I was going to go to the Y

I was going to go to the Y, but it's ridiculously cold outside and I was tired... These both looked fun instead.

First, from Monday's a B!tch:
1. What's the temperature like outside right now?
Ugh, it's uber cold. Oh my gosh. It's so cold Kare11's site says "NA* F". It's too cold to be measured in numbers.
2. What's your ideal kind of weather?
I like in the 50's or 60's and sunny. So I can wear pants and long sleeve shirt and not break a sweat but not be cold either.
3. Do you prefer living in a climate with lots of seasonal change, or do you prefer it to stay close to the same every day?
I like some change. Really even in places where the temps don't change, seasons do.
4. How hard does it have to be raining for you to pull out an umbrella?
Fairly hard, depending on what I'm doing, what I'm wearing and what shoes I have.
5. What's the worst storm you've ever experienced? Is the weather where you live ever potentially dangerous?
The worst one in my mind was the time I was driving on the Pennsylvania turnpike (don't recommend it, by the way) and it dropped a foot of rain in an hour. There is potentially dangerous cold in the winter and potentially dangerous tornadoes at other times here.

From The Sunday 7:
Name your top seven favorite individual episodes of any single television series. If you feel especially enterprising, give a few lines explaining why you think makes your chosen episodes so good.

From Sports Night, "The Cut Man Cometh" a hilarious look at what a sports show does when "the big fight" lasts 3 seconds and they need to fill 2 hours.

From The West Wing: "In Exelcis Deo", the Christmas episode from the first season which is touching. "Shibboleth" a Thanksgiving episode with a great message about how we treat people and a hysterical anecdote about the pardoning of a turkey.

From NYPD Blue: "Honeymoon at Viagra Falls" which has many happy endings in it.

From Friends: "The One Where Ross and Rachel... You Know" is classic, partly because it's Ross and Rachel and partly because Tom Selleck's character is introduced in that episode and I loved the whole "Monica and Richard" thing too, although I'm happy she wound up with Chandler.

From Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip: I have a 3-way tie between "The Christmas Episode" with the best line ever, "I understand if you want to run, but you better get a good head start because I'm coming for you" and Corinne Bailey Rae, and "The Long Lead Story" with a fantastic performance from Sting, and "The Pilot" because Aaron Sorkin does some of his best writing for pilot episodes. (I hold up The West Wing and Sports Night as examples.)

This was a fun one.
