oh man, that last episode of heroes was good. to all the skeptics who watched the first few and gave up, you totally made the wrong decision not to stick with this one, cause it’s the most fun serial on tv right now. it almost hurts me to think that i have to wait something like 8 weeks for the next episode.

luckily, in discussing this situation with dan, he made the generous if possibly dangerous suggestion that i borrow the first season of battlestar galactica, and i did. now my nerdiness shall know no bounds, though i hear from several of the respectable nerds in my life and online that i will certainly not regret it.

also, for those of you not on my netflix friends list (shame on you, come on, let’s be friends, use the email up top!), let me heartily recommend the documentary word play on will shortz and crossword puzzle making, playing, and championship competing. if you have any remote fondness for doing them yourself, or just for words and intelligent challenges in general, it’s a great and i think mostly overlooked little film. with some very casual and fascinating moments with the likes of jon stewart and bill clinton thrown in as well. check it out.

[addendum: i just realized i’ve started almost half the posts on the page right now with ‘oh man’. how embarrassing.

oh man, do i need to work on my writing.]
