while i am excited that winter is officially making its presence known, i am adjusting to just how cold the wind could be. as i was walking home from the train stop i thought my ears were going to fall off.  i suppose it’s time to bring out the winter hats. i brought out the scraves this week which made me remember how much i enjoy wearing them.

more to come soon …

tuesday evening was just amazing. what a great feeling to see obama elected. even more exciting is that joe’s vote helped make indiana a blue state.

i am amidst trying to get caught up on brothers & sisters. it’s hands down one of the best shows i had never seen. i can’t wait until i’m done with season one and can knock out season two and then finally get caught up with season three.

damn i forgot what i was going to write about. i’m sure i’ll remember eventually.

a funny text message to joe:

Guess how many things are wrong with this picture that I took on the train? Two! Somebody wearing Uggs and some guy with a bright blue little bag with some unknown character on it. Very odd.

my desk lamp broke so i improvised. i call it the ryan signal (very similar to the bat signal).

seriously?

now this is my idea of office supplies … 62 boxes of mike & ikes and red hot tamales

my oh my how september has just slipped away. with the onset of the 2008-2009 television season, i find myself with more television to watch than i can actually fathom. staying on top of everything is somewhat of a challenge. if it was just a bit colder outside then i would feel justified in sitting inside and watching television so much. on top of that i’ve been watching lost again so that i can get joe caught up on the show before the january season premiere. i feel like a freaking philanthropist sometimes. sharing the joy of lost, what a gift.

that is it for now. more to come soon.

so i’ve made a few minor tweaks to the layout that should make it a bit easier on the eyes. i added some spacking in and made the sidebars a bit larger. the biggest change is the most unnoticeable. the top banner image is no longer one single image but rather 4 individual images that are individually randomized. this presents two problems now. the first, it’s now possible for an image to be displayed multiple times in one page refresh. the second, the landscape portraits that are broken up into 4 separate panes don’t work as well anymore. i’m trying to think of an easy solve for this, but ones not coming to mind. i could go back to the old way of doing things but then it makes it much more difficult to rotate in new images, which i hope to rotate in 2-3 new images a week.

other than that i have just been spending the rest of my labor day weekend watching heroes. this is my next venture. hopefully i can catch up before the season premiere on 22 september. i’m just thinking outloud here but:

• 2 september (tues): return season 1 dvds 1-3
• 4 september (thurs): receive season 1 dvds 4-6
• 8 september (mon): return season 1 dvds 4-6
• 10 september (wed): receive season 1 dvd 7, season 2 dvds 1-2
• 11 september (thur): return season 1 dvd 7
• 13 september (sat): receive season 2 dvd 3
• 15 september (mon): return season 2 dvds 1-3
• 17 september (wed): receive season 2 dvd 4

voila. i’ll be all caught up by 22 september.

i’m making a list of other shows i can catch up on winter quickly approaches and i imagine i’ll be spending even more time indoors. up on my list include: doctor who, veronica mars, alf, the riches, mad men, damages.

back to watching heroes. until later. over.
