Hey Everyone

Away from TV.com)

Well, I reckon some of you might guess what my big news for this month is ...

I became a full time student again . I am officially coming to you from University . A whole 3 years of it to go . I'll try and survive .

But i still reckon a youtube video is needed to celebrate the occasion :

So anyway, back to Uni life . Well after some initial homesickness, I'm slowly starting to settle into Uni life , although all the reading and coursework I have to do is a bit off putting . It's a big change for me compared to the first 29 years of my life, and a bit scary because of it , but I'm sure I'll get into the swing of it all eventually .

Other things that happened this month :

- My Mum had a birthday . I got her a book about bird watching

- My nephew had a birhday . I got him a racing car card game (gotta watch the pennies now that I'm a student )

- I had 4 leaving parties! . I went out for drinks with my now ex-work colleagues . I went out drinking with my friends . I had a meal with my parents and my brother and sister and their families . And I went Go-karting with my Karate group, and it was soo much fun , I've never been go-karting before .

- I joined a new salsa club up at Uni

- I went and saw this illusionist guy who swallowed loads of random things. It was pretty gross

- I got something I wrote published in a film magazine again .

Albums I bought) La Roux by La Roux, It's Not Me, It's You by Lily Allen, The Boy Who Knew Too Much by Mika

Films I Bought) House Party 2, House Party 3, Labyrinth, Fast And Furious

TV Shows I bought) CSI: NY - Season 5, Part 1, The Simspons: Season 12

Hey Everyone

Away from TV.com)

Hmm, now what could have possibly happened, hmm . Oh, now I remember............... Anna came over and stayed with me for 9 days .

Yep . A whole 9 days . Apart from all that lovey dovey stuff , things we did included : Going to the seaside, going to see a musical in the West End , having a picnic in a local park , and going to the cinema twice . Oh and she also got to meet my brother and his family, and my work colleagues, and one of my friends .

I'm currently hoping to go over to Switzerland in December .

Other things that happened in August :

- It was my brother's birthday .

- I got a new display rack for my TV DVDs (You may have noticed that I tend to buy the occasional TV Boxset ). I'm hoping, that with me having to drastically reduce my DVD buying when I'm at Uni , it might last me till the end of my Uni course . It probably wont though , LOL .

- I bought a new ipod . It's a black ipod classic , and it has a storage capacity of 120GB .

- I got a new hi-fi for Uni . It's just a basic thing , but it does come with a CD player, digital radio, and ipod playing area .

- I got a new DVD player . a multi-region one .

- And I got a new TV aswell . A 20 inch HD readly plasma screen, with built in freeview (a cheap, lot less impressive version of Cable, but Hey, It still means I get about 20 extra channels to watch ).

- Oh and there's also the fun of arranging my September farewell parties . Of which there are 4 of them! . More about them in the future though .

On TV.com)

Retro TV Show intro of the day: The Cosby Show

Hey everyone

Away from TV.com)

A couple of important things happened this month , but let me first say something that happened this month, that some of you may already know about :

I became a Boyfriend!! . But who on earth is my girlfriend then? . Well the answer is, another TV.com member . But who?!!!! you ask . Bannanie (better known as Anna ), that's who .

So how about some more relationship details then .

We'd been chatting on msn together since about autumn/winter 2008, which is also about the same time we arranged that the two of us would meet up in February, when Anna came over for her holiday in London . February comes around, we meet up as planned. We then go our seperate ways after that . After London, our texting and msning relationship gets more personal, to a point where I guess you could call it romantic . I then arrange with Anna, that I would come over and visit her in June in Switzerland. So, I book my flights, and we meet up . She takes me on a tour of her city, and it was all very nice . Then came the big step . Following on from the convos we had been having post-London, I turned to Anna and said that I liked her in a romantic way . She responded, and said she felt the same way . So, one thing led to another, and we agreed that we wanted to officially be a couple . So yeah, that's it, in a roundabout way . Oh and also, Anna's coming over to the UK in August, and we're gonna be spending a whole 9 days together . Yaaayyy!!! .

In other news ......

- I officially completed my 15 month work contract . Which means I got my completion bonus ........plus......they wanted to keep me on aswell , so I'll officially be employed there up until I go to Uni aswell . Plus of course, they now know about me going to Uni, and they're fine with that .

- I bought a DSi .

- I bought the drum kit controller for Guitar Hero: World Tour

- And I also bought............a Lego Death Star!!!!! . Yeah yeah, I know I'm 29 . But it's just so awesome , hehe:

http://www.thetoyzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/lego-death-star.jpg

- I also got officiial confirmation through that I got at a campus room at my University .

- I went and saw my cousin perform in a local play .

- I won something in a Prize Draw . I've never done that before, ever . I won Seven Pounds on Blu-ray . It was a runner up prize , but hey, it still counts as winning something in a prize draw . It now means, I have officially won 6 films on blu-ray in the last 12 months ,,............but I still have nothing to play them on .

Albums I bought) Sunny Side Up by Paolo Nutini, Music For The People by The Enemy, The Best Of Paul McCartney and Wings, The Best Of Stevie Wonder

Games I Bought) Animal Crossing: Wild Word (DSi), Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (DSi), Grand Slam Tennis (Wii)

Films I Bought) Eagle Eye (3/5), The Marx Brothers 8 Film Boxset (and no I'm not listing all the titles ) (3/5), The Good, The Bad, The Weird (3/5), The Da Vinci Code (3/5), Punisher: Warzone (2/5), House Of Fury (3/5)

TV show I bought) I Love Lucy: Season 4, I Love Lucy: Season 5, South Park: Season 11, Walker Texas Ranger: Season 4

On TV.com)

Well, for lack of a better word,.......I've given up doing submissions.

Let me explain that a bit better ...

In the last few months, I've had at least 300 submissions that have not been counted as a level percentage increase. I've mentioned this fact both on one staff members' own blog, and once on a main TV.com forum topic. Those comments have been there over a week, and no-one has even attempted to respond yet!

Personally I think it's terrible to see problems like that treated this way by TV.com staff, so I've decided, that, until they start doing their job, I wont do mine. Thus no more subbing from me till the problem's fixed .

76 days till I go to University
