What's Ryan Been Up to??

Okay, Okay. It's been months since I've posted. You're outraged. I understand. I will try my best to keep up with posting more often, but in the meantime, here's what I've been up to:

- What my thoughts are on TV this fall (NEW SHOWS):
The Nine- cooler in concept than it is in execution. They're going WAY too slowly explaining what happened in the bank... I'm still watching, but they're going to have to do something to keep it that way.
Six Degrees. Jess and I gave it a chance under our "two time" rule, but ultimately, just not worth my time.
Brothers and Sisters. I like it. I don't love it, but I like it. I could do with a little more of the hot army brother and a little less bickering between Sally Field and Ally McBeal, but not bad.
Studio 60. Overall, OK, but I conceed that the writing is a little esoteric and at times, a little heavy-handed. That being said, I would probably watch anything written by Aaron Sorkin loyally.

- What my thoughts are on TV this fall (OLD SHOWS):
Lost. Are ya kidding me? Talk about not advancing the plot!! Whole lotta nothin' as far as I'm concerned. I think I'm glad about the hiatus.
Gilmore Girls. Love that Lorelei and Christopher are together. He seems to be the only guy who can really roll with her punches. Thumbs up.
Grey's Anatomy. How glad I am that the last couple of episodes haven't centered around their usual "Everyone loves Meredith and Izzy killed that guy she said she loved but she only knew for like five minutes" plot-lines.

- What I'm sad about: MSU firing John L. Smith, the separation of one of my favorite celebrity couples: Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, Bob Barker retiring (who else is going to remind everyone to spay or neuter their pets?!) , and still a little about the Tigers not winning the World Series. I guess there's always next year!

- Where I've been: Cleveland for Jen's wedding (which was a BLAST, even though I did start to feel like a celeb on the red carpet with all the pictures), Windsor (was detained by the US Customs and Border Protection office, along with my family because, you know, we really look like terrorists) & good old home.

My fun new office gadget: The Senseo coffee maker. This baby makes coffee in under 30 seconds, and even our assistant can work it!! Plus, they have different types of coffee "pods" so you can make all different kinds of coffee. Way cool.

Not going to mention sports for a little while...
