Joe Flanigan - father of the motherfucking year.

[mrsronweasley]

So, okay. Because I - clearly - have no shame at all, I decided that instead of doing a bazillion things I have to do before Sam got here, I would, instead, wait for him while watching yet another UNAIRED PILOT starring Joe "It's a Damn Good Thing I'm This Pretty" Flanigan called "Gramercy Park 111". Let me tell you about it, while I hide behind my hand, shamefaced.

It's about a big rich house in New York City and all its inhabitants. It's got quite the cast of people you've seen ALL OVER THE PLACE (including Urkel, guys - that's right), and it's filled with your usual trite caricature-like characters.

Enter Jack. Jack is married to (fuck I forget her name) and they're both lawyers. He is desperately in love with their newborn baby son, forgetting all about his work in favor of acting like a father, while his wife, who never actually wanted a kid in the first place, really wants to get back to work. She couldn't give two craps about their baby, basically.

There is another family with a baby, and both have just hired new nannies - Maddie (hired by JF and wife) and Bryn (one of the "Sweet Valley High" twins and YOU THINK I'M KIDDING). Maddie is nice. The other one has Evil on her mind. In any case, so, we see all these people playing with babies, right?

And only one person in the entire cast seems to know how to actually handle a baby. Guess who.

You guessed it. Here's the evidence:

(The quality was shit, so the caps kind of suck. I apologize.)

This is Evil Nanny picking up baby, so his head lolls back:



This is Uncaring Wife and Mother finally voluntarily picking up her child. Same problem.



Here, she struggles to hold him right:



Enter the Flan:



He's happy to see his wife attempting being a mother:



Less than thrilled, she quickly hands the baby over to him. Observe the technique:

Step 1: HOLD THEIR NECK:



Step 2: Grab the bottom/legs at the same time:



Step 3: Awwww. Feel free to love them along the way. (Whose ovaries just exploded? Fess up, people.)



Step 4: Hold them snuggly and comfortably. The bottom patting is optional, but is so cute, you may want to give it a try. (He seriously stood there for a whole minute, just smiling a bit and patting the baby's bottom very gently. I nearly died.)



Yep. Only one who actually knew what to do with a baby. Gotta love it.

And he's pretty, too!



Especially when he broods...



In conclusion? Oh, Joe Flanigan. It is SUCH a good thing you're pretty. And, apparently, totally domesticated. Seriously, when he kissed the baby, I just about died. It's pathetic. What is WRONG with me?


Send help. NOWPLZ.

JOE FLANIGAN'S NAME WAS IN THE SUBJECT.

Heh.

Hi, C, hiiiiiii! ♥ *clings*

[c-regalis.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. But there, well, was that Callum icon. So I thought, you know? Maybe a bit of both? *sigh*

Hiiiiiiiiii! ♥\m/♥\c/\♥

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. I do still have something stored up for you! It's really stupid. But I might just do it. To keep you happy, and all. ;)

I miss youuuuuuuuuuu! *cries* Maybe it was your absence that led me to throw myself into the arms of another man. *g* (Not that Callum's been abandoned. God, no. He's still. I mean. Callum.)

[c-regalis.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, something for meeee? Or, well, something CALLUM? Which I will like? Something stupid which will make me happy? *dances (tiredly) in anticipation*

And I miss you toooooooooo. But it looks like I will have time for LJ, like, really time, after Christmas. That's not so long anymore now. That's pretty SOON. *beams*

And see, I am OKAY with you liking other guys. That's OKAY. But then, you know, there is DI. She doesn't ever show up anymore, and when she does? SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THAT GUY. (*is NOT swayed in any way by the scowl/baseball bat/bitch thing* *almost not at all*) This is NOT. OKAY. *pants* Just saying.

*is NOT swayed in any way by the scowl/baseball bat/bitch thing*

Heeee. You don't have to convert to Flanigan love over the baseball bat thing, just... you should witness it someday. Just. Yeah. It's right up your alley.

Ahem. Sorry, it's just... my life is SUCKING right now, so the only thing I can use to distract me is SGA, because it (finally, after over a year of watching casually) hit me like a ton of bricks back in, um, August? (Btw, how pissed off am I that my plan of avoiding LJ until I get a job like a responsible adult is totally not working? Answer: Very pissed off. No job yet, and I only break down and talk to people on LJ when I think I will go INSANE if I don't.) Conclusion: Avoiding LJ makes me actually watch shows! If only I'd known this back when my dS love was RAGING.

Not like my love of dS or Callum or you could ever go away, though. ♥ Be patient with meeeee. I need distraaaaaaaction, and right now, SGA is a happy place.

Um. Someone sent me a download link. And, uh, I might have a episode of CSI Miami on my computer right now. Ahem. *eyes it suspiciously*

(And I know what you mean, with trying to stay away from LJ and stuff. And you know what? It doesn't work. You know? You'll be just unhappy and start getting cranky and twitchy instead. *nods wisely*)

I'll hope you will find a job soooooon though. A job is a good thing. Or, you know, can be a good thing. It has the potential to be a good thing. Or something like that.

HEE. You should know that if you're going for context (like you tend to) and watch the whole thing, CSI is a very pretty, not very sense-making show. It's all flash, not much substance. It's like a music video, really. David Caruso has a really pleasant voice, so that helps.

You'll be just unhappy and start getting cranky and twitchy instead.

EXACTLY. And right, job doesn't have to equal unhappiness; I just need to find something I can deal with. As it happens, what I'm qualified to do isn't what I want to do anymore, so my choices are 1) do familiar/boring stuff for security, or b) throw caution to the wind and do something that I don't hate but will pay less, due to having no experience. HRM.

[c-regalis.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know CSI Miami. I watched a few eps, back then when I still had a tv. I kind of know what it is about. And I didn't hate it or so. So, you know.

Well. You should definitely try the second option. Just saying. I would. But then, I don't need much to be happy. At least not much money. As long as I have enough to pay the rent and have a good internet connection and can afford to eat every now and then, I am pretty happy. And, well, go out from time to time. As long as I have a job I can live with, you know? A job that doesn't suck the life out of you? This kind of job.

God, you've seen CSI Miami? Well, I don't... hate it? It's awfully pretty. I'll say that. (And I do love how DRAMATIC OMG David Caruso's character is. It's just, god, the dialogue is terrible. But I do smile every time he flicks his sunglasses off and says something in a grave tone.)

And ah, I wish money weren't a problem. It's just that rents out here are crazy-high ($1000 - $1100 per month for a studio apartment! that's like 750 - 850 Euros, for one room with a kitchen and bathroom) and to be honest, I'm doing this with an eye toward moving out on my own. The only other option is get roommates, and since I've had zero privacy for the last nine years, that's not my first choice. Though, if I were sharing a larger place with strangers, I'd at least have my own bedroom. ::rubs temples::
