L is for the way you look to me

I defy anyone to finish the lyrics to that song without looking it up.  Personally, I can get as far as V, and then my mind breaks down around the E.

L is for the way you look to me
O 'cause you're the only one, I see
V is very very extraordiary
E you're everything I mumble mumble something mumble

And I'm sure there's at least one of you who's going to argue with my version of those lyrics. 

And the funny thing is, it's a classic song!  I swear its been in nearly every romantic movie since the song was first sung (1965 Nat King Cole thank you wikipedia).  But who (other than lounge singers) actually know all the words to it?  Rhetorical question do not feel the need to answer it.

And because I feel like making a random connection to something else, lets talk about a tv show that's all about love!

Sort of.

I recently started watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix, and booyah, am I having a good time!  I will freely admit I only watched the first episode for Neil Patrick Harris.  (Doctor Horrible!)  I then watched the second episode for Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan (Willow!) and because it made me laugh.  I have since watched the first two seasons.  But mostly for NPH.  And funny.  (Swarley!)  I'm not much of a sitcom person, I've never enjoyed shows that are all about people in relationships and out of relationships trying to have sex, but this is genuinely enjoyable because of the chemistry between all the cast.  You genuinely believe that they're all good friends and you really want to see what crazy/normal thing they're doing this week.  But mostly you watch it for Barney (NPH) and to see what terrible pickup lines he uses this time. 

I mean, his character is a horrible despicable person I'd love to slap if I ever met him in real life.  But the way NPH plays it is hard to describe.  You totally believe the character is awful and horrible, and yet you still like watching him because you know it isn't true.  Deft balancing act, there. 

And have I mentioned all the Joss grads?  (Well, I mentioned two of them).  So far I've seen:

Neil Patrick Harris (Doctor Horrible)
Alyson Hannigan (Buffy)
Alexis Denisof (Buffy and Angel and soon-to-be Much Ado About Nothing)
Morena Baccarin (Firefly)
Amy Acker (Angel and Dollhouse and soon to be Much Ado About Nothing)

And lots of other random people I recognized from other places.  But so many Joss grads!

Yep.  So in conclusion, laughing is good for you.  Now go and watch something funny.  :)
