Ever since the new design came over, it seems like I've been spending less and less time here, but I'm hoping I'll be able to keep myself entertained enough to stay here. There are literally over a hundred bugs reported and it's all going kind of slow. I haven't been that happy or enticed to come back to this site, but still I kept everything updated.

With this blog, I would like to let all the soap fans to know that soap guides will now probably be updated each weekend, as opposed to before when I updated it every day. I'm very busy in my private life and will be for a long time, so I'll try to handle most of the stuff on the weekends, or whenever I find free time for it.

I haven't watched much of the fall season yet, but I did give Survivor Gabon a look and it's quite great to watch it in HD. I plan to watch a few other shows, but I'll wait until a few episodes air and maybe watch it all during the winter holidays. I'm depressed to see how long the ratings for Pushing Daisies and Chuck are. Those are brilliant shows and it's just sad that the viewers don't recognize that. Looks like yet another Fuller show will be canceled too soon. Dead Like Me much?

In a sea of angry blogs, why should this one be any different? Aside from five or six people who like the new design, there are more than hundreds of people hating every single thing about the design. I feel sorry for the staff, I really do. It is challenging to make a new design and then end up getting blasted for it. However, sadly, the staff doesn't seem to care one least bit about the users. They should have just focused on fixing the bugs on the previous design and make it into widescreen.

The thing that hurts me the most is the fact that hundreds of people are complaining on forums and the staff doesn't even blink. They are focused on fixing the usual stuff, but at the very end nobody will be satisfied. There are too many bugs, we can't submit, we don't like the design, then why should we even stay?

When things like this happen I can't believe that I'm still here after five years and the staff just doesn't care about its submitters. Why did I spend so much time of my life to put an effort. But putting that aside, I can only hope that the white color will eventually change or that the bugs will be fixed. I will cope; I will definitely still stay here, but I am worried about the various users that might eventually depart and never return here.

I regret wanting a new design; I had a feeling I'd regret it. I don't know what else to say beside asking the contributors to stop adding info to my guides because I can't either accept or reject them. I would hate if I lost my guides because I can't mod them. I'm also very worried that the staff will leave today and return on Monday. That will shake things up even more.

After taking a few more days of peace and trying to decide if I want TV.com to consume so much time and energy out of me, I've decided to still stick around. Sure, I'm young and have a life in front of me, but I don't think I'll ever be able to leave this place. It's been a great resource and duty for many years and I can't wait to see what's in store in the future.

I planned to do this blog post after the new design, but it's taking ages. Or at least it seems that way. With the new design around the corner, the level of excitement is reaching new levels. Yes, I am aware of the possibility that it might bring more bugs and problems, but I just got tired of this design. I need changes every now and then and this one fits just right. I have nothing against the current design, I still think it's great, but it's time to go widescreen. And hopefully we'll get new tools to work with.

I've reached Level 92, but I ain't that fond of the emblem. Actually, I hate the way it looks. I am not that big on emblems, but I did get that spring chat one. The only chat that I'm actually interested in will be HIMYM.

And congrats to Dan for winning Big Brother 10! And to Keesha for getting the jury prize. What a great season!

For Whom the Bell Tolls
A classic movie perfectly follows the book of Ernest Hemingway with amazing performances from Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman. The story is interesting and the plot is amazing. The only thing that didn't fit was the duration of the movie, but I...

Heathers
Interesting, thrilling, funny, sarcastic and a bit realistic movie is definitely one of those amazing movies I'll always remember. It's using the real view of a student and a criminal side of a person to describe the situation. An amazing movie.

Epic Movie
An interesting and funny parody brings us a new batch of sketches made to make fun of recent movies. The movie has it's times, but overall it wasn't as fun as I originally thought it would be. Some scenes were boring, and some jokes weren't as...

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
Maybe it's because I haven't watched a movie like this in a long time or something else, but I really enjoyed watching this slasher movie. Jason is brought back to the living by a telekinetic girl who came back to Crystal Lake to get over her...

Anne Heche is definitely the type of an actress that most people don't like. She lives her life the way she wants and she's not afraid to show it to anyone. Her career is full of ups and downs, and her decisions surprised many people and many...
