I've had a small issue with a contributor to Charmed and I'd like to address it. This user made some Notes submissions about Spanish titles for Charmed episodes and I approved them. The user then made some more, and I approved them. However there were over 50+ in my Queue at the time, and I was not able to approve them in the 7 day-alloted time for Editor's Queue. I had assumed the staff had approved them, and was rather shocked to learn today, after an angry message from the user, that the staff had rejected them. The staff had then recommended to the user that they speak to the editor, me because of "mass submissions". Unfortunately the user assumed I was being a jerk and decided to reject them, out of spite or something. Sadly that was not the case. I have not been able to be online every day like I used to and it's more like every 3-5 days.

I have since sent a PM to the user explaining the situation and recommended the submissions be resubmitted, and have also posted in the user's blog, as they decided to post a rant about me there too. I do want to apologize to all the recent contributors of my shows of the delays in approval. I've been working 6 days a week, for the past few weeks, and getting ready to move on March 1st and just have not been able to come online as much as I should and would like. I will definitely try more as I'm going back to only 5 workdays a week starting this week and things should get better.

One more thing I'd like to address, where the staff told this user to "speak to the editor about mass submissions", alot of people don't understand, that the rules of TV.com are that you should only submit so much in one day to a show. I have a busy life and unfortunately can't approve 70 submissions done in a matter of 2 days. I believe the rule is only about 10-15 per day and I've previously recommended to people no more than 20-25. Please keep this in mind. Thanks. :)

I think I'll go back to signing my approvals with my name, as I had switched to only signing rejections. That way people will know I'm approving or rejecting it, and if there's not a signature of mine, then it's the staff that did it.

I'll be offline for the rest of today, Tues Nov 27 and Wed Nov 28th. I will be back online on Thurs Nov 29th. I'm heading to Portland, Oregon (USA) to see the live tour of So You Think You Can Dance?. Be kind to my Editor Queue, try to hold off submitting anything till Thursday. Thanks! :)

EDIT: Managed to get back online during the day to clear out my Queue.

This past weekend I gained the editorship of the Canadian TV series Whistler. I've since been tidying up the season 1 guide, adding to the currently-airing season 2 section and just about to tackle the forum.

This past week, while watching the series Cane I was pleased to see one of my fave Australian actresses (Rachael Carpani) beginning what seems like a recurring role. She was a long-time cast member on McLeod's Daughters and only just left the series this past season. Coincidentally, just weeks ago, in the pilot for the vampire series Moonlight, another actor from McLeod's (he played one of Rachael's boyfriends in fact), Dean O'Gorman - not an Aussie but from New Zealand, was the bad guy in the episode. Good to see some of the Aussies/Kiwis heading to the U.S. to get noticed a bit more.

After many, many, many, months I finally racked up enough CPs to bump to the next level - I am now at Level 51 (6%).

I am enjoying the new season for all my fave shows and enjoying several new shows (Aliens in America, Reaper, Moonlight, Bionic Woman, Big Shots, just to name a few). Looks to be a great year for TV. :)

I've been offline since Thursday night because I was way too busy Friday and Saturday working, etc to get online and then Sunday and Monday our internet was down. It's finally now back up and running but I have almost 200 subs in my Queue. If those who submit regularly to my shows could please hold off for a couple days so I can catch up that would be awesome. Thanks!

I'm gonna be away for a 3-day weekend starting tomorrow - Sat Aug 18th to Mon Aug 20th. Back online on Tues Aug 21st. Going back up to the Okanagan area for 2 nights.

I did get tickets last weekend for a November date for the So You Think You Can Dance? tour - good seats too (on the floor, 8th row!), so looking forward to that. :)

My vacation was over in a blink of the eye. Eight days away from home and work, spending it on the beach relaxing, visiting a winery, playing mini-golf, floating down the channel on a floaty chair, etc. Wow it was glorious but over too fast. I read the final Harry Potter novel while I was on vacation and I loved it. :)

Upholding a tradition that began during last summer, my best friend and I are going back to the Okanagan for a weekend - Sat Aug 18th to Mon Aug 20th. I will of course be offline during those days and back online on the Tuesday.

Today I'm waiting till just before 10am to buy tickets for the So You Think You Can Dance? tour. Since there's no Vancouver, B.C. date, my friend and I are planning on going to the Portland, OR, one as we've been to that venue before and it was a nice little trip. Hope I get good seats!

Now a final update on this - I will be on holidays from July 21-29th. Last day online July 20th, back online on July 30th. Leaving tomorrow for my annual summer vacation to the Okanagan area where life is wonderful. I cannot wait - 1 more sleep! ;)

I've notified my busiest forum - Charmed and fellow editor/all-site moderator Gislef has agreed to checking out that forum while I'm away. Later guys!
