Monday, Jun 1, 2009
So I enjoyed a day off (public holiday here where I live) before I start to work full time for the next two months starting tomorrow.
Especially June will be a difficult month, with exams and work ahead. I have planned basically every minute of it already. That's also why I decided not to ask the girl out (what I wrote in my last blog) - simply, because I couldn't fit it into my schedule!!
It's seriously a sad story! Maybe I have a chance when this month is over... maybe. Maybe I missed my chance, who knows... 
I'm receiving a lot of subs these days. However I have a problem with most of them. For example I receive a cast submission. Nice, 12 people added or so, then I go and watch the episode myself as well and see that there are two people missing. I still accept the 12 cast people, but I'm annoyed that I have to go and edit the cast list myself. It's actually more work to figure out who's missing than to compile it entirely. Still I don't want to reject a good submission. It's just eye catching how often exactly that happens (with many different people submitting!)...
For Robin Hood some people are really upset apparently, because they don't agree with the tv.com rules. They want the official BBC episode summaries listed at any cause. The best attempt is (comment) "this is not from the BBC!". Aha. I google it anyways, guess what the first hit is? 100 points for you if you guessed the BBC website!
Last night the season 5 finale of The Hills aired (it will be repeated today, sorry that I originally put it up for today in the guide! I guess it's a nice episode, but nothing outstanding.
I'm really surprised that the series will go on in fall without Lauren. I mean how desperate is MTV to continue a show when the main cast member is gone? I know MTV is struggling financially, but if this will be a success to earn some money? Sure so far the show has been the most successful in the station's history, still...
I reduced my TV watching to a minimum. About one episode a day in average these days. Still I barely find time to study properly...
I hoped Secret Diary of a Call Girl would return this summer, but it looks like it will be the end of the year till it returns.
The new Doctor Who companion was revealed. With a new doctor, I actually might tune into that show again.
Torchwood is around to start again, so is Weeds. Weeds really has to improve over the last season or I seriously consider stop watching.
What else is there? With the semester being over and many friends leaving for the summer, I'm somewhat alone here... I plan to sign up for a gym to at least stay fit over the summer. I wonder how long I can keep it up to actually go.
This blog is getting long... and I hope not boring
Take care!!

Good luck with your seriously busy schedule. I hope none of my Robin Hood submissions have been a problem??

Maritimer beat me to it. You don't work a girl into your schedule. You work the schedule around the girl. Priorities, man! Priorities!
As for people submitting things they claim are their own but obviously taken from other sites....well, they're just not terribly bright. Accept that stupid people exist in all walks of life and move on.

The better shape you are in, the more energy you will have for your busy schedule. Hopefully that includes your possible new girlfriend. Have fun this summer.

I just was like, OK, let's go out. Then when do I have time? Hmm. Basically never. That wouldn't be fair to her, so I let it be for now.

a4lyon, no your subs were fine.

I have the opposite happening. I have barely anyone submitting to my guides. The Hills is going to be strange without Lauren, I might not watch it if it gets boring without her.
Posted Jun 2, 2009 1:11 am PT
It is strange, I had a couple of weeks with 0 submissions and now they come in again... Indeed without Lauren it might become boring...

That BBC stuff is funny since anytime staff wield their cudgel in a guide for one of my CBS shows, the summary is always plagiarized from the network. If someone new sees that before I remedy it, I can understand their confusion.

I think that rule soon will change to CBS stuff is acceptable...

Did you watch that "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here" at all on NBC? Wow, I never really watched The Hills...but man, Heidi and Spencer are such crappy people! Spencer is so ridiculously arrogant and Heidi is a wuss/whiner. Had to turn that off haha.
Uhh and when do you finish school? Is the summer job thing an internship? Haven't talked to you in forever...I'm so lame haha.

I never watched that show! Well hopefully I can finish school in a year. Switched to computer science by now. I know, I know. I watched the Hills only because of Lauren. The job is part of my assistant position I have. It's not really an internship.
Posted Jun 3, 2009 3:44 pm PT
I switched my major a million times...I'm surprised I finished in 4 years somehow still. Well, it was an "easy" major, not some hard science-type thing like you have.
And yeah, Lauren is the hot one, good reason to watch haha.
Job is always better than internship too. Awesome.

Indeed. I like my job. It's a good one.

Well if they ever got user-submitted links working, we should add those official summaries. Good thing is that when you find the missing two people, at least you also have the chance to reorder the cast since you'd have to do that anyway.
As for the dating, you can find the time, just take it at the pace you and she feel comfortable. She knows you're busy.

As I said, I make another attempt next month. I hope she understands.
