But I want them to!

Look at them. Olivia and Elliott. Benson and Stabler. Hard at work on the other side of the yellow tape. Two dedicated New York city detectives investigating heinous, sexually-based offenses for the Special Victims Unit. But much to my chagrin, the brave cops who form the foundation of Law & Order: SVU will never be rewarded with romance.

That pisses me off because I believe they are in love. Watching today's USA SVU marathon confirms it for me. Sure, I sense sexual chemistry between them (I especially feel it when El loses the jacket and rolls up his sleeves; those arms lead to strong shoulders and a firm, hairy chest, I just know it). But it goes beyond the heat these two generate. They understand one another in a way no one else could because no one else has seen what they have seen. They share a passion and compassion for crime victims. Olivia, because she was born of rape. Elliott, because he's a good father who can imagine the anguish survivors feel.

Oh, I know … they will never act on all this affection and passion. Elliott would never cheat on Kathy and Olivia wouldn't want him to, anyway. Liv and El's lives have become so intertwined that Olivia found herself caring for Elliott's pregnant wife after a car accident, and was there for the birth of their youngest son. Besides, if Olivia and Elliot slept together, they couldn't work together anymore, and they are each other's perfect partner.

Even more relevant, they saw what happened to Moonlighting after Dave and Maddie did it.

Congratulations, Cutie!

Geovany Soto is one of three Cubs named to start at this year's All-Star Game. What an honor for a rookie! And is there a more adorable little pup in the MLB?

Alfonso Soriano was chosen but may not make the game because of that hand injury. Kosuke Fukodome also made it and will start in the outfield. I'm proud of these Cubs but I'm thrilled for Geovany Soto. Hats off to the fans who did the right thing and voted for him.

Look what I found! Guess where I found it.
