stuff! and stuff...

→ I am four episodes into The West Wing. I have no clue why the hell I'm watching another TV show but I have this theory that it's my alter-ego's secret plot to keep me from writing or being creative in any way at all. Sadly, I lack the willpower to put a stop to these sorts of shenanigans. This may have something to do with the fact that I think I kind of love everyone so far.

→ I don't usually go all public announcement on your asses regarding birthdays. I used to try, but I always ended up forgetting and then I'd feel bad. But she's bestest, so I have no choice! Happy Birthday dayln03!!! Guess what!?!? I got you a PONY! (It's being shipped, don't worry! Actually, I got you two ponies. I named them Chuck and Olive.)

→ You know what I never got? bb! I mean. I understand what it means, but when I see it, I think of her, always.

→ I decided to disable the custom comment pages on my journal. They're more user friendly right? That was the purpose of doing so anyway. We'll see how it works out.

→ For those who haven't seen it and aren't a member, lenina20 posted an entry about shipping and writing in LOST at thequillstation. There was also a nice discussion by falafel_fiction the other week about carrying on when canon disappoints. Both great reads and great discussions in the comments. I haven't participated nearly enough in that community.

→ Another thing I wanted to link to when it was first posted but never got around to doing, was a vidding documentary created by laurashapiro, Francesca Coppa, OTW and MIT. Very cool.

→ I haven't watched the last two eps of FNL, though I hear they're awesome! I also haven't watched the latest episode of SGA. I'd say I'd do that today, but I think I'm gonna hold out until I get some writing done. I'll reward myself with TV. (We'll see how that pans out, hah.)

→ Speaking of FNL, have you guys seen THIS crazy/awesome promo by DirecTV? Crazy! I just might love it.

Me too! That is what is so great about this show! The entire ensemble can be your favourite. I hope you continue to enjoy The West Wing. It is one of my favourites.

Yeah so far they're all fantastic. They just ping off of eachother so amazingly well.

The only cast member I'm currently iffy about is the VP. WHAT IS HIS DEAL?

[elliotsmelliot.livejournal.com]

John Hoynes? You'll find out more about his backstory and how he came to be the choice for VP. It will explain a lot.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm very curious about him.

[dearlydevoted.livejournal.com]

LMAO at bb. Seriously, I don't even know why I use it.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Haha yeah, pretty much everybody does. It's cute, but It's never "baby" always "Bebe." LOL.

Thank you so much for reccing my essay *hugs*

I've just started watching the West Wing too! I'm onto S2 now and also loving all the characters. But yeah, it's crazy for me to be starting on another long-running TV show too. I've got S1 of Mad Men on standby too.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! It was very thoughtful!

I can't even imagine how good this is going to be. It's so good and it's just four eps in! Insanely good!

(Ah, Mad Men, something else I want to watch!)

Hi! OMG A PONY!! Chuck and Olive PONIES! Hands down the best gift I'll ever receive! All I'm going to feed them is pie :D

I gotta go watch that FNL promo again too because it is crazy and awesome and crazyawesome!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Pie? OMG. I'm having them returned. You'll kill them!

Woo! FNL! (You'd think in my excitement I could somehow find time to watch the last two eps.)

[sol-se.livejournal.com]

I just finished West Wing for the first time not too long ago. And yes, everyone is my favorite! :)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Aw, yay. I'm excited to continue with it.

WEST WIIIIIIIING \o/ \o/

It is kind of the first show of my heart? I watched it in first run, when I was 14 years old, and it was my first SHOW show. *loves* I still rewatch seasons 1-4 often. <3

[crickets.livejournal.com]

See I kind of wish I would have watched it back when it was on. My pal Bradley was into it. I think it probably came on the same night as something else? I don't know. Every now and again I'd catch part of an ep but very rarely. It always looked good from what I saw though.
