I have a horrible habit of remembering bits and pieces of all sorts of random stuff- this includes faces. I may not remember your name or where I saw you but I’ll never forget a face. Last night on Heroes they did a preview for episode 10- they had a 1 second flash of a minor character’s face that I recognized: and I spent an hour last night trying to remember wtf he was from- unfortunately nbc didn’t have the promo clip up yet so I didn’t have the screenshot in hand.

So since I’ve been laid off, I’ve been watching a lot of TV in the background while keeping busy… seasons 2 and 3 of Deadwood, 4 and 5 of the Dead Zone, all of Invader Zim, Bones, Heroes, Grey’s Anatomy, Angel, Battlestar Galactica, My Name is Earl, Lost, etc. That’s a Lot of TV. Of the shows that I’m going to keep track of this season, Lost, My Name is Earl, BSG, Bones, Grey’s Anatomy, and maybe 24 are on the list.

Hrm… I think I’ll try something new this year. As some of you know, 12/31 is my birthday, and I’m 26 now. That makes it twice as good to look back on my life and reflect. So what’s changed? Quite a bit. I always had a goal growing up, that when I was 25, it would be the one of the best years of my life. Looking back, I think that it very well could be.

So I caught an episode of “My Name is Earl” the other day, starring Jason Lee, of Mallrats and Dogma fame. He plays a grungy scum of the earth type that has an epiphany that every time he does something bad to someone, something bad happens to him. He decides to make a list of the things he’s done bad, and right the wrongs. I saw the second episode of the series, where his friends convinced him to apologize to a friend of his who went to prison for a crime earl comitted.
