Let's ease back into this. It's New Year's and that means lists. So here are a few of mine. This way we'll keep the actual writing to a minimum, which is for the best, really.

Why, I thought, "TheRobRogers" has updated his blog; too good to be true?"
True.
Glad you're back.
Rob, its so nice to see you back. Aren't you excited, Psych starts up on the 9th? I can hardly contain myself. I really liked Ghost Town, we thought it was pretty whitty.
The wait has been well worth it. You're back with a vengeance. That is funny crap.
Happy New Year.
"working on my regular logs" LOL
I think I might have to copy and paste to my blog for my excuses for not blogging. They were a lot more creative than anything I could come up with.
It's a make-or-break year for 24 this year. I watched the pre-movie and it didn't light my fire. And then they showed a preview that gave away some major plot points. I was a little fired up.
It's good to have you back.
Hooray!! Mr. Rogers is back. Those are some good lists. I too chuckled at your "regular logs" comment.
And I hear ya on Heroes -- major suckitude. I thought Earl was good for one season, but stopped watching when they took Randy's character from lovably dumb to almost literally retarded.
