eyelashes guy will ever happen to cross paths. Anyways. Given the combination of running (outdoors) and the broiling weather, I got to thinking about passing out from heat exhaustion and/or dehydration. I wonder if that's ever happened to him. Or if he's come close. I assume he (and pretty much everyone aside from me) is better about staying hydrated than I am. Sometimes I forget to drink anything during the day until it's dinner time. 
B) He's going to be in some Hulu series about the prelude, if you will (I guess that's the opposite of aftermath??), to 9/11. This seems like it could certainly be interesting and apparently it's filming this summer. I'm probably going to have to try and find a way to watch it. I think he's a main character. I hope this particular character doesn't have facial hair because I think people look better without it. I'm not sure if this is just a single season series or potentially something that could go on for multiple seasons, and if so, would he be in the further seasons? From what I've read, he isn't a huge fan of television roles because they're too open ended for him and the writers might take his character in a direction he wasn't expecting/doesn't like. Regardless, it should be nice to see him in something new. I hope it's good. 

It's always interesting to me to find other people whose writing style is similar to mine in some way or another. The other person who wrote a blog post that fit this criteria wrote about James Iha, a member of the Smashing Pumpkins. 

If you know of another blog that has a similar writing style to this one, by all means, let me know!
