Day 5

I’m finding that on a daily basis, I don’t have a ton of stuff to say. I’m not the most talkative person in my family, either, believe it or not.

I’ve been watching The West Wing and listening to The West Wing Weekly, a podcast made by a major Aaron Sorkin fan and Josh Malina, one of the actors from the show. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched the entire series all the way through, but it’s a lot. The podcast is always on, while I work or shower or whatever. I like their voices. I like the way they make each other laugh.

Last night I dreamed that I was at an office job someplace, and Josh Malina stopped by my desk to tell me something. He leaned down next to my desk and told me he was getting married (in real life he’s married, to a woman he always refers to on the podcast as “the lovely Melissa,” which is sweet). In the dream, after the announcement, I said, Well, that sucked.

I don’t know if I was criticizing the delivery or the news itself, but that seemed harsh. Sorry, Josh. I think you’ve been married a long time, and you seem happy. I wish you nothing but a life of joy, and to be in my TV more often.
