For every reason that we have, every each day in a week is properly identified with an event, an event which makes Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday personalised. One may look forward to Friday because it's the last working day for the week; for some it's Saturday. Another may exclude all others except his own family for a Sunday. What makes up the milestone of your week?
(Alright, before I go on, allow me to narrow down your mind scope for this post. I am going to just talk about ONE ASPECT which helps me define each and everyday in MY WEEK.)
....So which day is this special day? ;) Well, to me Tuesday is just the day I look forward to ..... to watch one of my..... Mmmm, to be exact, I meant Tuesday nights! Precisely, at 10:00 p.m.
Have you ever thought about how would it be like working in a mortuary? Well, dead bodies freak me out. The kind of resemblance I get by imagining touching a motionless body or a corpse is just like holding a big dead fish. The cold, frozen flesh. And not to mention, the stiffness of the joints. Okay, so fish doesn't really have joints. My bad. Well, can you imagine being in a mortuary, surrounded by dead people whose death may have been a homicide? Or worse, working in one?
Back to how this relates to my Tuesday nights. So, every Tuesday I'll be meeting a lady I've found a personal connection with (in some very strange ways) as I watch her striding through her life. She is a crime-solving medical examiner who has abundance of knowledge regarding the human anatomy and the ways of it. She is Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh. Jordan, as fondly known to her fellow colleagues in the Boston Medical Examiner's Office is a headstrong, determined daredevil when it comes to getting what she wants. It's just like the tagline in the commercial which goes, "Stopping Jordan?" "Never".
Modest by appearance, but never fails to captivate. That's Jordan Cavanaugh. Well, Jordan is a pleasant personality that goes easy with everyone around her despite having a slight problem with her own anger management. She also, not to mention, is physically attractive (the kind of lady I'd rate as having natural beauty). So yes, I do not see myself relating to her when it comes to this --- How I W-I-S-H.
To make it less complicated --- Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh is a character in a weekly drama series called Crossing Jordan which I have followed diligently ever since I caught it being aired on Hallmark channel. Jordan's character played by Jill Hennessy is a rather complicated one. Despite having all the obstructions of things not going her way, Jordan always had the HER ways, ways that still do not make her any less appealing to her surroundings. That's what I call great intellect and charm. (Have you seen a lady who wants SO BADLY to get to the top, feeling insecured, BS-ting her way through and eventually makes herself looking like an awful piece of ...... before? Well, Jordan isn't anywhere near that.) Jordan is such a confident lady that she does not have any reasons to feel insecure. She clearly admits when she faults (which she rarely does). And finds her way through (playing a fair game) collecting evidence which eventually helped her in proving her womanly intuition, right.
Of course, Jordan Cavanaugh isn't the only one making the show. There is a line of seriously interesting characters such as Dr. Macy, Bug, Green, Woody, just to name a few of my other Jordan-sidekicks favourite. The series, Crossing Jordan interestingly got its name from a biblical text (refer Joshua 1:2). According to the Crossing Jordan encyclopedia online, it is a Judeo-Christian concept that when you die, you cross over the river Jordan (to the promise land). The bodies that come to the mortuary have 'died' and 'crossed' Jordan's path, in which she makes sure they have received justice by investigating their cases and hunting the murderers down. It's a play on words with Jordan's name and the biblical meaning of the term. It's clever. However, the description for the title is just the analysis by a fan who wrote the online Crossing Jordan encyclopedia, and not by NBC. But somehow, I could not rule this finding out as I just think the explanation makes a lot of sense, and one intelligent one too.
The impressive line up.
Did I mention that the show has stopped its production and airing in United Stated since its last in May 2007 (starting 2001) ? Well, it's not too late to catch them right here, in Malaysia -- while it lasts.
P.S - There is a hell lot to find out on her background which makes Jordan Cavanaugh, Jordan Cavanaugh. To figure out ---- watch, learn and read. Enjoy! ;)
