Things about today:

1.) I have Cold Stone Creamery jelly beans. I think I still like regular Jelly Bellies a little better, but these are pretty awesome. I am surprised how much I am loving the mint mint chocolate chocolate chip ones, because normally I don't care for mint in jelly beans.

2.) TV Meme!

09. Best scene ever

It will probably shock you that I did not pick a Battlestar Galactica scene. I thought about doing a top five thing, but the truth is, one scene jumped out to me immediately, and it's such an intense, powerful scene that it would really, really, really take a lot to ever change this answer. Despite many wonderful scenes in many wonderful shows, this one stands out to me:




Toby buries the Korean War vet in In Excelsis Deo from the West Wing.

Seriously, every time I watch this, I just sob. Between Toby doing the right thing, and Mrs. Landanham and her boys, and the beautiful version of Little Drummer Boy, which is my all-time favorite Christmas carol... Whenever I watch this, I don't cry. I sob. And even my husband tears up at this one.

Amazing, powerful, heart-wrenching scene.

3. I've read all the BSG remixes. I've read a few of the HP remixes. (Which, I haven't read HP in AGES.) I've read the Big Bang Theory remix. I haven't bothered to put together a rec list yet, because I'd rec anything I read. The six BSG remixes are here (And they are ALL excellent), and the fandom tags for remix is here.

Anyone got guesses on what I wrote? I wrote two this year. :) One is pretty damn obvious, the other... maybe not so much, but probably. As always, remix has been a great challenge, and thanks to musesfool and her minions for running it! Guess 'em both and I'll write you a ficlet :)

4. I did my first "sit for an hour and work exclusively on original stuff" today, and I'm really excited. I'm still in the outlining stages, but I just started brimming over with ideas. I've got several pages of notes that hopefully I will be able to decipher later!

5. Speaking of writing, guess I should do it. Hope everyone is having a good day!

One of the best TV sequences ever. I saw it linked in a friend's journal before ever watching the show and knew greatness when I saw it. TWW is such fine TV.

Could you link to the BBT remixes?

There's only one. http://archiveofourown.org/works/87130?view_adult=true

Thanks! There is a lot of BBT fic out there. And more Penny/Sheldon than I thought possible. Interesting.

I totally don't get Penny/Sheldon. As friends, but in a relationship? It feels too OOC (especially for Sheldon) to me.

The scene which gets me is WW's Christmas ep from the previous year - Noel. When Donna and Josh are leaving the White House at the end, and carolers are singing "Ring, Christmas Bells" (which is one of my favorites), and in the background you hear sirens.... Yeah. That's pretty much our favorite ep (although Shibboleth is fantastic, too).

And, catching up quickly from the meme days I missed - I agree that Muppets are awesome. :D

Oooo. That's a good one, too! The West Wing Christmas ones always got me.

The idea of Cold Stone *jellybeans* is boggling me. Because, *Cold Stone!* why settle for anything but the ice cream? (also, wah that there isn't one here. I miss Oregon.)

That scene is SO WELL DONE. The cinematography, the editing, MRS L.....it is truly one of the best TV scenes, ever.

(I want to do this meme myself, but I'm having a hard time deciding on all-time favourite show.)

Yay original stuff excitement!

Because the jelly beans are lower fat and are sold in my grocery store? :) They don't compare to the ice cream though.

You should do the meme! Do a top five if you can't decide >:)
