Well this is my Blog. I try to write one daily, but I might not always be able to do so. I hope you enjoy it.

  June 27th 09 - First results

  So from the four exams I had so far, I failed one, passed one and think I did well in the two others. I'm supposed to study for the next one already, but somehow I'm not motivated enough currently.
  So things are pretty mixed around here.

  Staff finally is fixing stuff around here. I'm expecting great things from the new cast/crew submission form. It almost sounds too good to be true! I really hope we won't see any new major bugs due this - but then again this is tv.com...

  I'm planning an incredible expensive three day trip in the end of September - mainly to go and see a concert. Not sure yet if will happen, as I don't wanna go alone and have yet to find anyoneto share the trip with.
  Interesting is that flight prices are as low as never before. Especially if you wanna fly business cla$$ It's like 10 bucks more than a regular ticket currently!

  I've not been watching a lot of TV, but I love the new BBC series Personal Affairs! It's excellent and has such a hot cast!
  Sadly the series has only five episodes.
  
  Then I started with the second season of The Girl from Tomorrow, something I wanted to do for a very long time now. The first recap is in as well.

  June 17th 09 - Halftime

  I'm not much around anymore these days, simply because of my exams. Today was the longest one, took the entire day. Tomorrow will already be the next one. I'm really freaking out about the one from tomorrow, simply because the one tomorrow is the most important one and I feel unprepared. However I'm so tired right now, I can't study more, I can't go to bed yet, so I write a blog.

  The site finally fixed the submission history. At this pace, we'll be bug free at the year 3000!!

  Well lets talk about TV for a moment. I'm barely watching anything these days, but I'll try to catch up after tomorrow.
  
  I still owe you guys the last recap of The Hills. I'll get on to it this weekend.
  
  Hotel Babylon returns for a fourth season this Friday. The banner the show received is highly interesting, because I don't recognize a single character on it!!

  iTunes suddenly wants to "update" my music to DRM free music. I might do that, as I don't know how long that DRM will be supported by Apple... What I think is shocking is that they want money for such an update. What I consider more interesting though is that I can't update all my music - about five albums are no longer available on iTunes. The music companies always complain not to sell enough anymore these days, but when still more than half of the music I listen to isn't available on iTunes (or similar service), I'm honestly not surprised!! They claim not to have licensed such music for my country, but heck, when you don't offer it, nobody will buy it!! With the internet we have become a global village - act accordingly!

  June 1st 09 - Is it the end?

  So I enjoyed a day off (public holiday here where I live) before I start to work full time for the next two months starting tomorrow.
  Especially June will be a difficult month, with exams and work ahead. I have planned basically every minute of it already. That's also why I decided not to ask the girl out (what I wrote in my last blog) - simply, because I couldn't fit it into my schedule!! It's seriously a sad story! Maybe I have a chance when this month is over... maybe. Maybe I missed my chance, who knows...

  I'm receiving a lot of subs these days. However I have a problem with most of them. For example I receive a cast submission. Nice, 12 people added or so, then I go and watch the episode myself as well and see that there are two people missing. I still accept the 12 cast people, but I'm annoyed that I have to go and edit the cast list myself. It's actually more work to figure out who's missing than to compile it entirely. Still I don't want to reject a good submission. It's just eye catching how often exactly that happens (with many different people submitting!)...

  For Robin Hood some people are really upset apparently, because they don't agree with the tv.com rules. They want the official BBC episode summaries listed at any cause. The best attempt is (comment) "this is not from the BBC!". Aha. I google it anyways, guess what the first hit is? 100 points for you if you guessed the BBC website!

  Last night the season 5 finale of The Hills aired (it will be repeated today, sorry that I originally put it up for today in the guide! I guess it's a nice episode, but nothing outstanding.
  I'm really surprised that the series will go on in fall without Lauren. I mean how desperate is MTV to continue a show when the main cast member is gone? I know MTV is struggling financially, but if this will be a success to earn some money? Sure so far the show has been the most successful in the station's history, still...

  I reduced my TV watching to a minimum. About one episode a day in average these days. Still I barely find time to study properly...
  
  I hoped Secret Diary of a Call Girl would return this summer, but it looks like it will be the end of the year till it returns.
  
  The new Doctor Who companion was revealed. With a new doctor, I actually might tune into that show again.
  
  Torchwood is around to start again, so is Weeds. Weeds really has to improve over the last season or I seriously consider stop watching.

  What else is there? With the semester being over and many friends leaving for the summer, I'm somewhat alone here... I plan to sign up for a gym to at least stay fit over the summer. I wonder how long I can keep it up to actually go.
  
  This blog is getting long... and I hope not boring
