The Suburbs

The title of this blog reflects the CD I am listening too right now (or at least when I drive around in my car). It's the new one from the Arcade Fire. I'm enjoying it. It's one of those CDs that sounds mellow but it subversive. My favorite kind. It also gets better the longer you listen to it. And it has 16 tracks which means that you're really getting your monies worth out of it. I always feel like explaining the titles of my posts. Don't know why.

Things I've been contemplating lately:

• Going to San Diego Comic Con next year. I do believe me and some friends from work are planning to road trip down there so we can see all of our most favorite stars. Or at least y'know, some attractive actors.
• Hawaii at the end of February/beginning of March. I am very excited to go. I haven't been on a plane in a really long time, much less been anywhere out of the state. Basically I haven't been anywhere out of the state since 2008, which was the last time I went to California. And that wasn't super fun. Interesting and educational yes, fun, not so much. So I'm really looking forward to a fun trip.
• I started my meeting with Northstar this past week and we do a bunch of stuff tomorrow and then I start on the diet that we conclude is best for me and hopefully my weight loss gets a big boost. Not that I've done badly over the summer, having dropped nearly 20lbs in 3 months, but it'll be nice to have some accountability and I think it will keep me much more motivated. (Goal weight is 250lbs by Hawaii and 225lbs by comic con! Totally doable in my mind.)

That's about all I can think of to write about at this point. I've been writing quite a bit lately, though I don't know if I want to say that because when I do my writing seems to dry up for a little while. But we'll see if it does. I hope not. I've also been watching a lot of Criminal Minds. Great show that one. I do enjoy all of the actors and I am really sad that they cut JJ's character entirely out of the season that starts soon and that Prentiss (the only other female agent) is only contracted for half of the episodes. That leaves Garcia as the only full time female cast member, and while I love Garcia, don't get me wrong, I feel kind of gipped out of female FBI role models. Now all we're left with is freakin' Covert Affairs and a rogue Nikita. Come on guys. Give me a break. Super lame.

I am ridiculously excited for TV to start up again however. I love my non-reality tv shows with something that borders on really obsessed. I don't watch reality tv because if I'm going to devote an hour to a show I want to lost myself in not reality. Not watch a bunch of rich, spoiled people argue with each other. That makes me crazy. I want to watch Chuck, or Psych, or y'know anything else that's not reality Tv (except maybe project runway...Tim Gunn is awesome after all).

So until I desire to rant on and on again interwebs. Have a nice day
