It's true. I realized it on the Fourth of July when I chose to stay in and watch a marathon of MythBusters instead of enjoying the beautiful day. I'm oddly fascinated by the weird stuff they come up with - like getting sprayed with a skunk to see what cleans it off best (Episode 16). Or constructing a crossbow out of newspaper (Episode 44). Or even weirder (Episode 78 - Can you Walk on Water?).

There's also Deadliest Catch, which I accidentally watched while in San Diego for my sister's wedding, and then immediately went on a watching spree when I came home. Holy crap is crab fishing insane! I even got Frinklin into DC, which is narrated by...

Mike Rowe. Dirty Jobs is on almost as much as MythBusters, and I'm all the happier for it. I will often TiVo it so that I can indulge myself in the evening when I have time to watch several episodes at once.

There's no two ways to put this - Mike Rowe is hot. Aside from the fact that he's a damn handsome man, the ability to remain funny and charming while standing in or shoveling large amounts of poo is a rare quality. And he's a Renaissance man - used to be an opera singer, is currently writing a novel, and plans to return to the stage once Dirty Jobs ends (we'll just forget about the QVC stuff, OK? Although he still had a funny/charming/self deprecating thing going on even then).

When discussing Mike, I always refer to him as, "my other boyfriend."* (My original boyfriend being Zach Braff, although I've heard he's a douche bag, so I'm considering dumping him and going with Mike full-time).**

*I realize referring to someone as "my boyfriend" when I'm already married makes me sound like my grandmother, who used to refer to various celebrities as "my boyfriend" even though they were 40 (or more!) years younger.

**Hi Honey! I love you!

3 Wow. That was a totally backhanded compliment. He's 45 year old. What are you, nine?
