And it's so much worse that it'll be winter over there. At least summer clothes are all nice and small. I just put A warm coat, a raincoat, a leather jacket, tracksuit pants and Half-Blood Prince in my luggage and it's already full. Grr. I'm not even taking any Twilight books, because my friend wanted to borrow them while I was away and I couldn't refuse because I'm too freaking nice. Gah.
I think our plane trip to Tokyo is about 10 hours. I'm quite excited for that actually, I love plane trips. It's just eating and sleeping and sitting and watching tv, which is pretty much what I do all the time anyways. My iPod is fully charged too and loaded with dozens of new podcasts to listen to, including Buffy Between the Lines season 1!
Plus I put Glee on there And we're staying in Tokyo for 4 nights. I just got my travel card done loaded up with a few months of pay and I plan to take a nice long walk down Harajuku and spend spend spend!
I will come back home with the quirkiest stuff, I'm very excited. Then after that we're going to Rome for a week, where we'll pick up our hired car and drive around Northern Italy for a few more days. Not that exciting, I've been there and it's all traffic and old smelly historical buildings that I don't really care about. Then we're driving down to Sicily and going pretty much everywhere there. Then finally going to a small down at the very south called Avola where my grandmother and aunt live, and we're staying there over Christmas and New Years. I think we're staying there for the rest of January as well, but we're probably gonna go to Egypt, Malta and London, for like a day thing. Like I said, not too overly excited about Italy, but oh well. I'm mainly looking forward to Japan. There's an Irish pub behind our hotel and a KFC in front of it. Chicken and beer: I'm set! It'll be like I never even left home. 
I'm bringing my laptop and might get access to wireless internet every now and then, but not often. I won't be able to check my mod queue once a week. I get back Febuary 4 2010, and I hope it's still gonna be warm here when I get back. I can't stand the thought of losing Summer. It's gonna be a hot one this year, I can tell. It's only November now and it's already hit 42 degrees celcius. Damn gradual yet inevitable heating of the Earth's core! I really shouldn't have watched 2012.
Hey all,
As many of you have probably noticed, I've been away a while. I had some health issues that needed to be tended to and I was off tending to them. I'm okay now, feeling much better. I apologize to everyone for not getting back to them or letting anyone know ahead of time. It all happened kind of quickly. I'm back now and trying to catch up, so if you wouldn't mind taking it easy on me for a bit I would appreciate it. The rest of the staff has done a bang up job covering in my absence and I thank them sincerely. I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things quickly. Hope this finds everyone well. - Dan
Hubby's having surgery on his left foot again on July 13. While the first surgery fixed some things, it didn't fix everything and it created additional problems. He's still in constant pain and can't stay on his feet for any length of time. I guess it's easy for these things to go wrong because he's found that a lot of people have had the same issues after foot surgery that he's having. I really hope this second surgery fixes everything. You just can't do anything when your foot hurts all the time. When you're feet hurt, it's the only thing you can think about.
Work is going well, but I'm so busy there. I'm not complaining because it's better than being bored with nothing to do, but it gets so crazy sometimes. I prefer it to be steady rather than manic. I'm on call this week, but haven't been paged (touch wood). I don't really feel like going out to the plant after hours right now.
I haven't been watching a lot of television lately since just about everything is on hiatus. Torchwood is going to begin airing here on July 20 and I'm looking forward to that.
BBC America also aired the Doctor Who Christmas special on June 27. They'll be airing the rest of the specials instead of SyFy as well. I'm glad. They treat the show a lot better than SyFy did. SyFy cut scenes from every episode to make room for ads. The only time BBCA does that is when they re-air episodes that last an hour or more. They never cut it on the first airing, so we always have at least one chance to see the entire episode.
I'm renting Invasion from Netflix. I didn't see it when it aired and I'm sorry I didn't. It's an excellent show. It's too bad they cancelled it. It turns out that Shaun Cassidy is pretty good at creating stories. At any rate, I have 7 episodes left and I'm looking forward to them. I'm pretty sure it ends with a massive cliff hanger, though.
I've gotten hooked on another show by renting it from Netflix as well. It's called Dexter. Unfortunately, I don't have Showtime so I can't watch this when it airs. The season 3 DVD is going to be released next month, but I won't be able to watch season 4 in September.
It's been dreadfully hot here the last month and we've had only 1 day with any rain. It was only enough rain to wet the surface of the ground as well. The ground is so dry and we can't really water because it just evaporates. The city has even asked people not to water their yards on even number days. The temperature has reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius), but it feels like 110 degrees (43 degrees) with the heat index. I'm sure it's going to get worse because August is the hottest month of the year and it's been like this for the entire month of June. The electric bill is going to be huge. There's just no way to tolerate it without air conditioning. I sure hope we don't get another hurricane. The water is so warm, the thing would become massive fairly quickly.
That's it for me. I hope everyone is having a happy and safe 4th of July.

Well wonders never cease. It's been ages folks, but decided to come back on this site regularly, and low and behold I couldn't remember the password for this account no matter how hard I tried. So I created a new account (Bloody_Cold) then today I forgot the password for that account, and remembered this one, sigh, I miss the days when I could remember everything. Signs of old age!
Blessings!
Adam Winters.
P.S. Find that one special person who you can talk to about anything. In this day and age, we seem to go through alot of problems. Keeping those problems bottled up inside won't help.
Song of the day "Love & Happiness" by Al Green.
Who finished it?
Was it not amazing!?
I waited til midnight to get it and when i got to the counter the guy was being wicked slow and i was like "AGH! Give it to me!!!. I was sooo excited.
I finished it the day before yesterday. EEK!
PM me if you wanna talk about it in detail cause I don't want to give anything away.
Well, I haven't been on here in about a year, but it's nice to be back. Feels like home. I've gotten quite a few emails saying that so-and-so is now tracking my contributions. And while I'm not sure who any of you are, I'm grateful 
I take it as a compliment haha.
Anyway, I hope all is well with everyone!
SPOILER! (Indiana Jones) !!!
Oh! And on another note- I saw the new Indiana Jones movie tonight.. was anyone else disappointed with the aliens?? Shia was looking mighty fine though
Wow, haven't been here in a LONG time, haven't written a blog in an even longer one. I just finished my freshman year of college. I went to my local Community College, CSI, or College of Staten Island, and I kind of regret it. Without the whole living on your own thing, it just sorta feels like a slightly different high school, at least so far it does. Besides that, nothing interesting has happened to me since I was last here, I really do lead a boring life...
And on that slightly depressing note, lets talk about TV baby, I mean that is what this site is for isn't it. The Lost season finale just aired last week and damn I LOVED it. This season as a whole has been slightly dissapointing. After a great start it seemed to lose alot of momentum in the middle, but it definetely picked up towards the end. I mean damn, first off, in one hour they killed off three members of the original cast. I'm definetely gonna miss Jin, he be the man. Yunjin Kim's performance in the finale was excellent, porbably the best stuff she's done since season one. And Micheal didn't affect me much since I barely even realised he was back. I mean seriously, what's the point of bringing the guy back just to kill him a couple of eps later, such a wasted opportunity. And damn, Locke is the guy in the coffin, damn, did not see that one coming. Also didn't expect the Oceanic Six to be rescued so quickly. And there rescue was a very exciting one, I mean damn, their helicopter went down straight into the ocean (not killing any of em, even the baby, cause obviously, as evidenced by Michael, you can only die when the island wants you to die, or something). Loved the rescue by Penny, I should of saw it coming when I saw the boat, but I was too damn caught up in the ep to even think about it. Desmond and Penny's reunion was so touching, just beautiful. Hope that Dan dude isn't gone, he was my favorite of the freighter folk. I have no idea where they're gonna go next season, back on the island in the present with flash-forwards to the oceanic six, or will there be a permanent jump to the future (like Desperate Housewives) we were first introduced to in last years finale? That's what I'm really curious about.
Speaking of Desperate Housewives I'm still shocked by the five year jump. And I'm still pissed they had Susan kissing some random younger guy. I mean, I've never been a huge Mike fan but this season it was so nice to see them happy and together, it just worked. I can't help but think the only reason they broke em up was so Susan could actually be interesting next season, grrrr...
Battlestar Galactica, this season has definetely been interesting. I've found it very hard to get into, though the last few eps have been a big improvement. Friday's ep really annoyed me though. I simply do not buy into Lee being the President, I just don't. I never even bought into him being a politician, let alone President. I was so hoping that dude with the glasses and the dead cat would just put an end to his miserable, annoying existence...Besides that, I like what they're doing with the show at the moment. Tigh's relationship with the imprisoned six is definetely interesting, with his dead wife showin up every now and then and I was shocked to hear she was pregnant, damn. And I love the whole civil war thing the cylons have got going on, very cool. Next weeks ep looks interesting, and the ads better be misleading, cause I really don't see Rosling being the final cylon.
Anyway, onto Buffy season eight. I'm in love with this series, it's like a dream come true and it just keeps getting better and better. The Wolves at the Gate arc has been great. I did have the infamous Buffy/Satsu in bed thing spoiled to me by the internets, but the actual scene is now one of my favorites of the series, everyone walking in on the two was hillarious and immediately ended any annoying storylines involving Buffy keeping a secret from her friends like she did back in season six. The scene was hillarious, Andrew's lines were probably the best -"Hi Buffy, Hi nude asian girl. How much Dramamine did I take?" Seriously loved it. The rest of the arc has of course been great as well. Love Xander and Renee's relationship development, and have to say I did not see the end of issue 14 coming AT ALL. Joss is definetely evil, that's all there is to it. Love Giant Dawn, as always, how can you not love her when she says things like "Hi, or I mean...ROAR!" Though I gotta say I don't like the way Georges Jeanty draws her, she look 14...Oh and I love Drac being back, though I do kinda wish they'd bringing back old character and start bringing in some great shiny new ones.
Also on the Whedon front, I'm so friggin excited about Dollhouse. It will obviously be the greatest thing to ever grace our television screens. And with that I leave you, see ya in December or whenever I come back to this site again and at the same time decide to write a blog...
Quick Recap on Celebrity Big Brother which was actually a hijack version this year because of the racism controversy with Jade and Shilpa last year. I thought it was okay but it wasn't really full of drama of arguements which made me not as involved as past seasons of the British Big Brother. Typical winner, the nice nerdy guy.
Moving on to the Yanks' version which started a month and a half ago.
When I saw the pictures i thought it was going to be a complete bore, no one seemed out there and they all looked alike. Boy was I in for a shock. The partner twist bothered me, but I knew it was only a matter of time until they played singles. I started out like the james and joshua alliance. I was so happy when they won HoH in week 2. But after Josh's assault on ALison and cockiness. I switched sides once again.
Now that Matt and Chelsia have been evicted. Natalie has a chance to get rid of James. Which I'm really happy about. Worst Case Scenario, James wins POV and its sharon vs joshua. with josh leaving.

People always asked me why I kept a poster of Network in the office.
I recently went to NY and ran into this crazy Italian festival called the Giglio. How is everyone doing? You guys better not be harrassing Danmod. Or Jaxiecracks. I'll get you!
-ribs
check out this dope video of the Giglio feast, including Rocky theme song!
Yeh, I know what you might be thinking..
Why in the world would you want to give up this profile for another ?
Well, I know I'm like only 71% from level 50 and all. I don't really care. I want a new ID so I made it. (:
And I hope the people that have tracked me here add me there.
ieffnx3you.
And thanks.
I'm trying to get on more and help when I can.

ughhh my allergy is killing me.... whats a good way to get rid of allergies? my head is hurting sooo bad

Wednesday, May 16th I turn 21. That's fine, the probelem is that nothing has changed.
- If I lived in America, this would be the age that I would celebrate the fact that I can drink, legally, but I am from the UK and we have had that right since we were 18 and since I was raised Catholic, I have had that right since about 12!
- Let's see, I still play ridiculous amounts of video games (yay nintendo wii!)
- I still watch copius amounts of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
- I'm 6 ft tall - (I was 5ft9" when I was 11 - yeah! I know)
Most of the above applied 10 years ago. I feel I need a change. This is why this year:
- I am learning how to drive.
- I am shelving my nintendo DS (at least for a while)
- I am taking in more culture i.e. going to the theatre. BTW, I saw that play Equus where Daniel Radcliffe got naked - it was a spontaneous decision....
- I am choosing to stop thinking spontaneously!
Any more suggestions? It'll be nice to feel like an adult, even for a while.
See you all in the boards -

The process I went thru was to take a screen capture of the blurry collage of pics MissRibs supplied and place them side by side with the slide show pics many entertainment sites provided of the 2006 Emmys Red Carpet. The pic that gave me the most trouble was trying to identify the silhouette in #9 who ended up being Vincent Curatola.
Here are the pics and the correct answers, my incorrect guesses are in bold:
1 Kiefer Sutherland
2 Dennis Leary Ann Lembeck
3 Ryan Seacrest
4 Kyra Sedgwick Kevin Bacon / Evageline Lilly + Dominic Monaghan
5 Kevin Nealon / Patrick Dempsey
6 Ellen Pompeo
7 Jeremy Piven
8 Wentworth Miller
9 Vincent Curatola
10 Harrison Ford
11 Steve Schirripa / Sean Hayes
12 Jon Voight

I lost all of the photos I'd saved from my digital camera...my daughter's graduation, my cat that died, my son's first day of kindergarten... I'm very depressed right now.
I lost all of the spreadsheets for my taxes and other finances. My laptop didn't have a floppy disk drive, and I couldn't get the CD drive to work, so I couldn't save anything on floppies or CDs.
I bought a new laptop, with Norton Anti-Virus and Firewall, and a WORKING CD drive, so now I have protection and I can save my data.
Life is never simple is it.... I was looking forward to spending some quality time on this site over the last week - I had some reviews and submissions that I wanted to write, as well as spending more time on the forum, but I never have seemed to have got round to it.
My granparents came over to stay for a long weekend, which is nice, but does take up alot of time. I have also purchased a new car, so I have been running around trying to get tax, insurance and all other things needed so that I can finally have a social life again, instead of spendinmg all my time in bus queues, which in this freezing weather is not at all pleasent!! To top of my week of frustration, my boss has decided to move the sales and marketing offices around, so all spare time that I didn't have, has gone to rearranging furniture.... some things are just not meant to be!
So what to report.... well, to be honest, nothing. I have not managed to write a single review, a single submission or even a post. Infact, writting this blog is the first time since last week that I have managed to spend more than 10 minutes on this site. I do however hope to make amends this week - oh yes, I have plans
I took delivery on saturday of the X-Files complete DVD collection. I did decide to take the plunge after all... I am now trying to work out when, and if I'll have time to watch it! What are your favorite DVD's that you own, or do you prefere to watch films and TV series "live".
Well, that's about it from me I'm afraid. I hope you all had a great weekend (what did you get up too), and hopefully I will see alot more of you this week.
Cheers for stopping bye, draskers
