Crippling Crush

I recently borrowed "Sports Night" from my good friend Mr. Alexander Zalben and have been making my way through two seasons worth of impossibly fast dialogue. Stupendous show.

Unfortunately, I am now completely in love with Ms. Sabrina Lloyd, who plays the perky Natalie on Sports Night. I won't get into how beautiful and brilliant and funny and amazing she is, because that would just be embarassing, to you, to me, to the blogosphere.

I swear, there are just some people who are so magnetic that you can't help but reach longingly toward the screen for the entire half-hour episode. And not in a lusty kind of way. In a committed long-term relationship kind of way. And that it is infinitely creepier.

Notable Celebrity Crushes In My Life:

-Jewel. My first celebrity love. I fought off many rude comments about her teeth back in the day. Suffice it to say, I bought her book of poetry.

-Drew Barrymore circa The Wedding Singer. I think it was probably seeing this movie with my recently exed-girlfriend who I still had a thing for. Nonetheless, Drew was a delightful pixie in this one. Hasn't really gotten me since.

-Scarlett Johansson and Kate Winslet. I'm a guy in my mid-twenties who saw "Lost in Translation" and "Eternal Sunshine." Of course I like Scarlett Johansson and Kate Winslet.

And now Sabrina.

Apparently she is in the first episode of the new season of "24", and even though I have not watched Seasons 2-4, you KNOW where I'm gonna be on January 15th, 2006...well, you don't know where I'm gonna be, but you know I'm gonna be watching FOX.

And what of the lovely Ms. Tatou? Is she to be discarded like yesterday's impossibly nymph-like trash?

Neal is 100% right.

I'm sorry Audrey. Please forgive me.

Yeah, that's a really really cute little actress right there. I've been "awwww"ing over her for some years. Thank you, Geoff. Today you've inspired me to stop keeping it to myself and go out and do something about it. Apologies in advance if your Christmas money has to become my bail money. I'm outties.

If you IMDB Sabrina Lloyd (it's acceptable to use "IMDB" as a verb like "google," right?), you'll see some sort of sexy-sounding movie titles which might be worth a look to people interested in her catalogue and whatnot. She was awesome in "Sports Night," but she was also great on "Ed," playing a somewhat similar character that was somehow even cuter. Certainly these are better examples of her work than "Sliders" and "The Father Hood." Or...not?

Then again, I listen to the Starline Vocal Band, so maybe I'm not the best one to listen to on this one.
