This was the best vacation I've taken...and honestly the experience had nothing to do with the cruise, visiting Mexico or any of the fun stuff I did during the week. The best part was the flight home. To make a long story short my friend and I got bumped from our 12:20pm flight and had to take a later flight from Los Angeles, CA to Vancouver, B.C. For taking the later flight (4pm) the airline gave us a FREE round-trip ticket for the airline, each, good for one year. We can fly ANYWHERE the airline goes. Wicked. But even better, if we had not had that problem and gotten bumped to the later flight I would never have met the 2 actors who were on our flight.

My friend saw the first one in the airport terminal when she went to get us some water (while I waited with our stuff). I saw her come speedwalking back to me about 3 min after she left with the most excited look on her face. She tells me she just bumped into (insert actor name here) and as she was describing to me what he was wearing, I spotted him too and said "oh like that guy?" and there he was! A few seconds later it dawned on me, "omg, he works in Vancouver right now and is probably heading back and will be on our flight!!!" Then a bit later my friend once again spotted another actor and said "isn't that that guy from Veronica Mars?". I saw him and went yup that's him!

We got bumped up to first class as well for all our trouble and when we got on the plane we discovered that the two actors were right next to us in the next aisle. We spent almost 3 hours with them right there. My friend Corrine and I finally managed to get up the courage to speak to them and got autographs and photos. The two actors are Ken Marino and *drum roll please*... Jensen Ackles. Ken Marino is most known as being Vinnie, the sleazy private eye on Veronica Mars (a recurring role) and right now he's playing demon neighbor Tony on Reaper. Jensen of course is most known for Supernatural, and previously Dark Angel and Smallville. Both guys were amazing, very kind and funny. Very amused by us goofy fangirls.

Ken was even more amazing, came over to chat with us during the flight, let us take a photo of him and my friend Corrine, and even hanging out with us in the terminal AFTER the flight. We chatted a bit and he only wanted to talk about us. What a sweetheart. Now that's not to say Jensen wasn't a total sweetheart too, we just didn't want to bug him as much, plus I was totally freaked out and nervous (as you'll be able to see by the photo below - it's kinda blurry cuz I was shaking!). He was very gracious and kind even though he seemed very tired. Now I must comment that he is even more gorgeous in person, beautiful even. Just as tall as you'd think and his eyes practically sparkle. No joke. Wow. That made my day, and definitely made the vacation a million times better. Oh and yeah Mexico was awesome too!

I haven't had time to log into the site from home in over 5 days. I tried this morning and BAM! it worked immediately. Cool. Dunno if "it's fixed" or just a fluke for today but great!

Please note I'll be on vacation from this Sunday, April 13 till Sunday April 20th. Back online on Monday April 21st. Going on a cruise to Mexico for a week. I've never been there and I'm soooo excited, it should be amazing.

I spoke too soon. On Friday March 14 when I tried to get on the site from home it didn't work again. I tried again this morning (March 19th) and it couldn't log on again. I came to work and just logged on now, and no problems. *shakes head* This is very frustrating, does anyone know how to fix it? Or does it eventually correct itself?

So since moving, I'm now using a new home computer (my roommate's) and everytime I try to log into TV.com I'm getting a GATEWAY TIMEOUT error message. Since moving on March 1 and getting internet on March 4, I've logged successfully into TV.com from the new home computer twice. The first time was no problem but last night when I finally logged in and tried to do approvals in my Queue, it booted me back out with the same error messages. I've asked my online buddy robinepowell to check the site and she's emailed jaxiecracks so far. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I'm able to get onto the site no problem from my work computer. Is there some sort of IP address restriction I'm not aware of? Is the site not recognizing my new home IP? I will post in the Tech Support board as well.

MARCH 13 EDIT: I am logged in from home, yay, it's fixed! Thanks for the comments, glad to know it wasn't just me.

Well I am all moved in, but not unpacked yet. We've had problems getting our phone & cable lines installed and still having problems with the apartment building's buzzer not working (it goes thru the phone line). Internet wasn't hooked up till Monday night and today's the first chance I've had to go online.

In other news today is my birthday, I don't really have any plans yet, other than attempting to leave work early today. Dinner with the family is scheduled for Sunday night, but no plans with the friends yet. Sucks having a birthday on a Wednesday!

Also, thanks very much to the contributors who held off submitting this past weekend. I only have just over 50 subs waiting in my queue.
