…so I had another dream about Drew earlier. This time he owned a restaurant by a mall that lots of Broadway performers frequented.

I was a regular at the restaurant, but somehow it didn’t register that I was coming in to see him and not the stars until I finally told him. Naturally, I woke up just as he was going to kiss me, but eh.

…so I finally dreamed about Drew, but it was kinda awkward. He and I were trying to make out in various places but we kept being interrupted by somebody’s kid who wanted us to play with him.

But the best part was that Drew was nice and squishy like he used to be (so like, how he looked during his sitcom days and/or his first few years on TPIR).

It’s really, really windy here (to the point where it’s basically howling at times) and it’s making me anxious.

…god, I wish Drew was here to snuggle with me (or at the very least, distract me from it).

This isn’t me thinking I’d like to write a companion piece to my latest story over on the red side. That is, write a first kiss story or something else that could be posted here.

I made it to Monday and was well-rewarded for it.

Drew was wearing oversized black glasses kind of like the ones he used to wear when he first started as well as skinny jeans. He looked good enough to eat (figuratively).

Just today and tomorrow to go and then I’ll be able to snuggle up to Drew again. I really hope I never have to be away from him so long again.

I just want it to be Monday already so that I can snuggle up to Drew. Weekends, I can (mostly) handle but anything more than that and I start going nuts.

Aka there’s been March Madness on for the past two days and I’m feeling deprived. Monday can’t come fast enough.

You might say he "Drew" you in, eh. 🤣

And then some, yeah.

Not gonna lie, I miss the days when he wore oversized glasses.

Honestly, when Drew first started hosting TPIR, I was watching for two reasons - to see what kind of weird (and hilarious) things he was going to say and to find out how he was going to do as host - but in a twist of fate and irony, my heart had other plans.

I mean, after finding out he was going to host, I was all, ‘Really? Who’d want to watch him?’ and now I can’t get enough of him.

Rumor has it DCS is not streaming seasons 2-9 because of the amount of music they used. Not sure if that’s true.

That’s not a rumor. And it’s exactly why nobody has his show but Etsy.

Quote by Mendalla

How much can Drew carry anyhow? 😜

Well, given that he’s stronger than he looks (which I know cause people jump on him on TPIR sometimes) I’d assume he can Carey quite a bit. I wish they wouldn’t though cause sharing him isn’t something I do well,

Quote by KatarinaTechgoddess
How many Carries could a Drew Carey carry if a Drew Carey could carry carries?

(By the way, I found the DVDs on Etsy with Elyse’s exact search wording. Not many left, but way cheaper than eBay!).

…now that, I don’t know.

Also I ordered one of those copies so there’s probably even less now…but I’m happy cause more Drew is always a good idea.

Quote by verbal
You mean buying one of the DVDs? I looked on Etsy but saw nothing.

Feeling better than I've felt in days! I think this flu is finally on the decline.

Weird. Did you try searching ‘Drew Carey Show DVDs’ the way I did?

Quote by Mendalla
I was trying out a documentary series on the history of sitcoms that's up on Gem, the CBC's inhouse streaming service. The series originally ran on CNN it looks like. And Drew is one of the "talking heads". First I have seen the beard. Wow does he look different with it.

Yeah. Took me awhile to warm up to it but now I love it cause it gives him an extra helping of DILF vibes.

Little things about Drew I live for:

The split-second realization of ‘oh my god did I really just say that out loud’ before he starts giggling at whatever he said.

Btw verbal - if you’re still looking for his sitcom, try Etsy. Just trust me on this one.

I get to see Jane next month cause Weakest Link will be back on April 17th. Brace yourselves - the posts are coming.

…so I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’ve finally warmed up to Drew’s beard after almost three years. I mean, yeah, I still miss seeing his dimples, but it’s okay.

He looks so good it’s not even funny.

I never said I was going to.

Hey, Elyse, we tried to watch Drew last night and couldn't find it? Are you still getting it on the Internet Archive? Di I ruin everything by watching?

I actually came here to update you on that. It’s been taken down, as you saw, but you can find it on DailyMotion. I would suggest watching on the website rather than the app, though, cause the episodes aren’t in order and the website makes it easier to find the next one.

What happened?

I tried to write poetry yesterday, but all of the things I could think of to put on the page came out sounding more like they belonged in a letter or - well, anything but poetry, really.

Quote by verbal
Elyse, I owe you one! We watched a bunch of Drew Carey Show this weekend. It holds up really well. Everyone in that cast is SO GOOD. We started in season one, so I'm jonse-ing for the opening songs in the later seasons.

You’re welcome.

Drew is an absolute gift and I don’t know what I did to deserve him. And if that extremely intimate ‘I love you’ wasn’t enough, he was wearing the lethal blue glasses and skinny jeans combo on Friday’s episode of TPIR.

I - I need a moment. Or several.

Quote by Mendalla
Interesting. Most celebs these days go for podcasts or satellite channels rather than radio, I find. It's a bit looser, I guess, and gives them a bit more control since the FCC regulations don't apply to podcasts. Good on Drew to do good old radio.

Well yeah, it’s satellite cause it’s on SiriusXM, but it’s not a podcast or anything - just him telling stories and playing music.

I, admittedly, don’t know half of what he’s playing but I’m also really just listening to hear him.

Drew has a radio show when he’s not hosting TPIR (a hobby he has, I guess) and at the end of this week’s episode, he ended it with ‘I love you’ the way he does at the end of TPIR.

Needless to say, I’m still thinking about it and I might need a moment or several cause an ‘I love you’ in my ears, so to speak, felt a lot more intimate and personal.

(I wanted to tell y’all about this as soon as it happened but I couldn’t cause the site was down for most of last night.)

…so I actually wrote something, but it’s definitely not long enough to be published cause it was just a quick little thing to put something on a page.

Quote by verbal
OMG thank you! We'll probably watch that this weekend!

No problem.

I’m really just in it for Drew, as I’m sure you know. Nobody makes me laugh the way he does.

Quote by verbal
Elyse, how are you watching The Drew Carey Show? I’m wanting to watch it now.

It’s free on the Internet Archive. And yes, they have the entire show.

Quote by verbal
I was a huge fan of Ian Hunter back in the day, and so was a huge fan of Cleveland Rocks way before the show. They’re all really good openings. What a creative show. Great cast.

It’s all fun and games until you mishear Solon as Soulland every time it’s the ‘Moon Over Parma’ opening though. I wish I was kidding.

Quote by KatarinaTechgoddess
I really liked that song, Five O’Clock World, if I’m not mistaken.

Yeah, that’s the song. After a certain point in the show, it’s kind of a lottery in terms of which of the three theme songs (Moon Over Parma, 5 O’Clock World, and Cleveland Rocks) you’ll hear.

Quote by Mendalla
Wow. Blast from the past, eh. I do like some of those old vocal groups.

…well, part of it is that one of their songs was used as the theme song for Drew’s sitcom for awhile, which is how and why I know about them.

Quote by Mendalla
Who? Now I am curious (and always up for a new band).

Don’t laugh but…The Vogues.
