  Here we go...

  Well school is starting again tomorrow which I'm not too happy about...mainly because I'm used to doing nothing (Xmas!) plus I don't wanna learn pages upon pages of history. Why I chose to do it I'll never know.

  On a lighter note I've started watching the programme Weeds which I would recommend to most people, it's brilliant. Hilarious, shocking and imo fairly realistic. Yeah I've gone out and bought season 2 after getting the first as a xmas present. Go watch it if you haven't. ER started on Sunday night and a not so shocking death (My fault for looking at the spoilers) occurred. It was done well and I still can't belief this is it's 15th and final season.

  Grey's Anatomy started up last night and it was good...the icy ending was pretty strange but left us hanging I guess. I was glad that Cristina told Meredith to shut up...am I the only one who finds Derek irritating? Over xmas I watched the British series Early Doors which is a half an hour comedy - it was really good. Set in a pub and all the characters were funny in their own way.

  Since I'm TV obsessed I'm just waiting for many shows to return from xmas break - Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Bones, Cold Case....SKINS is coming! Come in 22nd of Jan I'm waiting. Hopefully it's still good. Think I mentioned this but watched an Effy/Pandora clip on E4 site which I liked - maybe I'm biased cos I love the show too much?

  Got an Xbox 360 which I'm really enjoying...maybe too much of a distraction. Plus my dog Sox is going mental these days...oh well. Need to start writing again...

  New Skins!

  Just thought I had to write about how I can't wait until season three of skins which is coming to E4 at the end of Jan. Just had a look at the website and it just reminded me how much I loved the first two seasons and the characters look just as good this time around. Effy was always great back in the first two, Pandora was really funny in 2.07 so I'm glad she's back. The newbies including twins and a guy called JJ sound entertaining.

  Skins never disappointed me - I have a feeling it never will. I hope this is the case. Any Skins fans like me out there?

  More Thoughts

  Just I'd write about a few of my Thoughts on TV at the moment.

  Firstly, Desperate Housewives, I have to say that I think it has remained brilliant after the strike but I just watched the two part finale last night and I think I preferred season threes closing episodes. I'm going to re-watch it on C4 when it airs, so I'll know for sure in my review. The five year jump at the end was really interesting, probaly my favourite part of the episode. Bones has been really, really good lately. I've even said that Brennan is perhaps one of my favourite TV show characters ever. The latest episode I saw 'The Verdict In The Story' was excellently written, great twist at the end.

  Brothers and Sisters, I actually am really enjoying the second series, much more than the first. With Justin's addiction coming to a head, Kitty and Roberts wedding approaching (Next episode for me) and Sarah's battle for her kids, its been really entertaining. I haven't been able to watch Six Feet Under in a few months due to the DVD being faulty, hopefully I'll be able to get a new one soon. The episode 'That's My Dog' has to be a season four highlight so far.

  The ER finale was good, didn't feel very finale like but the cliff-hanger end was a good one, who's dead after the ambulance accident? Ugly Betty has been a very on/off show for me, sometimes I like, sometimes I hate it. But from the episode 'Odour In The Court' onwards, it is starting to get good again. The episode I mentioned but one of the funniest of the entire series.

  One Tree Hill was brilliant before the strike with 'You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side' and 'Hundred'. These just were exactly why I watch the series, seemed real and believable. But then it suffered a massive drop with the next episode, which basically was an hour of boring talk and soppiness.

  Like to mention the Skins series two finale, which I loved. I'm a huge fan so I bought the DVD the day after it came out. Doctor Who has been great this series, have loved Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, hilarious. The latest episode 'The Unicorn and The Wasp' was great, really funny. Lost has been pretty average, imo. I'm starting to tire of the story, I'm losing interest.

  YAY, I finished for the summer yesterday and can finally get down to some new box sets I've bought (I know .....how sad) I'm half way through Gilmore Girls season one, which I'm liking. I then have, Dead Like Me season one, Veronica Mars season one and a show called The Dead Zone to test. Along with series two and three of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, a lot of House episodes and I plan on re-watching all my other collections. Plus, Grey's anatomy is back! Starts on RTE two on the 3rd of June, I have seen some of these episode, but not for ages, so I can't wait!

  So these are my views, my summer isn't going to just consist of TV but I'm gonna watch as much as I can until school restarts!
