She's killing me

Have you ever heard a song for the first time and it stopped you dead in your tracks? It's so good that you stop doing whatever you're doing at the moment and just take it in? That happened to me today on a break at work with a new Carrie Underwood song called "I Know You Won't". Her albums out next week and Brandie and I can't wait to get our hands on it....but of course I caved and downloaded the whole thing last week when it leaked; i know i know...i'm still gonna buy it!

Anyhoo please take a moment to listen to this song. Even if you've never liked her before, just do it as a favor to me. Her voice is freaking amazing, hope it blows you away as much as it did me.

All I ever wanted comes right down to you

Monday night, tiring day of work, waiting for iTunes store to update so I can download the new Jimmy Eat World album that i preordered. Not a lot going on but very overwhelmed. No work tomorrow for me (at the moment the neighbor we share a wall with is either hanging up new artwork or hurting someone...) some easy errands, Bible study and that'll be my day.

The fall TV season is upon us and its great. The Office, Grey's, 30 Rock, they're all back and new shows Reaper, Aliens in America and Private Practice are keeping my DVR gluttonous. Non network shows are almost more my favorite though for two reasons 1. Since we have satellite, we're on East Coast time with cable channels which means they don't interfere with our network shows and 2. There are so many more of them that deliver in quality week after week. To name a few: LA Ink, Little People Big World (new season premiered tonight!) Jon & Kate Plus 8 (check it out on Discovery Health), Nigella Lawsons new show on Food Network, and the never disappointing Property Ladder.

Books! Currently reading Sean Astin's semi-biography/LOTR memoir; kinda wordy and tangenty but it's fine. Reading Narnia aloud with Bran, timely but very worth it (i want to do LOTR next).

Movies aren't doing anything for me at the moment. I'll see Darjeeling Limited and maybe Across the Universe.

We've been going to a new Bible Study group on Sunday mornings which also meets Tuesday nights and it's been a really good time. Sundays we've been studying Revelation and the guy who leads it and his wife really know their stuff. It's almost academic in nature while being completely spiritually relevant. A lot of stuff that doesn't get discussed in Sunday morning sermons. So we've been enjoying that and are looking forward to getting together tomorrow night.

oh yeah, and Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii (the whole reason I got on in the first place) just got delayed AGAIN to February 10th!! I guess i'll have something else besides Lost to look forward to in four months....
