Holy Night
Aug. 12th, 2005 12:40 pmOne of my favorite West Wing episodes ever. As you can see, I'm making my way through season four. There's a lot of ground I want to cover, or re-cover, before I crack open that season five set of DVDs.
A great ep. Toby and his ex-criminal father are reunited on Christmas Eve as the Whiffenpoofs sing, Danny gets the first whiff of the assassination story, Charlie meets Zoey's new French boyfriend and Will Bailey gets to meet President Bartlett. I love stories where there are a dozen threads in play at once and they extend forwards and backwards.
Someone on the Patrick O'Brian list caught a new reference in Master and Commander. Amazing that you can read a book so many times, you can be a part of a group with an amazing amount of brainpower and perception, and yet this little nugget has eluded years of scrutiny and discussion. O'Brian is the ultimate in long and intricate storylines and relationships.

In other news, we need to replace the bathroom in my mother's house, as she is now unable to climb into a bath unaided, and I've discovered a little lump at the base of my little finger. A spur of bone or something. Kerri's in Sydney at the moment, but I'll get her opinion when I pick her up tonight.
