    The West Wing #2.12:

    The difference between a good speech and a great speech is the energy with which the audience comes to their feet at the end. Is it polite? Is it a chore? Are they standing up because their boss is standing up? No, we want it to come from their socks.

    The West Wing #2.12: "The Drop-In," written by Lawrence O'Donnell, Jr. and Aaron Sorkin.

Knightfall: Update

Posted by jetblack on November 28th, 2005

Now that I’m out of NaNoWriMo, I’ll be using the actual wordmeter deal to the proper word count total I’m aiming for. Today I added a couple thousand words to Chapter Nine. I ended up skipping aead to nine because I was getting hung up on trying to write chapters seven and eight. Whenever I get hung up, I try writing ahead a little bit to get the ball rolling.

Here’s today’s meter:

… a day I’ll always remember.

Today’s Something*Positive covers some familiar territory for me, considering that I used to watch this show practically all the time way back in the day. In fact, I also used to catch the MST3K Hour, when they broke up the movies into one hour episodes and Mike Nelson would dress up as that one guy from that old PBS show whose name I don’t remember.

I remember naming my cat Tom Servo, and watching Mitchell until I knew it by heart because it was the first Rhino tape I bought. Ken and Todd and I used to watch all his old tapes, too, and that was how I saw Cave Dwellers, Leech Woman, and of course, MANOS: The Hands of Fate. Torgo rules. Anyway, I read that and thought I would write a little something random about it because I miss Joel, the bots, Doctor Clayton Forrester and TV’s Frank. Not so much Pearl and Brain Guy, though Bobo was hilarious.

And no, I never caught the season on KTLA.

Mitchell’s on the corner. MITCHELL!
