when in doubt, quote from the west wing
Stolen shamelessly from kaydeefalls: When you see this, quote Leo McGarry.
There's two things in the world you never want to let people see how you make 'em: laws and sausages.
I'm trying to gradually incept miznarrator with the idea that she should watch The West Wing with me, despite her complete lack of interest in a show themed on American politics. ( Read more... ) -
i'm a lumberjack and i'm okay
This year, for the very first time ever, I purchased and set up my own Christmas tree, all by myself.
