together we rise
So it's quote Leo McGarry day:
"If we're going to walk into walls I want us running into them full speed. We're going to lose some of these battles, and we might even lose the White House, but we're not going to be threatened by issues. We're going to bring 'em front and center. We're going to raise the level of public debate in this country, and let that be our legacy."
*sniffle*
Oh, Leo...
(You might also enjoy watching this vid, and by "enjoy" I mean "get chills and bawl like a baby" [the way the show used to make me], which is impressive for something that's not even a full 2 minutes long. At first I was like, "this is an odd song choice" and then some of the lyrics make it more understandable, and THEN the chorus kicks in and that is where the chills and the crying come from.)

I made the buttermilk cake again today, but I switched out orange zest for the lemon zest and added two tsp of orange juice. And left out the raspberries. It's good, but it's lacking something. Possibly I will add dried cranberries on top next time. Hmm...

HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOW BADASS WAS PRENTISS TONIGHT? JESUS FUCK THAT WAS SO AWESOME! SHE KICKED OUT THE BROKEN WINDSHIELD AND SHOT AT FUCKING CHRIS THORMANN (and also that dude from Oz and the priest from The Sopranos, but I mostly know him as Chris Thormann from HLotS).
I enjoyed the episode a lot, but it could have totally coasted by on that opening sequence. EMILY PRENTISS IS MORE BADASS THAN YOU.

Thanks to fleurdeleo, angelgazing and luzdeestrellas, I think I have figured out how to fix my yuletide story. I hope. I just have to figure out how to actually write it. I mean, I have 600 words so I'm on the way, but you know, there have been plot developments and you know how that hurts my wee brain. But I have a plan now, I think. I hope.
Wish me luck!
