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....

hello friend.

tell me you've seen Top Chef? season 3 just wrapped up last week. i highly recommend it, which is big because i HATE reality television.

i heard the new jimmy sucks. i expect a review soon.

the office has been a C+ for me thus far...thoughts?

kelly and i real LOTR aloud during the holidays (we're going to start early this year).

goodbye.

oh yes i was really into top chef; i liked casey a lot but knew she wouldn't win.

jimmy review pending...

i still love office of course especially with jim and pam together finally (who knows for how long...) but i think the hour-longness of it doesn't help it that much. it's funnier when it's shorter.

you watching 30 rock?
