HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY STUUUDOOOGG, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUU!!
PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
*Sings* Shake shake shake....ahhhh.....shake shake shakkkkkke.....shake your booootyyy
I am so cute.
Anyywayy, on with the celebrations!!!
mmmm! Gimme!
Healthy pizza....I swear it's healthy...the website told me so!!
Whoopsie, how did that get in there?
Mmmm!! Oh wait, I said that already.
Anywayyyy, enough partying....gift time!!! Woohoo!! Close your eyes, spin around three times, open your eyes. What was the point of that? My amusement!!!
Here ya go chickita, your gifts from your special (yeah you know I'm special) newbie!!!!
Part One:
I gotted ya some special one of a kind, unique, just for my stu, you only, nobody else (
) gift vouchers (certificates, cards, whatever you call 'em)...
(Yeah, I totally made this one before the redesign and it's like your own little piece of history...yeah okay, I admit it, I lost the "pimp my profile" font that I made and couldn't make a new voucher with the new site in the background
I rock!)
mmmm stubiehuggles.
'Cause....you know you're gonna need these.
Damn Vista...I know, I know. 
Bud wallpaper? No problem!!
So, that's part one of your gift. 12 vouchers. Good number. Nice and even. Pretty when you type it out. Twelve. (What?? I'm sleep deprived...yeah I'm writing this the night before but still
)Part two requires a little journey with me.
Cast your mind back a few weeks. You're jonesing for salad, I'm like "you freak" (you loff me), you're telling me you need new recipes and I'm like "BADINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG IDEA" (you didn't know about the idea...)
Follow me to the second part of your gift...
Your very own Salad recipe book: Saladsforstu.blogspot.com
It's a work in progress....as we find more salads for you I'll add them so you have somewhere to go when you're all outta ideas...but I've started it off for you & you should have enough to last you a few days! Enjoy babe!!
Mwah!
Have a superduperduperwooperfluperduper Birthday! I'll be around later to make sure you're having the bestest birthday EVER!!
Oh and stu? Remember how I've been teasing you for a few days about asking staff to make a site blog for your birthday...
Well...
Yeah, I didn't really do it (I'm not ready to die yet) but if I had done, it woulda looked something like this (click to expand):
Much Loff!
Mwah!! Birthday kisses!

Digg thisThe letter 'A' - Duplicate Guides
Hi All,
Just reposting a post that I made in the duplicates union board here so that the people who aren't looking at the board every day still see it..
As we now have the ability to view all people whose name begins with a certain letter, I've started to work through and look for duplicate listings. I'm currently working through all people whose names begin with the letter A (what's 333 pages of people in the grand scheme of things? ). I'll try and avoid anything that I think anyone else is already dealing with...I'll post them in the union forum and if nobody claims them, I can go back and fix them.
If anyone else is already working on A (which I don't think they are from what I can see) let me know and I'll switch to another letter!
Newbie.

Hola All!
I'm back from my vacation, doing some catching up on TV.com between the real life stuff that has to be done (laundry....woohoo!
)
Hope you've all been good while I've been gone! I've responded to any comments that I missed last Friday on my previous blog (so if you commented in the last week....your response will be there now
)
To anyone who has posted in the thread in the User to User forum - I'll add your updates to the main thread as soon as I can (probably tomorrow) - I want to catch up on the fixes/updates from the last week before I make any changes to the thread so that I can fix everything in one go.

It's Vacation Time!
Hi All,
Just a quick note to let you know that I'll be away on vacation for a week between Sept 19th and Sept 26. You may hear from me during that time if I'm able to log in, but if the site won't work on my phone I'll see you in a week's time!
I fully expect you to be horrible to the staff (I kid, I kid!) and get them to make the new site super by the time I return!
For anyone having trouble with the new layout, you may want to check out the thread that I have created in the User to User forum with a few tips for navigating through the site, and the change (the tv.com change that is...). It's a work in progress but the basics are up and I hope it helps! If you have feedback, I'll be around tonight and tomorrow morning (GMT) so I can make changes to the thread before I go...after that I'll pick up any new comments when I return and will make the appropriate changes to the thread.
One last comment before I leave...just remember...the new TV.com is nowhere near as bad as the new facebook!! There is always a silver lining my friends!!
I shall leave you with a little music: All Along the Watchtower - BT4/Bear McCreary.
Have a great week...behave yourselves!

The Palindrome
Hola All!
How goes it? Are we all fine and dandy today? Let's have a little TV.com related blog for a change, shall we?
If you glance over to the right you will notice that my total submission number is now a pretty palindrome: 10001. Yep, that's right, I broke that 10,000 mark & it is now official...I need to get out more.
For my efforts, I now have an extra little emblem:
The breakdown of my 10,001 subs:
There have been a lot of duplicate guide fixing subs in there, lots of episodes of The Today Show and my numerous other "fixer-upper" guides - I'm a sucker for the fixer-uppers.
My subs have been spread across:
751 shows
1214 people
My first sub was to Karri Turner on Feb 12, 2006 and my last was to The Today Show on Sep 9, 2008.
My submission history contains 501 pages worth of subs.
Exciting huh?
Submission Spree:
A few of you know that I do lots of Duplicate Guide type work. My latest submission spree, however, is not directly dealing with Duplicate Guides. I've been trying to fix all those guides which only have the forename for a person and are often used for five or six different people (generally reality TV Shows whose official sites often only list first names in the cast lists).
I've spent the last couple of days fixing up the cast lists for a couple of shows which had around 20 cast members between them who were listed under only their forename. I'm working my way through some more guides now and I'm determined to beat the problem of single name only guides.
It takes a lot of investigation and beating my head against the wall, but it's really satisfying to know that I'm making sure the credits for those six people sharing one guide are split up correctly. Of course...I'm also finding duplicates as I do these fixes...I'll never escape them.
TV.com problems:
In other TV.com news, there are a lot of problems being experienced with the search functionality currently. There seem to be two main problems; The first being that some users are unable to search for anything at all in the main site search. The second problem being that users are unable to search for newly created IDs.
TheOldBill has some great hints and tips in his most recent blog which may assist with people experiencing the new person search problems.
Anyway, I think I've bored you enough for today with my TV.com stuff, so hop along, visit other blogs! Enjoy your evening/night/morning wherever you are and whatever you are doing!

As the song is at the end of the album I didn't really listen to it properly the first few times the album was on. By the time I got to that point in the album it was background music. However, the first time I listened to the song without other distractions I found that it's a really great song, very catchy! Since then it's the first song I listen to from the album rather than the last.

Three Days Grace are a great band and I find that the more I listen to them, the better they get.

I first heard this song in the background of a tv related music video and straight away I knew I had to find out what song it was. It's a very versatile song, it can be listened to when driving, as background music, when listening is the only thing you are doing....a great song.

In my opinion Father's son is the best song on this album.
