It Writes Itself

[oselle]

I had to take an endless subway ride out to Brooklyn yesterday to see the dentist and the train cuts through a part of that borough where there are these really beautiful old houses with great big front porches and stained glass windows and brick chimneys and it was about four o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was hitting the houses just so with that orange wintry light and I found myself thinking about Jared's house in Vancouver and for some reason I've always pictured it as this big, old, Arts-and-Crafts style bungalow, which I'd imagine they have plenty of in some of the older neighborhoods in Vancouver (I might just be getting that impression from years of seeing such houses in all the tv shows filmed in Vancouver). And it's not all gussied up and renovated but a little on the run-down and quirky side. Creaky floors. Loud plumbing. Big backyard for the dogs. Trees. Winter-bare trees. So anyway I'm sitting there on the train and it's Valentine's Day and I'm getting all sappy thinking about Jared's house or should I say, Jared and Jensen's house and I'm itching to get home and write some unforgivably pointless domestic cuddle-schmoop.

By the time I got home, though, it was so late and I was so tired and cold and cranky I'd lost the mood and then this morning I was playing my phone messages from yesterday and there...there was a babbling message from baylorsr about how apparently Jensen babysat Jared's dogs while Jared was in L.A. for the Friday the 13th opening and apparently Jensen took Jared's dogs to the set with him upon which Jensen apparently lost complete control of the situation because the dogs cheerfully jumped in a lake and and started swimming around during the shoot.

And I thought, wow, I'm so glad I didn't write any domestic schmoop because there's no need for me to do it. With these two? IT WRITES ITSELF. These guys are a freaking walking romantic comedy unto themselves. It's frigging Marley and Me only with two dogs and TWO INCREDIBLY HOT AND ADORABLE GUYS instead of Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson and oh my God. Oh my God, people. It writes itself.

Where did you go in Brooklyn? It sounds like you traveled through the neighborhood I grew up in.

I went to Coney Island but that's not where the houses were. I think they were around the Cortelyou Road and Beverley Avenue subway stations, which my map identifies as sort of between Flatbush and Midwood. I don't know Brooklyn very well.

Yep, that's where I thought. I'm from Flatbush originally (Cortelyou Road was our train stop) - - 18th street between Cortelyou and Dorchester. It was a lovely neighborhood back in the day.

I don't know what kind of neighborhood it is these days but I'd love to get off the train and walk around just to look at the houses. There are so few places left in the city where you have big, single-family detached houses like that.

If you ever do, another place to get off and walk is Newkirk Plaza -- there are many gorgeous old homes there too.

I KNOW.

Jensen and the dogs. That story is so cute :D

[oselle.livejournal.com]

I just imagine Jensen taking the dogs with him either because a) they would tear up the house with "Dad" out of town or b) he missed Jared and wanted the dogs with him instead or c) some combo of both. Either way...ADORABLE.

You've just made my day!

Jensen, Jared and their dogs. It doesn't get any better.

LOL about Jensen and Jared's dogs! So sweet!!! :-)

I know, I think of Harley and Sadie as "their" dogs now. It's seems so strange whenever I hear either one of them talk about doing something with his girlfriend because the two of them just seem so joined at the hip in...well, domestic bliss. I personally don't know of many married people who have as harmonious of a relationship as they seem to have.

Do you think Jensen let the dogs sleep in their his bed while Daddy!Jared is away?

[oselle.livejournal.com]

YES. YES.

Now if only I could go see it at my local cinema just as easily, life would be complete.

(OMG. The cuteness, it is blinding me!)
