1. Great weekend. Friday night I went to see Stay with Ashley. I liked it a lot, if nothing else it was very visually appealing--both because of the Ewan factor and the cinematography. ;) I'd like to see it again anyway, just to figure out all the little stuff I missed the first time through.

2. Friday, I also landed myself a second job at Barnes & Noble. They're starting me out in the cafe, which I wasn't too thrilled about, but I met the girl who's going to be training me and she seems really cool, so I'm sure it'll work out. Plus, since I'm technically a rehire, I'm making a whoooole lot more than I was when I worked in the bookstore at school last year. So that's pretty awesome.

3. Saturday my mother cancelled on me again, and so was spent out with the girls and Mike, who I haven't seen in months and months. We went to (where else?) Griffin's and had dinner and drinks, then walked over to Ram's Head, and then headed home to watch the Great Mouse Detective and sleep. Because we are just that cool.

4. Yesterday after Mike and Christina went home, Aster hung out and watched Veronica Mars while I went in for training at B&N (she's up to Drinking the Kool-Aid. Oh Casey, I love you.) and then when I got back we did the sitting around and talking until we realize we're starving thing. It was wonderful, and much needed.

5. We also watched The West Wing last night. I have just this to say: if all this "Look in the mirror at how you're screwing things up, JOSH!" stuff is just foreshadowing the Santos campaign crashing and burning because of Josh, I am going to be so freaking irritated. I do not want to see Yelling at Large Buildings Part II, thankyouverymuch. Other than that, the episode just broke my heart. Toby broke my heart. The President broke my heart. And CJ broke my heart even more. And Aster and I were both worried to see Will in the credits again, especially when the Santos people were talking about hiring some politically savvy people (is it savvy or saavy? I can never remember, and I'm too lazy to look it up.), but that scene where CJ comes in and bascially tells him he's the new Communications Director whether he likes it or not just killed me. Plus, with only two lines, Will didn't have time to bother me. So, good all around. Also? Maybe Josh will have to hire Donna after all. ;)

6. I have to work a bunch this week, training and stuff and B&N, but someone somewhere likes me very much, as I am definitely not scheduled for Wednesday night. ;)

Sooo, all in all, a fabulous weekend, which is just what I was looking for. I miss my friends, so this was just what I wanted. Especially since I have to work both Saturday and Sunday next weekend. :p

Are you working this Tuesday?
You'll have to show me tonight how to do the zip file since I'm clueless :)

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

I'm working Tuesday and Thursday night from 6-12.

And it's really easy to zip the files up, so don't worry. Also, I'm going to need to upload mine to your computer or a disc or something, so we can add those to the file, too.

Oh okay. My friend and I are going to dinner(I wsa going to invite you), maybe we'll stop by and get some cheesecake and see you :p

And awesome, thanks for helping me out. I'm just so clueless on some computer stuff.

I have no clue what they're doing with Josh, but that would annoy me too. However, as the guy in charge I doubt that'll happen. They simply can't afford to fuck up the campaign that way. However, I can totally see Santos losing and Josh blaming himself and sinking into a depression that way. But just say no to incompetent!Josh! That's like character assassination.

As for Will, I'm soooo happy he's back to writing, because that's the only time on the show that I liked him. I'm willing to forgive and forget the Will of the past two years if they just bring back the Will I used to like.

Thank god I already knew Donna was gonna be in the next episode or I would have thrown a fit when I saw she wasn't in the credits this week again! I'm just clinging to the idea that she's got a juicy storyline coming up and that's why they had to keep her benched for now.

I think you're right, and if they make Josh the screw-up again it'll be complete character assassination, and I don't think they'll go that far. He's supposed to be the guy who gets people elected, not the guy who can't figure anything out. I'm hoping all this stuff is just building up to Josh drama in the form of doubting himself and then kicking ass, and not something else.

Also, yes to bringing Will back if he's going to be S4 Will. I can't stand the Will of S5/S6, so if we have to see more of him I will be seriously unhappy. Hopefully being back in his old office will remind him how to be not eye-stabbingly irritating again. ;)

I was feeling the same way about Donna, too. I'm glad I know she'll be around next week, because the lack of Donna (and J/D!!) is really starting to sadden me. I'm all for juicy storylines.

Congrats on the new job! I had a job for three years where I had to work every Saturday and Sunday, so I can relate...ah the joys of making money *g*

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you. I'm excited to be making some extra cash, but I'm hoping the schedule doesn't kill me. :p

i still don't buy toby did this. i think there's a lot more to it, to be revealed at a later date. like he has to be covering up for someone else...

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

I have less trouble believing Toby would do it than I do believing he would let the investigation go on for so long, and let someone go to jail for him, before admitting that he did it. I mean, I don't think Toby would have done something like this in the early days, though he would have probably wanted to, but I can see where he would do it now, being almost completely isolated from the people he was used to dealing with, the people who used to pull him back when he was about to go to far. Plus, who would he be covering up for? The only person I could see him covering for is CJ, and I don't think she had anything to do with it.

But man, how heartbreaking was it to see the only person on Toby's side was Babish? Yeesh.

[emulsion-lift.livejournal.com]

it was just the way he chose his words on the phone with his lawyer. "you should know i confessed to the security leak..." i dunno. something didn't seem right about it. and when the president was scolding him, he was really holding back....i could be completely wrong, as i usually am, but i don't buy it. i think he did it to save the santos campaign and leo's reputation. now leo doesn't have to be deposed. plus, why was CJ on the edge of tears the whole time? i know her world was crumbling around her, but she wouldn't act that way just because toby was fired/facing a trial. she knows something else...

as far as josh cleaning house with his staff, you know donna is coming back. and you know they'll win the election. they have to end the show on a good note.

i like babish. i wish he didn't have to be a dick.

Savvy. Not Saavy. Two A's are reserved for the name Aaron, the word aardvark, and the car Saab. (and other goofy things that I can't come up with right now).

The West Wing is definitely rocking my socks this season too. I just hope that whole Kazakhstan (now there's a word I don't know how to spell!) assassination thing which was pretty much a subplot in the last episode doesn't end up coming back to haunt us. The writers don't seem as sure about where they're going with that as they do with the whole internal leak and race for next president plotlines.

I'm not sure if that made any sense. Later :)

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Savvy seemed right, but I just wasn't sure. That's a weird word. :p

And I've actually really enjoyed two episodes in a row, and surprise surprise, they had a lot to do with the actual West Wing, and not just the campaign, so that was nice. Also, I agree that this whole assassination thing doesn't seem terribly well-concocted. At least, I'm having trouble keeping up with it and where it's going. The leak and campaign stuff is more interesting anyway. :p
