ball of cheese

[hafital]

Is it a sign of my encroaching adulthood that I love watching C-Span? Recently I have found myself unable to turn off the tv at 3am, when I damn well should have been in bed asleep ages ago, because of some riveting (riveting!)segment on the National Democratic Candidates rally or some congressional committee about America's foreign policy in Cuba or a Q&A panel on the media's role in the search for weapons of mass destruction (really really riveting! So riveting I streamed it from the C-Span website to watch the parts I missed!). If anyone is actually interested, one of the panelist on this happens to be Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who is the individual to blow the whole thing regarding the Nigerian uranium scandal and the Bush administration. He's also the husband to that supposed CIA agent who was outed not long ago and they talk about that in this Q&A. Dead interesting. Or, you know, I find it interesting, anyway. :) The URL for the segment (which opens up in Real player, is here. I've become a Joe Wilson fan because of this. He is one of the smartest people around, if you ask me.

I don't know. I feel the need to watch saturday morning cartoons or Sesame Street or something just to counter-balance this upsetting new development.

Also, I watched two episodes of that new show "Las Vegas" the other night, for which I have chosen to blame yahtzee63, and I liked it. A lot. It reminded me of Ocean's Eleven, only not quite so snarky and funny (and also on the side of the casino owner rather than the thieves) but still well written and interesting. I shall attempt to continue to watch.

I wish I had intelligent things to say about "Alias" other than "This show is so good!" but, this show is so good. :) They're setting up some nice plot tangles. I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

I fear my story (for which I now have a complete draft! yay) is one big melodramatic ball of cheese. :) I suppose it could be worse things. heh.
