If I were a TV character

The glorious invention that is the DVR has made it possible for me to watch way more TV than I used to. No longer do I have to miss good shows because they don't fit into my social calendar! (I guess this is both a blessing and a curse, as many a Sunday morning is spent lazily laying on the couch playing catch up.)

But anyway, I was asked the other day which TV character I'd want to be, and I couldn't decide. Too many to pick from! Which lead me to create the following list...

If I were a TV character, I would:

• Have the credit card limit of Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City
• Be dating Jim Halpert like Pam on The Office (but I'd have a better wardrobe, thanks to the above)
• Have the job of CJ Cregg on The West Wing
  
• Have a wholly inappropriate but very entertaining friend like Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother
• Be extremely witty (but much less depressing) as everyone on Grey's Anatomy
  
• Have parents like Eric and Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights
  
• Hang out with cute baby chimps like Eugene Cussons on Escape to Chimp Eden
• Have kids as funny as those adorable little Gosselins on Jon & Kate Plus 8

I know I'm forgetting some...

How about the rest of you? Who is/are your TV idol(s)?

Daily ponderings

From an ad on the side of a bus:
"Love is BORN. Everything else is learned."

From Eat, Pray, Love:
"We must get our hearts broken sometimes. This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something."

From Brian Solis' PR 2.0:
"(Perception is) not just about what you want me to think, it's about what I hear and in turn, share with others. You can help shape my perception and perhaps, even influence it, but my perception is defined by my experiences, beliefs, predispositions, and personal agenda. Tell me again why I should listen to you?"

It's aliiiiiive!!!

Wow. It's been a while, huh? Longer than I thought, in fact.

See, I have this really great (read: terrible) ability to push things to the back of my mind when I don't have the time or energy to think about them. What have I been doing these past couple months since the last time I posted, you ask? Eh, a little of this, a little of that. I really don't have an answer, but I felt really busy.

Anyway...water under the bridge. I'm back with a goal of posting at least twice a week (baby steps, people...). So for those of you who care (and who haven't given up on me completely), check back soon for more random thoughts, stories and musings from yours truly.
