Scandal is reaching a little too far for my tastes
I actually enjoyed this weeks episode, for the first time this season.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Really, sj? I thought the whole NSA thing seemed...out of scope. I mean, seriously. If the NSA is spying on Americans and the President is backing them and they're all trying to hide shit AND you got played? You'd be dead. Not to mention you'd be NOT TALKING ON YOUR FREAKING CELLPHONE. OMG.

meara the cellphone thing did have me screaming at my TV, and it was totally over the top. But I enjoyed Scandal last season because every episode was an over the top roller coaster, and at least this episode didn't put me to sleep. I thought the President didn't know that it was active until Olivia told him? Or at least not that the spying expanded to even his office.

sj, I suppose that's true.
Makes me feel awfully cynical about our government, though.
Also sad that they seem to be setting up prickly redhead as a traitor to the group. I like someone to be mean but still good!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I am kicking myself! I had tickets to see Michelle Obama today and I took a friend. We stood in line for two hours but her daughter (20 months was exhausted--nap time) and K it was raining and cold. They ran out of space in the main hall so they moved people into an overflow room. We didn't make it in, so we decided to bail. Now Owen's teacher told me she was in the overflow room and FLOTUS made the Secret Service take her into the overflow room FIRST and spent a lot of time shaking hands!
Owen's teacher got to talk to her and shake her hand.
I went home and watched the speech online.

oof. Just watched Nashville. I love Connie Britton. I love Hayden Panettiere. There are too many wavy haired blondes and un-differentiated white guys. I will give it one more episode and then, I think, done.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I hope things are as peaceful and good as possible, Frank.
I watched Scandal for the first time last night. It was OTT but I kinda dug the soapiness of it. It wasn't logical, but it amused.
I napped earlier and I just sort of want to go back to sleep.
