Yeah I scratched my head at that phrase too. Aside from my dad who derisively called it "The Left Wing" when I told him I'd started watching it earlier this year (ugh), I'm pretty sure many many people still consider (early) West Wing the height of Sorkin's legacy, and still really good television?

I'm finally, at 23, learning how to dress my body, instead of buying something I like in the store but that doesn't work for me, that I then buy anyway and leave in my closet for years cause it doesn't actually look good. It's a slow process.

I'm halfway through season 3 of BB, and I didn't start it until the day of the finale. I didn't care too much about spoilers until I really started knowing the characters and what was going outside of tumblr gifsets. So, I picked the worst day ever to start caring. So far I've avoided anything about the finale, though…

I finally started watching Breaking Bad the day of the finale (now through half of season 3 already). Dear lord, that episode with the kid gutted me. More than anything else I've seen so far.

100% agreed. I'm incredibly introverted — I love a night out, but I usually need most of the next day to be alone again to recharge — and have dated both an extrovert insensitive to my own personality, and another introvert. The former, when I was in town to visit him from college, didn't accept that maybe I wanted to…

@avclub-6eaac84b8b1cdbb855bdad02f8faa344:disqus  It's funny that that's the exact criticism I've seen of Dads' racism, vs. Schmidt's in New Girl. (Dads' makes the racist comment the joke, New Girl makes Schmidt's obliviousness/racism the joke) I can't vouch for it cause I didn't watch Dads, but it's interesting seeing…

(Booze is usually separate from beer but I saw beers at the end of this one so here we go.) I had the Stevens Point pumpkin ale last night. Suuuuuper nutmeggy, to the point of pretty much drowning out any pumpkin flavor. Tasty though, will be better in like November.

Woodchuck's spring cider is the one that tastes like potpourri! Not my fave.

@avclub-7f149f0a044e9ffbbe102725107074d2:disqus tried to find a good representation, this was the best I got

It read more to me as such overconfidence, he didn't expect she would do anything but take him back. Then the way he says to Luke "Yep, we're still together, we hit a rough patch, but we're making it work," felt like he was thinking, she hasn't said yes technically but I'll wear her down. Which is a little rich,…

I've gotten a ways into season 5 this week, and I don't know if I was just too hung up on Jess in high school to accept any other guy after him, but going back now, I'm liking Logan a lot more. I think, at least from what I've rewatched so far, the show handles the differing opinions of him by Rory and Lorelai better…

Hmm, I'm kind of the opposite. I liked him this rewatch, up until

You can have a checking account, at least at some banks — I did in high school, I think you just have to have a parent's name on it too. So my mom could go online and see all my debit card transactions, but it was my money/account. I can see Lorelai trusting Rory with money enough to not monitor that kind of thing.

I love that scene too. "So do we have to move?"

Lovely how predictable these things are, isn't it?

I don't really know how I feel about Welcome to the Family and Sean Saves the World being a part of the new NBC Thursday night…though since they come between Parks and MJF I'll probably keep them on while I do dishes or something.

I did not know that about radishes, and that makes a lot of sense! Now I'm just bummed I wasted a whole bag of them. At least they're cheap, I guess.

Yeah, that's pretty much where I landed on the whole thing. I think I'll hold off for awhile longer before jumping into it.
