Yesterday I made a FANTASTIC find. For the past year I've been buying the shooting scripts for different movies and TV shows. I like studying the dialogue and the outline of scenes, and reading the script's character notes gives a different take on certain scenes. I found some good scripts, but there was one book I couldn't find. I've been looking for this book for five years, and until yesterday it had eluded me. (Yes, I could have bought it off of Amazon, but that would have been cheating.) Yesterday I finally found the West Wing book that details seasons one and two. I couldn't be more excited. It doesn't contain any of the shooting scripts (but there's a book for seasons three and four that does), but it has interesting story background. Very, very, very happy.
Unrelated to West Wing, but related to books ... I've been feeling a lot of parallels with the Berenstain Bears lately. I think this boils down to two main reasons. 1) I've been trying to eat a lot of berries this summer, and I feel like the Berenstain Bears were always eating blackberries. 2) I'm pretty sure my mom bought me their book "Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room" to show me how fun a clean room can be. This lesson has been slow to stick, though, so I'm going to have to do some serious cleaning this weekend. And a part of me wishes I had a copy of that book just to get amped up about it.
On another note, my popsicle stick told me a funny joke yesterday ...
Q: Why was the book in the hospital?
A: Because it hurt its spine.
