Magnet #770 - NCIS

Ok, I didn't make this one, but it continues my cuteboy magnet marathon today, and so here it is.

NCIS, my late to the party, favorite procedural. And no, I haven't a clue why it says, "NCIS | Based on the TV Series." (Like, is this magnet image scarfed from a book series? From the DVDs? Who knows.)

I just bought it last week at the CBS store in Midtown. (Yes, I do silly touristy things like go to Times Square in the middle of the day sometimes.)

But, I had to buy this when I saw it, because the last time I went to the CBS store, they had none and I told them they should have some. (And, yes, in my own little universe, they totally made them because I said they should.)

What I had to do was keep myself from buying the other three magnets they had in stock. And had my friend not been there to judge and frown at the silliness of buying four NCIS magnets, I probably would have bought the whole set. (And yes, don't think I totally won't be going back to buy them at some point this summer.)

I just bought this one first, because it has cuteboy (sounds ridic to call him that, I know) Mark Harmon front and center (left?) with that half-smile that he does once in a blue moon.

Seriously. I'd bet money that if Gibbs didn't kill me first, I'd spend half my day trying to make him smile that smile.

No way home

Magnet #587 - Mission Beach, CA

My apologies to Mission Beach, CA - that's where I picked up this magnet while in town for a friend's wedding. I totally know the diff between them and Santa Monica, but I already used the Santa Monica magnet I have!

If you've read any of the cuteboy magnetposts in the last 586 magnets, you'll know that I pretty much have a TVboyfriend for everything. Up to, and including a weatherman crush. I know it's weird. But honestly. I collect magnets, didn't you hear? A crush is totally inbounds.

Besides, it's not like a real crush. You know how they talk about how people feel like they know soap stars because they're "in your living room every day"? That's kinda how I feel about Dave. I've been watching David Marshall Price pretty much every weekday morning for almost than a decade now, ever since he was the weatherman for our local Fox morning show, Good Day New York.

I remember when Fox produced the "Find a Girlfriend for Dave" segments - where he'd pick these chicks here in NYC, and go out with them. With the cameras following them. And then they'd dissect the dates during the show. A little odd. And a little annoying that they'd exploit the single guy that way.

I also remember when he was looking for a dog, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to get one, and in the end, he rescued a Golden Retriever. And named him Chance (the weatherdog)! C'mon, that's adorable!

So, when Dave headed to CBS for the local early show and then the CBS network (national!) weatherman gig, I was seriously thrilled for him. Which is crazy, because I've never met the guy. Which is crazier, because really, I'm in NYC, and if I wanted, I could see the guy every day at CBS Plaza. As it is, I've only been there once since he started...and that was only because a client was appearing on the show.

Anyway, the Early Show is starting a new series for Dave, No Way Home, where I'm sure Maggie will mock him ruthlessly as she always does.

Tomorrow, they're dropping Dave off in Santa Monica, with a jacket, backpack, cell phone, Blackberry (product placement?), $50 and a GPS bracelet to track him. (in case the camera crews lose him?) He then has to make his way home to New York, through his own ingenuity and on the kindness of strangers.

He'll be reporting, blogging and Tweeting along the way as well. I won't lie, I'm thoroughly fascinated by how he's gonna get home, and I've already RSS'd the production blog for the series.

Good luck, David Marshall Price! Get home safe!
