Day 03 - Your favorite television program

That's definitely gotta be Chuck. It's fun and absurd and heartwarming. There's also my supreme fangirl crush on Zac Levi, obviously. Chuck just makes me happy, plain and simple. I love the humor, the ( Read more... )

So, I am in the process of, um... acquiring all seven seasons of West Wing on computer format to hopefully recut my "Smartest People in the World" vid and have backups of certain episodes because my DvDs are riddled with playback problems, not all of which are due to poor disc care. For example, the opening scene of "In This White House", the ( Read more... )

Because my ongoing project is slightly mind-numbing, to keep my brain from going mushy I decided to dust off some old drabble prompts and contemplate them as I work. Then I can write and post them in 3-5 minute breaks for your Friday enjoyment.

In this drabble challenge a long time ago, knight_ander requested Zoey Bartlet with handmaidens.

I finally finished S1 of my West Wing rewatch, and just now while I was eating lunch and folding laundry, I watched Parts 1 and 2 of In the Shadow of Two Gunmen. I always, always forget how awesome that double header is ( Read more... )

The scene in Take Out the Trash Day between Leo and the White House staffer who leaked to the press about his drug addiction remains one of my very, very favorite West Wing scenes of the whole show.

Also, Mel, the quote for this one was a pretty clear-cut winner:

"Unless a war breaks out I'll be spending much of my day talking about bananas."*

This has been frustrating for me, because it makes the creation of suspense extremely difficult. A good two-thirds of the story is taken up with conference room scenes or negotiating tables, both on Earth and offworld. To avoid ( Read more... )

Well, welcome 2009! A year full of much promise for a lot of people, including me.

Last night I watched the pilot of West Wing. I always totally forget Mandy was ever on that show, so seeing her in Season 1 still always comes as a shock. I also had to squee slightly, when President Bartlet tells the story about the tomato with the rosary at the ( Read more... )

So today one of the executive office buildings neighboring the White House caught on fire. Nothing was hurt but for a few historical relics. But I can't help thinking of Josh, Sam, Donna, some kerosene, and a lot of smoke and giggling a bit. Too bad I don't have Mely's icon of Charlie's quote on the matter ( Read more... )

Snagged from angelqueen04 for my own devious purposes.

Below the cut, I'm going to list a total of 20 characters (10 male, 10 female). Your job, if you choose to accept it, is to pick two of the characters (can be from same fandom or not) and give me a line of dialogue/song/quote. I will attempt to write something for those two characters interacting.Mix it ( Read more... )
