l is for laurie


ohhhh, my darling love, hugh laurie. sigh. i know i mention it often, but i pride myself on having had a crush on hugh like, a full decade or more before he struck all the common screens in 'house.' this shot is a screen capture i shot from the first-ever episode of the bbc's 'jeeves and wooster.' i turned it black and white and tricked the contrast. man, i don't know what it IS about hugh that makes me remember the 'good parts' about being in love. i mean, he's not even that cute by 'conventional' standards. but on the other hand, he's not quite ugly enough to qualify for the 'ugly is the new cute' classification. maybe its those ocean blue eyes. maybe its because he makes me laugh. his bit as the scarfaced jailer in the second season of 'blackadder' is hilarious. most of his sketch comedy series with stephen fry ('a bit of fry and laurie') was very funny and clever. i love the fact that he seems thin, but if you really look at his body in the 'jeeves and wooster' series, he's actually quite substantial. i mean, his chest and legs and back and thighs and shoulders look big and heavy, like heavy enough to 'pin you down.' ahhhh, man. i know he's like, all married and everything. i guess that's why the Good Lord gave me a very active and very, very vivid imagination. hey, hugh... i'll be 'thinking about you' later, whether you like it or not. mmmm.
