Hi and it's Thursday, LOST ... you know ... awesome show

Not much to report today. Back to work as today is my Monday. I got Jon's drunky bloggy done, so I can check that off the To-do list. Woot woot. I got some errands run this weekend. I got some new clothes, a new suit. I took my nephew to the park again on Wednesday, and I'll be taking him again tomorrow. Really ... my life is exactly this boring. I have to go to a mandatory Violence in the Workplace seminar. The fun here never ends.

The shows that I have recording tonight are, Boston Legal, Criminal Minds, Back to You, and 'Til Death. Monday night I watched HIMYM, 2.5 Men, Rules of Engagement, CSI: Miami and The Big Bang Theory. Tuesday night was NCIS, Reaper and Women's Murder Club. It's a shame that WMC isn't being renewed, that show was finally getting some meat on it's bones. Reaper is getting renewed and will premier later in the fall as a mid-season replacement, which if you ask me is pretty stupid. I'm looking forward to Thursday night TV as Thurs and Fri are my two big TV nights. Thursday: Ugly Betty, Grey's Anat, Lost, Smallville, Supernatural. Friday: Ghost Whisperer, Moonlight, Numb3rs, Sarah Jane Adventures, Dr. Who, and BSG. I really miss having Thursday and Friday nights off.

Anywho ... there's the low-down on my TV Showdown:

TV Bigshot

And that's all folks.

I'm loaded and that's all ...

Hullo everyone, It's FRIDAY. And happy Friday to those who have the weekend off. I do not. I work Wednesday through Sunday, so two more days for me until my 'weekend'.

I haven't been doing too much lately. I've been working out every morning for twenty-thirty minutes. I've been keeping up with my house-cleaning, so as not to have to utilize an entire 10 days again to get it back up to par.

Today, I went to Target, because there were a few things I needed to pick-up. I got myself a new vacuum today (I'd been borrowing my mother's as my old one went KAPUT). I really like it, and I hope it lasts. I do like the bagless vacs these days.

I also picked up one of those triple laundry sorter dealies. I don't know how to explain it. I'll see if I can find a picture and link it.

Ah ^ ^ ^ there's the link for ya.

Before shopping, I went to my mother's house and hung out with my nephew for a while, it helps my mother out a lot when I can come over and distract him a bit. His baby sister is a bit of a crier. She seems to have some abandonment issues. I keep telling my mother that she has to let her lay there and cry or the baby will never get over that and will always be a needy little thing.

This weekend, (Monday or Tuesday) I'm planning on getting out on my bike. It's been really nice out lately ... with temps between 60 and 80 degrees. Perfect cycling weather.

Last night's LOST was amazing and next weeks looks to be even better. Thursday and Friday nights are my big TV nights. On Thursdays I record Smallville, Supernatural, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, and LOST. Then on Friday nights I record Ghost Whisperer, Moonlight (one of my new faves), Numbers, Dr. Who, and The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Last night I watched LOST, and as I said it was amazing. I also watched Grey's Anatomy, I like the way they're going back to their earlier, more lighthearted concept. I thought it was hilarious the way Bailey put Sloan right into his place. Today ... I watched Ugly Betty, which was really terrific, with the birth of the baby, and of course the ultimate death of Betty's relationship with Henry :cryI love Christopher Gorham). I've only watched half of Smallville and still have to watch Supernatural. I'll comment on those later.

Tonight, as I've said again, I'm watching GW, Moonlight, Numbers, DW, and TSJA. I probably won't get all of them watched tonight either, but will probably carry them over through the weekend. More comments on those tomorrow.

Tomorrow night, Robin Hood is on, I'm really happy that they renewed this adventurous show. This year seems to be shaping up to be even better than last.

I suppose that's all the news. I hope ya'll have a terrific weekend. Don't forget to welcome Sparkle back from her quick ChiTown weekend trip come Monday.

Bright Blessings

Just in case you need a laugh: Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix one.

Reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in our jobs. After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," this tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded

(marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.

FYI. Qantas is the only major airline that has never, ever had a major accident.
