Wow! Look at these cobwebs!

I've been away from/avoiding this blog for a couple weeks now. Sorry, but the holidays, family, work, and apathy have been keeping me away. I suppose part of my lack of inspiration has been the fact that I can't write about too much going on in my life for fear of this place being found. Also, there's the fact that not much has been happening. Events have transpired, though, so here's a short recap:

- Despite my best (to date) efforts, my wife once again out-gifted me this Christmas, giving me two shows on DVD (Arrested Development, all 3 seasons and Veronica Mars, seasons 1 & 2) and a season ski pass, among other things I'm forgetting right now.

- We joined a gym! It wasn't a New Years resolution, it just happened to coincide with the new year. We actually bought a pre-paid, three year membership with personal training sessions. We're going to be serious about fitness and getting hot. So far so good, although we're a bit sore. I thought about doing a "Gym Douche of the Week" feature on the blog, but so far I've only seen two semi-ridiculous people. They weren't very offensive or funny, so I'm not sure how that's going to work out. Heh heh. Get it? "Work out"?

- As I am wont to do after birthdays and Christmas, I buy stuff I really want that is too hard for people to know I want. Here's what I got:

• The new Foo Fighters live CD
  
• The new Tanya Donelly "live" CD
  
• 2 CDs by Heavy Vegetable
  
• 3 CDs by Thingy
  
• 1 CD by The Ladies
  
• 1 CD by Pond
  
• 1 CD by Band of Horses
  
• Paul Simon's "Rhythm of the Saints" album, from iTunes
  
• "The Fear You Won't Fall" by Joshua Radin, from iTunes
  
• "Angels of the Silences" by Counting Crows, from iTunes
  
• 15 non-live, non-album tracks from "Message in a Box", The Police Box Set, from iTunes
  
• A 2007 Boston Bruins wall calendar
  
• A 2007 VH1 Pop Fact of the Day desk calendar, which is pathetically inadequate compared to last year's Entertainment Weekly Great American Pop Culture Quiz desk calendar
  
• 2 new Doonesbury books (one was a sneaky gift from another blogger)
  
• Volume #11 of Robert Jordan's interminable fantasy series "The Wheel of Time"
  
• An out-of-print book from my childhood that takes place in my hometown (!!!)

I think that's it. Good stuff.

- I hope to be posting semi-regularly again. Although about what, I'm not sure. Maybe TV stuff. Last night's episode of 'The Office' was great. It was really funny without being too much. But the end was the best because I actually wanted to shout at the screen out of frustration. So as not to spoil it for anyone, I won't get into details. It was a good frustration because you realize how much you care about what's happening, and how you hope for a resolution soon.

- When I started this blog I mentioned that I may get a bit racy from time to time. So far I haven't followed through on that. But hopefully I'll have something to post along those lines soon. In the meantime, here's a racy picture of hot, though something's a little weird about her, Sofia Vergara from the new 'Knights of Prosperity' show, which is pretty funny. Not "making up for the fact that I can't watch '30 Rock' anymore" funny, but pretty good.



UPDATE: I just found something both racy AND hilarious! Check out Star Wars porn! Lucas just can't stop tinkering with these films, can he?
