You know you have been watching JAG too long when...

1. You refer to your closest male friend as "sailor" even though he is a computer science major.

2. You hum the JAG theme song when out in public just in case one of the characters or a producer happens to walk by.

3. Friday nights from 8:00-11:00 are blocked out as JAG time (yes, even though the show is only on from 9:00-10:00... I need time to prepare before and vent afterwards!!!).

4. You steal quotes from the show and use them on your coworkers and/or students (FYI: The latter tend to have a hard time grasping what you are saying).

5. When a scene in the show calls for someone to rewind a tape and play it back in slow motion (as in this weeks "Camp Delta"), you find the spot in the show before the characters realized that this could be done in order to see if you can do the same thing.

6. You find out that number five really does work!

7. Your blog's name is "Future JAG Screenwriter"

8. Your dog's name is "Future JAG Screenwriter"

9. You begin to seriously consider joining the Navy in order to become part of JAG (FYI: This is not recommended. My college roommate just took a class on the LSAT--in order to GET IN TO law school--and she claims that older men have been heard "prayin for their mamma's" because it was so hard. Also, apparently when 7+the square root of Aunt Ethel's fruitcake-your dog's purple sweater vest=The Capital of Japan is Your Mom).

and... last but not least...

10. When Harm says (and here I paraphrase) "Your Honor, Prosecution is going on a fishing expedition... this would work if it was a senate hearing and not a court marshall"... You remember that a few weeks ago there was an episode about a father/son fishing expidition and a senate hearing, compliments of our new friend Maj. Gen. Gordon Creswell.

P.S. To any JAG producers out there who happen to be reading this: PLEASE HIRE ME NOW. Who else would realize such things as #'s 5,6, and 10? Exactly. So what are you waiting for? Let's burry the hatchet and head on out. Oh wait, that's supposed to be let's make like a baby and head on out... hmmm... Well, you get my drift, yes?

The Devil has Enough Advocates

The title of this post is my offical quote of the day. Can anyone guess which TV show it comes from? Hmmm... probably the ONLY show that I watch: JAG.

I thought that this quote represented the philosophical values and constitutions that our country values and upholds... yada yada yada... In reality, I just thought it was a good quote.

Thoughts about last nights episode:

1). The Army chic needed to be put in her place. Thank you Harm for your noble assistance in this endeavor.

2). I liked the quote towards the end, "Do you think American's appreciate what we are doing here?" (something to that extent). The quote seemed like the characters were asking the audience if we appreciated what they are doing. Answer: Yes! By all means, continue doing what you are doing!!!

3). No Mattie. I am depressed.

4). So David is going to write for JAG and direct! Yipee!! Although, I must say that I most enjoy when Zito writes. He is my favorite. I think that he should adopt me.

5). I LOVED THE SCENES FOR NEXT WEEK--Thus proviing that Harm is still a sucker for lost causes! However, I must make one comment: Is Jenn going for the Tomb Raider look with her hair? Or perhaps the hair dresser needs to go back to hair dressing school? Honestly, I can write better than they can do her hair!

Okay, that is really all I have to say.

P.S. My ceiling is fixed--Praise the Lord and Hallelujah!

I have a hole in my ceiling... not my bucket.

Yes, sadly, the saga of Sarah's leaky ceiling continues. Today I came home to find a hole in my ceiling. I was more than slightly ticked off, however, because they didn't cover anything when they made the whole so I had to change my sheets and clean my room--not fun!!! And, I hadn't already cleaned my room so there were some things in there that I am sure they lovely men who are in the process of fixing my ceiling did not want to see!

Mom mother's advice was to ask for a skyline. The only problem with that would be that the ceiling is right below Bruce and Cat's bathroom=very not good. But, nice try Mom ;).

In other news, I did not get to see JAG last week because there was a power outage in Vermont and New Hampshire. I was pretty gosh-darn bumbed about that one. Still am, really, but I am finding that my life is continuing. And yes, Dr. Mohrmann, the crickets are still chirping. I shudder when I even think about the man... aka, the anti-Christ. Yes, I know I need to show him love... I am still working on that one.

While we are on the subject of love, God has been teaching me about his love lately. I am more and MORE amazed by his awesomeness and just how much he really does care even though I do very little (ALL my righteousness is as filthy rags) for Him. I am learning, daily, to rest in His love. He really is a GREAT God. "God is good all the time; all the time God is good!"

Sorry it's been so long since I have blogged... I haven't really had anything to write. But, as Jo always says to Beth in Little Women, "Never write what you know... What do you think of the boy?" And to those of you who have certain kicks about writing--get over yourselves. I will write when I am good and ready to. The novel will get published whether I write today or tomorrow or the next day. And you can quote me on that even though I just began a sentence with "and."

Love always,

Sarah JOY :)
