Sweet Charity is open again for bidding. Lots of wonderful fangirls are donating their skills to the cause. I wanted to donate my writing, but with illness woes and such the way they've been, now is just not a good time for me to promise something. So instead, I shall spend a portion of my tax refund on the auction. Woo-hoo.

And [livejournal.com profile] deirdre_c and I always seem to bid on the same awesome people. Heh.

SO yes, go play: http://www.sweet-charity.net

If you guys could think good thoughts for me as far as work goes. Some stuff is going on thanks to me being in and out of work a lot the past few weeks. And I'm stressing out a bit and trying to get my head around it and pray that I land on my feet. I'm a Virgo and I don't do well with the unknown. It freaks me out a lot.

**

I watched Return of Jezebel James last week because it's by the Gilmore Girls creator...but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Maybe it's the laugh track that bugs me, but something isn't quite right about it. Still, I'll give it another week or so.

I'm not sure about New Amsterdam though. The premise is interesting and the guy is hot, but it's not clicking for me. I've seen two episodes and it's just not holding my attention. Does it get better over the next two? Help me, fangirls. I have only so many hours in a day and I'm still behind on Torchwood.

I pulled out my season one of West Wing this past week while suffering from the latest in my mutant plague that won't go away for long. I love this show. I miss what it was those first three seasons. It was just...so good. Josh and Leo and CJ and Toby and Sam...oh Sam. ANd Josh and Donna and not stopping for red lights...gah.

I think I now need to go through all my bookmarked recs and re-read my favorite West Wing fics.

Yeah, New Amsterdam hasn't really grabbed me. I tried a few episodes and it seems very Highlander but not as awesomely cheesy. My mom and i tried to explain the show to my sis using Highlander analogies and it went something like this:

Mom: It's like Highlander! With the Immortals and the Watchers! Oh and the past lives.
Sis:...?
Me: THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
Sis:...? What the fuck are you two talking about?

hee-hee. I like the attempts at explaining it.

I have the third & fourth episodes on my dvr, but I'm not sure if I should keep going.

Wow. The laugh track is exactly what bugs me about The Return of Jezebel James so it's nice to see it bugs someone else. It doesn't feel right with the writing or with Parker Posey's humour style. And the show is so short. I love both Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose (and it's got the guy who plays the wolf in 10th kingdom) so I'm going to persist, but yes the laugh track is off-putting! Agreed.

It's just really out of place on the show. And I do like both Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose and I think the premise of the two sisters getting to know each other through this situation could be interesting...but laugh track must go.

*GOOD WORK THOUGHTS*

I hope things sort themselves out work wise hon.

And interesting re Jezebel as I was wondering about that. You're gonna give it another go?! Hmm!

Thanks for the good thoughts. I really need them.

I am going to give Jezebel another go as I did adore most of GG (until the end)...and it has potential. I'm just not completely sold yet.

I hope everything is all right. I'm no Virgo, but I know I do my own fair share of freaking out when I'm not at work and just have feeling that something is amiss.

Ooo, West Wing. My friend lent me the first season of that months ago, and it's just been sitting on my shelf collecting dust, lol. I really need to sit down and give it a nice watch.

I appreciate the good thoughts. Things are just...I'm trying not to freak out too much, but I can't stop my brain from going to very bad places.

You should watch West Wing. But put aside a block of time because you'll get sucked in.

It seems I'm usually up against you and [livejournal.com profile] celli. Hee-hee. But I'm also the girl who doesn't like people to not have any bids, so if it's something I could possibly want, I figure "it's for charity"

Maybe it's the laugh track that bugs me, but something isn't quite right about it.

For me it's Parker Possy. I can't stand her. Never could. And the plot of the series doesn't really grab me either.
