watching the West Wing

Last night i watched some West Wing from the first season, which is something that i hadn't done in a very long time. i was shocked to discover that i had seen six out of the first eight episodes. i didn't think i started watching the show until the second or third season. i'm wondering if i caught reruns later on and didn't realize that it was the first season because Moira Kelly is only in half of the episodes.

i forgot how much i loved this show. i absolutely love CJ's klutziness and ineptitude with men (which is funny because Danny's throwing himself at her). i love Toby's crankiness and Sam and Josh's sarcasm. i love Leo's authority and quiet fortitude in the face of his divorce. i love that Donna wants to buy a dvd player, but can't because the administration doesn't "trust her to make a smart investment" so she keeps the change from Josh's lunch for the same reason. i love the chemistry between Jed and Abbey, how she didn't come in right away but was instantly the perfect first lady for the president that has the tendency to get pissed off at the wrong time for the right reasons. i love how this president is pro-life and has faith despite the fact that he's a Democrat (actually, his Catholicism is probably why he's a Democrat, i'm merely commenting on the fact that most in that party are not pro-life, though i am glad to say there are exceptions), that he's a complete nerd, that everyone in the office is brilliant, but makes mistakes like the rest of us.

re: Hunting Party

Well if you look at the comments on WoWHead, it looks like this talent doesn't give you a specific amount of mana, rather it increases the mp5 of the 10 party members that have the least amount of mana based on their buffed mana pool. i think that i'm going to respec Surv and test it out, along with Explosive Shot, because it now feels weird for me to be fully MM (how quickly i reverted back to a Surv hunter... i really think i will probably end up hybrid again).

Anyway, i should be going to sleep, but i'm wide awake. ): Class tomorrow, then election results. SNL tonight was great.
