I know, I already blogged about my three years here, but today is the exact day and something amazing happened I got a new editorship

Mr. Merlin is a very 80s shows in which Barnard Hughes plays the wizard Merlin who's now living in San Francisco and has to take an apprentice Zac, played by Clark Brandon.

Since I've always loved wizards and magic, this show was always a great favourite and I looked for it for years and finally managed to find it The guide was pretty empty so I've been adding cast, crew and ep summaries and managed to become its editor, yay

I'm about halfway so still have to add a bit, so it looks like I'm submitting again, hehe

Yes yes, I'm still alive. I realised I'd better post a blog now or I'd postpone it again.
I've been a member here almost 3 years. I registered on April 9, 2006. So, one week to go to my third anniversary here. YAY.

Even though I don't really post regular blogs anymore and spend less time here than during my first two years here, I still like the site and the people. Despite the bugs and the hiccups, there's still a lot of information on this site. Some is now more hidden than in the old days LOL but most of it is still there, which is why I'm still a regular visitor.

Visitor or active participant aside, I still managed to reach a new level, I've been a Commander in Chief for about a week now (see what I mean about postponing the writing of blogs) and I like it, it sounds very important, hehe. My last promotion was on 15 May 2008, so it's taken me almost one year to reach this new level and since it only becomes harder to gain levels, I dread to think how long it will take me to reach level 54, still I'm already 2 percent there.

I also want to congratulate Fanklloyd on becoming the editor of The Onedin Line. A hard-working TU (harder working than me at least) who easily passed my CPs and deserves to be the show's editor!

Remember, even though I don't really post a lot anymore, I still visit the site and read blogs.

I logged on earlier today and found out I had 61 submissions in my queue!! That is a lot, I don't know about other people but I've never had so many subs to moderate. 61 subs, all for the same show, all from the same person. Fortunately, most were minor edits that could be moderated without having to watch the DVD, because then I'd have to do them at the weekend

Still, a bit of work in this heat. 28 Degrees Celsius now, expected to be over 30 later on and despite rain, thunder and lightning, it's not expected to cool down much. I don't mind the heat, it's the humidity that's hard to bear. An office with no aircon either I've already told people, it's probably going to cool down when my holidays start which is on Friday I've been trying to decide where to go, or even , whether to go. The problem with me is, I never know what I want... I've already booked a few days in London later on in August, but what to do during the first week ? I do know I want to stay in Germany (because it's cheaper LOL ) so I'll just plan to drive somewhere ???? On the plus side, there are much worse problems than not knowing where to go

I want to the cinema and saw a Dutch movie Letter for the King (Dutch link), which is based on my all-time favourite children's book. The movie was quite good too at least they didn't change too much

As for tv watching, only the regulars, My Boys, Flashpoint, Weeds

Well, this is the second time I'm writing this blog, as IE crashed earlier, and I'd already inserted loads of links Oh well... I'll try it again in installments

The reason I;ve not blogged in quite some time is that my life is boring: work, Internet, sleep, and work again. Somehow, between all the excitement, I did manage to get a new guide.

That's right, Pride and Prejudice, the 1995 mini series, not the 2005 movie with Keira After Lin mentioned someone retiring from guides, I came across this one. A kind and gracious fellow tv.commer didn't want to compete so I gained the guide, a true gentleman!

The two main tv shows I'm watching over the summer period are My Boys and Weeds though I've also started watching Flashpoint and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. I did buy and watched Galactica 1980

I've watched soooo many movies though, that I dare not post the entire list, which includes 5 St Trininan's movies I've reviewed most of them here but I will post a small list

Son of Rambow

Forbidden Kingdom

1408

Speed Racer

27 Dresses, 88 Minutes and The Sundowners (the one with Robert Mitchum, Peter Ustinov and Deborah Kerr, the one that is not on movietome,com )

I have to single out this one, which in my opinion is a masterpiece:

Almost Famous Such a great movie !!

Even though I always enjoy becoming an editor, this time it feels less enjoyable.

I got the "you've become an editor" PM and thought: "What the....." and then I noticed it was for The O.C.

After sending Ross, whose TU I was, a PM it turns out his retirement wasn't voluntary. I'm not discussing details but I trust Ross and believe him, which is why I awarded him a TU slot in return.

So, with mixed emotions I'm the new editor of The O.C.. Once immensely popular and a st yle icon, FOX decided to cancel it, even though season 4 was just as great as season 2 and better than season 3. Opinions about that differ, as do the opinions about the Marissa character but I'm not making public statements about that here and now LOL

In other news, it's quite busy for me at work, and therefore submitting has to take a backseat. Even watching tv has been reduced but fortunately many of my favourite shows are on a summer break and some have even been cancelled

One show that's just started again is My Boys I've not seen the latest episode but hope to find the time to watch it this week. Next week my boss is on holiday, so I might have more time at work I'm also looking forward to new episodes of Weeds which is followed on showtime by (prepare for a shameless plug of DJ's show) Secret Diary of a Call Girl (I'm ashamed to say I've not watched this YET!)

Enjoy the summer and the sun everyone and for those interested in football (or soccer), I'd like to remind everyone that I'm Dutch ROFL

Wanna bet I'm going to regret this after the next round?? I hope not !!!! To think, I'm not even interested in football but I like the positive opinions everyone seems to have of the Dutch team (at the moment)
