I Suck At Heroes

in the quest for normalcy, karen and i hung out with our friends (marc and kelley) yesterday. not only is wednesday prince spaghetti night... it's marc and kelley night. actually, there is never prince spaghetti, so i guess it's just marc and kelley night.

as i was feeling a little under the weather, whether it was from my lack of recent sleep since braden's passing or simply a stomach virus, we decided to order takeout from the falafel king in quincy. (cue rachael ray's "yum-o" sound.) i have missed the falafel king... so delicious! thinking about the falafel king makes me reminisce about the good ol' days when i worked in town. luckily, there is a falafel king in quincy.

anyway, all of us had a good time. we watched the season premier of heroes. now, i suck at heroes. heroes is one of the other current tv shows that i absolutely love (lost being the other one).

(the video below is a trailer for heroes season 3.)


i think the reason why the show appeals so much to me is that the show reminds me of my childhood. growing up, i read a lot of comic books... a lot. (i watched a lot of tv too.) in fact, my brother and i used to collect comic books. collecting comic books was one of the few things my brother and i did together. and as proof that i was a total geek, my brother and i used to buy those plastic mylar sleeves to put the comic books in. yeah... we were diehard fans. it's unfortunate now that my brother and i have grown so far apart. it was nice, though, knowing that we had shared something in common at one point in time.

needless to say, the season premier of the show was great. plus, hanging out with marc and kelley also made the night enjoyable. i can't wait for the rest of the season.
