Ohio has been in the news quite a bit in the last couple weeks. Perhaps you heard about Noah’s Ark wrecking the wild animals that were let loose by some jackwagon who thought it would be fun to keep tigers, monkeys and more as pets.

Well, the story gets better – now the jackwagon’s wife wants the animals – her “kids” – back.

I have three comments related to this nonsense.

1. My favorite part of that video is the 911 calls. “Yeah, there’s a lion on Mt. Perry Road.” “I’m pretty sure I just saw a wolf.”

2. All of this could have been avoided if we didn’t have such a complete moron for a governor.

3. I am pretty excited about the costume I’m wearing to loyal reader @RobynSwensen’s halloween party on Saturday.

So if you’re one of the eleventy billion people on Facebook, you’ve probably heard (read?) some grumbling about the changes in the last few weeks. I personally find the ticker thing annoying (this picture that I stole from Jill pretty much sums it up):

But other than that I don’t have any strong opinions on the changes in the feed.

I do, however, have strong feelings about the new changes to the profile pages – now known as the timeline. It is pretty much the coolest thing I have ever seen. Here’s a video from Facebook that explains it much better than I could.

Here’s a part of my timeline from 2009:

Hallelujah, my kids finally have a baby book! They’ll just have to visit my facebook page to find it.

I can also look back at a previous year and see my status updates, places I went, groups I joined, the messages friends left on my wall – there’s even a specific section that shows messages left on my birthday! It is really, really neat.

Everyone’s profile will switch to the timeline view on October 31, but if you want to do it now, you can find instructions on Mashable. Also, only people who have set up the timeline can see another person’s timeline, so if you haven’t switched, everyone’s profile will look the same as always.

Have any of you switched over to the timeline profile? If so, what do you think of it? And if not, what are you waiting for??

I don’t know about you, but I am so glad new shows are about to come back on television! There’s been nothing to watch all summer and it’s been getting on my nerves!

Some of my old favorites are coming back and it looks like a few new shows have promise, so I’m getting my TV-watching schedule together.

Here’s my plan so far:

Monday
Definitely:

Maybe:

Tuesday
Definitely:

Maybe:
Uh, I don’t see anything else worthwhile.

Wednesday (aka best night of television)
Definitely:


Maybe:
I don’t know anything about it, but I like the name.
Adding a new category – Definitely not:
I don’t know anything about it, but I don’t like the name. It sounds like a google search term more than a sitcom.

Thursday
Definitely:

Maybe:
If it can jump back over the shark.

Friday
Apparently nothing. Or, more than likely, catching up on dvr’d episodes of all of the above shows!

What are YOUR must-see-tv shows this fall?
