Real Life
Man, it's been forever since I've posted here. I guess real life has a stronger pull than I realized. I won't be putting up any significant contributions to the guides I edit in the near future. Better to wait until I'm properly motivated than turn contributing to this website into work. Besides, one of the great things about this website is that anyone who knows something about a show can contribute. So feel free to add to the guides everyone. Just keep in mind, the trivia section is for the goofs.
My New Apartment
As stated in my previous post, I recently got a job (yay) that requires me to relocate. I'm now happy to report that I've found a place to live as well. I'll be subletting a bedroom from a very friendly and well-mannered young woman in a condo. It's a good situation: I get the master bedroom, I'm close to public transportation, and she's already got a lot of the essentials. Best part is that it's a temporary lease so that I can get settled in the area without committing long term to something that could potentially be bad.
I have to admit that I was a little worried that she might be too conservative or withdrawn. But when I showed up to sign the lease, she was wearing pjs and watching That 70's Show reruns. That clued me in right away that everything was going to be ok!

How My New Job Will Affect My Duties as Editor
In two days, I shall be done with grad school forever! This is fine by me since I already have a job, although it requires me to relocate. Fortunately my future job is such a great opportunity that it makes relocation worth it. Also, I have some family in the area, so it won't be as scary as it could potentially be.
Once I am settled, I shall recommence updating the guides that I edit. Right now my plan is to update one episode of The Legend of Prince Valiant per week. I'd also like to try posting long recaps for Peter Pan and the Pirates once a week based on info I've found online. While those long term projects are going on, I plan on finishing up "The Quest" 10-parter from My Little Pony 'n Friends, then renting MLP on DVD to fill in the rest of the first season.
For the record, Dino-Riders is done, Strawberry Shortcake contains all the info that I can concievably add given my limited knowledge of the new episodes, and Jem is complete enough to sit tight for a while.

Updating Legend of Prince Valiant Again
I'm starting to update the Prince Valiant guide again. The last couple days were stressing me out, so I needed a fun project to entertain myself. Episode 7 - "The Gift" - now has a longer recap, allusions, notes, trivia, and quotes. I'll try to do one episode on a weekly or biweekly basis since I still have real life stuff that needs to get done.
An update to the Wikipedia article on Prince Valiant states that two actors did the voice of Sir Bryant: James Avery and Dorian Harewood. I've been trying to figure out who Dorian Harewood plays for a long time now; this makes sense to me. I just don't know which man does the voice in which episode. But Dorian Harewood is now plugged into the main cast list.
The episode stars field confuses me. Are we supposed to mark down only the show stars that appear in that particular episode, or the ones that are credited as stars when that episode was aired. There are 9 actors credited in the opening credits of every episode, but their characters don't always appear. So do I only mark Robby Benson and Michael Horton for "The Journey" since they're the only main characters who appear in that episode (even though the entire cast is billed in the opening credits)? Not really sure.

Procrastinating
Man, this website is going to be the death of me. I have too much free time this semester, so instead of getting ahead on my work I'm watching TV and writing summaries for various guides. This is not good. I need to get a life.
