Okay, I think I may be falling in love. Wasn’t Kellie so cute last night on American Idol?
But you guys already know how head-over-heels I am for Kellie … this week I bring new crush for y’all.
This season, I’m hooked on this show on CBS called How I Met Your Mother. (for another cool site, click here)It’s actually one of the better-written sitcoms on TV these days. You can’t help but fall in love with the ensemble cast, which include Neil Patrick Harris (aka Doogie Howser, MD) and Allyson Hannigan (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and band camp girl from American Pie). Narrated by Bob Saget of Full House, it is a story about friends and a guy named Ted. These past couple weeks, Ted has been dating this REALLY cute girl named Victoria. And they met, ironically, at a wedding and seemed to really hit it off. I couldn’t put my finger on where I had seen Victoria before, but I did know that she was really hot. I pondered, and pondered, and pondered … and finally realized that I had seen her just a few weeks before in an episode of Monk. Although in that episode, she is playing a crazed, psychopathic murderer. She was still pretty, though.
After doing a little research, I found out that this cutie was actress Ashley Williams … and that her cute genes ran in the family. Her sister is Kimberly Williams-Paisley, who definitely got my attention as Annie Banks in the Father Of The Bride movies.
I chose Ashley as this week’s cutie for couple of reasons. For one, her character just left for culinary school in Germany. Who knows if her long-distance relationship with Ted will work? Will we ever see her again? Only the producers know …
But I think I also chose Ashley because of the little bit of her that she brings into the character. No matter how good the actress (or actor), you can tell some of the elements that they bring into the role … the elements that aren’t pretend. Victoria, in the show, has this sweet, genuine, “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” quality; but at the same time, you’re always wondering. Always guessing. Always pondering the mystery. Always finding something new. She has this little something that is undefined, but you know you want it. I guess you could say it’s my ideal girl, if there is such a thing. A little bit of sweetness and a little bit of mystery and excitement all rolled into one. Someone to get in trouble with and someone to be good with.
I guess that’s my ultimate quest … to find someone like that. I am doing great as a single guy … no complaints in that category … but I’d be lying if I said it wouldn’t be cool to find someone to be a dork with … but also be serious with. Heck, if we all could find someone like that we’d be so lucky.
I really don’t have anything to say about W, but…
Hmm. Does anyone ever comment on your blog?
This is Chris, a 46-year-old teacher in Indiana looking at your blog. I’m taking a class on blogs and somehow managed to get through the stultifying filter on our system’s server to stumble across your blog. (Say that three times fast…). So does anyone ever comment?
Okay, then I will. I think your niceguysociety.com sort of contradicts your Cutie of the Week thing, doesn’t it? I don’t know, it just doesn’t seem like the two philosophies mesh well.
The thing that really hooked me, however, was the pen fetish. May I ask–are you left-handed? Because I’m left-handed and I have a thing about pens, too. I really love(d) gel pens, for example, but being left handed, my left pinky finger always drags through the ink making it look like I’d recently had my pinky finger broken and bruised in several places. I used to do a lot of journal writing, but now I can’t even write a note to excuse my children from school unless I’m sitting in front of a keyboard… Pens…soon to go the way of carbon paper, I fear. :-)
Okay. Great blog. I guess you would say it’s really more for you than for others, right? Honestly? I wish I had as much free time as you do.
By the way, according to the evaluation standards given to us by our instructor, your blog rates pretty high–lots of content, lots of outside links, blah-blah-blah.
Thanks for sharing.
Chris
