15.02.09 - Also I can kill you with my brain!

Hello Again!

Life Stuff:

Life is dull - work is busy! Not much else to say...

TV Stuff:

All of Firefly(!) LOVE this show! We watched all of it in 10 days!

Desperate Housewives 'Mama spent money when she had none' this weeks episode was ok - it wasn't great but I enjoyed it and it made me laugh. I did like the Edie and Gaby storyline that was really sweet.

Medium 'Soul Survivor' and 'Things to do in Phoenix when your're dead'I'm loving the return of this show! I missed it so much when it was off air that I watched all of it from beginning to end! I haven't been dissapointed yet Loving the new season and am glad that it will be on when everything else is off air!

Big Bang 'The Maternal Capacitance' This show rocks! I loved all the interaction between Sheldon and Leonard's mother although I could see a lot of it coming.

Nip/Tuck 'Ricky Wells' and 'Manny Skerritt' Hmm, didn't like the storyline in either of these two episodes. And i'm sad that Liz has gone

Lost 'The Little Prince' and 'This Place is Death' more twists and turns... I'm intrigued as to how they get back to the island. I did think that the storylinewhats her name (the one that died) having grown up in the island being a little rushed as in it was revealed and then closed in about 30 seconds.

Dollhouse 'Ghost' WooHoo! A new joss Whedon project! Really loved this - thought that it was a little slow to start but it picked up after about 15mins I like seeing Eliza play lots of different rolls in one show. I'm really looking forward too seeing where this show goes but i can see that it will soon be one of my favs!

Ghost Whisperer 'Greek Tradegy' for a Friday13th episode it wasn't that scary

90210 ' Help me Rhonda' I'm still compelled to watch this show every week! i'm not really suer why though as the storylines are very so-so having all been done before.

and we are finally getting Heroes back in a week in the UK so i can't wait to watch the new epiosds. They have changed the day that it airs though which could get a little confusing.

Film Stuff:

I am currently trying to rack my brains to see what I have seen recenlty... oh that was it Slumdog Millionnaire which I didn't really enjoy. I know that it got great reviews etc but it really wasn't my cup of tea and it actually made me quite uncomfortable at times. Oh and I watched Serinity which i love

TV.com Stuff:

Another quiet week on tv.com for me. Within the last couple of weeks I managed to pick up the Come Dine With Me guide which is a show I love watching

TV.com Stats:

Level:43

Level to 50: 7

Subs to 5000: 88

ok enough for now this has taken me like an hour! have a good week

02.02.09 - Snow, Life and Stuff!

Hello All!!

Life Stuff:

Everything has been a little hectic recently! We went home and visited my parents at the weekendd which was nice -we ate way to much food but on the whole a great time was had by all! In the world of work everything is a little hectic at the moment as the company I work for is rolling out SAP which was meant to happen today but because of the snow a lot of staff couldn't make it to work so it kinda got put back! I love the way that if England gets a little hit of unusual weather the whole country panics! Saying that its been quite bad - pretty much all public transport in London stopped only a few lines on the underground were working! Crazy! I did spend most of the day sat at my desk wishing I was outside in the snow!

Tv Stuff:

There hasn't been much on this week

House: I watched Painless which was ok. I enjoyed itbut it seems to be based a lot more around the main characters than the actual case this week.

Nip/Tuck: Roxy St James Man did thisa episode make me kringe! It was rather gorey! I liked the Christian and Liz development- I think they are cute! On the wholeI'm not enjoying thisseries anyway as much as i did the first couple.

Think thats it this week! Isn't the superbowl or something on?

Film Stuff:

We haven't managed to make it to the cinema this week The last film I watched was The Water Horse: Ledgend of the Deep which really wasn't that good! I did rewatch Little Miss Sunshine at the weekend and still laughed loads Am hoping to make it to the cinema this week but we definetly aren't going to be driving unnecessarily until the weather gets a little better!

Tv.com Stuff:

I wasn't very active this weekenddue to being at home but I'm hoping to make up for that this week! I do however have 10 subs in my queue which is the most I have ever had Go me!

Tv.com Stats:

Level:43

Level to 50: 7

Subs to 5000: 200

Also randomly i am completly loving this song! i very almost know all the words!! Clicky!>/a>

DVD List Update!

I have finally decided on a blog format but first I thought that I would do a special blog with my DVD list in. I last did one of these back in March 07 and I was wondering how different it was...

TV Boxsets:

Buffy The Chosen collection Season 1-7 (US Edition)

Angel Special Edition 1-5 (US Edition)

Bones Season 1 (New since last DVD blog)

Charmed Season 1 (New since last DVD blog)

Charmed Season 2 (New since last DVD blog)

Desperate Housewives Season 1

Desperate Housewives Season 2 (New since last DVD blog)

Desperate Housewives Season 3 (New since last DVD blog)

Firefly Sesaon 1

Friends Season 1-10 (Uk Big Black box)

House Season 1

House Season 2

House Season 3

Ghost Whisperer Season 1 (New since last DVD blog)

Lost Season 1 (New since last DVD blog)

Lost Season 2 (New since last DVD blog)

Medium Season 1 (new since last DVDblog)

Medium Season 2 (new since last DVD blog)

Medium Season 3 (new since last DVD blog)

Milennium Season 1-3 (I still haven't watched this!!) (Season 2+3 New since last DVD blog)

Moonlight Season 1 (New since last DVD blog)

One Tree Hill Season 1

One Tree Hill Season 2 (New since last dvd blog)

One Tree Hill Season 3 (New since last DVD blog)

One Tree Hill Season 4 (new since last DVD blog)

Point Pleasant Season 1

Rome Season 1

X-Files Season 1-9

Veronice Mars 1-3 (Season 3 new since last DVD blog)

24 Season 1-6 (1 season new since last DVD blog)

So that means that I have acquired 20 new seasos of shows! Man thats a lot! I aim to buy in the next 3 months this OC set and this Dawson's Creek set. These will both be brought with survey money which means they cost me nothing! Free is my favourite word! (sorry if those links don't work its been a LONG time since i've done one!)

I will start my normal blog format as of sometime this week - I was going to do it on Friday but i'm going out for the evening so it depends if i have time or not.

Hope everyon ehad a good day!

New Level, New Guide, New Year!

Hello All!!

I think i'm getting well and truly back into the swing of things on tv.com!

Current Stats:

Level 41: Sleestack

Subs till 5000: 564

Go me! Also in tv.com news I got a new editorship of Demons (UK) a new series which started in the UK a couple of weeks ago.

TV Stuff:

Haven't been watching much the last few weeks asmost things have been off air. I am really looking forward to the new seasons of Medium and Lost starting. I will make a special effort to watch them as I haven't been able to keep up with the normal amount of tv I watch as everything has just been too busy. Its useful having two monitors though - i have a episode playing on one and tv.com on the other multi-tasking all the way!

One of my New Years resolutions was to set up a blog format and blog regularily - i still need to decide on a format but when I do I'll let you all know!

TV.COM: I'm interested in seeing the new black tv.com - I think that will be much more to my liking.

This is a bot of a random all over there blog but my brain is fried from a lot of training at work on a new computer system which takes some getting used too!

Ciao for now!

Alive and Kicking? Well back for the first time in months! :)

Hello! Well it really is long time no blog!! I have been so busy with the new job that I started backing January; I have barely had time to think let alone time to spare to come on TV.com! But the good news is I'm hoping to be able to try and get back on here semi-regularly! I will have more free time from the end of June as my travel to work will be drastically cut down so I will have more time at home – some of which I'm sure can managed to be spent here!

General Life Stuff!

Well where to start! As lots of people are aware I started a new job back in January which has kept me very busy. I've been so knackered when I've got home I've been just vegging out in front of the tv! But I'm started to get into the swing of it now and it seems that things are on the up! My lack of tv.comming hasn't been helped by the fact that tv.com comes up as Access Denied at work! (Along with every other decent website out there!)

Compared to my old job where I was able to be on tv.com 24/7 if I wanted and no-one was there to know! Oh well!

Generally in life I'm bobbing along. Still hating the house sharing and counting down the days till we move out on our own (only 62 to go!!). The Grinch has now got a girlfriend but no-one 'officially' knows we just know as they haven't spent a night apart in the last 3 weeks and she seems to live at our house now! Urgh! I am trying to crazily save up at the moment to be able to get lots of new things for our new house! I'm getting excited about moving already when it is really quite a way away!

I have been expanding out my regular sites on the internet *cue gasps!* and have found quite a few! My current thing is making money off the internet for free mainly using survey sites! I use this to fund my television box-set addiction! In the last 2 months we have got 4 box-sets completely freee! (my favourite word that is!) So I'm sure after I have posted this I will be back on with the free money!

TV Stuff

Well what have I been watching now that's a question!! My tv viewing is quite high this year and considering this is a tv site and I haven't been on long I will give up a quick update!

Ghost Whisperer – Loving the new season! Its fab! (also I just brought season 1 on dvd all for free! So I didn't really buy it but hey!)

One Tree Hill – Have found the new season a little hard to fully get into but its still good. I have thought that the last couple were obviously different in the way that they were to the rest of the season but I still enjoy it!

House – Honestly can barely remember what is happening with this but I have the latest episode to watch!

The Big Bang Theory – I love it! This show is my new favourite! Its so funny! I can't believe that its only about 20 minutes long though!


I also have but have yet to watch, Heroes S2, Riches S2, Tudors S2, and soo many more that I want to watch but still haven't.

Really not sure what else there is to say! What have you guys all been up to in my absence? I have just written this at work whilst I am meant o be working but can't be bothered! I have done lots today but can't be bothered to do any more!

So busy! Where has all the time gone!!

Firstly apologies for not coming by anyones blog! I have been so busy and I currently can't access tv.com at work so I have to do it at home mixed in with the million other things i have to do and tv.com has gone to the bottom of the list I'm afraid

I have put some time aside this weekend so I will swing by all the blogs I have missed then So keep an eye out for me! lol!!

I heard on the radio today that there were going to be more disscussions about the Writers strike this week and fingers crossed they get resolved. (The radio said something about it coming up to award time so people were starting to panic!)

TV wise I am watching

*Season 2 of Torchwood in the Uk and loving it!!

*One Tree Hill (USA) and loving it! Really can't wait for this episode this week after seeing the trailer!

*Nip/Tuck - Not really sure where the season is going seems to have a lot of loose ends that aren't going anywhere yet.

*Have 3 episodes of House to watch but am saving them for a mini-marathon one night when I'm home alone

*Lost seaoson 4 I'm working my way through the previous seasons to refresh my memory then i will be watching that. Its takinig a lot of self control to do this as I really want to see it!

And i still have to watch Heroes! so lots to go!!

In other tv/film news I would recommend Over Her Dead Body - a very funny film that both me and my boyf loved!!

Ok this is the randomest blog ever it has no order and i doubt it even makes any sense!!

Hope everyone is enjoying there week!

xoxoxox

21/01/08 - First Day!

Well hello alL! I got a bit caught up last week after I found out I got the job finishing off things at home and trying to get everything up-to-date as obviously I won't have that much free time now!!

I had my first day today which was fab and i throughly enjoyed it! Lots to learn and I still have miles to go till I've learnt enough to do the job on my own but its still great fun! The people are lovely too which helps!

One of the downsides is not being able to access TV.com I will just have to get my fixes in the evening. I might eventually be able to get on here but i don't want to do it in my first week (obviously!!) So i will have to apologise for my lack of me as I will be rather busy.

Anyways got things to do now!!

bye

13/01/08 - Catch-up

Hey everyone! Just a little warning that this blog may make no sense at all considering it is currently 12.20am and I am ill and unable to sleep so I thought I would write the blog I would have done yesterday had i not been ill, however it may be a big pile of rubbish I will just have to see what I have at the end!

Fisrt things first.... I hope everyone had a fab Christmas and a good new year. My Christmas was great we spent 4 days at my house and 4 days at my partners house. Got two stockings each, two sets of presents each, two Christmas dinners etc. (It is definetly the way to go!!) On the gift front I got some stuff I was extremely pleased with! (I know this is late but I haven't been around in a while!!) My 'biggest' present would be the playstation 2 my other half go me and the games i got which since chrsitmas seems to be quite a few! Singstar(x3!), dance mats and games to name a few!! My parents gave me some money which went on a few boxsets And I got a lot of other randon but very cool stuff. What was everybody's fav present they got??

As for new year my boyfriend and I just had the evening in all alone. We were suprised by the fact that when we came home we had the house to ourselves for almost a week which was very unexpected but very good. Made us both realise how much we can't wait for July when we have our own house. (I already knew I couldn't wait!!)

Since christmas I have been rather busy (well it feels like I have!) I have had some job interviews one of which I realy want to get the job so fingers crossed!!

TV and film wise I've been kinda busy! We saw I Am Legend on Boxing day which was fab! and only a little scary! We saw Dan in real life the other day which i would recommend to everyone! I've seen loads more films but I can't seem to remember them in my ill state!! TV wise I have been making do with very few of my shows! Only the odd episode here and there. Because of this drought I have managed to get up to date with Smallville so now I have another show to watch which isn't airing Planning on rewatching Firefly for somethjing like the 3rd time next as I really like that! But am working my way through lost right now as so that when its back on air i will have some clue about what is going on!! We have some shows starting in the UK soon which I am realy looking forward to. Mainly Torchwood season 2 which starts on Wednesday and has one of my fav actors in, James Marsters!! Also we have Repaer starting over here soon which i am looking forward too as I have yet to watch it. I managed to finish Californication the final episode was awesome and i laughed sooo much!!

I really ought to be asleep but i just can't get to sleep and my boyf has exams so I feel bad about keeping him up and am trying really hard not to make him ill.

I hope everyone is well and i will try and make it round al of the blogs I have missed over the past couple of weeks in the next couple of days so watch out!!

12/12/07- Singstar, The Grinch and Christmas!

TV Stuff

As i'm sure you can all image this section is getting a bit thin at the moment with barely anything airing!! I did get Samantha Who yetserday which as always I love! Other than that out of my normal tv i'm looking forward to Ghost WHisperer this week.

Because of the lack of television I have had to entertain myself on other ways! Which at the moment is Smallville! I started watching it from the beginning and I am now on Season 3. I am very suprised about the amount that I have already seen!! I don't remember watching it that much but I must have. I'm still enjoying it though!

Film Stuff

This week we have seen:

The Golden Compass: The latest book trilogy to be turned into a film. It was actually quite good. Personally I can't stand child actors and the lead in this was no exception. She annoyed me for the entire film! But put her aside and focus on the story and it was very watachable, i now feel the need to read the series though as there were various things i dind't quite understand! Which hopefully the book will explain further.

Bee Movie: This is one crazy film!! It has talking bees (crazy enough) one Bee goes on a little adventure from the hive and discovers that humans are eating honey; he is obviously outraged so he decides to sue humans!! A very fuinny film for kids and adults alike!

Life Stuff

Where to start!! The Grinch is still not talking to me!! He is being quite appaling reall, I tried talking to him the other day and he went Hmm and walked off. Men!! You are all terrible (ok well not all of you!!) He seriously needs to grow up espically as in a couple of week when we come back after Christmas it will just be me, him and Nathan. fun!! The Grinch is also being a pain in the ass with the heating! We are having a rather cold spell here at the moment where we have a thick frost every night, our house is old and doesn't contain heat very well at all. We had the heating set up so that it comes on long enouogh before anyone gets up so that the house is warm however he keeps changing the times to suit his living and no-one elses! Not very polite at all!! Urgh enough about him he really is driving me mad but on a yay for annoying him I now have a.......

Playstation 2 (yes its not the newest thing on the market but as I explained to Dan it does everything thing I need!!) We also have Singstar and are awaiting the arrival or more games and a dance mat!! The Grich has a tendency to play extremely loud mucic when everyone else is in bed or really late (loud music at midnight when you share isn't acceptable) so Nathan has decided that we can beat him at his own game with our wonderful singstar voices!! lol!!

I doubt there will be another blog until next week now as we have Nathan's family visiting for the weekend.

TV.com

I have managed to make it to level 38. I did some subs yesterday adding episodes and then went to add the cast but the episodes weren't showing properly so I thought I ought to leave it to update itself and do them today instead! I seem to have a rather busy day today oh well better go get started!!

Have a great week and weekend everyone!

06/12/2007 - Fast Paced!

Another blog (no suprise there!!)

TV Stuff:

Gossip Girl: One of my only shows that actually aired this week!! It was a good episode I enjoyee it. I really am loving this show its fab!! Serena's Grandma was a b!tch!! I really didn't like her, i'm glad Serena stood up for herself! Her and Dan are so cute! I was annoyed at Blair I liked her and Chuck!

I have been having to keep myself occupied with other tv at the moment which is Smallville. I'm halfway through season 2 and quite enjoying it. I have seen some of season 1 +2 before but its still really good to watch them in order.


Film Stuff:

I won't be going to the cinema unti tonight we are going to watch The Golden Compass which should be a really good film. Even tho I have never read the book that its based on but it still should be good. Just out of interest the series is Dark Materials and the first book in the UK is called Nothern Lights I was just wondering what it was called in the US as the film is called The Golden Compass. Its like the Harry Potter books have slightly different names in the US.

The Virgin Suicides: I watched this film yesterday as I am a Kirsten Dunst fan and i was under the inpression it was meant to be a really good film. I didn't know what to expect and I still am not quite sure what i think about the film. I think i may have to watch it again a little later on and see what I think.

Life Stuff;

Life stuff has been a bit odd recently my housmate STILL isn't talking to me!! The weird bloke that he is!! Randomly I recieved 48 free bottles of Volvic Revive! All free for a product test how cool is that! I'm pretty good at getting free stuff!!


Tv.com Stuff:

I have been quite active in TV.com recently going up 4 levels since my last blog! Getting a good start on my aim to reach level 50!

04/12/2007 - Shrek The Halls With Bells and Holly Fa la la la la la!

Hello! Its that time of the week again!!

TV Stuff:

Desperate Housewives: I loved this episode personally I rated it up there with Bang. I can't believe that that is how the series has ended for now. I really want the writers strike to be over. I need to know what happened!! The cliff hanger was so huge I can't believe it!!!!

Bionic Woman: I'm not really a huge fan of this series but I have watched it through to the end. As for this episode I didn't miss Antiono at all. i found it quite amusing that they were watching Heroes! For a final episode i didn't find it very eventful!

Shrek The Halls: This was a funny 30 minutes of tv. I have enjoyed all of the Shrek films and this wasn't a dissapointment. Shame it didn't air in the uk I wonder if they will air it in the uk closer to Christmas?

Samantha Who?: Another funny 30 minutes!! I enjoy it every week!

Film Stuff;

Fred Claus: This was quite a funny Christmas film. I enjoyed it. It was predictable but still it was worth seeing. A nice family Christmas film!!

This Christmas: This was obviously another Christmas film it wasn't as good as the previous film but it was still an ok Christmas film. i doubt I would see it again but considering I don't pay for the cinema but still. I found the film a little confusing but once i had wrapped my head around it I was ok.

Life Stuff:

Nothing much has happened recently.Housemate is still not talking to me! doens't really bother me that much. I started my Christmas shopping this weekend I brought a whole 1 present!! not anywhere near finishing. I almost know what I'm getting everyone tho which is good.

TV.com Stuff:

I have a tv.com aim whichis tobe level 50 by Christmas lets just hope I can manage it!

sorry about the shortish blog but I have lots of things to do!

Have a good week everyone!

Levels to 50: 17!

29/11/2007- Feeling Happier, Enjoying Life!

Hello all another blog from moi!

TV Stuff

House: I enjoyed this weeks episode and I'm happy with the outcome of House's new team I am wondering tho where the season is going to go from here considering up to this point it has mainly been him working his way towards a new team.

Gossip Girl: I enjoyed the flashbacks they had this episode. Thet had the right mixture of happy and unhappy hoilday memories. Which is good because the hoildays for some people aren't a happy time. I know that Rufus had to choose his wife over his first love but I still wished he hadn't and I don't think that we have seen the end of the three of them. (I haven't read the books so i'm guessing!)

Nip/Tuck: I'm not really sure what I though of this episode, it had a lot more sex in than the previous episodes. But i guess it used to be like that in earlier seasons. I liked the way that Christian played Eden because I can't stand her! But I get where all of her b!tchyness comes from now. Kimber and Matt really are annoying me they have a child that should be there top prioty at least Matt daydreams about being better when he's high but still it makes me angry.

Film Stuff

Good Luck Chuck: As far as comedy's go this was average of the films I have seen this year. It wasn't as bad as some (Superbad) but its wasn't anywhere near as good as others (Knocked Up). Worth a watch but I doubt I would watch it again!

We are off the the cinema to see Fred Claus which looks funny. I love Christmas films so I am expecting to see a lot of films in the next month!

Life Stuff:

I'm feeling much happier today than I have previously. I guess my hormones have settled down a bit! Housemate is still not talking to me. Nathan says I need to be the grown up and make the first move but I really don't want to because it will proberly turn into another argument considering there are a lot of things left unsaid and I don't wish to argue with him. On a happier note I will be putting our Christmas decorations up on Monday as then it is offically December so I can get away with it! They would be going up on saturday but we are in Dorset for the weekend.

On a completly random note I picked up a brand new never opened or played Desperate Housewives Dirty Laundry game for £3 from a charity shop today which was good! Also got a game called Mr and Mrs which is apparently based on an old tv show but I thought it looked like fun!

TV.com Stuff:

Haven't made any subs yet today as I got distracted by tidying. I have been rather hyperactove and I don't think sitting in front of the computer is going to make it go away!

Have a great weekend everyone I won't be blogging again till monday as we are going home for the weekend as an old boss I worked for is having a Wine Tasting and I always help out because its a great excuse to drink nice wine!

27/11/2007 - Insanaquarium and One Insane Blogger!

Hello all! So here it is! Another blog from Linda!

TV Stuff

I feel that I am starting to feel the effect of the strikes this week just gone with a lot of my shows being off air. However this coming week seems to have a few more of my normal ones airing which should be good. I'm still very glad that I haven't watched Heroes yet even if I do know some stuff I shouldn't about the second season!

Californication: I missed this weeks episode! Got too caught up inHouse season 3!

Ghost Whisperer: I loved this weeks episode (to be honest there is barely a week that I don't love!) but thisone was really good. Payne was fab! The storyline was really good! I really have no idea where they are going to take the season. The only thing I can think is that its going to be a good versus evil with Melinda obviously being good. I have a vauge recolection of the overall storyline chaning dramatically half way through the season but then again that could have been a dream!

Desperate Housewives: I was so pleased when I read the summary for this weeks episode as I hoped Nathan Fillion was going to have some more screen time but he didn't I'm glad Catherine wasn't in the episode tho as I really don't like her. I'm interested in the Gabby/Mayor/carlos storyline! Also Susan was huge this episode compared to the previous one! lol!

Samantha Who?: Another 30 minute fix of Samantha and her crazyness! Was quite funny tho!

Still to come: Gossip Girl, House, Nip/tuck, Californication and anymore I remember I'm watching!

We have finished House Season 3 and are now back on to the X-Files being two episodes left in season 5 so we are very nearly on the movie which is cool. On a completly random X-Files note I noted that my box set allows you to watch the deleted scenes in the episode as it would have been originally which I thought was a fab touch!

Film Stuff:

August Rush: We went to see this at the cinema. It was very good; i have to admit that it wasn't what I was expecting. Then again i'm not really sure what it was I was expecting. I did really enjoy it tho. It had a happy ending which is always a plus for me!! The one thing I found a tad confusing was the time jumping that it did without any warning that thats what they were doing. It was almost like someone had taken the completed film and jumbled all the chapters up!

Honey: I like cheerleading movies, I like ice-skating movies so I thought i would try some dance movies. I think I may have picked the wrong one to start with! Really wouldn't watch it again!

Life Stuff:

Where to start! Well firstly I have been playing Insanaquarim a lot recently! Its a crazy game but it keeps me entertained for quite a long amount of time! (more than I would like to admit!!)

On the house front things are BAD! So bad! I really am finding this year very hard and stressful. Its almost like i have got swallowed up in living someone else life that I don't know who I am anymore. I'm kinda hoping this will pass and that I can go back to being me. Its strange but I was thinking about the last time I felt care-free and worry-free and disturbingly that would have been about 2 years ago before my faith in men and life got turned upside down. I worry way to much and with my history that doesn't turn out well as i always expect the worst in people. Oh well onto the happier subject of my housemates!

HA!

You thought you were going to get some happy talk there! you were wrong! things are awful! I haven't spoken to one housemate in 3 days. He makes a point of not coming and talking to me. I can be in the room with my other half and he will ocme in ignore me and start talking to him. Its fun! I have now stopped cooking meals for him. The arrangement we had at the beginning of the year was I would cook and my other half and 1 housemate would take it in turn to do the washing up every evening. Well long story short he hadn't done it in a week he was asked to do it and he said no! (men!!) so bit of stress and yelling later (on both sides) he did it but then didn't speak to me or nathan in two days. so on sunday evening I was cooking dinner and i made enough mince (spag bog) for him I just hadn't cooked him any pasta. I'm sorry but I don't know how someone can expect you to cook them dinner when they haven't even acknowledged that you are alive! Anyways he didn't like that I came in and started yelling at me, to which i told him he was being a prat as all he had to do was boil the kettle and cook pasta (someone who had never cooked before can manage that let alone a 21 year old!) to which he got extremely stressy at me and continued yelling and saying stuff, with me obviously trying to get a word in edgeways (not having much luck!)! Ergo we are now not speaking and I am no longer cooking meals for him as he is a ..................... (please fill in any word you feel appropriate there!!!!!!!!)

Phew! that took a while! I had to spend an hour today sorting out all of our food cupboards and splitting all of the food up farely (which i did extremely well and we probaly came off worse as i am way to generous for my own good!) Then I had to sort out all of the booze which Nathan and I own a lot. We aren't big drinkers but alcohol doesn't go off so we have quite a bit. of which he has been drinking LOADS since we moved in and we haven't complained (did i mention we were nice!). By loads i mean bottles of spirits we have had for months and not even opened are now half empty if not more!!

I guess this whole situation started as my housemates is quite mean and says a lot of little comments daily that really get ot me and I just let them slide. Nathan said that wasn't a good idea and I should let people know when they annoy me. Well i guess he didn't like someone standing up to him! He alsohas selective memory when it ocmes to things it says which makes him look silly as Nathan has heard him saying things to me and obviously Nathan stood up for me. (well for a day atleast!)

TV.Com Stuff:

BLAH! Does it sound like i have time for tv.com?

Well i was going to do a special feature of one of my better blonde moment but i think that i will have to save that for another blog. I hope I haven't depressed everyone too much!!

24/11/2007 - Engage Brain

Good Saturday morning to you all!

I have been a bit ditsy this week; let me tell you a little story.

I have a DVD player in my bedroom which will only play region 2 (UK) DVDs; I have tried without sucess to make it multi-regional but I have never been able too. its not really a problem as our DVD player downstairs is multi-region so I just watch my US DVDs down there.

Here's the story....

There has been barely any of the tv I watch on this week so I thought that I would watch some of my Angel box set that I just recieved. So there I am I stil down in my bedroom and get all into Angel watching about 3 episodes in a row; I was on I will remember you (Buffy goes to LA Angel become human episode) quite caught up in it when Nathan comes home and says Linda your watching Angel. to which my reply was yes and your point is.... He said Linda its a region 2 dvd player it shouldn't play Angel. To which my brain actually engaged and I realised that I had spent the last 3 hours watching somehting that technically shouldn't work. So then after lots of testing with my other region 1 dvds and then various region 2 dvds i discover that it is in fact multi-region! I just didn't engage my brain and was having what I call a blonde moment even tho I'm a brunette!

Ok that was way funnier if you were here but hey its my blog so I can ramble about what I wish!

Managed to annoy the housemate today! oopps! We asked when he was going out and he siad not for about an hour so Nathan said thats enough time for you to do the washing up in, he said no and he wasn't pleased when I told him that I wouldn't cook him dinner unless he did the washing up as he has avoided it all week and Nathan has had to do it. (I'm rather particular and like the washing up to be done every evening) So he got in a strop, he did it but he was playing extremely loud music to show he was moody to which I covered up with Pink Floyd (who wouldn't!) He then left without saying a word to us. Oopps! I don't really mind he is the most opinionated person I know and he is always saying horrible little comments to me about things I like (tv etc) and things I do and I never say anything but its really starting to get to me so I'm standing up for myself which is a good thing. He won't accept that people can like and enjoy things he doens't like. I may not like football but i acknowledge that other people enjoy it even if I don't.

Ok rant over.

Having a bit of a busy weekend, have a lot of Kleeneze to do and also we are going to go see August Rush tomorrow which I am really looking forward to! Gotsome sewing to do before we leave.

Sorry it a tad of a monay blog but sometimes you just have to let it all out.....

22/11/2007 - Smoothies, Interviews and Box Sets!

Hello all on this fine Thursday!

I'm in a chipper mood right now so lets get going.....

TV Stuff:

As far as tv goes this week most of my shows haven't aired or are later on in the week.

Nip/Tuck: I quite enjoyed this weeks episodes, Dawn is my fav reoccuring character. I was dissapointed that we had no more news on Matt and Kimber as I thought that could turn out to be quite interesting. I really can't stand Sean's daughter (i'm having a sever mental blog right now and can't for the life of me remember her name). Personally I don't find the actress very good but then I'm not a fan of children actors I personally only think there are very few who are any good and believable. Got a bit sietracked there! Anways I like the Christian storyline this week, that nun had some huge......

House: I can'tr believe he got fired he was my favourite! House sucks! Well actually no I love the show but I had to adjust a bit when watching this episode as I have been watching Season 3 with my other half as we just recieved it. Also I am rather slow and only just made the connection this week that No 13 I recognise because she played Alex in the OC. Silly me!

CAlifornication: this is on UK TV tonight. Can't wait.

Also i didn't watch it but England lost the football match last night so I get almost a whole years peace from hearing the words 'but England are playing'. So yay!

Film Stuff:

We have been terrible this week i going to the cinema infact I don't think we have gone for about 2 weeks But I'm excited about a film which opens tomorrow night here called August Rush. I really want to see it and it happens to have one of the child actors in who can actually act! Look alot like my kind of movie I just hope it doesn't make me cry in the cinema!

Life Stuff:

Where to start!

I had a good day for recieving things today. My X-Files box set came today Big YAY! I'm thinking about selling my X-Files videos on eBay but i'm not sure if its worth it. I had a look and no-one has what I would be offering listed. I'll ask the other half.

And in other good news today i recieved free smoothies from Innocent Smoothies! Which is very exciting! I had a gone off smoothie so I emailed them saying that I loved there product but I had had one which wasn't quite right so they apologised and sent me one of all of there flavours in the post! Very nicwe of them I feel as they are yummy!

Think thats about enough for now except that I have rediscovered my love for teh game Insanaquarium its fantastic fun and about as much game wise that my mind lets me do!

TV.com Stuff:

For me I have had quite aneventful time of tv.com recently I did a lot of subs at the beginnning of the week causing me to move up2 levels in one go! Something that hasn't happened in ages. I've been trying to get all of my guide up to scratch and perfect. It takes quite a while! considering for most of them I have had to add episodes from scratch so then i have to add cast and crew etc for each eppy. Not too much of a problem but time consunming.

I haven't been very active on the forums recently there is no particular reason fo rthis except I find that I always end up saying the same things over and over in different threads. Espically since the writers strike. I must try and contribute a bit more to the forum side of things.

Well thats all folks, I hope everyone in the US has a good thanksgiving.

19/11/200 - My Weekend

Good monday morning to everyone!! Not much to report really. It pretty much rained solidly here all weekend so we stayed inside not really doing much.

Tv Stuff:

Tv wise i haven't watched much since my last blog. Well not anything new anyway. We got House season 3 finally after pre-ordering it ages ago so Nathan and I have watched quite a lot of that as he hasn't seen it but I have. Its still good but I can see myself getting confused when i go back to watching season 4!

Californication: Can't really remember much about this weeks episode so it can't have been that good!!

Secret Diary of a Call Girl: I believe this was the finale. I really enjoyed it as an episode but I only found out it was the finale when I went on the ITV site to see when the next episode aired. It didn'tfeel like a finale as there wasn't much closure. I hope that this show gets another season.

Ghost Whisperer: I liked this weeks episode; another stand alone. I don't mind the stand alones but I would like to find out more about the big story line.

Desperate Housewives: No episode this week

Film Stuff:

Ice Princess; I watched this because I wanted to see Hayden Panettiere in something different. I was pleasanlty suprised, I even like Michelle Trachenburg in this film. It was a very happy feeling movie and i can't wait to watch more ice skating dramas!!

We haven't been to the cinema in ages but we might go today.

Life Stuff:

Nothing to report really. Still jobless, still bored!

Tv.com Stuff:

As for tv.com I have had a good weekend of submitting for me! I have no idea how much i did on friday or saturday but yesterday I did 154 subs enough to take me well into level 30! Which i am pleased about. I'm going to try and do some more today as i forgot how nice it was when you changed levels! I think in the grand scheme of things i will try and get to level 50 and then slow down again and not do much. We will have to see!

Thats all for today!! Have a good monday everyone!
