What else is better to do at 5 a.m. then to clean out my Season Pass Manger on my TiVO box.  It’s amazing how many shows have been cancelled that I have enjoyed throughout the years but have never removed from my Season Pass Manager:

Journeyman, NBC - Cancelled Fall 2007

Scrubs, NBC - Moved to ABC and will have to make change to Season Pass

Arrested Development, Fox - Cancelled Spring 2006

NASCAR Drivers 360, FX & FSN - Cancelled 2005

The O.C., Fox - Cancelled Spring 2007

That 70’s Show, Fox - Series Finished Spring 2006

Queer Eye, Bravo - Series Finished Spring 2008

Blue Collar TV, The WB & Comedy Central, Cancelled ????

Blow Out, Bravo - Cancelled ??? Last Episode 2006?

Out of Practice, CBS - Cancelled Spring 2006

Reunion, Fox - Cancelled Fall 2005… I’m still mad that they didn’t at least finish the series and show the viewers who was involved.

E-Ring, NBC - Cancelled Spring 2006

Adam Carolla Project, TLC - Ended Fall 2005

Roush Racing: Driver X, Discovery - Ended Fall 2005

Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy, Fox - Ended 2007

NASCAR Driven To Win, Biography - Ended Spring 2006

Jericho, CBS - Cancelled Spring 2008.  What is up with these networks?  Don’t you see you had a GEM, CBS? Grrrr.

I Pity The Fool, TVLand - Cancelled/Ended, 2006… Come on, if Mr. T can’t motivate you, no one can!

Standoff, Fox - Cancelled 2007

The Class, CBS - Cancelled Spring 2007.  This was cancelled in favor of Big Bang Theory?!! Come on, CBS.

The War at Home, Fox - Cancelled Spring 2007.

It Takes a Thief, Discovery - Ended Spring 2007.

NASCAR Drivers Non-Stop, ESPN - Don’t know what happened to the series.  Easily a Rip-Off of NASCAR Drivers 360.

Hopefully now my TiVo will be happier and will be a little more zippy…

I just read my horoscope for today (yeah, I know a little late):

You are open and honest in your philosophy of love.

Weird. Just weird.

OK, so I’m betting back on track on going to the gym  The routine is starting to happen naturally and I’m feeling better.  It’s crazy to think I wasted all those months paying for a gym membership and not going.

Anyway, today I managed to creep up to working out an hour.  I did my normal jaunt on the Elliptical and then I walked on the treadmill for 25 minutes.  So the quick stats:

Elliptical: 28 minutes, 320 calories, 1.92 miles

Treadmill: 25 minutes, 120 calories, .98 miles

It’s a start and I feel good.

This is now my second day back at the gym.  I didn’t push it too much this trip as well.

I was on an Elliptical for 35 minutes, went 2.2 miles, and burned roughly 380 calories.

Go me.

Apparently Edge Wireless is going to be purchased by AT&T Wireless and should close sometime in mid-2008.  As much as I have enjoyed Edge’s great service for the past 6 years,  I’ll be happy to have better functionality and cool features with AT&T!  Plus, I will be able to update my present phone to an iPhone! *does happy dance* Source: AT&T Press release here.

According to an AP article released today, Britney Spears is “having a blast” with her cameo appearance(s) on How I Met Your Mother.

AP Story can be found here

All I can say is UGH.  Please Britney, please don’t take down my favorite show like you did your career.  I will try to give her the benefit of the doubt since it could be entertaining.   My only hope is that CBS doesn’t decide to cancel the show and that she ends up being the mother.  I don’t think I could live with that outcome!

Tonight was the first time I’ve been to the gym this year.  I took it fairly easy and only went through the Weight Loss program on the elliptical.  For a little over 28 minutes, I burned 380 calories.  Not bad for the first day back.  I was surprised that I did not have too many lingering effects from the flu I had a few weeks back.  The thing that worried me the most is that I would start into a coughing fit.  Also, one of the nice things about tonight is that my co-worker is now working out at the same gym.  It definitely makes time go faster.

Day #1 Log

Machine: Elliptical

Time: 28 Minutes

Calories burned: 380
