And you forgot to mention the red-headed goddess who resides at the house. You know, the one who willingly marched down the aisle to Darth Vader’s theme.

and I don’t know where Martuf came from. Actually, I think he was Samantha Carter’s love interest for a few episodes. He’s a Tok’ra.

Annette-please don’t tell them about Jude and me-they think I want to marry the lead singer of The Fray and they are happy with that.

I can answer your question about who PCD is. She’s Pop Culture Diva, and you can find her link on Lady T’s webpage (living read girl–that link is to the side here).

Welcome back. Stay.

every now and again i have to work at something we in the real world like to call a real job. it seems i have a lot of catching up to do.

1. lady t.–who, or what, is PCD?

2. diana–total compliment to be compared to monica. she’s so, so…clean, and she cooks. it’s a running joke between my daughters and me that they would be perfect, if only they were more like monica. so of course i’m hoping for a daughter-in-law who will fill that void and share my incredibly sophisticated and nuanaced sense of humor. also, you (and anyone who hasn’t) must read “under the tuscan sun” (i didn’t see the movie, so maybe that too)–it is literally delicious. be prepared to gain a few pounds as it will put you into a cooking/feeding frenzy–ahhh.

3. herb–are you aware that patrick’s house does not come with servants but rather one small male child to whom you must apparently endlessly read and reread one of those “sammy the steam engine” or “etta the earth mover” kind of books. wouldn’t it just be easier to watch the launch on tv? or easier still to just envision it? last, how nice would a $6,500 hotel room have to be? ouch–i hope the mini bar is comped.

4. deborah–is the jude law fixation something you would want your young children to know about you, really?

5. patrick–and i know i may regret this, is “martuf” someone, or something, that i should know (maybe a character in “princess bride”) (that’s right, i’m NOT going to google it).

now i can sleep at night.

I’d go anywhere with him if he acted as a proper manservant should.

“Hello, I’m here. Have you met my new manservant Martuf?”

“Isn’t that Jude Law?”

“Yes, but we call him Martuf.”
