The Eyes Have It

I thought I'd add just a little more to the closing of C.J. Cregg week... what better way to celebrate this fabulous woman than by mentioning a smart, witty and hotter-than-hell co-worker of C.J.'s



I'll tell you what, let's forget about the fact that you're coming a little late to the party and embrace the idea that you showed up at all.

No, honestly, I am dumb. Most of the time I'm playing smart

Why does being gay mean you can't keep your hands to yourself? And with what kind of gentlemanly pride are the armed forces willing to lay claim to restraint in that area? You want me to go get the file on sexual harassment at the DoD? You want me to ask these guys about Tailhook
Let Bartlet Be Bartlet



I didn't want you to feel beholden to me. Like an episode of 'I Dream of Jeannie' where now you have to save my life or the time-space continuum -- or you follow me around with coconut oil and hot towels

Fridays are great...but a C.J. Cregg week Friday kicks ass!!!



I'm drawing inspiration from the strength of the Goff family, the descendants of Hunter John and the owners and operators of the Goff family mill for more than two centuries now. In 1846, when Theodore Odie Goff was the proprietor, the mill burned to the ground. Well, that totally blows.

So, since it's a C.J. Cregg week Friday, here's a little more for ya...



No, I didn't mean that you have no social skills, Toby. I'm sorry if you think I was being insensitive to your... I... I think you're very--You're a very pretty girl, Toby
The Long Goodbye

Don't be fooled, they love us in Orange County. They're crazy-go-nuts for the President, though really the whole Democratic Party in general. I think they really like it when we come to town. When we were there last month, we were working the crowd and some young boys worried possibly that I couldn't afford fruits and vegetables on a government salary tossed me some of their own.

I thought my reflexes before, in the press room, were catlike.

Eppur Si Muove

"They made him say Hail Marys as they beat him to death. This was a crime of entertainment.... Beyond the crime itself is a manifestation of racism or sexism or anti-Semitism or homophobia that are only the tip of the iceberg of the pathology troubling this country.
In Excelsis Deo

First of all, you're wrong. Second of all, shut up. Third, I went to Hoynes about your thing, and it wasn't him who talked to you and I believe him, and now he's really pissed at me, and he's right. And fourth... shut up again.
Enemies

So that leaves us with the televised classroom, the green beans, the stamp, and, depending on who those people were that were standing near me, the possibility of a story about me being good in bed.

Dad, this would be a good time to mention that it's possible that an Egyptian cat goddess named Bast has put an ancient curse on me.

C.J. Cregg week continues



And as a special treat for our friend, Josh Lyman, who's recovering very nicely at G.W. The President's science advisors is telling us that psychics at Cal Tech and the Fermi National Accelerator Lab.....

You know what? I'm pretty sure that was supposed to be physicists.

And a very happy C.J. Cregg week Hump Day to you!



Yes. I agree with her. [points to Amy] Look, they take this job away from me, I got nothing. I don't have a cat. I could get one, but I don't have one. Frankly, I'm not wild about cats. I don't hate them. I'm just not... I could learn to like them, I guess, if I...

C.J. Week .... Election Day!



Hartsfield has accurately predicted every Presidential election since William Howard Taft, who, by the way, was the founder of the seventh inning stretch where we sing Take Me out to the Ball Game, words and lyrics by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer. It's all part of the service here at Claudia's House of Useless Knowledge. That's a full lid. Thank you very much.

C.J. Cregg week!!!

In honor of Election Day, on November 3, 2009, Popular and I are dedicating this week to all things C.J. Cregg.



When I came in here, back in the late 50's, there was a purpose to it, but then one thing led to another and I blacked out. I mean, I can hang in there with the best of them, sir, but somewhere in the discussion of anise and coreander and the other 15 spices you like to use to baste a turkey, I simply lost consciousness.

So this time I'm serious! ...I think


So, Flamingo here has been having something of a minor mental break down as of late. And so after a great little "come to Jesus" meeting with a friend the other day, I've decided I need to make some changes. And I've probably typed it before, but I will again... If you write it down/type it, you will do better at sticking to it... so here goes:

1. I will develop and maintain a more positive attitude.

2. I will not complain (as much or as often...come on now, can't just stop it completely)

3. I will not be overly sensitive! Not every action by those around my is intended to hurt, demoralize or kill me... (only some of them are)

4. I will take better care of myself, physically and emotionally.

5. I WILL go to the gym 3 - 5 times a week. (and not just half ass it...)

6. I will ask for help when I need it. (not just expect everyone else to psychically know that I need it)

7. I will love myself regardless of anything that happens.

8. I will eat better ...
> I am totally doing Ineffably's low carb detox/diet thing. I'll put up a seperate post if you're interested.

9. I will not be so fucking needy! Okay, I will learn to control it and not show it, even if it's killing me inside, so as not to scare off any potentials out there...

10. I will post more resolutions as I work and develop them in my new Flamingoness.

So there it is, my New Year's resolutions in November (if people can have Christmas in July, I can have New Year's resolutions in November). So, those of you who really know me, like in real life, just not via the internet... feel free to add any constructive (not destructive) criticism that you think will help me on this path to better myself. Loves ya!
