i am finally almost complete with my project of catching up on seasons 1-3 of battlestar galactica. i have seven episodes on dvd to go before i can start watching the 6 episodes of season 4 that i have on my TiVo. as i near the end of this project, it’s time to start considering what the next show i should take on will be …

• Lost
• Doctor Who
• Veronica Mars
• Dexter
• Original Battlestar Galactica
• Flight of the Conchords

so many choices. my new rule, however, will be to ensure one of my three movies out from netflix is an actual movie and not a tv series.

i have returned from my trip to nyc, which turned out to be three insanely productive days. this upcoming week is upfronts week which is sure to keep things busy.

that’s all i’ve got. i’m too tired. off to read some.

we’re barely one week into the month of may and it’s already starting to look like it’s going to be a crazy month. last week was full of finishing off presentations and client meetings. i’m off to new york tomorrow morning for three days filled with meetings with mccann & client with a grand finale of a big presentation on wednesday before heading home that evening.

the week after that is the network upfronts which will make that week go by rather quickly.

that’s all i’ve got. i had more but i need to get some sleep so i’m well rested for the flight in the morning.

until later.

so i’m sitting there working on some random things and i suddenly come to this realization that i am sitting amidst a multi-taskers dream environment …

okay, now i really wasn’t pulling reports for work (it was just out for e-mail checking) but it adds to the nice effect.

so yeah, a site redesign is in the works. the hope is to make everything a bit more visual and turn this into more of a photo-oriented blog. here’s to hoping the next 3G iPhone sports a 5 megapixel camera. if not then i suppose i might have to buy a decent digital camera.

on to more exciting things … i totally kicked ass this sunday during softball. and by “kicked ass”, i really mean that i was able to hit the ball and still have it be fair. 3 hits. 2 runs. just so we’re all on the same page … these weren’t great hits, i won’t lie. one of them only went three or four feet (i kid you not). the thing that matters is that i actually hit them and the were all fair (something i couldn’t do during the two previous practices). i only struck out once and that was during the second game when i was called in to be someone’s substitute at the last minute. i’m chalking that screw up to not being in a softball-playing state of mind (yeah, i can come up with an excuse to justify pretty much everything i do). all in all, it was a rather good sunday morning of softball. we lost our first game, but only by one point which was rather great (they were a pretty good team). the only bad thing is that i’m beyond sore now. i could barely move today. my legs aren’t cooperating much. i can’t seem to lift them high enough to even set them on the coffee table. i knew i was out of shape, but i didn’t think i was this out of shape.

after much work i’ve finally figured out the best way to get the HD content off my tivo and cropped and adjusted to look normal in flash. yay for fancy macs being able to do everything so easily … the file is a bit large, i still need to work on adjusting some more settings to get it down a bit.

today was the first day of softball and whoa did i suck. i mean, wow. what an embarrassment i was. my glove is all stiff and i throw like a chimp. plus i can’t swing a bat and hit a ball to save my life. i left practice and all i had was a broken ego and a bruised hand:

besides the softball it was a rather enjoyable weekend. joe was in town and we went to see forgetting sarah marshall, which was pretty freaking awesome. yesterday we ran around town doing my errands, getting my glasses fixed, taking a trip to ikea, etc. good times overall.

more later.

hi.

hmmph, apparently i’m not the only one considering it …

Democrats Thinking the Unthinkable: Voting GOP (NPR)

it was super crazy at work this week but it’s almost over. yay for the weekend!

i don’t have much to say but i will say - 1. high definition is pretty much the best thing ever and 2. i had one of the best sandwiches i’ve ever had in my life today. it was ham and typically i don’t even like ham.

that is all. 

sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night and wander my apartment drinking orange juice and do some random thinking. i’ve been doing this a lot lately and have been coming up with funny things to write about so i jot them down so that i can remember when i wake up the next day. the only problem is that i totally can’t read the page of ideas that i wrote down. damn.

i have been trying to tidy up my office and i am starting to realize that maybe i shop online too much … this is just from this year so far and it doesn’t include a couple of bigger things that i had delivered at home. yay for not having to go to actual stores

i have a confession … i have a serious addiction to my TiVo, HDTV, and cable.

i subscribe to every channel my cable company offers except the international ones (who needs television in spanish?) which totals to 273 channels. because i have so many options i’ve discovered that my TiVo makes some amazing suggestions when it comes to movies, especially since i have all the premium movie channels and there are some great things on there.

although i only have 91 items saved on there right now, which is a lot less than i had imagined. the problem is that at least a quarter of those are movies that are two hours or longer. if i watch five hours of tv a day it will take me three weeks or more to get caught up and that doesn’t include any shows that would be recorded between now and then. i need to come up with a strategy to make a dent in this.

and now, the list …
