I had a Grey's Anatomy Marathon last weekend and watched it all day Saturday in preparation for tomorrow's season premiere. I'm excited because TV is back again. It's not that I watch a lot of TV. I just watch a few shows. But I love Tivo and the fact that I can watch it anytime I want to is very appealing to me and I like the fact that I can pick and choose instead of flipping through the channels to see what is on at that moment in time. I love technology. Also back is The Office. I'm such a sucker for the Tim and Pam story on there. I know that they cannot get together and live happily ever after because it is, in fact a sitcom. So I am just along for the ride. I am liking the new show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip even though I've only seen the pilot. It is VERY Aaron Sorkin and has a lot of elements of his old show, Sports Night, which I loved when it was on syndication. I am staying tuned for it every week and plus, there's nothing else on Monday nights anyway. I say give it a chance if you haven't already.

I saw The Last Kiss again on Friday night and it is better the second time around. Not to say that it wasn't good the first time, but I was able to observe more this time. It's such a great film and Zach Braff is fantastic! Last night, the lovely Alexis and I caught an early screening of A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints. It was so intense and abstract and raw. It was so good in a painful way. I've been looking forward to it since it screened at Sundance and got a huge buzz. The cast is spectacular and Robert Downey Jr. is so intense and pensive in it. The violence scared me even though I knew a lot of it was coming. It's a great story and definitely worth watching. It should be in NY and LA next weekend and hopefully it will get a wider release a few weeks later. Please look out for it!

Not much to report here except for my most exciting news in a long long time - I'm finally going to get a new car!! Hooray!! It's taken me so long, but I am picking it up on Sunday and pictures will be posted very soon. I don't think I have ever driven a brand new car before so this will be all new to me. I can't wait!! That's about all that is going on right now. Sorry I don't have much to report.

PS - I love you M. Be strong because I know that you are stronger than you think.
