October 9th 08 - 55K

So I mark 55.000 submissions today.
I finished with the duplicate work on Brookside today, but apparently I missed one episode. Bad stuff.

There's not much to report from today or yesterday, just that I'm busy and tired...

I watched some tv today, but I'm behind on this week's stuff:
How I met your mother: boring, but it prepared well for some changes I guess.

Chuck: That one was quite nice in my eyes.

True Blood: The first bad episode.



That's already all from me today.

Take care!!

October 7th 08 - Busy like a bee

So I'm bloging late at night as I can't sleep. This time it's a serious problem as I have to work tomorrow all day long...
Well I'm otherwise busy all week long. Today I had my hands full with new PC equipment for my dad, plus I had free tickets for Hellboy 2, so I went to see that movie. It was very entertaining I must admit. It wasw fun watching the movie - of course it's nothing outstanding.

Don't expect me to be around much tomorrow either, as I work and play handball. On Thursday things won't be any better and on Friday as well. Then I'm invited for dinner - which usually goes all night long...

However despite my lack of time, I managed to recap The Hills today. Enjoy the recap to the nice episode.

I also had a few minutes time to watch The Big Bang Theory which was nice, but not as outstanding as the previous two episodes.



Take care!!

October 6th 08 - Level 85

It took me 78 days to pass through level 84. Looks like an incredibly long time and still I thought it was longer when I looked it up now. Well I hope this level doesn't take up so long, but with the in my eyes broken cast form, it actually might.

It appears we get one bug fix a day, with about 200 still open, it will take a year till everything is fixed around here...



I couldn't sleep last night so I was on the web almost all night long. I checked the wikipedia entries of my favorite music artists and such stuff. Highly interesting what you can learn there. Nonsense most of the time, but it's still funny enough when you can't sleep.



To the about 100 subs I did today, I watched some stuff:
I started with Dexter which I found a bit strange and with a lot of open questions.
Next thing was Californication which still hasn't really started through yet. It's still preparing for the season as it appears. Sad.
Then City Homicide which was disappointing compared to the exciting previews. And last I watched Desperate Housewives but that show is basically over for me. I might finish watching this season, but then it has to be over - or I'll no longer tune in...



Take care!!

October 5th 08 - Sunday

Not much to report today. I started handling the duplicate person guide in Brookside. 120 subs so far. Also a few moderated. It's quite a big project to remove a duplicate from 29 seasons.

I also wrote two recaps today as promised.
First was Secret Diary of a Call Girl episode 2x05 - the best episode so far in the season and maybe in the entire series! Just brilliant! Seriously.

Second was Rush episode 5. A nice episode. Good story and I think realistic bad guys.

I also watched Smallville which I thought was a nice episode.

No time for gaming this weekend (unfortunately).

What I forgot to post yesterday: congrats to those who became mods here.



Take care!!

October 4th 08 - Plans and Reality

So my plan for the day was to make 160 subs. Reality is I made about 80.
My plan was to write a recap today, maybe two. Reality is I wrote none. Sorry to you guys who are waiting for the Rush and the Secret Diary recap. I get to it. I promise. Looks like no time to play Oblivion this weekend, the recaps are waiting.

I also planned to add more episodes to Emmerdale, but I run into a problem there as well: I know a season has 103 episodes, but all sources only list 99. What do I do now? Do I add them and number them 1-99 or what do I do?

Next problem: turns out I have a duplicate guide on Brookside. I expect it to be like 600-800 faulty listings now. Thanks to SrRui for spotting it before it was twice as much to fix and for helping me now sorting things.



I wasn't on last night as I was out watching a movie. An excellent movie about the R.A.F. The movie I went to see was this one. It was such a violent movie. Pretty shocking. However an excellent cast and excellently played. If that movie ever gets to a cinema near you, watch it. It's certainly worth it. Especially as it is also a story about bombings against US military institutions in Germany. And then again when today's topic is terrorism, a look back in time might be quite informative. Especially as I think we already had everything once and it just returned...



On TV in those two days:
Bones: a nasty case, but I loved it.

CSI:NY: Also a nice episode. A bit too easy in my eyes, but still nice.

Private Practice: Also a good season return. Certainly worth watching.

It's always sunny in Philadelphia: Brilliant. Two such excellent episodes.



Take care!!

Album Review

Playin' with Fire Natasha Thomas
"Underappreciated"
I first saw and heard the hit single "Skin Deep" when she played it life and unplugged in tv and when she gave that interview where she explained why she now does her own thing and what she really does with her won label and production company.

She moved from Denmark to Berlin, Germany and you just hear that on that CD! The R'n'B sound on this album just reminds me of that 5 million capital. Sure I can't imagine her walking trough places like Pankow or Neukoeln on her own, but her sound still fits that multi culturel neighbourhoods. She is the answer on all this street hip hop by the male rapers and Hip Hop artits floating around in Germany.
It reminded me also of a movie I saw a few month ago called "Knallhart" witch shows the life of teenagers in Berlin.

The sound remembers me a bit of Jamelia as well, if you search for a musical reference. The sound is very clear, the background music isn't too fancy - it's simple and in the background where it belongs.
She uses her voice not as much as she could, since we know how could she could sing. The melodies are quite simple. I even would say that some songs are boring, but even there, the texts make up for a lot.

Then you only need to watch the musicvideo to her song "Skin Deep" and you know one thing: This woman is perfect! Why? She is so beautiful, intelligent and successful - what do you want more?

I admit that I actully listen to this album, simply because I her. I respect this album for what it is more, than for the music.

I also can advise you to buy it, because 16 tracks on a standard album (no special, limited or other editon!). So I like to spend my 15 euros or dollars! Not some 10 track no brain CD like most things are.
