I read this week that NBC is NOT going to show Merlin now, due to needing airtime to show more episodes of fat people trying to lose weight. Boo them. Not the fat people–NBC. For anyone wanting to see it, just let me know. :wink2:
In continuing my geekish fandom posts, I’m going to start posting my “Top 5” elements from various fandoms from now until the rest of year. I’d love to see if you share any of them! Check back soon! :elf:
Sean Bean finally returned to Crusoe this week. I’m currently watching on Hulu, and I’m hoping it’s more than the cumulative 3.1 minutes we’ve had so far. The show’s alright, I suppose, but let’s face it–I only watch for Bean. SGA was another skip for me this week. I watched the teaser that showed Shep and Ronon going camping, realized it was the McKay/Keller ep, and promptly deleted it from the DVR. It still boggles my mind how this show managed to go from my #1 to an automatic delete. Wow. As usual, Merlin entertained, even though it was pretty much a filler episode. Some relationships were heightened slightly, so I guess the ep had its merits.
I’ve been using the new WP for a month or so now, and with this newer version, I can use widgets. I could never get them to work properly in the past, and to be honest, I didn’t care if they worked or not. Now, however, you can hardly get through the directory without people calling their code “Plugins” but actually meaning “Widget”. If you can’t run it as a plugin, you shouldn’t call it as such. I think WP needs a separate “Widget” listing. Luckily, some widget authors are willing to help you convert their code to standalone code, such as Peter from AVH Amazon, but most requests go unanswered. There’s a widget that allows you to execute any standalone code, so to be assured that you can use that dandy new thing you’ve found, you’re almost bound to the use of widgets. Grr, and OK. As for the theme, if it won’t load properly, hit the site with a ctrl-f5 and that should do it.
Tuesday and Friday were snow days. Hooray! :cold:
Now that Primeval (which I love, btw) has finished its run and Merlin is wrapping up, Saturdays are going to be terribly boring for a while. Robin Hood isn’t starting anytime soon and I’m dreading the weeks of no new shows to love.
In the last two weeks I managed to live through two school trips unscathed. Score! Ooh, and this morning, I got to have a nice coffee date with my Dad and Jamie. I’m such a sucker for seasonal promotions. I had the Pumpkin Spiced Latte and a Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin–and a lot of fun.
At this point, I think the following people are in love with Lancelot: Me, of course, Merlin, Gwen, Arthur, all the other knights, and pretty much everyone else in Camelot (except Giles..Boo!).
My only worry is, “How do you follow up next week when this week ends?”
Oh, and I’m playing around with the site. I’ve added the theme switcher back if you want to change themes.
