First of all, "Dollar Store Cowboy?" Best subtitle ever.

The expression on his face turned first to curiosity, and then to exaggerated disgust. "What are these, maple...shrimp?"

Still funny as hell.

"Maybe I just figured that after all the crappy things that have happened to-" He did a little mental math and came up with, "-basically everyone we know...finally here's something worth celebrating."

And the thing was, he was sincere about it. Really, really sincere.

"You know, six years ago I don't remember you being this..."

"What?" He was at the end of the counter bagging the loot, and he looked up at her from under his eyelashes, all inquisitive like a little kid, and yet...not.

Still otherwise known as Where Jessie Goes From LOL to HEE GIGGLE CARTOONY HEARTS in 60 Seconds.

Nobody can say I don't know my audience.

That is, I play to the room.

That is, I am a shameless panderer.

Well, I don't know who you're pandering to, since I don't have a crush on Morris.

But that person is really eyelashes. I mean, lucky.

And you know, he kind of did that exact face when he peeked out over the couch cushions on the bed last night. I did the Charlie Brown hand clasp of bliss when I saw it.

This is absolutely darling.

Thank you! Maybe I could write a follow-up about them cleaning up after the party. Or Jess could write it, because I'm so lazy.

I love how much credit you give me re: motivation.

anxietygrrl December 5 2008, 01:54:05 UTC

Well, you know, if you need to procrastinate on Yuletide or something...

Oh, man. I should not have read this just before watching the episode. It just makes me love him all the more. (Unlike Jess, I am not afraid to discuss my crush on Archie Morris.)

Oh, I should post that (too long to be a) drabble that I wrote after begging Jess for a prompt to distract me during a baby shower a few weeks back! Wait for the edit, I'll brb!Chuny's favorite thing about the nurses' beginning-of-shift staff meeting was the gossip session afterwards.

"I can't believe I missed it," she told Lily. "I bet it was cute."

"It was pretty cute," Sam confirmed.

"You should've seen Morris. And Frank! They're bigger girls than we are."

"So he's doing okay? How did he look?"

"He looked good," said Sam.

"Somebody sure thought so," added Lily.

"Yeah?"

Lily nodded. "You ever see those cartoons where somebody's eyes turn into big pink hearts?"

Chuny laughed.

"You all need to get to work," admonished Haleh. Then, after a beat, "I heard they've been Skyping each other ( ... )

Awwwwwwww. Man, I haven't watched this show in a decade, but it's become my favorite show this season. I'm actually going to miss it when it's over!

So, write more for it, plz.

Well, if I write anything, it'll probably be this, because I've apparently lost the ability to write anything else.
