Jake Gyllenhaal 2009 - When 12 months are never enough

It cannot have failed to have reached your attention that the makers of calendars have deleted Jake Gyllenhaal from their lists for 2009. This outrage against Gyllenhaalism goes beyond the pail and means that, because of them, my entire year next year will be spent a day out of sync. This protest post, therefore, is addressed at all producers of 2009 calendars who think that people don't want Jake smiling or smooching down on them from their kitchen and bedroom walls from January to December 2009. This is my selection...

January


January and a bit


February


March


March and a Half


April

June


The Other June


July


Or...


August


September

It's his own damn fault, WDW!

But your brilliant idea is brilliant. I will invent my own effing calendar. So there! It will be AMAZING. . . .

(relig? whooo! okay I am religiously committed to creating a Jake calender of my favorite Jake pix.)

Hi there Pia! I'm gonna do my own calendar and print it out :D I realised though that 12 months is just too short for all these glorious pics.

My word is micradst - mind boggles...

Who needs some calendar maker when you chose the best of the best Jake glory?

I agree with the last pic - it should be on from Jan to Dec...

I only use a 12-month on one page calendar (what do you call those?), and I always create my own and it's always a BBM picture.

"Unchi"-the funniest word ever.


Hi, WDW!

I had a Jake calendar in 2007. OK, I had two. Yes, I was crazy. One of them I gave to my friend when she fell for Jake after seeing "Proof" with me. She put it in her kitchen. Ausgust Jake was once sprinkled with oil. Very badly. Because I was cooking.In my friend's kitchen. I was really sorry. Jake forgave me.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Exactly, Winterbird :D We can do our own. I was purposefully avoiding Movie Jake pictures, that would need to be the alternative calendar - so many to choose from!

Hi Zodiac! I am horrified to hear August Jake was smothered in baby, sorry cooking, oil. I'm afraid to say that I have three 2008 calendars! Never enough Jake - that's my mantra. You must treat August Jake better... :D

Carol said...

Love the picture choices WDW. Especially December:)

I have a friend doing one for me for 2009.

Definitely could have another one or more with movie Jake.

JoeAnn said...

Er. . . I think January and March are repeats and even with Jake's pretty face to gaze at if you think I'm gonna suffer through the snow and sleet again, you've got another thing comin'!

My word is "yousgu". Sounds like some kind of industrial caulking.

it take my breath away...

Great choice of pics WDW ;)
That's really disappointing not having a gyllencalendar for 2009 :-/
But after all it's definitely better making our own personal calendar :) hopefully Jake will please us with some new beautiful pics by the end of 2008... hopefully... he's keeping us on a too strict diet, and diet aren't allowed at Christmas time..

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Good morning everyone! I want to protest at how cold it is this morning. I cannot feel my feet.

Hi Carol! I always disagree with the choice of pictures in the 'offical' calendars so it's fun to make them up instead.

Hey JoeAnn :D I saw last night that I'd repeated the pictures but I love that picture so much. I'd love to have that one as a poster.

Hi Anon!

My word is plate - how mundane....

Have a great day everyone and wrap up!

Atticus said...

WDW thank you for making me your calendar boy for 2009 I'm really honored. But I don't get it I'm only in 1 picture. Aha....you must be worried about only using studio fotos that I signed off on and not using pap pics....but WDW its okay I don't mind if you use pap pics of me because I know you now and you're a really cool lady. (I really want to say bitch but I know you won't like it because you're a 2 legged) So now feel free to put my fotos in for the other 11 months and then you can delete Daddy.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Atti! I couldn't do the calendar and not include you in it! I'm sure Jake would love to have an Atti calendar for a gift. And I think you're a cool pup :D

Sorry for coming back with a completely off-topic post, but I've just happened to read an article on the web about a young Scottish singer named Amy McDonald, who dedicates songs to Jake, like one titled "LA".. I've never heard of her and wondered if you know about her, they say she's pretty famous in UK :)...I would have really skipped the article, if it hadn't been titled "..and sings for Jake Gyllenhaal" ..you don't happen to see his name that often on news pages here..

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Good Girl! Good to see you :D Oh yes, Amy is wonderful, the album's been out quite a while over here and was a big success. I play it all the time. I did a post on it - I think it would be about a year ago now. It's well worth getting!

*good girl* said...

:D Thank you WDW :)
I had imagined you already had a post about this, I'm always late :-/ :P I'll definitely check out her songs, I'm really curious to hear what Mr. Gyllenhaal can inspire ;)

Have a lovely day you all :)

Where can I get this calendar :D

I see you had problems narrowing down some of the months. I don't blame you. too bad there are only 12 months to a year :D

Xenia said...

Oh WDW, 12 months of pure pleasure, thank you for your gift! Actually I'm thinking about using yor pictures to change my desktops each month of the year (sometimes I can change it twice, wow).:)

Regards the discontinuing of Jake calendars you lamented WDW, I don't know, call me crazy but I have a feeling that it could mean they (even if I don't know who exactly they are, Disney people maybe) are, trying to put some kind of gap between the old Jake (i.e. barely one pap-pic after an entire month, no news) and the new Jake, the blockbuster actor, the hero, The Prince...Expect an excess of Jake gadgets in the future. I'm in a 'think positive' day, today. :)

My word is dediesse, sounds like a french word of absolutely no meaning...

Good Girl! *waves*: I'm glad to know that Amy McDonald is getting some buzz even in Italy, and Jake with her. Thanks for the heads-up, dear. :)

Bye to all. :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Waves to Good Girl!

Hi Sweetpe :D I wasn't going to let a mere 12 months get in the way of having a longer calendar!

Hey Xenia! Love the thought of you using the pics as desktops :D That is very interesting what you say about the calendar and how this could be a way of having a 'natural gap'. Hmmm. Be interesting to see what happens with the next calendar - hopefully next year. I wouldn't mind an excess of Jake gadgets.

My word is ingesc - sounds revolting...

Anonymous said...

Now THIS is a calendar!!! You picked the best of the best pics here, WDW! *Swoon* and *Guh*

My word is *sumetei* sounds kinky. :p

xoxox

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi there Get Real! I'm glad you liked the pics - I think all jake calendars should have at least 24 months (most of them taking place in the summer of course...).

Carol said...

I just have to add to the praise already given to Amy McDonald.

She is so wonderful with such a beautiful pure quality to her voice. I woud highly recommend going to see her live if anyone gets the chance. She is a brilliant live performer.

Uli said...

I'm a bit late, but wanted to say, I will miss my Jake on the wall, too!! I've had him for two years now... And I will miss my Brokeback calendar, too...

Maybe making your own one is really the way to go... Then you can pick the pics you really like... On the other hand I might feel even more freaky/ creepy when somebody else sees my selfmade calendar than I felt when people would see the bought one... LOL!

But I don't know how to make a nice one, I don't have a photoprinter and when I do this "create it online and let them print it and send it to you" thing, won't I get into trouble for copyright stuff? Need to think about this... ;)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Uli! I'll have to see if I can make a nice looking bijou calendar and then I'll send you one too :D I'll be in touch!

I was distraught at the news that Mark Ruffalo's brother Scott has been shot in the head, and is clinging to life in intensive care.
The news report on AOL listed "Zodiac" as one of his three most notable movies.

I just finished reading "Mrs. Astor regrets," about the sad last years of Brooke Astor's long (105 years) life, and didn't realize that there would be a Jake connection.

However, there is: The author, Meryl Gordon, has written a feature article on Maggie Gyllenhaal for a leading magazine.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Paul - I had no idea about Mark's brother - that's terrible! I very briefly met him in LA a couple of years ago. A nice guy. Fingers crossed for him and his family.

paulh said...

When (not if) they make a movie of the Astor/Marshall family battle, I think that Maggie Gyllenhaal could play Mrs. Astor as a young and middle-aged woman. I say this because people described how blue-green Mrs. Astor's eyes still were when she was in the hospital for pneumonia at age 104. Also, in pictures of Mrs. Astor taken in the 1950's, her skin reminds me of Maggie's skin.
