I feel better now.

Today when I got home from work I was going to watch the season premiere of "Dollhouse". I sat down in front of the TV, pressed "play" and all I got was a bunch of black. I forgot to set the timer on the cable box so it didn't turn on and while the dvr recorded, all that happened was well nothing. So I decided to go downstairs to see if I could watch it online. Couldn't find it. Eventually I happened upon a site that explained everything to me. The premiere is not until next week. While I feel like a complete idiot, at least I didn't actually miss the episode. So today's favourite thing is not missing something I thought I missed.

"I guess I didn't learn anything"

So this week seems to be the week where most of fall TV returns. Yesterday was "Bones", tonight was "The Office", tomorrow is "Dollhouse". I have to wait until Monday for three of my shows but this was a pretty good start. I have enjoyed the new episodes so far. We'll see if they keep up at this rate. The return of regularly schedule programming has dulled my pain at the loss of "True Blood" for basically another year. Some of the shows I am watching returned or began earlier than this week so that's why they weren't mentioned. So today's favourite things is the beginning of a new season on my favourite shows.

Fencing and getting back to business....

Hi there folks. It's been a while. There really is no excuse for me not updating for like five weeks but I am working on catching up, hopefully I will be fully caught up in the next couple weeks. I may update seemingly randomly but that is because I have notes for some days and not others and it's been five freaking weeks. From here on out I am hoping to update daily, not only the post for the day, but also three or four posts from weeks ago. I am determined to see this through.

So today, Colette and I went to a fencing class. The first class of the session is free, so what could it hurt? The answer is my right thigh. At the beginning of class, we did a bunch of laps (not a fan but not a huge deal). We then learned the proper stance, how to move forward and backward, and how to lunge. Not the most natural positions or movements for my body but it wasn't too bad. I believe the lunges were the culprit when it came to my thigh. We then got the equipment and proceded to poke each other for half an hour to 45 minutes. Literally. I would poke Colette, then she would poke me, etc, etc, ad infinitum. Then we used the forward/backward movements to poke each other. And then we lunged. It got pretty repetitive and Colette got annoyed that I kept poking her in the same spot. Eventually, we learned how to block the attacks. At the end of the class, we began sparring which was officially the best part. So today's favourite thing was sparring in fencing class. While the sparring was cool, I don't think I will sign up for the session - too repetitive and it was hard on my body.
