Thought I'd go through the list of TV shows I'm currently watching this season. :)

( My TV viewing schedule... )

Been a while since I checked in about the series I'm watching. ;)

( The latest rundown... )

I'm trying not to totally give up on these posts. Really. It's simply that I'm so busy with SPN all the time, it's a little tough to devote any time to the other series I watch.

So here's a little overview of what I'm watching & thoughts about them right now.

( The 14 shows I watch... )

I can see now where I'm incapable of making these posts every day or even every week. Let's just say I'll post when I can or when I have something to say about the shows I've watched.

( Thoughts on LOTS, TAR, & DWTS... )

Normally, there'd be 3 shows to cover tonight, but Lie To Me is off this week due to the World Series. Bummer. *misses show*

( Tonight on Dancing With The Stars & Castle... )

I'm all messed up. Working on organizing our massive DVD collection all Monday does that to me I guess. Then I watched my normal Monday night programs, Dancing With The Stars and the new series Castle. I'm now signed up to vote for DWTS after all these seasons of being just a passive viewer. I have no absolute favorite so far, it's too early. Meanwhile, I liked this episode of Castle even more than the Pilot, though I'm starting to feel as I saw mentioned somewhere that Susan Sullivan's character of his mother seems out of place and unneeded. The daughter's fine, but the mom has to go, I think.

stolenglimpse and I worked together to try and figure out the mystery and confusion surrounding screencaps, aspect ratios, and resolutions. It took some time, but I think we each found answers for our own individual cap problems. Now that's some awesome teamwork! *high fives* \0/ Long story short? I can see now that the resolution for all of my DA caps is off. Yikes. Fixing them isn't a huge deal, but re-posting the new ones is. This is now on my long-term To-Do list. Ugh. :(

Took my walk after 3 days of not walking, but got home & then forgot to post about it. Ooops. So I guess this is my post....after a fashion. Anyway, the weather cleared up long enough for me to take my walk and while it was still cold and a bit blustery, it wasn't too bad. I sure did feel tired once I came home though. I guess missing 3 days had a big effect!

Oh, and thanks to growyourwings's encouragement I added Jim Beaver as a friend on Facebook! And he added me back Monday afternoon! Woot! I went ahead and then added a few of my filmmmaking contacts in the area. I also started looking for other friends, past classmates, filmmaking buddies, etc. One friend led to another friend and so on. I only added a couple of people, but one of them already added me back. I even ended up on MySpace and toyed with joining up there, but I'm not quite ready yet, so I held back on that for now.

Man...I'm so tired right now. I didn't get back to replying to comments *iz bad LJ friend* and now it's time to scramble and get my icon & cap posts up before I rush off to bed. I hope the rest of my Tuesday is a little more...normal?

I'm kinda/sorta bored. Is that possible? Whatever. I realized I've got all these little things to mention or talk about and because I'm lazy...you get them all in one post. :P

But first...it's a random post which means...*drumroll*....you get a cap! I really didn't know what to chose this time, so I went with easy. Both of the boys from the S1 DVD "Day in the Life" extra.



( Ramblings ensue....including a song download & a dream about Dean.... )

After only 3 hours sleep it's back to LJ again. I'm sure I'll feel the lack of sleep later...but hopefully not through Dancing With The Stars tonight.

So nice to turn on the laptop and see a bunch of comments to my SPN Revealed posts. It's a minor miracle I even got those done in time this morning. It took me almost 9 hours to complete both of the episodes. Because I only had a handful of the caps made and ready to go, that meant I had to spend a lot of time fixing the rest of them and then typing up the posts, etc. I'm gonna try not to do that again. I need to get caught up with making and fixing the caps for these things.

I'm still terribly behind in my replies and some other LJ upkeep, so I'm going to concentrate on those today. Big "Hello!" to the new people on my Flist thanks to the Friending Meme over at dean_sam! Another "Hello!" to those of you who've recently friended me for other reasons. *waves* Happy you found your way here and enjoy all the SPN/Jensen goodies. :) I'm not the greatest LJ friend in the world. It's hard for me to always comment on others Livejournals because I'm always posting or prepping for posts, but I try my best. Just know that I do read just about everything on my Flist (time permitting) and I always read all my comments even if it takes me a while to reply back.

Have a good day, everyone. *hugs flist* Only 3 days until this week's airing of "Mystery Spot" and only 10 days until the new eppy!!! :)

Nothing big here, just my little to-do list for the day....sort of. ;)


+ Looked through Flist and will be commenting on a few of them shortly.

+ Wash dishes. Ugh

+ Get caught up with some replies new & old. So if you get some old replies back from me today, you know what's going on. Gotta get these taken care of!!!!

+ Watch Dancing With The Stars at 8:00 Edit: 9:00....ooops. Last night's show was awesome! The guys did pretty well. Especially that actor from Ugly Betty....*guh*....gorgeous arms! Would seriously give Jensen a run for his money in that department. A couple of the other guys did well, too. Tonight...it's the ladies! Should be fun! :)

Edit: Why does my Yahoo! Email keep telling me there's an unread message in my inbox when there isn't one (at least that I can find)? Grrrrr! It's annoying the hell out of me.

Have a good day everyone! *hugs flist*

Another random ramble. Warning: This was done with a fuzzy, sleepy brain (always dangerous...*sigh* When will I learn?).

* The quiz I took yesterday in my Philosophy class was tough! Much more difficult than I anticipated. I really didn't get to study for it because I spent all my time preparing for the online one I took Sunday night. *Sigh* It's not right to have 2 quizzes so close to each other like that when I'm terribly behind in the reading. It was an almost impossible task from the get-go. The Philosophy stuff is tough to get anyway...and that's with a book or notes right in front of you. How am I possibly supposed to memorize all these terms and such. Bah. Anyhow, I did a lot of guessing, which even on multiple choice questions isn't a good thing. I feel I was all over the place with my answers, so I probably didn't do very well. Hopefully I'll do better next time. At least now I'm somewhat caught up in both classes.

* Bought some new jeans on Friday and wore a pair to class yesterday. They fit so much better then the old ones I've been wearing (snug instead of baggy - yay!). Gotta admit, they made me feel kinda sexy. *g*

* Some idiot behind me on the freeway last night was flashing his headlights. He was quite a ways back and I was going the speed limit. Don't know what his problem was, but he was certainly annoying the hell out me. His flickering lights were very distracting. :[

* Came home last night from the college, watched Dancing With The Stars (Carrie Ann was certainly on the warpath! And Len was Mr. Easygoing for once.), then decided to finish capping Shadow. So now it's just sort, fix, select, upload, and post. Seeing as how we're already into this week, I'd look for picspams of Shadow and Skin next week. Don't even ask me what episodes are after those, I'm almost afraid to look. They probably haven't been capped completely yet either. Eeeep!

* On another note...I actually got to some replies to your comments. Yay! Some progress! It's small, but at least it's a start.

* Couldn't help but notice how dead the fandom was over the weekend. Things seem to be picking up again now, but it was sure quiet around here. I made several posts and the response was very light. I don't have a problem with this. I understand people lead busy lives...I'm one of them.

I'm trying not to make a big deal over this, but after getting only a couple of comments to my big review of 3.01, I'm a little...upset. The basics are that I spent all week working on that review, struggling with getting the caps to look good enough. And now my brain is trying to reason out what happened. Why the weak response? Is it that people just missed it because I posted it late on Thursday? Is it because a lot of you haven't seen the episode yet and don't want to be spoiled? Did you actually read the review and didn't like the episode or my review? Please, let me know. *Sigh* I really don't want to come off bitchy here, and I can only hope that I haven't pissed anyone off. It's just to put that amount of work in and have it largely ignored really bothers me.

If this continues to be the trend towards my full reviews I guess I'll just stop doing them and stick with the shorter First Impressions posts. I like doing the full versions, but only if there's an audience for them. Otherwise, what's the point of all that work?

Sorry for the ranting... *hugs flist* I'm going to take my sleepy, frustrated self to bed now...
