The enigmatic Don Draper

Read a good article about the mystique of Mad Men’s Don Draper. Here’s my favorite quote:

“He is so sexy,” said another. “I love him,” said a third. “He looks like he would know how to throw me to the wall and do me right.”

Yeah. What she said. If I go any further, I’d veer into TMI category and that’s something I generally don’t share with the world at large (and the very few family members who frequent this here blog-o-rama). So, pretty much, yeah. (sigh)

I know the Gal is right there with me on the sigh-age. In fact, it is all her fault I am even on this bandwagon! And I blame Cousin O’Cool for the Twilight fascination that’s caused me to read a bizillion pages about true lurve with a frickin’ vampire.

Did I mention I watched the movie Saturday night? Suckfest (HA! pun NOT intended) it was but it fleshed out the character of Edward much more than the book. I’d like a boyfriend that’s hot for me AND can tote me around all over the place at very high speeds.

(Should I get my hormone levels checked? This post is all about the hawtness. I just need to add some cookies into the Mad Vampire stew and there’s an interesting broth indeed. (Gross, but interesting.))

Off to take a cold shower or something.

Q & A time!

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.

Here are a few things going on in greater downtown Snarkville:

* I love Twitter! I have such fun with the Cookie Chicks when they are out and about at shows I’m not. That’s who I mostly talk back and forth with but there’s the occasional random person from my life who pops up now and again. I had it hooked up to post my tweets to Facebook but that was like worlds colliding so I unhooked that. LOL My life is (mostly!) an open book – talking about woo-woo, David Cook, and the like, so if you follow me on Twitter, bring along some caffeine or something to keep you awake.

* Reading Twilight because I am nothing if not a follower. So far, it’s not too bad. The writing is easily digestible (I’ll say it that way) and it goes quickly. Bella is cool even if she hasn’t yet deduced there’s a reason Edward is always right there whenever she gets into a jam. Cousin O’Cool gave me her four books so I can hop from book to book. Nice summer reading. (But Edward is no David Cook! haha)

EC is DC wannabe

* Remember when I said I was going to do an hour of Seminary work every night? Yeah. No. Not so much. Jeez. I suck.

* Had fun at Luke’s 2nd birthday party. Kids, kids and more kids. A baby for me to hold (the always sweet and amenable baby Lauren from next door) and yummmy cake to eat. And bonus! *My gift* turned out to be his favorite one! Score one for the barren women of the world! heh Remote controlled cars for everyone! W00t!
