Summers are made up of good friends, good food, and warm late nights.

The easiest way to break this down is by night. I don’t always watch the shows on the nights that they air, many times I will watch them online the next day, but this just seemed like the easiest way to organize it.

Mondays: I usually try and catch Gossip Girl at it’s regular time. The other two shows I watch online.

• How I Met Your Mother (CBS) – I’ve loved this show since season 1, I hope this season is just as good.
• Weeds (Showtime) – This season is already a few episodes under way and I’m not sure how I feel about it so far, but I’m still watching.
• Gossip Girl (CW) – I don’t care what anyone says, I love this show!

Tuesdays: If I’m home I like to watch Glee live with my family.

• GLEE! (FOX) – It’s all about Glee on Tuesdays. I’m so excited for the new season.

Wednesdays: Top Chef I try and watch at its scheduled time, Modern Family and Cougar Town are on Hulu so I usually watch them there.

• Modern Family (ABC) – This was the comedy hit of last season and I think they will continue to deliver this season.
• Cougar Town (ABC) – Not to many people liked this show last season but I thought it was really funny. I’m glad Courtney Cox is back on TV.
• Top Chef: Just Desserts (Bravo) – I’m a huge fan of Top Chef, so I’m excited to see what they do with this new spin-off.

Thursdays: This is a big night for me. There are lots of shows on and a few of them are new this season so I’m not sure if I will stick with them all.

• The Big Bang Theory (CBS) – I love this show so much. It was the first time I saw twitter referenced in pop culture and I love all the geeky references. It’s on a new night this season so I hope it does well in it’s new time slot.
• $#*! My Dad Says (CBS) – I’m not sure how good this will be, but I’m excited to see how it turns out. It will be interesting to watch the first sitcom based on a twitter account.
• My Generation (ABC) – Another pilot that I’m interested in checking out. The show is a mocumentary concept, based on the class of 2000 ten years later. It looks interesting so I’m going to give it a shot.
• Greys Anatomy (ABC) – This is an old favorite. Not sure if it’s still must watch tv, so I catch it on Hulu.
• Private Practice (ABC) – Same goes for this one.

Fridays: I don’t normally watch TV on friday nights, but there is one pilot that I’m interested in.

• Blue Bloods (CBS) – This show looks interesting to me. I don’t normally love crime dramas but it has a family aspect that I find interesting.

So that’s my TV schedule for this season. I know it looks like a lot but it will get weeded down throughout the season and I’m sure new shows will get added as well. I’d love to know what you are excited to watch this season. Anything I should be watching that I don’t know about? Let me know in the comments.

So I’ve decided that I want to finish a documentary photo project I started a few years ago by getting the work gallery ready and putting on a gallery exhibition. It will take a lot of work so I will be starting a kickstarter project to help me fund it.

Please watch the video above for more details and I will keep you posted as the process goes on.

I took this photo a week and a half ago at Jones Beach just as we were getting ready to leave. The sun is low in the sky and if you look in the background you can see the moon starting to rise.

I had a great summer and I wish it wasn’t over but it is. Time to ring in the fall. Happy September everyone.

I took this picture outside of the Flushing Corona Park Aquatic Center this afternoon. I though it was funny because you need to show a lock and a cap before they let you in. I decided to start sharing more photos here on my blog since I’ve been taking a lot more now that I have the iPhone4.

I use the Camera+ app which just keeps getting better and better!

The video is embedded below. Please watch it and comment. I would love to continue the conversation that was started at #140conf.

For a good part of the beginning of the video, the camera guy didn’t realize I was on the panel, and I guess thought I was just the moderator. So he cut me out of the shot. But he figures it out half way through.

Jamie is inviting viewers to take a stand and change the way America eats, in our home kitchens, schools and workplaces with the thought-provoking new series, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, which has a special sneak preview SUNDAY, MARCH 21 10|9c on ABC, followed by a 2-hour premiere on FRIDAY MARCH 26 8|7c.

In the six-part series, Jamie heads to Huntington, West Virginia. Why? Well, Huntington has been called the unhealthiest city in America. Jamie wants to do something about that. Through his efforts in this one town, he hopes to start a chain reaction of positive change across the country.

So Jamie has started a petition to support the food revolution in this country. Please sign it, it will only take a minute of your time!

And we need to make a statement by supporting this show as well! So watch it on hulu, watch it on Fridays on ABC, send a message that you care about food, and DEMAND change!

So I thought I would make a video to show you what I make every morning.

How long have you been a Vegan?  And what turned you to choose that lifestyle?

So I thought I would tell you guys the story.

More details on the conditions mentioned in this video. (definitions from WebMD)

• Costochondritis is an inflammation of the junctions where the upper ribs join with the cartilage that holds them to the breastbone or sternum. The condition causes localized chest pain that you can reproduce by pushing on the cartilage in the front of your ribcage. Costochondritis is a relatively harmless condition and usually goes away without treatment. The cause is usually unknown.
• Fibromyalgia syndrome affects the muscles and soft tissue. Fibromyalgia symptoms include chronic pain in the muscles, fatigue, sleep problems, and painful tender points or trigger points at certain parts of the body. Fibromyalgia pain and other symptoms can be relieved through medications, lifestyle changes, stress management, and other fibromyalgia treatment.

Here is a video from almost a year ago when I first went raw.
