I’m up. But I don’t want to be. Yesterday was the longest day… I was up at 4am EST in order to catch at 6:45am flight out of NYC so I could be back in Los Angeles in time for a doctor’s appointment.

Surprise: I actually made it back in time. No flight delays, no oversleeping, no deliberate delays of my flight. So I actually went to the doctor since I was back in time.

Why exactly would I schedule my life around a doctor’s appointment? Well, it’s rather hard to get an appointment with him. And I’ve had a bit of a stomach problem lately, so I wanted to see him as stomach problems = yuck yuck yuck.

So after my doctor’s appointment, having nothing to do since the store wasn’t open yet, but being wide awake, I snuck home and started watching my Tivo. It’s premier week and I didn’t want to miss anything, and I suppose I’ll tell you now, I’m a self proclaimed TV Junkie.

So the only premier that had been recorded at that point was COLD CASE. Very intense. I’m a big COLD CASE fan, but it’s one of those shows that falls into the category “watch when you have nothing else to watch and don’t want to do anything.” That category means: it’s 8 o’clock in the morning and I don’t feel like getting out of bed and I watch CNN 24 hours a day and I’ve already heard their round of news for the morning so I need something to watch and COLD CASE was recorded last night while something else was simultaneously being recorded that I was watching so I’ll watch it now.

WITHOUT A TRACE also falls into that category. Mainly because it’s on all the time.

After spending the day at the store I had to do the usual: stop by The Coffee Bean for a medium vanilla latte with an extra shot (that’s a triple), quickly get my hair washed (I don’t like to wash my hair at home), and run into the grocery store to buy several rotisserie chickens for the dogs (I don’t feed them dog food).

Then I settled in for a night of season premiers: DANCING WITH THE STARS - okay it’s my first season with the show and I’m giving it a chance. Being an AMERICAN IDOL FAN, and LOVING SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, I figure I might like STARS. It was enjoyable. Can’t say I’m thoroughly drawn in. I need to give it another couple episodes to see.

Next it was the season premiere of THE BACHELOR. Okay, it never gets good until episode four or five. I fast forwarded through most of the episode because it was just meeting all of the girls. It’s so boring watching each one getting out of the car and just saying hello.

Finally came HEROES, the show I’d been waiting all summer to see. It was a set up show. I get that. The show is so complex that they had to explain it for any first time viewers and go back over everything for anyone who might have forgotten. So it wasn’t THE most exciting first episode of the season. But it wasn’t bad.

That means I got to bed around 11pm PST. So that made it, what, a 22 hour day? That’s a long day.

And now I’m up again at 8am. I’d like to be sleeping. But I’m on New York time. Curses.
