Television meme day 24

This television meme was snagged from autographedcat by way of serenejournal. The idea is to answer one question a day from the list below. (Yes, yes I'm way behind. Never mind the applicability of the day numbers. I'm just keeping the numbering because I'm anal that way. I'm slow at this but I'm still having fun answering them when I can, so moving right along :-) Today's is:

Day 24 - Best quote.

I have a fondness for the opening of The Outer Limits, "There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We can reduce the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits."

I also still like, "[War] is instinctive. But the instinct can be fought. We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands! But we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers ... but we're not going
to kill today. That's all it takes! Knowing that we're not going to kill today!"
-- Kirk, "A Taste of Armageddon"

But my favorite still has to be Star Trek's opening monologue, specifically The Next Generation version:

"Space, the final frontier....These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Her five year mission: to explore strange new worlds.To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no *one* has gone before."

Woke up this morning with cellulitis again. I got right on my antibiotics and I'm feeling better, but pretty exhausted. I was wondering why I was almost crying because I couldn't finish a quest in Asheron's Call. I tend to get emotional when I have cellulitis.

I got a notification from the county late last week that my attendant would be terminated unless she finished the IHSS Provider Enrollment. Which basically entails getting fingerprinted, background check, sitting through a training film (which had very little information about the actual job. But had lots of threats if one were to misrepresent hours worked.) And filling out a few forms. All of which had been done last year, but the notification may sound like to clear this up before the end of the month or my checks would discontinue. Calling IHSS was an adventure in itself. Talk about voicemail hell I've never worked so hard to make a phone call before. Anyway, turns out that we were fine, but the county had sent this threatening letter to everyone who received IHSS Whether or Not They Already Completed Provider Enrollment. Ain't that special?

Friends are coming over today I will probably watch them all help Carol pack up Betty's place in preparation for installing a new floor. I'm actually looking forward to a low key day with not demanding company. I hope you all have had a good holiday.

Television meme day 25

Day 25 - A show you plan on watching (old or new).

I've taken so long finishing this meme, that I've had several answers to this one. I guess most recently I'm going to try to catch The Cape when it starts. With some trepidation, I'm looking forward to the american version of Being Human. Loved the original, but we'll see. I recently found out that SGU got canceled. I have terrible luck with the SyFy channel shows. I was enjoying Caprica but it's gone. Then there's the The Dresden Files and Farscape that I liked a lot, but were cancelled.

Some non-SyFy I really enjoyed but are now gone. Persons Unknown, was great but it was apparently only planned as a miniseries and then there was Flash Forward. I can't think of anything else I'm particularly interested in following right now. Oh, I think Haven is pretty good.
