You gots questions, we gots answers! It’s like replying to all my fan mail but you get to see it.

Gentle reader Jody said:
For what it’s worth — all joking aside, which I am moderately loathe to do — you’re ACTUALLY in love with David Cook.

Not-so-Gentle Snarkstress answers:
Puhlease! In love with David Cook? Me? Oh honey, I am but a piker when it comes to the Cookie love! Check out this chick who has a blog titled “David Cook ruined my life”:

best ap ever

oh, hi, best shirt ever.

i stood next to him while he had it on.

i managed, i think, three syllables.

“hi” was one.

“thanks, dave,” were the other two.

if you’ve ever looked at this blog, you can probably surmise i am a fairly verbose individual. however, in the presence of that dude? complete loss of perspicacity. my friend had to literally steer me into his arms.

RUINED.

(but omg omg omg i met david cook! *flails*)

See? I didn’t go silent in his presence – I stuttered. True love = silence. Some sort of inappropriate lust = stuttering. (I do love him, though. Shhh. It’s our secret!)

And now, The Gal asks:
Do you like the arms better when they’re sweaty? I ask this as a Springsteen fan. I’m always hotter for the arms after he’s swung a guitar for an hour (or two).

Hmmm, a sheen of sweat is nice, it’s true. I will take those arms any damn way I can. Or someone with arms that nice. Honestly, how do you even explain arm porn to someone? I tried once and felt like a dumbass because he was all “Arms? You like his arms?” and I was all “Yeah.” and he was all “they’re just arms, dude.” and I was all “Yeah. I know. But they’re his arms.”

Gal seems to be very curious these days and asks another question:
Why Maddie Hayes?

moonlighting

Surely, we all remember the television show “Moonlighting” with Cybil Shepherd and Bruce Willis? I have always been a fan girl so back in the 80s, I was really into it (and “Thirtysomething” but let’s not go there.). My friend Charlie and I had the code names for each other: He was David Addison (the Bruce Willis character) and I was, of course, Madelyn Hayes (Cyb’s character). We still call each other that to this day. Because we are dorks like that. In other dorkitude news, the love of my life in my early 30′s was named Donald so he was “Hollinger” (from the show That Girl) and I was “Ann Marie”. When we have the occasion to talk these days, we always go by Hollinger and AM. I’m a nickname kind of chick. What can I say?

And again with the questions, that Gal:

RE: My post on reading Twilight:

twilight04

Is Edward played by Patterson in the movie? I see him on every magazine cover these days (along with Jon and Kate and various Jacksons). You’re right, he’s no Cookie. Too skinny and ephemeral. I bet you wouldn’t look twice at those arms.

Yep, the picture above is the aforementioned Edward and you know, even before I saw it, I pictured him that way. He is no Cookie but you can’t be all hunky and whatnot and be a vampire. I think those two are mutually exclusive. Vampires must be, by definition, ephemeral. Plus, if they had the arm porn, people would be trying to bite THEM and that’s just not the natural order of things!

That’s all the time we have for questions today, kids. If the other reader of this blog (whomever you may be) wants to ask a question to be answered at a later date, have at it. Otherwise, it’s all blather all the time.

Things that make me smile

Luke

Meet Luke, Cousin O’Cool’s boychild. He is the most fun kid (how could he not be with who he has as a mom?) and so damn cute. You’d never know he’s just two, would you? He melts my heart when he finds me in a crowd, takes my hand and leads me over to sit near him. I asked C O’C if he did that for everyone and if the answer was yes, don’t tell me. Heh. She said he didn’t so that made my day! Yeah, our family pretty much adores this kid. Plus, he has a name that starts with the letter “L” in honor of our sweet girl Lauren.

Goddaughter of Love #2

This is baby Sophia, who is officially my Goddaughter of Love #2. Despite looking like a small Rush Limbaugh, I adore her! hehe Sophia is smart, snorty and half of a set of twins that our friends Kim and Sal are adopting. I am beyond thrilled to be asked to be a Godmother again. And I know Lauren sent this. How do I know? Well, Cousin O’Love pointed out to me that in this picture, I am wearing a “Life is Good” tshirt (La was wearing one in her last days on earth) and Baby Sophie is wearing yellow (La’s signature color). So, yeah. Thanks girly. I will love her muchly.

The view from my sunroom

This is the view from where I sit in my sunroom. It’s our backyard and while I don’t often go in the pool, sitting near water (even if inside in the air conditioning) is very peaceful. I am pretty sure we bought the house just for this view.

Ah! ‘Tis a bittersweet evening for me as I venture northish to Delaware to see sekrit boyfriend for the last time this summer. We had a close encounter of a nice kind in Towson, a far-away and sweaty encounter in Virginia Beach and I think this evening’s will be more like the latter than the former. That is, if it doesn’t rain on me and sekrit boyfriend. Then it will be sweaty, steamy and we’ll all just be a mess. (Although, I have heard that sweaty, steamy and sekrit boyfriends can be a good combo. Can I get a witness?)

There are two more local shows but I didn’t get tix in time for one (small, possibly acoustic show) and the other is sold out with tix going on the secondary market for $300. As I mentioned earlier, that won’t fly. So, this is it for me and my TV boyfriend as far as I know. After tonight, I must release him into the wilds on his own. /sobs into a kleenex/

Such is life for a cougar. (DON’T CALL ME THAT! You know who you are!)

This clip is not for the easily offended but it is HYSTERICAL! And bonus arm porn!

Long-ish but worth it.
