Heh, Vitina finished The West Wing. Or what I've got/what I think's worth watching anyway. I hadn't warned her that season four doesn't tie up neatly. Whoops! But really, the most important part of all this is that I got to re-watch 4x19 "Evidence of Things Not Seen." AKA This Might Be My Favorite Episode Ever, I Can't Decide. Anyway, with colorstoobright's encouragement, I did another picspam like the one I did for "Posse Comitatus." Caps from _jems_.

( That's twice in four years; some of you guys must really be mad at me. )

Dule Hill is so incredibly pretty in that scene with Zoey. And I love this cap a whole freakin' lot; I think it has to do with the lighting.

I watched 3x22 "Posse Comitatus" with Vitina over dinner. She called it 'anti-climactic'; I really have no idea what she meant by that. I find that episode especially pretty - prettier than most, really - so I did a small picspam. Caps from ScreenMusings. Spoilers for the episode.

( In the future, if you're wondering, 'Crime, boy, I don't know' is when I decided to kick your ass. )

Heh, I remember when I used the title of this episode as a Latin Moment in Br. Joe's class freshman year.

Um, guys?

SNOW DAY!!!!

I watched "Two Cathedrals" with Vitina over breakfast (and got to tell the story of me being there), then I had work for an hour and a half (which kinda sucked but whatever), and in an hour or so Casey and I are going to watch a movie. We just haven't decided which one yet.

I love surprise three day weekends.

01. We watched "Stardust"... well I was going to say last night but we didn't start it (idiots that we are) until midnight so we were up super late but the point is I loved it! It was clever and cute and funny and really quite the thing to watch right after I'd finished John Connolly's The Book of Lost Things. Charlie Cox is adorable. I'm thinking of picking up the book next time I hit up a bookstore (which I hope is soon because, damn, I'm going through withdrawal).

02. 50 Reasons To Watch The West Wing, though it's really more of cnnjunky's favorite moments. Either way, it's a fun pic/quotespam.

03. Scans from the Pushing Daisies article in Emmy Magazine: Passing by the trailer and safely out of character, Pace sweeps Friel into his arms and waltzes her around the tarmac. "I know what we'll do if there's a strike," he exclaims. "We'll go on Dancing with the Stars!" ♥

04. What shows will and won't be coming back after the strike ends (April/May or next fall).

05. I don't want to take my American Lit test tomorrow. Don't make me.

I just showed Vitina and Kerry "In The Shadow of Two Gunman" Parts I & II. Every time I watch those episodes I'm reminded of how much I miss this show.

01. First Impressions Meme (mine)

02. In today's version of Hey! So-and-so was on West Wing!: Eric Balfour was one of the dumb frat guys from "Mr. Willis of Ohio." (Also, just a reminder, I love Danny.)

03. James Roday and Dule Hill's Top 5 pop-culture mysteries. Love it, love them. I'm particularly fond of Dule's #5.

04. I really don't want to do my reading for Report & Proposal Writing. We had a quiz on Tuesday and we have another one tomorrow. Grr. At least I have Vamps in Film to look forward to.

05. I really should get a Psych icon. And a Lost icon. Dagnabbit.

Hehehe, today's Facebook event? Big Block of Cheese Day! Or, if you rather, Throw Open Our Office Doors To People Who Want To Discuss Things That We Could Care Less About..... Day. (Geez, can you believe John Spencer died two years ago?)

Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House, had a big block of cheese... The block of cheese was huge--over two tons. And it was there for any and all who might be hungry... Jackson wanted the White House to belong to the people, so from time to time, he opened his doors to those who wished an audience. It is in the spirit of Andrew Jackson that I, from time to time, ask senior staff to have face-to-face meetings with those people representing organizations who have a difficult time getting our attention. I know the more jaded among you see this as something rather beneath you. But I assure you that listening to the voices of passionate Americans is beneath no one, and surely not the peoples' servants.

[OMG where is all this snow coming from? It's ridiculous.]

01. My booklight broke. I just replaced the batteries so I know it's not that. I'm having to old-school-it with my mini flashlight. Alas, poor broken booklight.

02. Kerry, Kevin, and I (and possibly some more of our friends) are surprising Vitina by taking her up to Cleveland to see Dane Cook for her birthday. I think we're going 10 November. Woot! We're in nosebleed seats but the venue isn't ungodly huge so it should be fine. (Plus, y'know, stingy college students: nosebleed seats ftw!!) I am anticipating a rockin' good time.

03. I got an email the other day from the head of the English department reminding me that registration is approaching. Yes, it's that time of the year again, folks. Anytime anyone says anything about regestration I'm reminded of Toby Ziegler:

Sam: So, how do you feet there, big guy?
Toby: Like I just got screwed with my pants on.

04. I'm so incredibly loving my Crime Fiction class. It's easy, it's fun, the professor is nice, and either I'm amazing or my professor is the easiest grader in the world because I just got my midterm exam and my second paper back and I got 100% on both. I'm fairly sure I have 100% in the class. See? Fun.

05. I'm making dinner tonight. I'm rather nervous. I... don't cook. It's probably not a good idea. I felt badly that all of my roommates had made dinner for the house except me, and they said it was fine because I usually help, but still. Mom says the recipe I picked is pretty foolproof so please please please let me not screw it up. I'm making my great-grandmother's baked spaghetti and cheese.

My thoughts on "Psych": I miss Fitz. I miss Charlie. I miss "The West Wing." *sigh* [I did love the two of them 'solving' the case together and beating each other up in the process.]

The {+ -] Meme. (mine)


I am in search of a post-it note.

captaincatapult posted a non-spoilery West Wing picspam specifically designed to get people to watch the show based on pretty caps. I totally support this.

Gosh darn, I miss my Batman and Robin. And J/D. And Jed and Leo. And CJ/Danny. I think it will soon be time for me to start rewatching WW again.
