i have a secret plan to fight inflation?

Jun 28, 2010 13:47

I ended up making Sugar Donut Muffins (even though I always kind of wince at that spelling of doughnut), and last night when I put the cinnamon-sugar topping on them, I wasn't particularly impressed, but this morning I had one for breakfast, and omg, they really do taste good. I wish I'd brought more than one. Totally recommended and ridiculously easy to make.

So I'm back at work and I don't understand - two weeks ago at this time, I was all, "In a week, I will be on vacation," and then BOOM! Last week, I was on vacation. And it went SO FUCKING FAST. And now I'm doing the, "last week at this time, I was on vacation," thing, and it makes me SO SAD. Why can't I be floating in the pool? Why am I stuck setting up more meetings than you could shake a stick at? Why can't I be independently wealthy? Wah wah wah, my life, so hard.

Vacation interrupted my momentum on the 30 Days of TV meme, but I am getting back to it now.

Day 01 - A show that should have never been canceled
Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching
Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season)
Day 04 - Your favorite show ever
Day 05 - A show you hate
Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show
Day 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show
Day 08 - A show everyone should watch
Day 09 - Best scene ever
Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn't like but ended up loving
Day 11 - A show that disappointed you

Day 12 - An episode you've watched more than 5 times

Dude, I'm a fan. What episode of a show I love haven't I watched more than 5 times? I've done the whole run of Firefly more times than I can count, the first three seasons of BtVS a ridiculous number, seasons 1 and 2 of West Wing, seasons 1 and 2 of SPN, with assorted episodes from later seasons, certain episodes of HLotS... I feel like this question doesn't get what it means to be really fannish about a TV show.

I am tempted to go off the beaten path here and talk about the Dark Angel episode "Hello, Goodbye," because it has some great Max/Alec stuff in it, but in the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I fastforward through all the Logan stuff and all the White stuff, and only watch the Max/Alec parts. *hands* So I don't know if that actually counts.

So I'm going to go with the West Wing episode "Celestial Navigation," here, because woot canaw! The secret plan to fight inflation! "Have you fallen down and hit your head?" Navigating by the Delta shuttle out of LaGuardia! "Sir, I need you to dig in now. It wasn't a nightmare, you really are the president." ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

There is no part of this episode that isn't fantastic, and generally, if I am in need of comfort television, this is the episode I reach for.

I was going to quote, but it got way too long, because so much in the episode is quotable. I'm smiling just thinking about it.

Day 13 - Favorite childhood show
Day 14 - Favorite male character
Day 15 - Favorite female character
Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure show
Day 17 - Favorite mini series
Day 18 - Favorite title sequence
Day 19 - Best TV show cast
Day 20 - Favorite kiss
Day 21 - Favorite ship
Day 22 - Favorite series finale
Day 23 - Most annoying character
Day 24 - Best quote
Day 25 - A show you plan on watching (old or new)
Day 26 - OMG WTF? Season finale
Day 27 - Best pilot episode
Day 28 - First TV show obsession
Day 29 - Current TV show obsession
Day 30 - Saddest character death
