quote of the day . . . .

from the waitress tonight at supper, "I had a bunch of wild kids and difficult drag queens. I can take one or the other but not both."

another Boston Legal quote

"We know we don't deserve Shirley Schmidt, but just the possibility is enough to sustain us." Denny to Shirley. ~ It was such a cute, quirky, romantic moment.

Edwin Poole "Thoughts of the times we were carnal got me through it."
Shirley Schmidt. "We were never carnal."
Edwin Poole "But thoughts of it got me through."

Quote from Babylon 5

"You are touched by a darkness, Ambassador. I see it as a blemish that will grow over time. I could warn you of course but you would not listen. I could kill you but someone would take your place. So I do the only thing I can; I go." A techno-mage, as played by Michael Ansara. Who as history and fate would have it, played Kang on Star Trek and was once married to Barbara Eden. I mean, how lucky can a man get - to be married to Barbara Eden.

Anyway, I liked this quote, and not to get on a soap box, but it just reminds me of politics and corrupt government today. I mean, I think every single one of the presidential choices are just choosing between bad choices. I think there may be one, possibly two at the stretch, who truly believe they could "do good" for the country. But I don't think they're even going to be good at doing good. While the rest just really want the brass ring for the sake of the hoopla and the power, even the one (possibly two) that may actually want to do good in the country. . . won't.

And how the 'ell do you come into a situation like they will - stuck in a damned war and no good way out or to win.

So anyway, for some reason, that quote, said to Londo, who is already touched by Morden and the shadows, struck me as similar to the political situation. They're all just touched by darkness and even if they went away, someone would take their place.

another Boston Legal quote

If you ever do anything to hurt Denny or this firm, I will see to it that you are hunted down legally and literally until you are penniles and left to troll airport bars looking for drunken pilots nearing retirement age. - Shirley Schmidt to character played by Joanna Cassiday.

Quote

from a newspaper clipping, yellow and worn, on my fridge:

"The modern experience of coming out of the closet has been funneled down to a prescribed set of rituals involving a blase soundtrack of disco anthems (gay and straight Americans alike now grow up knowing how to dance to "YMCA"), a few white tank-top T-shirts, some boots, some unhappy Thanksgiving dinners with the family, a regrettable tattoo, some poetry scribbled in journals. The majority of gay people do not get pummeled or fired or expelled; they emerge a wee bit neurotic and immediately set about shopping." - Washington Post reporter Hank Stuever, April 27.

Quotes

On last night's episode of the new show "State of Mind", the guest starring mother had a wonderful quote.

"Of course I believe in marriage, whatever that means. I also believe in good posture, but not everybody has it."

The mother later said, in reference to the now-separated-husband not being all he was supposed to be, and life in general about not getting what you want,

"You can't get pizza in a Chinese restaurant."

About a week ago on The Closer, an elderly lady was putting her home on the market, just to meet people and have visitors. She said something like,

"I tried joining AA, but they want you to give up drinking, and that seemed a little extreme."

Quote

"I was conceived on New Year's Eve, 1960, before cigarettes and scotch were replaced by Lamaze and sonograms. Parties are in my genetic makeup. I have a photograph of my mother, six months pregnant with me, at a Fourth of July cocktail party, a double scotch on the rocks in one hand, a Benson & Hedges 100 in the other, leaning back in a chair, midlaugh, a good time being had by all. I have always loved a party; I was born into it." - Robert St. John, "Deep South Parties"

I just love that paragraph, and so far I am really enjoying reading this cook book.
