Sometimes Sully is like the Helo of Colorado Springs. He like senses that something incorrect is happening on his watch, and he goes over to stop it. Or he like, tosses his tomahawk into the middle of the melee and it's amazing, but decidedly less Helo-like.
Also, I would humbly like to submit that Michaela has the best "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed" face of all time to the general record of knowledge. I tweeted the other day that a good percentage of her thoughts has to be "omg why are you the worst" because so many people in Colorado Springs are awful and she's stunned anew every time, and then someone does something else terrible and she's like, *pained face* (even to Sully! Although it's usually because she was undergoing mental stress and trauma and he was off being a mountain man or whatever and she wanted to hug him. Because they hang out ALL THE TIME and for some reason people aren't constantly giving them a hard time about their obvious in-love-ness but they're always all up in one another's grill and it's adorable and I love them forever. BUT SOMETIMES TOTAL STRANGERS ARE LIKE SO SULLY WHY AREN'T YOU MOVING IN ON DR QUINN SEEING AS SHE LOVES YOU AND ALL and it's like, damn son, people who have known you for five minutes can see what is up, GET YOUR ACTS TOGETHER, but they're taking their sweet time being friends and all and flirting.)
Also I'd like to say that the older boy, Matthew, while not as handsome as Tahmoh, has the same look about him- it's something about the cut of his cheekbones and eyes. It's not at all unpleasant. I mean, he's no Joe Lando, but no one is as handsome as my TV Boyfriend. (So handsome! Sometimes he wears like all leather ensembles and it's awesome and then other times he wears this super ugly poncho and he's still amazingly handsome and there was an entire episode about how omgs Colleen has a crush on Sully and it's like, why is this shocking to anybody, she's got eyes, doesn't she?)
And I love Horace! The way he so seriously loves Myra enchants and delights me. (In case you hadn't noticed, this entire show enchants and delights me, it's magic all the time.)
LIKE RIGHT NOW, SULLY WAS JUST LIKE 'SO I CARE ABOUT YOU A LOT, AND WHEN I KISSED YOU ON YOUR BIRTHDAY I MEANT IT' AND MICHAELA WAS LIKE "YEAH IT WAS THE NICEST PRESENT I GOT" AND I CAN'T BREATHE and then they're all like "but I'm not ready" and UGH. I get it! I do! His wife and baby died! Her fiance died! I UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS TAKING SO LONG. But my heart is like JUST KISS AND GET TOGETHER, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
AND SEASON ONE ENDED WITH THE PICTURE BEING TAKEN WITH HIS ARM AROUND HER, I CAN'T, Y'ALL, THEY'RE TOO ADORABLE.
And then he made her a saddle. With her name on it. And the Cheyenne are looking at each other like, oh yeah, this is definitely a thing and Y'ALL I AM LIVEBLOGGING DR QUINN AND I DON'T EVEN FEEL ASHAMED.
Seriously, though, there should be a blog or tumblr that showcases Michaela Quinn's bitchfaces.
OMG SECOND TIME I'VE SEEN BYRON SULLY IN A SUIT AND MOTHER OF DRAGONS HE CUTS A FINE FIGURE.
Yeah right now Michaela's dressed up like a dude to ride in a horse race, I just... love everything about this show. It's so ridiculous and wonderful.
And then Sully handed her a rose and my heart like, stopped. Ah, shippiness when it's young and fresh, it's like nothing else.
The power just went out for a few minutes, and it was so alarming because I had no idea what to do. At home if the power went out, I knew to call the power company; at school I either lived on campus, so I knew the RAs were around and knew what to do, and the campus would take care of it, and then when I lived in my apartment I at least knew the number of the management company. Here, I have no idea who's in charge, or who to contact. Luckily the men of the families down the hall went out to investigate, and the power came back long before they could've gone to talk to anyone (who would they talk to?!) but it was still really scary because I was like, okay, I have a flashlight, but it's 8:15 and way too early for bed.
Other than that, today was pretty good. Met two more classes and some students asked questions and some just made weird comments but they were pretty okay, and then I met with the super nice teacher who really wants to take care of me because she's adorable- she's the one who offered to let me call home from her house, and today she told me where her doctor was, in case I need one, and where to find certain grocery stores, and also the location of her favorite boulangerie.
And, because I have priorities, I totally went to the boulangerie this afternoon and I got a DELICIOUS baguette and a pretty tasty chocolate thing as a treat but it felt very stereotypically French to be returning home with a fresh baguette for my dinner of... a hot dog in said baguette with ketchup, which wasn't very French of me. But it's less than a week until I go England to see Melissa and I AM SO EXCITED.
I did get just get a text message from one of my teachers I'm going to meet tomorrow and she's all "I might be five minutes late," which is great, because that means I'm going to be there for five minutes on my own D: ... if I can get into the classroom? That's a concern. Oh well! I've been very calm about this whole assistantship thing for reasons unknown to me.
Aaaand yesterday I had a really nice evening with my roommates where they were nice, and today we're back to super bitch! It's lovely.
