Fangirl cloud/TV blog/Jill Biden is awesome, again

[whenidream]

1. Lesson of the day: Always sleep sitting up when you have a cold. And, I don't know, wake up before the sudafed wears off.
2. Obviously you all need to see this: a word cloud of my fangirling history. It has no practical purpose, and yet...I find it pretty enjoyable nonetheless. It also alerted me to the tragic fact that I have fangirled three women named "Patricia." And only one of them was cool, whereas the other two are A) a crazy Republican and a weird boob lady. (Sidenote: OH MY GOD NOT COOL I JUST REALIZED WHO JILL BIDEN REMINDS ME OF. PATRICIA HEATON, WHY DO YOU RUIN MY LIFE THIS WAY?!)
   illusory_thrill: lmao the word gay is in there
   
3. Also wanted to mention this at some point--there are three posts that may be of interest to some of you up at We Love Television, a.k.a. awesome badass blog that you should all read forever:
   
   1. Why you should watch The West Wing (by me)
   2. The structure of 24 & relationships--with a focus on Tony/Michelle (by me)
   3. 24 vs. soap operas (by gracekellymovie)
   
   Please feel totally free to comment, btw! I'm pretty sure you can comment on wordpress without an account (but your comments are welcome here if that's easier), and we'd love to hear your thoughts. catch22girl recently debated a few points from the second one with me, and it was just really awesome engaging with someone on something I had written and developed.
   
   Next week I'm hoping to post a piece I'm currently working on about whether the West Wing would have still worked as a show with a Republican administration (as inspired by the recent poll someone posted at west_wing_fans). I don't want to whore myself out every time something new is posted over there, but I might just do a mention of a new one (or maybe of the last few posted) at the end of a post occasionally. But I'm hoping there are at least a few TV geeks out there who will be interested in keeping up with it.
   
   My plan is to post something every Friday/Saturday...not always an article/essay, maybe a top 10 list or something like that. But it'll always be about TV, typically focusing on a specific show or concept for each post.
4. Gahhhh. How can I not fangirl this?
