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!

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!!

I loved this show!! In the first 4 episodes it had everything I wanted from a show! It even had Nathan Fillion! But we yet again get struck down by shows being prematurly cancelled before we get a chance to love them. I loved the basic storyline of a group of people travelling across amaerica to win X amount of money. The cast did the roles justice and I think that it pulled together very well. i got hooked and I was very dissapointed when I reached the end of the 4th episode to be left on a cliff hanger with no hope of conclusion. I will be eagerly awaiting the return to our screens for the one off on July 4th!

Crossroads (2001)
Avg Score: 6.22    Total Ratings: 13    Total Reviews: 1
When this show was on television it was my guilty pleasure that I got to watch daily. No-one knew that I watched it. I enjoyed the drama, the setting in a hotel appealed to me most soaps are based around an area; Corrie, Eastenders, neighbours but Crossroads being based around a hotel appealed to me. We go to see a not necessarily accurate running of a hotel and everything that happened behind the scenes. The cast were well chosen and they all appealed to me for differernt reasons the way they interated was brilliant. For a soap this didn't live a very long life but I still loved ever minute.

Yet another British Comedy to hit our screen for a few weeks and then disappear of the face of the planet. This was a show along the lines of the American show 'Less Than perfect' yet it had British wit and humour. Jessica Stevenson was very good in the lead, however this show was probably the low point of her career. The idea was good but it just didn't seem to fan out right. Perhaps it was just at the wrong time for a show like that to hit our television screens. Either way its worth a watch once even if you forget it two minutes later.

I randomly stumbled across this on the web and I have to say that it is actually quite informative. Every weekday morning the top 9 websites on the web are presented my Maria Sansone. A range of websites are covered from sites voted by the public to random video sites that her team has found. Personally for me one of the only downsides about this ‘show’ is that every single day they end on pictures of cute and fluffy animals, which are cute the first couple of time but not when you watch it regularly. I would recommend watching it once a week, its only 5 minutes and there are actually some good websites show and some quite amusing ones as well!

Celebrity Ready, Steady, Cook
Avg Score: 5.81    Total Ratings: 11    Total Reviews: 2
As a fan or Ready, Steady, Cook the Celebrity version isn't too terrible. You get a nice range of different meals cooked every week which can give you ideas for your own meals. It’s always interesting seeing the meals that chef's come up with. Personally for me the fact that there are celebrities cooking with the chef's doesn't really make me want to watch the show more, except when they get things wrong! Either way it is a good show to have on in the background whilst doing other things as it doesn't require your full attention. Would recommend it for a harmless half an hour of television.

About Me

 
lindauk
Time for a little bit of a longer 'About Me' section I think. Well Hi all, my name is Linda and I'm a 21 year old from the UK. I have a few serious interests one of them being TV (obviously!), I also love films and spend quite a lot of time reading and listening to music. As far as my tv tastes go they are quite varied. My all time favourite shows are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, X-Files and Angel and Friends and Twin Peaks (ok most of the shows I watch are my all time favs!). Currently I am into a lot of american drama's such as Lost, Heroes, Ghost Whisperer, Desperate Housewives, Veronica Mars and more! As far as books are concerend will read most things but I like a lot of 'Chic' books (romantic novels); and as for films I will watch any film once! I am creative and I love scrapbooking. Um i think that's me I don't think there is anything else that people need to know, what to know more just ask!

This is my first attempt at making an AMV; my first time using Movie Maker as well. It is probably not the best there is.
