ugh. I'm sick. I hate being sick. I guess I should just be thankful I didn't get sick the day before finals like I did last year.

I spent Saturday and Sunday watching The West Wing Season 1 DVDs that Jackie and Andrew gave me.
I really like the show. I don't think I could ever become really obsessed over it, like with Veronica Mars or The Office, but I really like it. I love Sam and Charlie and Josh and Donna and Josh/Donna and C.J. and Danny and C.J/Danny and Leo and Toby and Zoe and I just kind of like President Bartlet honestly, but I mean I don't dislike him. For some reason I just don't like him as much as everyone else on his staff or in his family. The only character I don't like is Mandy but that was only for the first few episodes I think because after that she just sort of faded into the background and didn't do much and I don't think she lasts much longer than season 1, so I don't really dislike her.

Um, yeah, I don't know. It's just really enjoyable to watch, and I love almost all the characters, and I'm really into politics, so yeah. I just like it.


I'm buying season 2 on iTunes since I have that $150 gift certificate from my dad for iTunes and it's cheaper and faster than Amazon. Now I just need to figure out what to do about the other 5 seasons.

Prison Break, Heroes, and Studio 60 on tonight! I love Monday night TV. I really loved last week's episode of Heroes (I'm so glad I decided to stick with this show, because it got so much better after the first episode, and it just keeps improving), and last week's Prison Break, so I'm especially looking forward to those. Studio 60... eh. I absolutely hate the way they characterized Danny last week (way to make something totally sweet and adorable get incredibly creepy and stalkerish within like 5 minutes). But I love Matt and Jack and Wilson White and Tom and Lucy so I'm still looking forward to the show.

I'm the exact same way with President Bartlet! Like, I feel like I should like him more, since I love everyone on his staff and they all worship him. But mainly I'm just "eh" towards him...and most of his family, actually.

Yay, I'm so glad you're getting into The West Wing. Season two is totally made of win, so it's a good season to buy!! I would say seasons two and three are my favorites.

Ah, good, I'm not the only one. I like him well enough, but I think what really makes his administration great is all the people around him (i.e. Leo, Josh, Sam, Toby, C.J., etc.) and not necessarily himself, so while I don't think he's the best president in the world, I like his administration because of them. I really like his daughter Zoey, I'm not really sure why honestly, I just do, and I'm kind of indifferent towards his wife.

I've seen about 6 episodes so far and I absolutely loved the first two. I mean, the rest were good, but those stood out. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of season 2, and I ended up ordering seasons 3 and 4 at Barnes and Noble since I remembered I had a gift card to there, so hopefully I'll have those to watch soon too. :D
