Colbert on Letterman. Was able to get it in - crystal clear, mind you - and it's a good thing. I'd read about the boat that he and his son built from scratch over a summer, and he showed pictures of it - the maiden voyage, with his elderly mother in it, casting off in the shallows; a shot of him and his son, sailing in it, displaying both the South Carolina state flag and a Jolly Roger, of course; and him, in blissful suburbia, wearing baggy, longish 'dad shorts' standing proud upon completion, and and and and....and apparently, he drinks 'Red Stripe' beer, which I had to look up (it's Jamaican).

*contented sigh, nonetheless*

I'd rather spend the rest of my life alone, than settle for a guy any less than, 'of that ilk' or a reasonable facsimile. He really *is* The Standard. SMART, FUNNY, BUSY, good-hearted, honest, pothead, SMART, goofy, forthright, gentlemanly, tuned-in, wise-ass/drama balloon-popping, silly, spiritual, empathic, SMART, bossy, constantly talking, and he really CAN dance, perfectly neat Superman hair, traditional-minded, KICK-ASS AT TRIVIAL PURSUIT, building-a-mutha-fuckin' BOAT, SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHING...and did I say SMART?

A lovely thing, after a two-hour brain-shredding, soul-dicing marathon phone call from my older sister, who ranted (she literally screams in lieu of talking) at me non-stop, running the gamut from My Health (and Teh Man's) to Our Childhood to Her Marriage to Why You Are The Way You Are And Why We Are Different to a crying jag in regards to our father to Work to Her Cats...to..to..Why She Hasn't Seen Me Since The Last Holiday...uh. There's a good reason for that.

I just stay out of their way, these days, if possible.

DJ and I are discussing getting a Wii.

An-n-n-nd my Colbert desk calendar came today! It's a beautiful sight. :)

I saw that!!! It magically came in clear - my reward for shoveling all that snow in the morning, I guess. And yes - no ''balls'' jokes - which I had expected, as well, after I'd seen on her site that that was the craft they'd be making - and I loved that he seemed disappointed that they weren't cooking (Stephen + Food = Bliss). Now, I really don't have a problem with Miss Martha - being raised with a name like, 'Martha' HAD to have affected her head, lol - she just makes me feel GUILTY, lol...

I won't be able to watch it, but CHRISTMAS SPECIAL AIRS TOMORROW! (I pre-ordered mine from Amazon..)

I'm so glad you caught that episode of Martha - I loved it when he was pouring glitter all over the pearl thingies! Martha just makes me glad I'm not anal-retentive. Hee!

I can hardly wait for the Christmas special - although I'm sure they'll repeat it a gazillion times between now and Decemebr 25th. ;)

Me, too....and me, too. Hehehhhe - and Martha's going, ' So WASTEFUL!!!', like, once the glitter's out of the container, IT CAN NEVER GO BACK...yes. I also loved when she called him, 'Ornery' - it's funny, 'cos it's true..I love the five-year-old side of him. ♥
