liptonrm_backupThis week has been tiring, yo. I'll be real happy to go on vacation. We just need to find a campground that isn't completely booked up for the next month worth of weekends. It's been a while since I've gone camping, I'd forgotten how popular state campgrounds were. It's mostly annoying.
Almost went out and spent money I didn't have, last night. Happily I was able to head the impulse off at the pass and ended up just browsing. I like things, I like to buy things. I'm a good little consumer.
The New Chick isn't so bad. I've become accustomed to her ways. Plus she burned me a copy of Kelly Clarkson's latest album. Anyone who gives me music is in my good graces, no matter what. We'll never be going out for metaphorical drinks after work but I don't think I'll be as nervous and stressed. This is a good thing.
Watched some more West Wing season 3 last night. The more I watch early seasons the more baffled I am by what I hear is happening in later seasons. This is another case of TV screwing up a great show and it's such a shame. There's just so much to love. Not solely with the politics but primarily with the characters. Oh those great, wonderful, and interesting characters. They're all 3-dimensional with their strengths and weaknesses, flaws and perfections. I could watch them all day and not get tired or bored. I love them all.
It's interesting how many of the shows that I love involve family in one way or another. Usually in the context of families that people create for themselves, the bonds of friendship and loyalty and love. The oldest, most fundamental factors that make us human never really change and every new generation finds ways in which the oldest stories resonate in their same but different lives.
ETA: Have found a campsite. Have made reservations. This is it. It's up on Lake Superior by Sault St. Marie. Eeeeexcellent.
