FB4: Week 43

Yet another disappointing week, as I fell below goal for the fourth consecutive week and managed to put up my lowest weekly total of the year.  Sunday was a bad start to the week, as I managed to finish just shy of 3000 steps.  Monday was a nice bounce back, coming in just over 7000 steps, thanks to a trip in to the city for games and lunch.  Tuesday improved on that, with over 7700 steps, thanks to breakfast with Michael and a car wash, amongst other chores.  Wednesday was the high point of the week, and seemed to put me back on track, when a walk to the neighborhood Chase got me up over 10,000 steps.  Thursday, being Thanksgiving and all, is when things really fell apart, as I managed just over 2100 steps.  Friday was technically better, but still but only by 100 steps or so.  Saturday saw an increase, up to 4400 steps, but not enough to salvage the week.

Total steps: 36,438

Daily average: 5205.4

Midseason Review – Mondays

As we start to gear up for midseason premieres and February sweeps, let’s take a look back at what I said and thought back in September.

How I Met Your Mother – It looks like we (and Ted) are finally going to meet the long-teased titular mother this season, which could be just what the show needs.  It started to drag a bit last season, but the premiere seemed like they were back to form.  At its worst, it is worth watching for Jason Segel and Neil Patrick Harris, who always bring their A-game.

Well, despite a tease here and there, we aren’t really any closer to meeting the titular mother.  But, the season has been good so far, and the last new episode had Jason Segal show just how much range he actually has.

Chuck – The spy comedy enters its fourth season with a new season, a new Buy More, and, finally, Chuck and Sarah together for reals.  One of the better shows on TV at bringing out nerd-culture without talking down to it. 

The introduction of Chuck’s mother has been a godsend for the show, if only for the occasional guest spot from the surprisingly funny Timothy Dalton.  Beyond that, the show has been up to its usual snuff.

2010 New Fall Season – Mondays

To start off, I realize I watch way too much TV.  2 HD DVRs and no social life help this out considerably.

House – At this point, the case of the week is nowhere near as important as the characters, and this year House and Cuddy are together and 13 disappears for awhile.  It will be interesting to see how long they can keep House and Cuddy together without toning down their workplace dynamic.  On the plus side, Amber Tamblyn joins the cast while 13 is off shooting a movie.
