God Bless Texas
We made it here fine. By fine, I mean, we didn't perish in the massive snow storm that we hit in Tennesse. It was so bad we had to stop three times, for a total of three hours, because of wrecks on the interstate. It was insane! More insane? We stopped at a rest stop just outside of Dallas and it was hot. We let Ainsley out while I cleaned up her area of the car. She and Cheyenne ran around and played. Then she did the back arch-y thing and didn't want to get back in her car seat.
My mom has been very sick for a month and my little sister got strep the day before we got here, so we spent all day yesterday overhauling the house. My dad is so thrilled to have us here. He's been trying to keep the place together and my bums of brothers haven't done anything. There was a speech about my dad being the president of the house and me being the sheriff or the national guard or something like that. Anyways, I've got the power to smack the brothers down and assure that they follow my orders. Yesterday, Cheyenne and I cleaned my little sister's room, which will be my room, and the smallish type indoor storage with window that will be Ainsley's room. With all that done, today's project is the family room and possibly the rest of the music room.
As sad as I was to leave my fabulous friends, it was nice to go to Sonic yesterday. Hop in Dad's truck, windows rolled down, to grab my cranberry limeade. Also, my trip to Wal-mart was great. Man, I missed Super Wal-mart. Here's the contrast in weather. My google page says that today's high at Fort Meade is 43, that's what the temp is now in San Angelo, with a high of 78. God Bless Texas.
Project Runway: I fell asleep, but I could have told you that Chris was going to be knocked out with human hair on his clothing. Eww. I also agreed with Nina that both Rami and Chris' clothes were so goth. Where's the color?
Lost: Okay, so everyone had flash forwards, except Desmond. He's had a few of those time travel incidents before, but these were fantastic. He's hot in 1996. I have a weakness for Celtic men.
Does anyone else love Daniel Farraday? He's nuts and I love it! Why don't the boaties want him to talk to Desmond? What harm is there? I also "aww-ed" when I saw that his journal mentions that Desmond is his constant. And I almost cried when Penny and Desmond were able to finally speak to each other. Not that it did any good. Once I was done being emotional about the incident it just annoyed me. Why not say something like, "stuck on an island, crazy boat folks won't answer your calls, help! send coast guard!"
I've also been thinking back two eps to when Farraday saw Desmond the first time. Did he give any clue that he knew who he was? And the line about prolonged exposure to radiation of electro magnetic fields, isn't that what the button pushing was? How did Desmond survive that anyways? And of course, the numbers. "set the machine to 2.342 and 11 hertz." That's part of those spooky numbers. Did Desmond make the connection?
Cheyenne's fun theory: He thinks that the flash forwards weren't really that at all, but were just these guys going into the future. I'm not inclined to agree, but I thought I'd post it.
BTW I thought I'd let all you Office lovahs know that it returns on April 10th.
So, I guess I can talk about a canned show in TV Chatter. On the way home we finished the seventh season of The West Wing. As much as I love this show, the last two seasons seem out of character for a few characters and they just don't bring the funny. Also, it seems like the beginning theme of the show (we are the government, but we screw up as much as anyone else) turned to "we are superheroes." They fixed the middle east, social security, and Castro. Really? That's absurd. Not to mention the senior staff dwindled and no one was replaced? Even if you've only got a year left in office, you still have to run the country!
Josh and Donna finally got it on, but it felt forced and that's where I felt the out of character-ness. (not a real word, I know) Josh less than Donna. I get that Donna moved on and grew and had a mind for politics, but she would not get done with Josh and ask about polling in Wisconsin. Anyone else think John Wells was as bad as a poor fanfic writer? Josh couldn't date Amy, so why did we turn Donna into a better version of her? Donna and Josh worked well because they balanced each other. She told him to eat his vegetables and go home. He taught her about policy and then she presented the excellent counter argument. But during the seventh season she just became him with more sleep and less stress. But, hey, they did finally get together. I guess I'm just asking for too much.
Toby would not have leaked that info and I have a hard time believing that CJ would be that offended. She almost leaked a gazillion stories to the press. Toby's issue is loyalty and he leaked classified info? Yeah right.
Okay, last thing that really bugged me was the constant dropping of story lines. Where's the canon? Margaret is pregnant? No, just that one ep. Charlie wants to marry Zoey? Nope, just the one ep. I would have liked to have seen more of this stuff, but it got tossed so we could see more of Will and Kate dating, and Josh going crazy.
