Weights, Books & Television
Friday's here!
Unfortunately I totally fucked myself for the entire weekend. I worked out my legs on Wednesday and now they're shot to hell. Going up and down the stairs is like pulling teeth. If there was ever a reason to never work out legs again, this would be it.

I'd like to thank my friend Kevin for rekindling my love affair with the public library. He has inspired me to start taking advantage of the library again, although I will always prefer owning books to borrowing them. He also gave me a tip which makes borrowing even better: the NYPL has an online catalog and reservation system! SWEET! I tried to reserve The Time Traveler's Wife but there were literally hundreds of holds for it. I guess I'll have to wait til the movie is done showing in theatres before I'm able to borrow it, but I remember being intrigued with this book when I first found out they were turning it into a movie. I currently have on hold: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan and The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul.

The two tv shows I'm currently watching are Dr. Who and Freaks and Geeks. I have no qualms about venturing into scifi territory, but Dr. Who is pretty out there. I was a wee bit turned off with the first two episodes because of how extremely geeky/cheesy/nerdy it was, but it's actually not that bad. It's decent enough to want to make me finish the first season.
I picked up Freaks and Geeks because I've always heard rave reviews about it. It's one of those tv shows that got prematurely canceled and taken off the air after only one season, but developed a cult following. I had no idea so many stars were in it. Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jason Segel are all in it! So far I'm really liking the show. Some of the dialog is hilarious.
Sam Weir: We’re not adults. We’re kids until we turn 18.
Neal Schweiber: Maybe you are, but when I hit 13, I became a man.
Bill Haverchuck: That’s only in your temple, Neil, not in the real world.
That had me cracking . . . although I realize it's a lot less funny reading it on a screen.
