About a Boy
Last night The Boy and I were getting ready to go see Lee "Scratch" Perry (rockin') at the House of Blues, and I was perusing my web referrals.
Me: "Oh. My. God. Not Martha linked to me!"
The Boy: "What? Who?"
Me: "Not Martha! She is so cool!! She is the one who does the marble magnets that I've been telling you about and that you've been kind of ignoring me about in that way that glassy-eyed way that men do when you start to tell them about craft projects!"
The Boy:
Me: "This. Is. So. Awesome."
The Boy: "Hm. Well, I think your readers might like to hear about this character called, 'The Boy.'"
So, here are 10 things about The Boy.
1. He's tall.
2. He's real good to me.
3. We go to school together.
4. He's younger than me. I am a cradle robber.
5. He's made me watch "Robot Chicken," which I have to admit I kind of like. However, I cannot bring myself to watch "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law." A girl's gotta draw the line somewhere, especially when SOMEONE has TAKEN OVER your DVR and you found yourself deleting an old UFC episode so you could make room for "House Hunters," which you're kind of embarassed to admit you love to watch so much, but whatever, most of America watches "Two and a Half Men," so try to judge me now, suckas!
6. He didn't get weirded out or make fun of me when I cried because my homemade pizza was half raw. Hate you, faulty pizza stone.
7. He does, however, make fun of me when I sometimes accidentally snort when I laugh.
8. He loves his Starburies.
9. He thinks he and Fred have a special bond because they're Men.
10. I won him that tiki doll up there at the Port of Los Angeles Lobster Fest, at which he ate three entire lobsters within 20 minutes, I swear. The tiki doll is really ugly, and Fred and Ethel have both made the sweet love to it at one time or another. And yet it continues to sit on my bookshelf.

And obviously, the Boy sounds awesome, too. :) I can't wait to meet him.

I resisted Harvey Birdman for a while, but if you like Robot Chicken, you may like Harvey Birdman. Plus, it has the voice of Steven Colbert, so how can you go wrong?
