i love the west wing... seriously, i cannot believe it took me this long to buy it on dvd. right now i'm watching the thanksgiving episode where josh, sam, and toby tell the turkey delivery guy to put the two tukeys (one to be pardoned by the president) in cj cregg's room and let them wander around. i'm sorry, if you haven't ever watched the west wing this makes no sense, but it's great, go watch it.

oh, and right now i'm glad to be alive. not as much glad, or amazed, but... well, i guess i'm happy my car is in one piece. it's the storm of the century here in milwaukee and i drove through it at midnight. and i'm pretty sure i've mentioned my shoddy windshield wipers before... so, basically it was like driving in a hurricane with no wipers at night. i could not see a thing, somehow i made it on and off the highway by following cars in front of me. and i paid attention at the right moment and got off the highway at my exit. i rolled down my windows, ignoring the fact that i, and the inside of my car, was getting soaked. that was all i could see. i hit a curb on locust, but, that's the worst thing that happened. i avoided what i estimate to be a level four whitewater spout in the middle of the road due to overflooding of the manhole... and somehow made it back to my apartment in one piece. when i got on the highway the highway was flooded... the highway! seriously, it was insane. and i was on quite a high when i got out. i was shaking, i mean, i'm good under pressure, i kept my cool the entire drive, although there might be indents on my steering wheel from my grip. when i got out of the car i dropped to my knees and thanked god... again. i thanked him a few times on the drive back. and this is supposed to continue until 7 am... great.

and i went to the lesbian bar and a hitchhiker wanted me to pick him up. i'd write in more detail but the high of surviving that drive has ended and the west wing is done on this disc. and i'm tired. i'll try to write more tomorrow. till then.
