I have some issues with Maureen Dowd but I do like her column today:

Jed Bartlet gives advice to Barack Obama, as written by Aaron Sorkin.

BARTLET Senator.

OBAMA Mr. President.

BARTLET You seem startled.

OBAMA I didn’t expect you to answer the door yourself.

BARTLET I didn’t expect you to be getting beat by John McCain and a Lancôme rep who thinks “The Flintstones” was based on a true story, so let’s call it even.

(If anyone is anti NY Times registration and wants it sent to them just let me know, it's worth the read).

Also, while I'm all political, penknife has a great post here about McCain and Obama's LGBT policies and how they will affect her family.

Edit: And then I watched 4 episodes of TWW. God, I <3 all of them. I always go to S4 for some reason. Also, Toby/CJ for the win.

So ... I meant to get to bed early tonight (ie: before 11). I am so going to pay for this at work tomorow but I don't care, because the internet is very kind to me.

* Downloadable AVI of the Studio 60 6 minute promo from txvoodoo. So much love. Brad Whitford. Just, love you. Those quiet 'yeah's just get me for some reason. Matt Perry was pretty awesome too.

* audiography is having a covers week. I am so dead. I am a sucker for a good cover song.

Also I watched 'The Wrath of Con' tonight. I adore, adore those flashbacks.

As for Arsenal. *sighs* I can't say I was that surprised but ... 2 Barca goals in the last 14 minutes and a goalkeeper sent off. You couldn't have made it a little harder on yourselves? Also, I think Thierry is so gone. *sighs again*

I'm pretty tempted to go downstairs and watch the snowball scene from 'Inaugaration II.' I've been really craving it for some reason. I seem to be having a Josh Renaissance. Or a Brad Whitford one. Or a Sorkin one. Or something.

Must be quick as I really should not still be up right now.

I spent the weekend at my friends’ wedding in Golden Bay and had an awesome time. The weather was gorgeous, where we were staying was right on a beautiful beach, I met some great people who I wish I’d got to know better and it was just a great weekend. I drank a little more than I had intended being almost surrounded by people I didn’t know too well, but that was pretty fun too.

Randomly, the night sky is just so, so beautiful when you’re away from any major cities.

The real goodbyes have started now though. The wedding was the first one, now it’s all packing and goodbyes. Ah well. I know I’m making the right decision but hey, nobody said it was going to be easy.

Warning: Chances are there are going to be a lot of these "OMG, Moving!' posts this week. I haven't moved in 17 years. It's going to start freaking me out. Bear with me.

Watched the Superbowl today with Dad at a sports bar. I had a great time. I was cheering for the Seahawks, but in the end the Steelers probably deserved to win, though the score should have been closer. Seattle were pretty unlucky with some of the calls they got and except for the last quarter, they had played a damn good game.

New TV! * twirls *

Grey’s Anatomy, I didn’t realise how much I missed you.

Tomorrow: House!

Matthew Perry is signed up for the latest Sorkin/Schlamme enterprise.

I know there were reports he had turned it down, but this article, and others I've seen, seem pretty sure he has signed up. Excellent! I really loved him in his guest-starring roles in TWW. It looks like an interesting show. New!Sorkin, mmm.
