"He's running the hair dryer."
"I wish I didn't know."
I love that - both the comment and that it's Santos with the hairdryer.

"The notion that I'm the problem is convenient but completely fallacious." I am going to steal that line and use it the next time I get shit at work.

Gosh. Jeanine Garafolo is tiny.

CJ's hot. I mean, truly. The thought of a CJ Cregg/Sophia Curtis pairing is damn near perfect. They're so hot. And strong. Hot and strong. But vulnerable, too. Apparently I'm gone for these women.

Ellie was a victim on CSI and now she's all confused in my head. (between_names – you've seen that one, right?)

This whole exchange was great:

Kate: Sorry, I was golfing.
CJ: You golf?
Kate: Mini.

Will: I was working.
Kate: I was golfing.
CJ: Mini.

You know who CJ and Kate need in this situation? Fitz. They need Fitz.

Oh, god. Josh and Toby. Josh and Toby. It hurts. For real. It's awkward and wrong and Josh says things like, "So jail, huh?" And he's going??? Toby's going to jail? Oh, the tension between these two. "I'm continually amazed at your ability to be a bastard." And, "No, you won't. You won't be coming back. At least have the integrity to say that out loud." This is what their years together come to?

Will with the wedding planning! "In the service of your country, son."

And now Josh is sort of a presidential outsider because, well, he's on the outside but it's not fun to see and I imagine, as much as he's excited about the potential with Santos, it's not fun for him.

No Bartlett this episode?

I consistently enjoy the scenes with Santos and his wife. She's steady and she's there and I believe them when they're on screen together. Jimmy Smits is so good.

I have to admit that I have little to no interest in the current administration's foreign affairs woes.

Josh! And Toby! He went back! I really love Josh right now. He's difficult and challenging and not always so nice but he believes in his friendship with Toby and Toby's opinion matters to him. And Toby's point isn't without validity. But did they know, without a shadow of a doubt, about Bartlett?

I don't believe people would clap at the funeral at the introduction of Santos but I did have faith that what he had to say would resonate – would be the right thing.


It's a week of travel. I fly to Cincinnati on Tuesday afternoon for a Wednesday meeting and then I'm off to NYC again on Friday night for my step-father's 60th birthday party. I'm horrible (and uncomfortable) with sentiments but I need to make sure he knows what it's meant to have me in my life. Maybe I'll just buy him something shiny. He likes shiny things.

Something's changed with Sally in the past week or so and, suddenly, she's 10x more affectionate. Previously, she wanted to be near me. Now she wants to be in direct physical contact. It's pretty much the best thing ever. She loves me but not nearly as much as I love her.

Oh! And I lost my cruise ticket. We leave on the 24th, come back the morning of the 31st, and I can't find any of my paperwork. Clearly I'm not meant to be in charge of these kinds of life details. I should probably call the cruise line. Tomorrow. ETA: My mother found the ticket in the garbage in the bedroom I stayed in over Thanksgiving. Good thing she knew it would be just like me to throw away my ticket.

ETA: Will someone tell me why people continue to post fic with white text on black backgrounds?
