Looks like another soggy Halloween. Poor kids are gonna have a horrible time Trick'R'Treating in this. I think there are 3 days of the year it should be forbidden to rain: Halloween, Christmas, and Canada Day.
*Also the Marijuana March for those inbibed.

It's the worst when you're a kid; one time I dressed up as a robot or something and all the cardboard fell apart. It's just not as festive with peoples' decorations keeling over, pumpkins going unlit, and only half as many candy-hunters running through puddles toting umbrellas and galoshes.

Even a scary dark coat looks silly when it's made of rubber.

Not to mention poor pubescent Pete; he wanted to take his highschool sweetie to the cemetary for some hot grave action and now she's got a perfect excuse not to go: "I don't want to lie on the wet grass." ***k-blocked!

FYI, this video is hilarious. Avril Lavigne teaches safe sex 70s $tyle.

I bet the Exorcist Demons and the Michael Myers of the world take one look outside and say "Gee, it's just not as scary in a yellow raincoat, I guess I'll take this year off." OH: Maybe that's why "Halloween 2" came out in August!

Speaking of which, if Jason Voorhes only attacks on Friday October the 13th, why the heck are there so many kids at summer camp in the middle of October?

I guess the only Halloweeners undetered by the morbid weather are Linus and Sally, eagerly awaiting their glorious gourdly deity in all his imaginary splendor.

Oh, and on a show-that-will-not-be named they had the freakiest Obama mask; It haunts my dreams now. Who would want to dress up as a political leader for Halloween?

AHHH!! Grinning glossy-eyed madness! Take it away, take it away!

Anyways, Happy Halloween!

My Top Ten Favorite Current* Series

*On Hiatus/Airing/Returning/Status Unknown with at least two completed seasons (the true test, IMO, should actually be three seasons, but I'll only be left with a top six)

10. 24
09. Chuck
08. Damages
07. Lost
06. House
05. Criminal Minds
04. In Treatment
03. Dexter
02. Spooks (aka MI-5)
01. Breaking Bad

Quick Notes: I'll probably add more of my thoughts (and links to guides) later. Apart from the usual reasons for loving a show (i.e. captivating dialogue, brilliant acting, unique and entertaining characters, interesting storylines, etc.), I noticed overlapping/similar elements among my favorites --

• protagonist leading a double life (1, 2, 3, 9, maybe 10)
• my love for spy stories (Alias is on my top 10 shows of all-time; one of my favorite cartoons: Spy vs. Spy -- yes, I'm that literal; although I'm not much into Bond -- James Bond, not S&M bond, not that I'm into that either!)
• non-scifi/fantasy (except for Lost, which makes this show special for me)
• preference for serialized over non-serialized/procedural shows
• dark, disturbing (sometimes depressing) dramas (which makes Chuck special, and Friends too!)
• not sure if this is relevant... no voiceovers/narration (except for Dexter and quotes from Criminal Minds)
  

Supernatural would've made it if their S1-S3 had the same quality as S4/S5 (reverse scenario for The Office). Medium, Big Love, Grey's Anatomy, and comedies TBBT, 30 Rock, HIMYM are somewhere in the Top 20 (I haven't really thought this through).

Among the 10, I'd say it's only In Treatment that is hard to recommend. It's just a psychotherapist and a patient (five different cases per season/one per day of the week) talking for about 20+ minutes every episode. No special effects. No non-stop action. Not much camera movement. And yet it's still one of the most engrossing TV series I've seen in years. I've actually seen both seasons twice, and I fell in love with the show even more after the second screening.

If you're into NCIS, Alias, The Unit, and 24, I highly recommend Spooks. Just don't check their IMDB listing during the course of watching the series. You'll regret it if you do. Breaking Bad is Weeds on meth (not that I've tried the stuff)! Bryan Cranston winning back-to-back Emmys (as Glenn Close did for Damages) is no fluke. All the rest, I assume you're familiar with.

Which among the ones above make it to your current top 10? Enjoy the coming weekend, everyone!

So I have barely been on this site during the summer because I've been busy with work. I worked at a summer camp and had long hours. Honestly, it was the best summer I've ever had.

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

Level 53 - 12 % - 8542 subs - 18576 profile views

Hey guys!

I'm finally Level 22 "Freak and Geek"! After a couple of months doing nothing but posting on boards

***

Summer is sadly fading away here. We'll be back in school on June 9.

And I just found out that I (once again) will not be with my closest friends.

Last year, I was all sad because I won't be able to spend the year with my best friend CL. But I found great and sometimes greater friends in Vivien and Karla.

This year, I'm finally with CL but without Vivien and Karla.

That simply sucks.

I tried out last year with a sore note and ended with a pretty high one.

I guess it'll be the same damn thing.. only harder.

The thing is, in our school we can choose to move to another clas$ but.. my dad told me I couldn't. Because, since I am second in our batch that I hate to be in the top clas$ With Number One and Number Three.

Somethimes, I wonder what would happen if I wasn't Number Two and just had an average rank.

I'll just keep on wondering. I don't want to disappoint my parents. But I end up disappointing myself.

***

Anyways, I just have to face the blues. It's life.

I hope I do good this year but I mostly hope things will get better somehow.

Wish me luck. *hugs*

I just posted the news that TNT has renewed The Closer for its fourth season (yee-ha!) and what did I notice but it was post 17,000.

SEVENTEEN THOUSAND POSTS?

Lordy.

So I have just finally cracked the 500 accepted submissions mark, which I feel is a pretty decent acheivement seeing how I have been here only 3 months now. I have had 500 submissions for awhile now but I mean I don't think denied should really count. It's a bit odd how you get the rocket ship icon as soon as you hit 500. I mean they could all be denied and you would still get it.

I'm looking at picking up a few more people guides down the track. So far I have 3 and I'm trusted on 1 which is pretty good. I'm not gonna try and get a show editorship. It would be too much work cos all the shows I really love are big popular ones. Plus it would be way to much responsibility.

Onto the new submission system.

Looks like it has been active for about the last few hours. First problem is that when you go to submit trivia it ends up in the quotes section, and quotes end up in the trivia section. Come on guys who tested this system out! I can get around this on my own guide by simply clicking on the incorrect button but I'm definetly not going to submit stuff on someone elses guide. It will just end up screwing the editors around.

I like the fact that the points on the guides go up as you submit but it seems that you only get 1 point for a person guide unlike the 2 points you used to get.

Also if you're an editor, all your submissions result in inbox messages telling you that you're sumbission has been accepted. Dah! I'm an editor, it's called auto acceptance.

Well it is very early days so hopefully they will get on top of these bugs.

Well, just about to finish my second week back at RMIT for 2007 and i have to say, I really love holidays! Unfortunately, they're over for another year. You really get used to not having a routine. I suppose it could be worse...I could be going back to school!

Just trying to put my copious amounts of television watching to good use. Being in the process of immigrating, I can't work. This allows me a lot of spare time to take in more than my fair share of tv. I have a few shows I can't live without, and the others are often background noise.

After a long, long time at level 51, I've finally been knocked down to my proper level. Finally, all is as it should be.

Also did something I never thought I'd do - I retired from editorship of a show. I haven't watched a single full episode of The Footy Show all year (not because I'm not interested, I simply don't have the time), so I didn't see the point in staying on as editor.

Also, perhaps now that Aussie Big Brother is finished for another year, I can dedicate some time to updating my other three shows, all of which I am way behind with.
