A few changes

1. Weather. The temperature seemed to drop about 20 degrees (F, the nerd side demanded specification) just like that. I have always loved the change in seasons, cold to hot or hot to cold. There's just something I like about change or a break from routine.

2. Hockey. Finally after three weeks off, we're back in the swing of things. My back still aches and my finger is still messed up, but I'll live. I do think, unfortunately, that these problems may persist into long term items I will have to address...

3. General mood. I think the time leading up to and during that last weekend in August was a killer, having to move, continue to put in a few extra hours, and use up all weekend time to see long lost friends all without any type of exercise. A whip-back-into-shape week last week has me feeling 10X better, physically and mentally. Yay.

4. Apartment. It seems so, so much bigger and better than my last place. It was amazing how long I stuck around in my misery in my last apartment, underneath two consecutive tenants that felt it was okay to pound on the ground above me everytime I literally made a peep. I know this wasn't my imagination as both tenants admitted to this after complaints, and it still kept up. I walked by my old apartment a few days ago and it was the loudest on the floor, with music blaring. I laughed to myself and could only imagine how much the upstairs jerks were irritated. It really was loud. Hah.

5. Football season. I just love watching football, NFL and Badgers.

6. TV. I don't really watch TV at my place as I don't subscribe to cable anymore... I just never used it enough at my place. I save it for the weekend and watch at friends' places. Anyways, new seasons of some of my favorite shows have come out or are about to... The Shield, Entourage, The Office, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Weeds. One drama and four comedies... I guess I like funny stuff...

7. New good Metallica out on Friday. Sorry, didn't care too much for St. Anger...

One thing that's irritating me right now is my inability to find some page-turning fiction that I like... I'm on my third book in a row that I can't read more than 20 pages into due to boredom. I guess I'm picky....
