Sorry about the absence over the past week or so. My internet did that thing where it wouldn't work! Its just about working now though! I've got a few blogs to catch up on, so bear with me.

Premieres
America's Next Top Model Cycle 11
TyraI really liked the premiere this year, there are some really great models, and of course some BORING ones. Firstly, Isis is amazing. She handled all the critisism, and mocking about being physically male very well. She even pulled off a stellar photo. I also love Sheena (so funny!), McKey, Marjorie and Joslyn. Nikeysha was also good aswell. Elina is soooo modelly it's not even funny. She'll go far. The others are mostly dull. Clark was a full on b*tch, as was Sharaun (Good riddance). Lauren, Hannah, Analeigh and Samantha faded into the distance. The wholle "Beam up fiercly thing" was ridiculous though! I think moving back to LA was a mistake though. I always like it in NY. Hopefully for cycle 12.

Gossip Girl Season 2
Overall, it was a good episode. But not as amazing as the promos made it out to be. I liked Blair and Chuck's banter in the episode. Its fun to watch. Jenny's outsmarting of her boss was c l a ssic. I'm not sure where the writers are planning on going this year. This episode didn't really tell me much. I am however worried that it will in fact suffer a sophmore slump.

I'm still waiting on a few more premieres, like Smallville & Ghost Whisperer.

TV General
The first part of the season 4 finale of Grey's Anatomy was good enough. Not as good as I thought it woud be though. Hopefully the final episode will be a good one. The channel it shows it on have postponed it for two weeks and have put Prison Break in its place. Bullsh*t! Dexter continues to amaze me! Every episode is better than the last. Can't wait to see how the season ends.

Buffy, WillowI've been rewatching Buffy like crazy, and loving it. I finally upgraded my VHS sets to dvd for seasons 3, 4 and 6 (already had 5), seasons 2 & 7 left and I finally have them all! Anyway, I realised how much I love the show. Season 3 is better that I remembered with some great episodes. Some I forgot about like 'Homecoming' and 'Earshot' were fantastic. Graduation Day was great as usual. Season 4 was just as fun as it usually was for me. I liked the lighter atmosphere early on in the season. The show did however have some of its best episodes this season like Hush, Restless, Primeval, and New Moon Rising.

I had my orientation day yesterday! University is a scary place. Very big! I have my first lecture on the 22nd. I'll be missing the Dexter finale , I'm sure I'll get over it though!

Sorry again for missing all of your blogs. I really do enjoy reading them! Have a great weekend.

Sorry about the internet not working

I'm kinda re-watching Buffy too atm, season 4 and its so much better than I remember it being, I'm really enjoying it!!

Hope you enjoyed orientation yesterday and it wasn't too scary!! Its exciting that you're lectures are starting soon
I'm missing the Dexter finale too I think I'll watch it online after I see the next episode, I'd be so upset if I miss it!!

Dexter is so amazing at the moment, you're so right about each episode being better than the last!!

My internet is always playing up so I feel your pain.

Ah! You had Buffy on VHS tape, that's funny -- it's a great show, but unfortuantely it goes very down hill in the final two seasons. I just sold my Buffy DVDs, I decided we needed some space after 10 years. I can't watch the show anymore without getting bored or annoyed. I'll give it a few years.

I agree with you on Gossip Girl, the second episode and the premiere weren't the best episodes. Although I don't think the second season is going to be appalling like The OC. If anything, things look like they'll improve over the second season -- plus Chuck is getting more airtime. Yay!

Hey there! Glad to see you're blogging again. I did miss your TV show reviews. I'm hoping GG picks up from where it left off in season one. It's Smallville's final season, right? Grey's Anatomy and Dexter have great endings to their last season. Just you see! Have fun at the university!

Sorry to hear your internet wasn't working.

Good luck at University I'm sure you will do great this year.

Your 1st year at Uni - how exciting! I really need to purchase the BtVS DVD set; I miss seeing Spike.

Glad your internet is working! I totally agree that Isis is amazing! She reminds me a bit of Melrose because she's perfect in every way, I guess, but she doesn't have a spontaneous side. I also love Sheena, McKey, Elina, and Marjorie. Elina is very pulled together and she'll go far even if she doesn't win. Clarke.. I don't like her. I'm lovin' this season so far!

I really should rewatch Buffy too. In fact I'm always rewatching it, but only ever the same, later, seasons! I haven't seen seasons 1, 2, 3, 5 in the longest time. I would love to watch those early ones again
Good luck at uni! Tell us more.

Woot for Gossip Girl Yeah it was pretty good, I just hope this isn't another show to go downhill Aww don't worry about uni, you'll do fine! Good luck

Hi! I'm sorry to hear about your internet not working. As for Gossip Girl, I haven't seen the 1st episode in S2, yet. I like Blair and Chuck together; Chuck makes the show for me; on the other hand I don't like Jenny. You don't like Prison Break?!? I've only seen the 1st season of Dexter, and so far is brilliant. And Buffy is a c.lassic

Good luck with school! Don't worry, soon the university won't seem so big and scary! See ya!

Ah the whole VHS/DVD switcharoo! I had to do that a few years back with Buffy and Angel. I dread to think how much money I spent overall on those shows doing that! Plus I have very disgruntled parents because the VHSs are now collecting dust in their loft! (I couldn't bare to part with them and sell them on because they look so impressive stacked up together!!)

Hey Cian, long time. Howre you? Sucks about the net. I'm still on Cycle 6 on ANTM, so I have no clue bout Cycle 11. I feel the same way about GG. Hope Uni goes well, sure it'll be a hoot. Later.

Hey, your first steps in University! I remember that feeling but it got less scary in no time. I am so curious what you'll say on the 22nd.

I am glad your computer is back in shape and you are the proud owner of the complete Buffy set. Earshot is a great episode! And Deter is amazing, right now, couldn't agree more.

Good luck with university! I was nervous, but everything went fine. I hope it goes well for you. I only got to see the first part of GG, because my computer was having trouble downloading. The part I saw was good though
