Twitter

Confession: I use Twitter to collect celebrities.

The Internets are Killing Me

Here's my daily problem. I need my computer and the internet to do my work, but I also have no self control and could easily spend all eight hours of my day (oh, right...9 hours because my boss is trying to kill me)reading Popwatch on ew.com. So what do I do? Should I set up a sonic wall so that I only have access to certain things? I can only imagine that I would be able to find something about Britney Spears on whitehouse.gov. I'm afraid it is no use.

Business

I am still at the stage in my life where I find business travel fun. New city! Private hotel room! It is all "free"! Having said that, Dallas at the end of July? While it could possibly be a good time--it is going to be hotter than Hades. I'd rather eat the barbecue, not be the barbecue.

Hmm...

If I turned my blog in to my own personal twitter-- Addicted to It in 140 characters-- would I use it more? Could I call it my twog or my blitter?

Reid or Ed? Who should she choose?

Preparing for the Live Blog

What are topics that you think should definitely be discussed during the live blog session? Expect some polls, a prize here and there, my opinions on the winners and losers and what they are wearing....oh, and commentary on Hugh Jackman. Anything else?

Coming Soon....

Since I have moved and no longer have my trusty gang around for the trivia and prizes- I am going to attempt an evening of live-blogging. I will try to make my comments profound and interesting and not just about Hugh Jackman's chest. We'll see how it works out. I'm not making any promises. And you never know, there may be prizes involved after all.

End of Summer

August used to be a significant month for me for one main reason: school supplies. There is nothing better than fresh notebooks, pens that are really inky, crisp folders. School supplies are at their best when they aren't messed up by actual....school. We used to take a trip to Minnesota at the end of the summer where we would spend a morning at Target gobbling up their supplies. Markers for 59 cents? Three packs, please. Around this time every year I get the itch to take that trip, but now the end of August signifies something different. Something very important. The beginning of new TV. It's the Fall Lineup Folks!

I don't know about you, but here is how I work it. I print out the schedule for each of the major networks (I include The CW--because you never know what guilty pleasure you might miss if you don't) and highlight shows that sound interesting. Then I create a grid, which used to be on a piece of notebook paper, but now has upgraded to a spreadsheet on excel where I plan out the nightly schedule.* Thanks to the beauty of DVR, I have two slots open for every 30 minute block. At the beginning of the season, every slot is filled, but I quickly weed out the shows that are A. bad or uninteresting or B. sit in my DVR for longer than a week unwatched. So, there you go. One of the few reasons I say good riddance to summer. Bring on the TV!
