• Quotation of the Moment

    'Cause I am tired of working for candidates who make me think I should be embarrassed to believe what I believe, Sam. I'm tired of getting them elected. We all need some therapy, because somebody came along and said "liberal" means soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on Communism, soft on defense, and we're gonna tax you back to the Stone Age because people shouldn't have to go to work if they don't want to. And instead of saying "Well, excuse me, you right-wing, reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-eductaion, anti-choice, pro-gun, 'Leave it to Beaver' trip back to the fifties," we cowered in the corner and said "Please, don't hurt me." No more. I really don't care who's right, who's wrong. We're both right. We're both wrong. Let's have two parties, huh? What do you say?

    The West Wing #3.06: "Gone Quiet," written by Julia Dahl, Laura Glasser, and Aaron Sorkin.

A Winter Without Snow

Today’s Holidalies prompt is: “Have you ever had a winter without snow?”

I live in California, so the answer is going to be yes.  Pretty much every year since birth has been a winter without snow. Though, we did, one year, venture up to Lake Tahoe and enjoyed the snow, but otherwise… snow doesn’t fall all that naturally here in Silicon Valley.  Maybe up north, around Shasta, but not down here.  My dad gets snow every year, but he lives in Portola Valley near the Nevada border.  It’s pretty much a guarantee that at his elevation he’ll get snow every year.  It makes visiting him a bit of a trip, so we have to plan for April or May, when the snow melts and makes driving a lot less perilous.

In other news, I got my hands on the first three seasons of Stargate: Atlantis, so my weekend has been spent watching it.  I forgot how awesome this series was!  I haven’t really been keeping up with it on the SciFi Channel, but then again, I’ve been avoiding television since the Writers’ Strike began in November.

Are there any television programs you will immediately drop everything and watch?

SG:A is one show I’ll drop everything to watch at the moment – Moonlight is another.

I’m really looking forward to the back half of this season of SG:A – I’m excited about the guest stars :D

Something to say?
