Hey all, it's been a while I know. There are a few reasons why I haven't been blogging, or on here much at all.
The first is college. When I last blogged I was just about to start, and now the first term is over. It's been a crazy few months. It's a lot different to school, but I'm getting used to it now. I haven't made many friends in c lass but where I'm living I have made a few. Some a pretty crazy, so that suits me fine! I love the independence of living alone, and I feel like I have really grown up. I have also learned about my new best friend, vodka!
The second is this new design, which blows. It just isn't the same this way. I can't get used to using it. Though TV[DOT]com is still my religious TV bible. A lot of people have disappeared also, which doesn't surprise me at all. And those who didn't, are threatening too, or aren't happy. I seriously do not know what the CNET team were thinking!
And now a quick rundown of the TV season thus far.
Heroes
Been even worse than the second season and I was so looking forward to a redeeming season. The majority of plots have been all over the place. I feel lost in a mess of formulas and evil, yet not so evil villains, and weird alternate realities. Just when I think things couldn't get any worse, they go and get rid of Kristen Bell, literally they're only redeeming quality, aside from the wonderful Daphne (who needs a far better plot than the one she has).
Desperate Housewives
Season 5 has been a letdown. Though not abysmal, it just isn't as amazing as the first four seasons, and it lowered back down to season 2 standards. The Dave mystery isn't as intriguing as season 4's. I still love it though.
Ghost Whisperer
This show would be better of cancelled. The writers, after 3 years of greatness, have destroyed the show so fast, I almost didn't see it coming. I was proud that such a soft show could do something so hardcore by killing off a main character, and then they go and spit on what happened. In a show about moving on, this really doesn't sit well with me.
Smallville
I am pleasantly surprised by this season. Though not half as good as season 4 or earlier, the show is heading in a good direction. I think it can leave TV land with some of its dignity intact. And the abundance of screen time given to Chloe this year really helps ![]()
Supernatural
I was never too keen on this show, but season 4 is its best. It has gone in a very brave direction and is one of the few shows that stick to its master plan. I hope it gets the fun it wants.
Gossip Girl
Season 2 had a slow start, but has been consistently entertaining throughout. I still miss Georgina though
. The show is still as good as it was. I hope it can keep this up.
Ugly Betty
A huge step up on the previous season, helped by Linlo's appearance on the show. The episodes get better and better. I just wished that Amanda and Marc would get more to do.
America's Next Top Model
Though cycle 11 was dullsville, the winner was the best they've had in ages.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Save the best for last. This is the only amazing show on TV right now. Every episode has been 100/10. My love for it grows and grows. I just hope it isn't given the Fox treatment and sent packing.
In DVD land, I have finally caught up with Bones season 3, thanks to a friend. Its as enjoyable as always. I also finished House season 4 (also thanks to the same friend!) which was the best season ever, regardless of what everyone else says. I should be getting a few new sets for xmas . . . Yayness!
So, I do hope this is read by a few of my old commenters. It would be nice to hear from you all again
. And I'd also like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas!

And hey a mutual friend in vodka!!
I'm getting used to the re-design but its sad that people have left, but I can understand why.
I'm enjoying DH this season, but Dave's mystery seems to be really obvious atm so they need something to spice it up and make it more mysterious
Happy Christmas, hope you have a good one
Glad college is going well.

I completely agree on the new design, 'tis irritating. And they keeping changing it! Grr!
I have been enjoying DH this season, but I agree that it is not as good as it was. I'm way behind on Terminator! UB I just can't be bothered with at the moment, I'm waiting for Supernatural and GG to air here before I watch them, although I don't even know when they start.
