Anyone reading probably already noticed, but ever since day 5 I've been blogging back at my personal site (link is above). Come say hi!

One of my most favorite reality shows starts tonight: The Amazing Race. If you've never watched it, be sure to tune in, to tivo, to whatever, because its worth the 40 minutes and change.
