the danger of getting involved with tv series via DVD is not being able to stop myself from watching all episodes.
strangely, i've had trouble bringing myself to finish The West Wing.
i'm the same way about books--I gorge on new books by my authors.
oh, and, p.s. frozen baileys is delightful and feels like a milk shake
feliz ano nuevo

sentimental fool
Am watching the Kennedy Center Honors. It's one of my favorite "Award Shows" was reminded of this moment (Teenage Wasteland - Concert for New York) and it made me a bit weepy.
rambling
It's 1:00 in the morning and I don't really feel like going to sleep. I've watched 6 episodes of Mad Men and could conceive of watching more except I do have to get up later to take the dog out and can't just roll myself over and over and stay asleep.
Being as I'm on Christmas Break I should really accomplish something like ooooh cleaning my room. Actually I need to do that tomorrow. Symbolically starting the New Year not in a complete mess.
Sister Dubh wrote a really good entry about feeling different about Christmas. Not feeling the pure joy of the holiday as she had in the past. I've been feeling that for the last couple of years.
More to the crux of my mood (which I'm still debating about labelling)...I have no plans for New Years Eve. I could go flake out at my parents. But, God, it's flaking out at my parents. Scratch that, I tried to make plans for New Years Eve but my friend decided she wanted to stick with family. SisDubh was waffly from the start. So I'll fall back on my personal tradition and go buy a steak and some goodies for me and have my own personal New Year's Eve. I try hard to not feel pathetic...but, well, it is what it is. Maybe I'll just pull a West Wing Marathon. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Bonus: I've supercool plans for Inauguration Day--which means I have to take a personal day from work. Right after a three day weekend. Ya know what. I don't care! I'm going to be so happy over the moon that day that I can't be at work. I wouldn't be able to hide it.
I was so revolted during the last inauguration and was forced to watch it and bite holes through my tongue that I promised myself I would take the next one off. So there.
There's something I like about a relatively anonymous blog. A lot of which is I can babble as much as I want. Ha! Away with me.

update
Okay. So it has been a while since I typed anything of substance. I think I got a little burned out by election writing. Also, I must admit that I generally run hot and cold on journalling.
Am gearing up for Christmas. Have bunches of stuff....need to do an inventory so I know what to go out for this week and next. I love shopping for people.
It's crazy cold here. Especially for us. Thinkin' bout pullin out the bumble bee coat to wear to school even though I usually keep it for walkin' the dog.
Am crazy annoyed by parents who have issue with us attending the Lucy's Legacy exhibit because they don't agree with evolution.
Dunno what else to type. Will try to be better.

...even in tough times...
The local t.v. station saw a 100% increase in donations --even tho' times are tough. Sometimes things happen that let you know things will be okay.
