24 7.17/cuteness

So I finally watched last Monday's episode of 24, which is really the first one since my increased level of fangirling. I was just totally weirded out watching it because it was really hitting me that it's Cherry Jones. On 24. That's kind of awesomely random. I mean, obviously I've watched her on the show since the season started, but I've spent the last two weeks reading about her theatre work (and cultivating this obsessive desire to see her in any play), so it suddenly strikes me as crazy that this well-known stage actress is appearing on TV in this role that could have potentially been boring and sort of a figurehead thing, on a show that isn't necessarily recognized for its emotional depth the way other shows are. It seems very random and out of place, and I didn't entirely realize it until I evaluated the rest of her career and tried to merge the two.

Sidenote: I love Cupid. It satisfies the romantic sap inside of me, and the cynic in me doesn't have to waste time objecting to everything because Sarah Paulson is already doing it for me. It's pretty convenient.

Since I've already mentioned both of them in this post, I think it's probably the most appropriate time to post these:

These are from right after it was announced that Cherry won the Tony for Doubt. (Sorry they're so small; I screencapped a youtube video of her acceptance speech and I didn't want the excessive pixelation to ruin the cuteness.) I don't think I've ever fangirled a non-fictional kiss between two women in a relationship, so this one is pretty epic for me. It just seems so innocent and sweet, with the hand-holding and the eye contact and everything, so...I ship them forever, pretty much.
