stabbity!

Wow, do I have bad sewing karma today or WHAT.

I'm not great with a needle, but I'm very good at basic sewing -- i.e. sewing patches on things. I ripped a small hole in a pair of jeans a few weeks ago, so I put on an iron-on patch. Which I knew was only going to be a temporary solution, because that stuff wears off fast. So the patch is coming undone, so today I went to sew it on properly. Stitch, stitch, stitch, all fine, except the thread gets tangled pulling it through once, and a tiny knot develops. After spending a few minutes tugging at it, I give up the knot for lost and cut it off, then try gluing the loose ends together. No such luck. I cut off the little gluey bits and tie the ends together. Of course, THAT tiny knot won't pull through the jeans. I give up, cut off the knot, tie off either loose end and restart stitching from there, sadly accepting the loss of a fair little length of thread. Stitch, stitch, stitch -- and, pulling the stitch through, the thread snaps near the needle. Goddamn it. Get rid of the bit of string still attached to the needle, go to rethread the patch-string into the needle. A bit gets caught in the eye, and, giving it a little tug, my threader-thing breaks.

I give up.

okay, so sometimes i <3 spoilers

CJ/Danny becomes canon? HUZZAH! That was totally my sekrit West Wing OTP, though I thought it had no chance so I tried to repress it. I love spoilers sometimes.

However, I am less thrilled to discover that, having just tonight watched S2's "The Portland Trip", I will be DENIED Danny Concannon until halfway through season FOUR. Goddamnit it. This is a sad thing to do to me in the throes of my exultation, Sorkin. A sad, sad thing.

Please tell me there is CJ/Danny fic out there, people. Because in my tentative searchings, I have found much Josh/Donna and Josh/Sam and CJ/Toby, but not much else. I have no objections to these pairings, as I am relatively shipless for this show at the moment, and while CJ/Danny and Charlie/Zoey are still my favorites, this is not to the exclusion of other pairings. But I'd really, really like some OTP fic as well. Surely it's out there somewhere? And well-written?

In other news, thanks to Easter, today was my first complete day off in nearly a month, and let me tell you, it's nowhere near enough. There's a reason weekends come in two-day sets. Just not for theater people, and definitely not for me. You know it's bad when one of your actors approaches you in concern because you seem so stressed out. I'm not stressed, per se -- just exhausted. One day off is better than nothing, but what I really need is to sleep for a solid week, and I don't have that option.
