Why Now?
Why does my mother choose to care now? She's spent my entire life choosing which aspects of my life she chooses to care about, and now she thinks she can change what she cares about and that will be alright. I learned to live with, and deal with, the areas she didnt care about, and fashioned my life around that. Now that Im almost 21, she thinks she can care about all the things I wanted her to care about 10 years ago and everything will be okay. It's not okay. It's too late for her to care. When it came to caring about the things that mattered the most to me, she was nowhere to be found. She says she's going to make me go to counseling, and I'm going to go, but Im not going to talk about the thing she thinks Im going to talk about. I have issues to deal with--I know that. But they aren't the issues she thinks they are. She stopped noticing the real problems a long time ago.

And here I thought Mandy had taste. . .
Of course, when Simon says that Taylor just won AI, they show Mandy Moore excited and clapping vigorously...and here I thought she had taste! Taylor's going to win, but Katharine should. She's got the better voice by far.

Tonight's American Idol
I honestly think the judges have predisposed towards the guys this season as a general rule--particularly Paula and Randy. I gotta tell you, none of the guys have impressed me this season. Several of the girls did, but none of the guys. I've watched faithfully since season three, and there have been guys and girls in each season that I've been impressed with. Of the Idol contestants of the past, I've got Kelly Clarkson's albums, Diana DeGarmo's, Clay Aiken's, Tamayra, Carrie, and Bo. This season, there's not one guy who's album I'd buy. Of the girls, I'd buy Katherine and Lisa. I liked Paris, but I dont know if I'd buy her album. I've never understood what the judges saw in the guys this season to make them sing their praises. The guys were alright, but certainly not deserving of this constant praise the judges have heaped on them from day one. The other thing I've noticed, as compared to last season, is that none of the final three seem like they could be true stars from day one. I thought it was pretty obvious that any of last season's top three could be stars right off the bat. I dont feel that way with this top three, as much as I like Katherine.

This is going to be a long summer
Had my first full day of work today, and at this rate, it's gonna be a long summer. It's the same job I work at during the school year, but Im only working 12 hrs/week then. Now, I'm working 40 hrs/week! Granted, the money will be wonderful. I'll make around $700/two weeks. My mom's going to look into the state rideshare thing, and see if that helps out with the summer, and my commute. It's a pain getting downtown from home, and it's going to get old driving home during rush hour in the afternoon.
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip
Ive decided Studio 60 will be the new show I watch next season, and at least initially, I'm going to blog it like I did with West Wing the last several weeks. :) It'll be good to still see Bradley Whitford and Timothy Busfield each week. Hopefully the show will do well up against CSI on Thursday nights.

West Wing - Tomorrow (5/14) - THE FINALE
I knew that this day would be coming weeks from now...but now that it's finally here, I dont know what to think. . . Im going to need kleenex tonight, Im sure.
7:00
Here we go . . .Interesting pics of Washington...and now we see Matt. Just staring out the window. JOSH! No Donna? Ah, there we go :) There's Donna. Now for CJ. Will we see Danny? I like CJ's apartment. And there's Will. And The Ball :) Doing what Toby used to do. And now we finally see Jed and Abbey. I've missed Abbey. Actually, it used to be March, but now it's Jan. Oh dang it, Im already getting teary-eyed.
7:07
Yay, more of Helen and Matt. Wonder who will be Matt's "body man." Bram maybe? The nuclear cards thing reminds me that Josh is going to get that NSC card again...let's hope he doesnt have another nutty. Wonder if Donna will get one too as the FLCoS. CHARLIE! Ive always loved Charlie. Awww, Mallory :) So thus far, no pardon for Toby. HUGE Binders! Looks like this meeting is showing us Donna took the FLCoS position. One can only hope. I love Helen. THERE WE GO :) He pardoned Toby. And there's Jed again, and Im starting to cry. Nice handling of that right there Jed. CJ's about to talk about Toby and the pardon...okay, so maybe he hasnt pardoned Toby just yet.
7:19
MALLORY! It's been awhile since we saw Mallory. I bet I know what that present is. I love Debbie Fiderer :) JOSH! Josh making one last stab at getting CJ to stay...That's great, WWLD. Making me cry now. Oh crap, Im crying now. Jed's going to talk with Charlie. That's a wonderful gift from Jed to Charlie. Matt seems a little distracted. So now he's writing the letter to Matt. Here comes the napkin. AWWW! I wanted to see Jed open it. Its an interesting picture, to see Jed struggle so over the pardon. There we go. He signed it.
7:31
I love Matt and Helen, have since the beginning. I've missed Jed and Abbey sparring. I wonder what room that is, that they're standing in. Just 'okay' ? :-P That's a ringing endorsement. I like this moment between Jed and Matt. Matt seems...overwhelmed, and for good reason. Whoa, isnt that salute thing interesting. CJ :) I love that little half-smile CJ does from time to time. LOL I love Helen :)
I dont like this singer singing America the Beautiful. Aww, I was hoping to see Glenn Close. That's not her voice.I've got tears.
7:46
Wonderful picture there with Sam, and Josh. Ronna as the secretary :-P. Ronna is a little shell-shocked I think. The past handing the reins to the future. . . I still wanna see Jed open the package from Mallory. I've missed Jed and Abbey together. Bram isnt paying any attention at all to Charlie. Its so strange watching the characters we know and love leaving The West Wing. And how could CJ possibly leave without visiting the Briefing Room one last time? YIPPEE!! Donna took the job :) NICE office for Donna. I love the awed look on Donna's face. Im crying again. There goes CJ for the last time. Josh - smiling :) Josh looks good as the CoS. Come on Jed, open the package. I wanna see your reaction. And it was the napkin.
A wonderful send off for a wonderful show.

West Wing - The Pilot (5/14)
So they're showing The Pilot tonight.....and then the series finale. I will comment intermittently on the pilot, but the finale will get its own post :-P
6:00
I love the first look we get of each of the characters here. It shows us so much about who each of them is. The only major character we dont meet in the Pilot is Charlie, and thats because he doesnt come on the show for another few episodes. Great shot of Josh sleeping at his desk :-P Here come some GREAT Toby lines. Right there...great line about being able to "flummux" the navigation systems with something he bought at RadioShack :-P There's so much about this episode that I love. Of course, this is the episode where the first of Josh's two "interests" makes an appearance. Though Mandy and Josh never dated within the show's timeline (they dated beforehand), she's still a character I hated :-P
So much for showing cast interviews during commercials . . .
This is a great scene with Leo, Sam, and Josh talking about Lloyd Russell and Mandy :-P Okay, so my attempts at actually blogging this episode arent great, but still. . .

I Swear I live in a family of idiots
So my brother has this really nasty flu bug of some description. He's been real sick since Wednesday night. I gotta tell you, I dont want to get it. As a response to that, I basically barricaded myself in the basement, where he hadnt been, so that I wouldnt get it. I get home from church today TO FIND HIM IN THE BASEMENT! Apparently the dvd player up here wouldn't work. That's all well and good, but did everyone forget how they fixed that problem when he had his wisdom teeth out last fall? They brought down his xbox and played them on that. So now, he's been everywhere byut my room. Is it really too much to ask to not let him simply roam the house, and contaminate it all? *IDIOTS*

OMG! (Edition 2)
Im officially a senior in college! Of course, that doesnt take into account that I wont be graduating this time next year, instead, I'll still have a semester left. But still! A senior in college! Ive been through three years of college, and wow is that huge! It's just really a weird feeling to know that Im a senior in college now.

West Wing - Institutional Memory (5/7)
Warning: spoiler alert for the finale
7:00
CJ and Danny! They're too cute. I love them to death. I love them together. Hmm, is there any way its really that light outside, that early, that time of year? Why is Margaret trying to get CJ out of the way? Margaret is FUNNY. Oooo. Packing....CJ faced with leaving.
7:06
I love Margaret. Commander Harper! Who's this guy? HEHE! I love CJ. Will Bailey :) I like him now, didn't like him so much when he worked for Russell. LOL this is so funny. CJ is funny. CJ is so cracking me up right now. OOOO the awkwardness of him and Kate. They're an....interesting match. I like this guy :) Oh, I like this job offer. OOOO Big number! That office reminds me of the Santos campaign offices. Wonder if Will's going to run there. Margaret rambling...ooo, awkward conversation coming. Toby alert....toby alert. *cringes* That conversation was so awkward, even though Im well aware that Toby's pardoned in the end.
7:20
lol "He's a little turd?" CHARLIE! Ive missed him. LOL, CJ's CV? *grin* Offering her a job :-P I like the job she's being offered :), but I know before it's been announced. Okay, maybe Will won't do it. :-P Idiot assistant not recognizing CJ. It's so weird for me, as a lover of this show, to see the Bartlet staff packing up. Santos :) CJ getting an offer :) CJ very shocked at Secretary of State. Interesting offer there from Santos. CJ just got steamrolled, and Im laughing my head off.
7:30
CJ's freaking out, probably as a result of the Santos offer. Interesting conversation here. Kate's got a point. CJ, call Toby? hmm. DANNY! He's too cute. Another interesting conversation here...this is probably what will convince him to run. She's convincing him to run. *grins* CJ and Danny again, wonder when she's gonna tell him about the Santos offer. *Cringes* Danny doesnt look too thrilled here. He wants to have "that kind of relationship." GO DANNY! It's about time she got a wake up call. She sees him in the picture eventually, as evidenced by the fact that they end up married. *Shakes head* Silly CJ. Thank goodness I know already that CJ gets her act together.
7:43
CJ just wants to think its a fully day. It's really not. He's gonna pitch it again. Great point there by CJ. I love CJ. He's pitching it again, and... HEHE CJ and Toby :) Way to start out the conversation there CJ. Im using "interesting conversation" a lot tonight. I wanna use it again. Harsh CJ. I like this conversation between Toby and CJ. Yes, you are resisting. This is a reminder as to why I always loved Toby. This conversation would be great fodder to believing the two of them had a "thing" long ago. Aww :) a hug. I bet she's headed to Danny's. He doesnt look exactly pleased, but I cant blame him. Come on CJ! CJ, it's not too late. He's so funny :) I love Danny, always have. He's such a romantic. You could see that coming, CJ not wanting to work at the White House.

God forbid I have a different opinion than my parents
Seriously, when are my parents going to learn that I have different opinions than them on just about everything, and am now an adult? I'm inclined to believe never, at this rate. Excuse me for having a mind, and being able to think for myself. Heaven forbid I actually have the ability to disagree with them on anything. Sometimes I just want to strangle my parents. And then they wave my choices in my face like just by thinking for myself, I'm automatically wrong. And heaven forbid I actually express my opinions, let alone simply have them. My parents need to get over themselves, they're not perfect. They've been good parents, but they're far from perfect. It'd also be nice if they realized that I'm not my brothers, I dont want to be anything like my brothers, and I'm also not perfect. Oh, and that I simply don't care. I hate how people think the oldest has it best. I'm sorry, but I'd have to disagree. Many times, I've wished I was an only child. That way, nothing to live up to. My brothers are younger than me, and I still feel like I have to live up to their brains and their level of "perfection." Would it kill my family to take an interest in some of the things I care about, instead of maligning them at every turn? I can't begin to count the number of times over the years that my parents have come close to burning several bridges where I'm concerned, simply because they didn't care enough. I wish they'd just care.

OMG!
I'm feeling kinda weird, and absolutely amazing right now. For four years, I lived in a little country named Taiwan (Im sure you've heard the name, it seems like everything's made there these days lol). I had a close friend named Allison Scott. She moved away when we were in third grade, and then I moved. We kept in touch through I think sixth grade, but then lost contact. I've always wanted to find her. Well, tonight, it would appear she found me! I'm registered in facebook through my university, and she wanted to add me as a friend tonight! I'm absolutely amazed! I looked at her profile, and everything looks as I would expect. The picture even looks like what I would think she might look like after so long! Im just so absolutely excited right now, I cant even describe it!

West Wing - The Last Hurrah (4/30)
Im taking a break from homework to watch West Wing.
7:00
Here we go :) Just three episdoes left, including tonight :( And the first thing we see is Arnie Vinnick...now there's a sight *rolls eyes*. Yay! President-elect :) Meeting the Joint Chiefs? Who's Vinnick calling? There's Vinnick :) Im sad that we're not going to see Josh or Donna tonight. Sounds like someone doesnt want to leave Washington...
7:08
Ick! Amy! ICK! There's the Santos family :) Ron Butterfield! *grins* Cute kids. EVIL AMY! I like Helen Santos :) GO HELEN! Vinnick doesn't seem to know what to do. Looks kinda lost actually. LOU! :) Yuck on Baker. Interesting job offers for Vinnick. Interesting plans there...WHOA! Helen doesnt like that security much...cant say that I would either. Helen looks lost :( Vinnick run again for President? Uhh...okay. They think Vinnick's crazy, and I gotta tell you I agree with them.
7:21
I know who is about to be nominated as Secretary of State, but then again I've read some of the spoilers. YAY! Talking to CJ :) It'd be nice if we could see some Danny too. Go away Amy and never come back. LOL Finding a school through the Secretary of Education. Interesting. Interesting comment by Amy, but I wish it hadn't been made by Amy. Hehe, but he's not going to do what he thinks. Helen looks completely overwhelmed. I can't say I blame her. Nice comment by CJ. Vinnick doesnt look impressed there. Vinnick is funny :-P Vinnick right there cracks me up. You know, as the season went on, I liked Vinnick more and more.
7:33
Sounds like they're experiencing sticker shock on the schools. Eep, looks like Helen's less than thrilled at the moment. Hehe, calling his own phone. Vinnick, busy? You're kidding, right? LOL standing in line for coffee after running for President. And then they get his name wrong. Looks like Helen isnt the only one having a rough time dealing with all the changes in their lives. LOL She's in the oval office now and she's in SHOCK. :) LOL $200,000 for redecorating? Im laughing at Helen's reactions to all of this. Vinnick isnt sure what to make of this meeting. LOL That's about what Matt said. I didnt know this conversation was coming. Nice to see Vinnick figured it out :) Offering him Secretary of State. :) I loved the way Santos pitched that.
7:48
I like the way Santos said that to Amy and company. Come on Vinnick, take the Secretary of State job. Come on Sheila and what's-his-name, convince him to take the Sec. of State job. I love Matt and Helen together. Yay :) Vinnick doesnt seem to believe that Santos really wants to offer the Secretary of State position. This is too funny. Vinnick simply cant believe it. YAY! Vinnick as Sec. of State.

I hate being sick
I've spent a good portion of the last week sick, and that really sucks. Every few winters I somehow manage to get all of the nasty bugs, and this has been one of those winters unfortunately. Though I must say I am feeling better today. At the moment, Im just coughing and my throat hurts, which is better than the sneezing and congestion and runny nose I had the last few days. Though, this morning I was really congested.
I can't believe the semester's about over already. Or that my 21st birthday is this summer.

It's also hard to believe I've been out of high school for almost three years now--that's a long time!
I have to spend this weekend writing a paper for my presidency class. We have a 10 page paper due on Tuesday, May 2nd. Then I have a test in another class on the 4th. Then, on the 5th, I get the final exam for my history class and it's due on the 10th by noon. Then, my last final is on the 12th. Busy, busy, busy!
I can't believe the semester's about over already. Or that my 21st birthday is this summer. Or that I will be a senior in college (I won't graduate next Spring though, it's going to take me another semester).

West Wing - Transition (4/23)
7:00
Here we go :) Gonna see Sam tonight! LOL Josh with all of his files spread out in a teeny, tiny space. I happen to know where he was flying to. Ronna :) LOL everyone's gonna have problems with the new title. LOL this conversation with Josh and the cabbie is interesting. Here we go :-P This should be an interesting conversation between Santos and the Russian president. Here comes Sam! Interesting face there Sam! :-P Kinda like when seeing Josh in the beginning :-P "I thought you'd never call." Bored there Sam? :-P
7:07
I saw this conversation online on www.nbc.com. And there's the bomb :-P Sam, deputy chief of staff :-P. LOL Josh, channeling his mother. I love the interplay between Josh and Sam. I've missed it. Josh on the phone...wonder who he's talking to. Stupid cabbie..shut up. LOL :) I like the kid Josh is talking to now. Donna talking with Helen. LOL Helen telling Donna not to do the ma'am thing. I love Josh and Donna. Josh, Donna talk? Looks like he had to force those words out. Can we say awkward highway here? SANTOS :) First time in the sit. room. Hmm, where's he going to sit? He looks like he has no idea what's going on. Quick briefing there. *rolls eyes* tapping the president's phone? Not usually a bright idea. Hey! A good look at Josh's apartment. What a mess! I bet that's Donna at the door. Or Sam. And we have Donna there. LOL He's getting some action tonight. I love that the two of them got their act together.
7:19
Josh in a wifebeater? Donna putting earrings back on? Hmm...and Donna leaving already. Okay, maybe he did get some after all. Donna's "ultimatum." Josh has that glazed over look on his face. I dont blame her for telling Josh "four weeks." I love Helen and Matt together. Josh likes scaring people I think. I like Santos, and how he likes to think outside of the box. Here's a nice version of CJ :) I missed nice CJ. Heh, goes without saying...except to say that I know what happens. Asking Donna for Josh advice. LOL this is an interesting conversation. I knew that was coming. That's what happens when you read summaries ahead of time.
7:33
Umm..what is Josh going on about. Wonder what he's drinking. Shouldn't take long? That's what you think. Ma'am...best get used to it. Hehe :) AHHH! Donna as the First Lady's Chief of Staff :) ooooo Don't turn it away Donna. Please...it's a fantastic opportunity. Bye bye nice CJ. OOOO SAM again! LOL Sam engaged :) Come on, take the job. Josh is pushing hard for Sam to come to Washington :) There goes Josh...wonder what this conversation will be like. Santos needs to start trusting Josh. Really, Santos needs to start trusting Josh if Josh is going to be his CoS. I like Lou as Communications Director. Yep, Josh is headed towards a meltdown, and Santos isnt helping matters any.
7:46
SAM! Giving Sam a bunch of papers :) Josh, take a vacation? I love Sam. Again, Josh, take a vacation? You've gotta be crazy:-P Nice way to say that Josh. Sam looks like Josh threw him in the deep end...then again he did. Donna, eepp, deputy press secretary. JOSH! Dont screw this up. Please dont screw this up Josh. She's the best thing that ever happened to you. He's about to have a nutty. Josh, take a break. JOSH! EEEPPP!!!!!!! Here comes Sam. Please, Sam, get him to take a breather, please? Reminds me of the nutty on election night. Nice to see Sam telling Josh off. Come on Josh, take the vacation. Take Donna to Hawaii and figure out whats going on between you. PLEASE! Conversation between the President and President-Elect. LOL Interesting play here. Josh is going to take a vacation :) Yippee! Josh is funny :-P Josh is so funny. I love Sam :) I cant say that enough. Please tell me Donna's going with him. I so want her to go with him. EPP! He's not going to screw it up! Nice touch there, having the blackberry fall off the desk :)

I just wanna kick something
I dont have a singing voice to speak of at the moment (no pun intended), and I have a choir concert tonight. I spent the last day and a half with a nasty sore throat, a cold, and no voice at all. Well this morning my voice started to come back, and I just tested my singing voice, and it's almost nonexistent. :( GRRRRRR!

West Wing - Requiem (4/16)
Here we go...and I'm totally going to cry.
7:00
And Bartlet's putting on his tie...CJ's getting ready too. There's Josh. Doesn't look as depressed as I imagined...and tere's Toby, and now Donna. Donna definitely looks sad. There's Abbey. And here we go, already tears in my eyes. Josh sitting behind Jed....interesting. Mallory..and then three Bartlett sisters. Interesting that Josh and CJ are sitting near each other. Amy, Danny. Josh and Donna not really sitting together. Ainsley's there. Impressive guest list. Church is packed, no surprise. There's Mallory again. As my dad just said...AINT NO WAY. No way Jed is a pallbearer, Leo or not. Charlie, Jed, Matt, Josh, and two I didnt recognize as pallbearers. Okay, so I just got teary eyed, but didnt cry.
7:08
Leaving the funeral....talking with Matt. Interesting conversation regarding the House. I forgot that the Democrats won back the House. Hmm... Charlie talking to Toby. Toby's not going to Arlington..........nice to know that's where Leo will be buried. Abbey sounds close to tears. So does Jed for that matter. Yeah, Leo would have been mortified. Santos should best get used to people clapping when he enters a room...it's gonna happen a lot. Well, Josh made his point there about messages. Hehe...Josh in political mode. Nice to know Josh is going to be CoS. Josh doesn't look entirely comfortable. CJ looks good...and there's Danny. I've always loved Danny. I definitely love Danny. CJ and Danny talk? *grins* They've always been an interesting pair. The two of them make me chuckle. Interesting meeting here...Okay, so I've still managed not to cry.
7:20
Charlie has a real office. Interesting conversation between Charlie and Donna. Charlie can't believe it...Okay, celebration for Leo's funeral...hmm...I like Santos. What a jackass guy. Nice, solid front from Santos and Josh. Yuck, we're seeing Russell. I've never been a Russell fan. Donna and CJ :) AHHH hehe...Donna crashing at CJ's place. There's Jed...staring off into space. *Shakes head* I love Abbey. Leo would be furious. Jed certainly seems more jolly than expected. Wonderful stories about Leo. Interesting look on Abbey's face though. Still haven't cried.
7:33
Hehe, I love Danny. CJ cracks me up. I bet Donna is behind CJ....:-P Matt doesnt know what he got himself into. Uh oh...AMY. Go Away. Liar Liar Josh...AINSLEY! I miss Ainsley. I hate Baker... Oooo..wasnt exactly the thing to tell Josh. I want Josh and Donna together. The two of them need to get their heads out of their butts. *Rolls eyes* CJ and Donna are quite a pair. Josh and Donna are also quite a pair. I wonder what Matt's doing...Russell is a no deal. I understand where Josh is coming from. Nice way to put that Josh...he's not a "yes" man, never has been. Still havent cried....
7:44
Go away Amy. Go far, far away. Amy fixing Josh up? *raises eyebrows* Amy turns around when Donna gets there. And there comes Matt....in the middle of the pissing match :-P Matt's got a point. Baker's not the right choice, but *grrr* Amy's always been an idiot. OOO I like Matt, but did you have to offer a job? CJ and Josh talking. Ainsley as White House counsel. Josh get rid of the Republican "thing." More stories about Leo :) I love this scene in the Residence. I love these stories about Leo. LOL. I love Annabeth. I dont like Fields, but I imagine he doesnt like Santos so much. Nice story about the fish and the gun. Man, I miss Leo. Wonderful words by Jed right here. Very poignant scene with Josh looking back at the White House.

The West Wing Writers copped-out
So I just read some spoilers for the rest of the series, and I found out who Santos is picking as his VP, and I gotta tell you, he's one of the last people on earth I'd pick. No way would I pick Baker as VP. Not in a million years.
On another note, tonight's ep is so going to make me cry. But I have a feeling that it will still end up one of my favorites.
