Bouncing between topics

I am stil exhausted, and we still have no food. The grocery workers' union moved the Ralph's employees to Vons and Albertsons so that people could shop at Ralph's without having to cross the picket line. I appreciate this, but still don't want to support them because the corporation locked out the worker's to show solidarity to the other chain stores and I think it's wrong. These are workers who are striking for a legitimate reason and that aura of corporate bullying infuriates me. But, I really, really need groceries. And Ralph's is the only 24 hour grocery store near me. Sigh.

Watched the two part Season 3 opener of The West Wing (because my VCR and I wage a constant battle between the real time and the amazing losing time internal clock I don't often get the title at the beginning). I liked it, but it kind of bounced between holding my interest and annoying me. What I did discover, that fascintated me, was the sense of CJ being stuck in that old boys club. I mean, they're all liberal democrats, pro-social causes, pro-equality, because she definitely suffers for being a girl, I think. I need to re-examine this.

Oh, and cretkid, I got the edited version of the crossover:) And crankygrrl was bored so I encouraged her to come play with us:) Bartlet talks about wanting to be an astronaut at the end of the Season 3 premiere. That's so going in to the fic:)

cretkid put out a call and I'm reiterating it. It's been a boatload of years since I've been to the Air and Space Museum. Anyone been recently who can offer some practical advice, or memories of where things are located?

I don't have to work on Monday or Tuesday. I have serious plans for locking myself in the house and watching my Season 3 DVD"s all day. It is a good plan, a nice plan, and I'm gonna do everything in my power to make it happen:)

And on a final note, I haven't purchased tickets for Burbank yet because I'm still ultra baffled - and quite frankly intimidated by the whole think. I know that I most definitely want to sit in the bar, drink dry martinis and meet all of y'all who are coming. I also know I want to see the panel on fic on Sunday. However, except for some of the big events, I can't find schedules that list what time things are. This seems silly, but I have to schedule around things, as well as rearrange or cancel students, classes, etc, so I need to know when I should show up:) And, really, the whole con things is making me feel mightily overwhelmed. So much so, that I might just have to say, I'll be the really tall pasty girl with the red boots sitting in the bar, begging olives from the bartenders. Help!

P.S. to whitelight1. I'm still so in love with the Futurama mood set. And sometimes choose my mood just to see what it will come up with:)

Oh, double_helix made a lovely new icon site of her work, and themoonbar has made a set of absolutely gorgeous Season 3 icons. All of you 50 iconers should go check it out (while I contemplate paying for 50 icon spaces).
