osprey_archer | "You speak treason!" 'Fluently!"

I feel inexplicably blissful - not that I usually sit around weeping; but my friends are all leaving for college, so more sorrow is in order.

I think it's the lovely weather. After three days of rain and lightning and tornado watches, we have sunshine and a breeze

Also, the afterglow of a couple of excellent Pushing Daisies episodes. (I'm finally catching up with them.) I loved "Robbing Hood" - partly because I'm a sucker for Robin Hood stories, but also because Pushing Daisies does sweet, idealistic, totally cracked villains really well. And "Comfort Food!" Which has the best costumes ever! (Seriously, could Ned and Olive be any cuter in their stripy vests?) And the reappearance of Muffin Buffalo from Wonderfalls! And Olive singing!

Now that we know that Pushing Daisies and Wonderfalls take place in the same world, I have this urge to do a crossover where Jaye goes to the Pie Hole, even though the only animal shaped thing that could talk to her there are those little bumblebee lapel pin intercoms that Olive and Chuck sometimes wear.

But that would work, right? Olive could be wearing the bumblebee (because Emerson et al are investigating a homeopathic drug smuggling ring and she's trying to get the homeopathic salesman who had a crush on her first season to confess), and it would talk to Jaye and Jaye could somehow help transfer Olive's affections from the Piemaker to that homeopathic medicine guy, while simultaneously helping Emerson find the real drug smuggler!

"It's so sweet," Jaye said, gagging a little, as she watched Olive and Mr. Homeopathic Dude share a piece of Georgia peach pie a la mode. Eric put an arm around her shoulder.

"It certainly is," said Emerson, smiling paternally at his newest pile of fifty dollar bills.
