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.

Supernatural is definitely my favourite running show. Smallville has made a number of noticeable improvements for its eighth season.

Congrats on your new mod status (you may want to fix the typo in your blog since it says you are NOT a mod...)!

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 couldn't bring myself to change my icon now, I guess it was about time in your case though!

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.

I would kill to live in LA! It just sounds so cool, and your job counds so amazing!! I like your new icon and banner Congrats on the mod status! I think this season of Bones has been ok, it has had some really good episodes, and some really dissapointing episodes... overall it's ok, I can only hope it gets better, which I'm pretty sure it will! I've only seen the premiere of both ttscc and heroes... I have decided to not watch them straight away but watch all the episodes that have aired around christmas Especially Heroes is better this way (the show moves to slowly for me).

I agree with you about Heroes and Bones. I keep watching because I think they'll get better, but they're just not delivering. I'm getting bored with Fringe as well and I've decided to start watching The Mentalist instead. I really like the lead character in that one and the show has a lot of potential. I'm still watching Smallville, but it's just ok...not spectacular. I'm really enjoying Terminator, but the two I've been most pleased with are Life and Chuck.

Fall will come to LA when Kimba posts some pictures of LEAVES!!!! Pretty red,gold and brown leaves.
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!

Sounds like a lot of TV to me but at least you're still watching primetime so it might not seem like a lot after all

I tried changing my icon but TV.com keeps resizing it in all sorts of weird ways that it only looks good in blog comments.

Congrats on becoming a moderator!.....I'm sure you'll do a fine job at it. As for TV, well, the fact that Knight Rider is getting more eps says something, doesn't it?...

Congrats on joining the Mod Squad

nice. I love your icon!!!!

Congratulations on the new (tv.com) job!



Supernatural and Terminator have been my must-sees this season -- and, of course, SVU . IMO J.J. Abrams is always a flash in the pan. He can never maintain intensity/complexity past a certain point, could be I'm still bitter about Lost.



Sorry about the roommate situation. A bad one can ruin so many days that otherwise would have been great.

Oh noooo! I wrote out special comments to everyone and Gamespot erased all but Mafeu's. Well...I'll just say thank you all for your comments, and the congrats too, they make me feel quite welcome. And also I'm not so sad now anymore after that emotionally draining SVU episode.

Congrats on becoming a mod!! I lived in LA for four years. It does finally grow on you, but having a good roommate is always key. I love your banner--very cool.

I never did like Bones and many new series I'm watching are really bad, eg. Reaper, lipstick jungle, and any of those shows that talk about fashion. There seems to be less and less shows for guys to watch over here. Sigh.

Although you probably don't know me that well, I decided to stop by here. So you recently became a mod here? That sounds awesome! I wonder if I could ever become a mod here, but right now I'm probably too young. Whoa, I just noticed, if this was your most recent blog, its been ages since you made a new one! Yeah I also noticed the new site change, I can't help but miss the old one. That sounds like good news about some of the TV shows you mentioned, and good luck being a moderator here!

Have you decided whether or not you're going to stay in LA, yet? Have you had rain?
