Where was my camera when I needed it? I just took T&E on their walk through the neighborhoods (not the trail/cemetery route) and what did we see on one of the empty lots not yet built upon? Two deer. And this was even in the community adjacent to ours, which is more established. One was a fawn, I think, based on the size. They both just stood there and watched as we came trudging up this huge hill. Fortunately, T&E never noticed else I fear I would have had a tug of war on my hands; the deer never took their eyes off us. They were so close. It's so odd to see deer in a community like this, but I suppose they do have forest just over the road to live in. This is one of my favorite parts about where we live. I have seen foxes, too.
And now, I shall lament that "The West Wing" is going off the air. It lost me as a viewer for a couple of seasons due to bad writing, but then when they announce they're yanking off the air, the get in good writers again and now I'm in mourning. Bastards! Why does that always happen? It's like they have a great show going, then they decide to leave the writing to amateurs. Doesn't Hollywood get that a show needs good writers to keep its audience?
That's funny. I just caught an episode of "The West Wing" the other night and thought it was great and wondered why I hadn't been watching it these past few years and lamented that it was about to go off the air. Is it worth getting the dvd? Or is the writing bad for most of it?
ReplyDeletethis isn't related to the west wing...i just wanted to disagree with your rating of MI3. i think it was at least equal to the family stone which got a B+. i saw both over the weekend. actually, maybe i just disagree with the family stone rating? i think we normally agree on ratings so i thought i'd throw it out there.
ReplyDeleteMichelle: Yes, I think it's worth watching the DVD's. A majority of the shows were good, but there were a couple of seasons that the writing just got really dull and bad and CJ Craig was v. v. annoying.
ReplyDeleteAug: I actually really enjoyed "The Family Stone" despite the fact that it's completely unbelieveable that it couldn't possibly work out that way. I thought MI3 was good, but when I look at those two movies, I enjoyed "The Family Stone" more than MI3. However, it is difficult for me to compare the two genres because I go to see those types of movies to fulfill two different needs. MI3 had lots of action, which is what I want from that type of movie - I would have liked more humorous moments, ala Lethal Weapon. The Family Stone had laughs and "ahhh" moments, which is what I want from a romantic comedy.
