Autumn is my favorite season. Too bad it only lasts for about three weeks. It's raining pretty hard today, which makes me sad. While I love summer thunderstorms, rain in October just means the pretty leaves get knocked off the trees. And I have a yard this year, so I have to rake.

I signed up for NaNo again this year (my username is D. Coyle if anyone wants to buddy me, I'm not sure if anyone else is participating). I made a good dent in the word count last year, but got disillusioned pretty early on. There were plenty of things to distract me. I hope to rap up Karei Naru Spy and Return of Iljimae this weekend so I won't have any desire to sneak peeks at them instead of writing. The only other two dramas I'm watching are You're Beautiful and Smile, You. That's roughly four hours a week I'll give to drama watching. I may put a pause on my normal tv viewing. I haven't been that enamored of Glee recently, so I'm not that concerned. I can always play catch up with FlashForward and Vampire Diaries in December when nothing is on tv anyway.

OH! I watched the pilot for the new USA show White Collar and it was pretty entertaining. I'm not ready to write it off as fantastic yet, because it was a little uneven, but it has the capacity to be a solid hour of entertainment. At some point I need to sit down and watch all the episodes of Psych. Sometimes I'll randomly watch it if I see it on, but that's it. Anyway, if you like Psych you should probably check out White Collar. Plus, it has Matthew Bomer who is so incredibly pretty (I'm such a sucker for blue eyes and dark hair) and dresses like a Rat Packer.

So, I kept ignoring the emails from Geocities about how they were shutting down. I kept saying I'd get around to moving my stuff (I hosted my lj css file over there) but I never did. So now I have some default layout up while I shop around for something I like. So many layout are so ugly...

I have to agree with you about the 3-week autumn assessment. I'm down on the Fall mostly because half of it is so dreary where we grew up (and I almost always get a cold the minute we have our first freeze). But it is so pretty when the leaves are all turning and falling and the weather isn't so harsh.

Man, I haven’t been into any good dramas for awhile now. I just haven’t seen any that jumped out at me as all that interesting since Tanma. Then again, we were both on a pretty big roll for awhile there in the summer. Good that American TV is getting awesome again, though. I saw White Collar too and I completely agree. It could be really awesome but it hasn’t flushed itself out fully; it feels wobbly and unstable. I hope they can cuz I like the concept and enjoyed the pilot.

And yes: you need to see all of Psych! It’s hilarious stuff!

Did you finish Tamra? What did you think?

You should give You're Beautiful a try. It's pretty darn fun.
