  Farewell

  Just a short time ago, I toyed around with the idea of leaving completely, but ultimately decided to stay in a limited role. Last night, I changed my mind and have decided to leave. I've retired from the remainder of the guides I was editor of, so I'm outta here. I certainly wish everyone well; there are some great people here.

  I'm not getting much done

  CSI: Miami aired their last episode for the season last night, and I finished up the recap for it this morning. The episode was a little above average, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping for.
  
  With the fall season over for the most part, we've got summer programming on its way in the next few weeks. I'm only looking forward to a couple of shows (and just one new show), so it could be a fairly boring summer around my house.
  
  I contacted missribs about getting a few of my retired guides back, and was surprised when I was told it's permanent. I swear I heard someone got a guide back a few months ago. Oh well, no big deal.
  
  I didn't do much here yesterday, just submitted a few reviews I wrote a few months ago and never submitted them. I'm not expecting to submit too much today, either.

  An opinionated bunch

  Within ten minutes of writing a review for last night's episode of CSI, the season finale, I already had two "I do not agree" votes, lol. The season finale seems to have garnered a very split vote of people. Many say it was great, and many others say it was fairly mediocre. I'm somewhere in the middle on the issue; it's nowhere near the season five finale. Take a look at the other reviews. It's impossible to write a review without someone agreeing or disagreeing with you. I've never seen this with other episodes of the series... very bizarre.
  
  Anyway, CSI: Miami has one new episode left this year. They decided to be different and put out 25 episodes while the other shows in the franchise did 24...
  
  On another subject, retiring from several of those shows a few weeks ago was a mistake. I've found no change in my activity of submissions. I'm still submitting to those shows; the staff is just having to approve them now.
  
  Also, I recently hit 17,000 accepted submissions and 600 reviews.
