I think I actually miss the rain at this point. I miss seeing a good thunderstorm, and one rainfall (which was really just misting) in four months does not cut it! And I think we really need rain at this point since there are fires all over the place. I can see them on the mountain by where my friend lives. Weird. So...I dunno if I want to stay here for good, because without getting into specifics, things just aren't too good lately. I do like my job though, it's great - but it also makes it harder to decide if I want to end up going back home to Ohio next year or not. My roomate is also a horrible person so that doesn't help much.
Anyways...I'm still adjusting to this new site, like I'm sure we all are, and I keep thinking the guides here aren't "real" and that the old ones will come back so I can submit to them. I know, makes no sense right?
I did finally get up a level, but considering that once you get to 50 it's much harder, I think it'll take me months each time I gain a level anymore lol. Or maybe not...who knows? Oh I also re-did my banner and profile image to fit a Halloween theme...and I Changed My Icon!!!! Yeah, I've had the evil monkey for over three years, and it's from so many versions of tv.com ago. That and the new version stretches it out all weird and makes it look really bad - I think they made that change just so I'd change my icon lol. These new icons don't center right on the top of our profile though. I was gonna pick something really different, but I didn't wanna change it up too much. Do you approve of this one? ![]()
I must also mention, as I'm sure many of you will notice, that I'm now a mod on the site. I'm very grateful for this and I thank the staff and other mods for letting this happen and welcoming me to the team. Of course being a moderator means I'll be "moderating" things, but I also personally think one of the most important things about being a mod is helping people out. If anyone has any questions about anything with the site (or about something else if you really want I guess!)- issues with the new layout, problems with another user, questions about how something works, etc. - of course feel free to PM me about it. I'll try my best to resolve your issues and make your visits to the site less stressful. ![]()
TV wise, the season is now in full swing, as all the season premieres have come and past. Overall I'm not so impressed though, I dunno why. Maybe I'm watching too much TV? I hope not! I'll bold show titles so you can all pick and choose. Oh and don't take me the wrong way now...I am only harsh because I care, and I want my shows to be the best they can be!
Heroes is the biggest disappointment I'd say. I LOVE Angela Petrelli, but other than her, meh. Parkman needs to just die. Suresh needs to get killed by Maya so she can be part of a good storyline (cuz she's hot duh). Hiro is super boring now. Everything else just doesn't make much sense. Bones is also bad this season, but it's doing better lately after it's horrible start to the season. As long as Zack doesn't come back I'll be okay - I mean come on, he worked with a serial killer! I'd toss him as a friend in a second if I found out about that. Lame storyline. End it. Family Guy - nothing super funny yet. I thought I'd like the new season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia but it's becoming too far-out to make any sense at all. Becoming cannibals? Oh come on, that's beyond dumb.
Smallville is pretty good, but could be a bit better (I can't wait until Lana is back!). Supernatural - now that's good stuff! I love how Sam is getting closer to the line of evil, and how the God/Devil stuff was introduced. They managed to pull it off so it works right. I'm also loving Terminator this season - such great writing and acting! I also love the dark mood of the show (it's almost too dark sometimes though) and how deep things are. Great drama. Oh, and the season premiere of CSI? Perfect! I loved every second of it, that's how a show should be! Best hour of TV so far this season (and the ratings agree!).
No new shows have been good really. Valentine and In Harm's Way were a waste of my life, and Eleventh Hour was disappointing (come on Bruckheimer, my man!). 90210 is bad but I keep watching it. Fringe is getting a bit too weird, but it's okay. Oh, The Mentalist is pretty good though, although I'm not too attached to any of the characters. I did start watching Law & Order: SVU this season - and boy did I miss out on 9 seasons of good stuff!That's about it. I promise I'll try to blog around in the next day or two...I've been scared with the new site! Take care everyone. ![]()

Sorry things are pretty stinky for you right now. Some good TV always makes me feel better. I would personally recommend some more CSI, Bones and Mentalist. I agree Heroes has been pretty lame.
Hang in there and enjoy your new mod status!!!!
I noticed the typo as well, you may want to get that fixed up! I told people they can come to me as well, I felt good for saying it and even better that I haven't had to worry about any PMs as of yet.
Congrats on becoming a mod. I think your long-time loyalty to the site and experience will be a great asset.
Watch out for those fires. YIKES!
Supernatural and Terminator have been my must-sees this season -- and, of course, SVU
Sorry about the roommate situation. A bad one can ruin so many days that otherwise would have been great.
