Blood Roaring in My Ears

itsallovernowQuick question to anyone reading Blue Eyes. If I finish it today, would you rather have the last chapter in two posts - today and tomorrow, or one gigantic post. And also, do you want to wait for the epilogue until the whole thing is edited, or have that before the edit?

kernezelda made me a Beavis and Butthead icon. But I'm a dumbass and haven't uploaded it yet.
I really loved last night's West Wing, even if the conflict was awfully pointed. Toby and the Jack Daniels and the floundering amidst the old men of government, John Goodman who is just fantastic in everything and whom I loved in this, and James Cromwell, the Woodrow Wilsony democrat, fastidious and moral and idealistic. A really good example that they can still be sharp and pointed and beautiful without Sorkin. And "It's sad. It's just sad." With that beautiful light, those white chairs and green grass and silence broken by the phone ringing.
We also watched That '70's Show. I told M. he was Fez. (Because he spent the entire day on the couch yesterday drinking vodka sours and trying to convince me to invite my girlfriends over for a topless party. He's such an adolescent when he's drunk and I finally just went to bed. His parting words were, "But everyone loves boobs." I don't doubt that this is true, but still. It's obnoxious. It's not offensive, but it's sort of beyond endearing, in a bad way. I find him a pathetic sterotype when he acts like that. Overgrown, and bored, and kind of sad and I hate looking at him that way).
My TV kind of popped and turned green, and now the screen is sort of alien green. I'm assuming that's a bad thing, right? Any suggestions? My last TV had an unfortunate fast forward meltdown. But this one's only two years old.
I'm also reading Jitterbug Perfume again. I needed some Tom Robbins and my mom has my copy of Skinny Legs and All. Haven't read it since I was 18, and I hope it fares as well as it did then. Tom Robbins was one of our example authors in defense of the west having rooted writers. Stegner's theory is that the west is too restless, that the literature has that feeling because the writers from this region are effected by the sprawling edginess of it, that Eastern writers are rooted and it produces a more grounded, defined type of work. I still don't know if Tom Robbins is a good example or not, but he always makes me glow, so I'll read him regardless.
