Back at ye ol' job. Oh joy oh rapture. The only good thing about this (besides the money) is the fact that I'm much more organized and proactive when I'm at work. Things like filling out student loan applications actually get done in a timely manner when I'm doing them in a business setting. I guess that when my time is my own I fritter it away on ( Read more... )

So tonight is the series finale of The West Wing or some such and the Baylor Sister is TiVoing it for us not because we really care how it ends (Jimmy Smits? Who cares about him? And Josh/Donna = eeeeeeew *shudder*) but we do care about seeing Josh and Sam interacting on our TV screen again, no matter what. When she called to tell me what she'd be ( Read more... )

Got some wicked food poisoning from a bad egg salad sandwich yesterday. Moral of that story? If the egg smells off don't just think, 'oh, a little mayonaise'll take care of that.' because it really won't.

All better now but spent lots of time sleeping yesterday and today. Some of that might've also been inspired by the mini-West Wing marathon held ( Read more... )

So, when surfing the internets and seeing the name 'Sam' I have to remember that most people are talking about that WB show with the brothers and the car and not about Sam Seaborn on The West Wing. It's just baylorsr's evil sister tempted me into buying the season one dvds and we marathon'd a little last night and all I can think is ' ( Read more... )

Spent a while today organizing 2005's photos and loading them onto their own CD for storage. Was frustrated to discover that my pictures from the UM-Illinois football game had somehow disappeared in translation. Technology fails me again.

All I have to say about Friday's BSG is that it was a very West Wing episode of Battlestar Galactica. This ( Read more... )

A couple of things. First, realized that we're living in the Mirrorverse. You know, that universe on Star Trek where Spock has a beard and everyone is evil? Yeap, that's where we are. I have come to this conclusion because the G.W. Bush administration is obviously the Mirrorverse representation of the Bartlett Administration portrayed on The West ( Read more... )

This week has been tiring, yo. I'll be real happy to go on vacation. We just need to find a campground that isn't completely booked up for the next month worth of weekends. It's been a while since I've gone camping, I'd forgotten how popular state campgrounds were. It's mostly annoying ( Read more... )

Watched House last night, which was good but it suffered, poor baby, by the West Wing viewage I indulged in right before. Oh.My.Gosh. The final three episodes of season two are absolutely astounding. Easily the best television I've ever seen. It was extraordinary. I am in awe of what Aaron Sorkin and the cast (particularly Martin Sheen, Stockard ( Read more... )

It is so gorgeous outside that I can hardly believe it's real. The sun is shining, the air is warm and the day is perfectly beautiful. The only things that would make this better are leaves on the trees and not being at work ( Read more... )

Spent some time the other day lurking over at the TWoP forums (I know, I know, I was taking my life into my own hands) where I saw an argument over who is the greater tv god, Joss Whedon or David Milch. I'm sorry to say that, as much as I enjoy everything Whedon and think Deadwood is one of the keenest shows on tv, in all actuality Aaron Sorkin is ( Read more... )
