when you wanna be something the world can't define

Important things to note today:

1. FRIDAY! PAYDAY! WOOOOOO!

2. Andrew Jackson had a big block of cheese, and thank you Leo McGarry for helping me to mildly kick ass at Trivial Pursuit last night. (We so would have won if *someone* hadn't gotten all tired and stuff. Pshaw. I really miss late night games of Trivial Pursuit from 1981). In honor, I watched 'The Crackpots and these Women' from S1 TWW when I got home, and I gotta say, that one would probably be pretty high up on my list of favorite episodes if it weren't for that whole "Gee golly gosh! Look at these here liberated womens!" thing at the end. :p

3. Apparently, according to Hillary Duff anyway, I grew up in the ghetto. I didn't think I could hate anyone related to that whole group of people more than the one twin who called us all white trash, but it seems that I can. Is she really that stupid?

4. I'm volunteering with Ashley at a local music festival tomorrow. Music, free food, sunshine, and (hopefully) cool people. Should be a good time.

5. I'm working tonight, and Sunday. Which kinda sucks, but whatever. I'm resigned to the fact that my manager hates me. It shouldn't last too much longer, anyway. Also, I just remembered, I have no idea what the store's hours are on July 4. I didn't request off, I hope I don't have to work. Eeeep!

6. I know I had something else to say this morning. Consider this a placeholder.

Is she really that stupid?

It's probably not that much of a stretch to say yes. Next time I drive to Maryland I'll board up my windows and sing "It's A Hard Knock Life" just for her. :P

that one would probably be pretty high up on my list of favorite episodes if it weren't for that whole "Gee golly gosh! Look at these here liberated womens!" thing at the end.

I KNOW. I love that episode, but I feel embarrassed to say I love all of it when that means being okay with the ending, which is ooky and off-putting. I hope Sorkin was just trying to express the views of the older generation. But even that is creepy.

Heh. You know, Maryland's so ghetto, I'm surprised more people haven't already taken to doing that. :p

but I feel embarrassed to say I love all of it when that means being okay with the ending

I get embarrassed just watching it sometimes, you know? And I know that it was still early in the series and all, but it just feels so out of character. Especially Josh's whole "I want to be with my friends...and these women!" It's just hard to imagine Jed and Leo and Josh actually standing around and talking about that. :p I guess sometimes Sorkin's writing just goes to a weird place that I don't really understand.

Next week I'm going to show one of my good friends TWW (she hasn't seen it before), and I'm already thinking about what we're going to do when we get to that scene. It just makes me cringe all over, especially because it does comes early in the series and doesn't exactly leave the best impression. It needs a disclaimer at the end. I don't know what he was thinking! There were drugs involved! Don't look at me!

Especially Josh's whole "I want to be with my friends...and these women!"

Haaaaa. I can't even read that without wincing.

I guess sometimes Sorkin's writing just goes to a weird place that I don't really understand.

Sometimes I just stare at the screen and wonder if this can really be the same guy who created CJ. I love the show to death, but WTF.
