The best kinds of shows are the ones with character journeys that dig so deep and hit so hard that years later you can think of the group of characters--these people you knew and loved while you watched them grow and learn and struggle and love--and it's like the best kind of punch in the gut, the best kind of achey adoration.

That vid? Is awesome and made me all wibbly and want to hug them all this second. So, you know. Thanks for the rec.

Air conditioning is one of the greatest things ever. I don't use mine much, but when I do? It's totally worth it.

I wibbled a lot with that vid, yes.

And I came around to the air conditioning, at least for sleep and exercise. There's been a front go through today, though, that may have taken the edge off the temperature, so hopefully I can go back to happily ac-free.

Such a gorgeous vid. *breaks out DVDs and tissues*

it turns out that if you add lemon juice to sauteed onions, they turn into the most delicious crack EVAR!!!!

But you've mentioned turnip greens before and those, spinach and chard are all good with lemon, oil and garlic.

I plan to try various things with the lemon, oil, and garlic. Including another go with the kale--I'll just cook it longer or something.

I shall have to take that into account in the future! It's all a learning experiment, I guess. :)

West Wing! Oh, SHOW! *clings*

It may be time for a retrospective WW marathon. It's too hot outside to do much of anything else.

Unfortunately, I've got WAY too many things on the to-watch and to-rewatch list (and just as I'm trying to cut back on non-dissertation things, and just before fall TV comes back), so I think the WW rewatch will have to wait. But that vid sure makes me want to!!!
