Game of the weekend: Were any of them particularly thrilling? I'll go with Green Bay over Atlanta, since it's the only team I actually wanted to see win (no offense Steelers, Bears, or Jets fans). Pittsburgh over Baltimore was probably the closest game, but a 10-7 defensive struggle is more entertaining to me than when both offenses are so bad with turning the ball over that it results in a high scoring game.
Watching now: Damages. Good show, finished after 3 seasons. I'm not usually a fan of legal shows but I like this one. Also, it went over my head the first time that the guy who plays Danko on Heroes was also in Damages. His name is Željko Ivanek, and apparently he's been in just about every show on television: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BDeljko_Ivanek.
Something to buy: A humidifier. Breathe, live, and sleep easier in the winter months. You can get a good one for $35 or less. Five quick facts about winter dryness:
1) Winter months are dry because cold air holds less humidity than warn air.
2) Furnaces heat your home, but contribute to dryness.
3) Dry air results in itchy, watery eyes and skin, dry and/or sore throat and cough, congestion, and increased likelihood of illness. Most humidifiers have replaceable filters for dealing with the fact that you've got a tank of water in the room, so bottom line is if you replace the filters when necessary your chances of catching a mold or bacterial infection caused by the humidifier is slim compared to dryness increasing likelihood of giving you a cold.
4) Unlike dehumidifiers which can turn a wet or damp room into an overly dry place, humidifiers are "self-regulating"; if it's very dry the water in the tank evaporates faster, if the air is not so dry it takes longer.
5) Having plants in the home can help regulate humidity levels.
