No winners yet. Results to be announced sometime in the next two weeks. Could use more votes. Link to contest in blog below. Please go and vote. Now. Please. Level 32 (43%) Going on possible vacation next week. Will not have access to computer. Am going to report in the MIA thread now. Please vote in Heroes contest. Now. Thank you. Have a nice day.

I've been working on other stuff...

... more than my own profile. With all the computer problems I've stop socializing with the Tv.com community because I haven't had time. I've tried to stop by a few blogs lately but mostly I've been trying to revamp my show guides. I've written some show blogs and created (and found) some interesting stuff in the show forums so check it out! A poll on the Grey's Anatomy spin-off Save HIMYM A Heroes catchphrase contest Looks like I'll have to take over the house in Florida to keep them from losing it. Not the way I wanted to become a homeowner. Having boy troubles and so is my mother. Is Starbuck dead-dead or Cylon-dead? What shows do you think are the most important for the networks to renew this year? I think Grey's and Heroes and HIMYM are definetly at the top of my list.

Vacation Warning

Hey guys! I will be "on vacation" in Florida until Tuesday, February 27, 2007. This means I will not be able to check my queue. I have to go down there to make sure that my cousins don't lose their house. They were hit by the recent storms in central Florida. The house survived but the car got thrown down the street. The problem with the house is financial. They are having trouble making the mortgage payments. I plan to clear out my queue today but I need someone to check it while I'm gone. I ask whoever does it to be sure that synopsis aren't copied from other websites. I actually may get back sooner but I cannot guarantee that I will have access to a computer and the internet until Tuesday the 27th in the afternoon. Will someone please link to this in the Editor on vacation thread? I've been looking for it but I can't find it. In regards to my latest Grey's Anatomy blog since the system won't let me edit the blog or leave a comment on it: While I don't like reruns I will say that Fridays two-parter from last February was a smart choice that I actually enjoyed. It was fun to see the similarites between a day when Meredith thought she was going to die and a day when she actually did. Plus I didn't have to wait a week for the conclusion. Level 31 (30%) EDIT: I meant to say the 27th, not the 26th. Thank you to the user who posted my absence in the right thread.

My Bets on Tonight's Grey's Anatomy...

Meredith will be the one to die. Then she'll be revived. In 12 seconds... (haha to anyone who gets the reference) In response to the comments on my last blog: I had a Level 31 user submit 4 recaps AND summaries copied word for word from another website. They were in my queue today. I almost cried for the shame they should feel. I just lost my level to that bug. Last time I had it I think I was Level 31 (17%). Watch Veronica Mars!!!

Stop Copying Summaries From Other Websites...

To quite a few users who sumbit to my queue: STOP COPYING SUMMARIES FROM OTHER WEBSITES! STOP COPYING SUMMARIES FROM OTHER WEBSITES! STOP COPYING SUMMARIES FROM OTHER WEBSITES! STOP COPYING SUMMARIES FROM OTHER WEBSITES! [end rant]

New Level!!!

My first new level in months! Level 31: Blues Brother. Level 31 (7%) I saw Ellen Pompeo in an episode of Law & Order that featured a crossover with my favorite Law & Order > SVU. She was playing yet another character who was dark and twisty on the inside but a lot less lovable than Meredith Grey. I wouldn't have minded seeing her fall over into the water... Anyone know the name of that L&O episode? Just cleared out my queue. See you later.

Hey All..

Thanks for the pointers on how to fix my level. :) I just cleared out my queue. Couldn't find much in the way of spoilers/summaries for upcoming episodes. Not that I expected to. Who would release their February plotline to the press during sweeps? One of my new favorite shows is My Boys. Sadly the TBS player does not allow you to view the episodes online. Tell me if you've seen it on DVD. Still at Level 30 (98%). Can't wait for tonight. Grey's Anatomy! I watched Lost last night. I wasn't heartily addicted to it like I used to be but it was good. As is good TV. Not great TV. Not 1st and 2nd season of Alias great. But good. Better than last year. Jabrams can never take a vacation again. Points on the recap. Just like BSG they understand that even after a mere 50 episodes or less they've created mythology and a world and that even for the avid viewer jumping right back in and trying to remember everything is not as easy as it may look. Speaking of I freaked the other week when Veronica was chatting about Cylons. I love that show more all the time. Now I just want two things from the WB... I mean CW. Keep their hands out of the writing and renewal of VM for a fourth season. The other day I officially made grailwolf the Forum Editor of Heroes. Although grailwolf already maintained all the power the Whedon fan now officially has my backing to moderate the forum it whatever way said cherished Whedon fan deems fit. Has anyone heard anything new on Weeds since the renewal? I mean other than the nominations... When are the Emmy nominations this year? I'm learning French. Je m'appelle Yakira. Au revoir!

Whatever. 2.0

So I finished clearing out my queue just in time to be demoted to Level (0%). I was in the middle of updating the guides. I think I was Level 30 (95%). I logged out and in about 5 times and I still couldn't get it to work. See you Saturday or Tuesday. Watch Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, Heroes, Veronica Mars, and BSG! Yakira

Whatever.

So I logged in and I'm at Level 1 (0%) which means I can't check submissions. My queue is cleared out till at least the morning of the 27th if I'm remembering correctly. I'll log back in in about an hour to see if my status has changed. Otherwise I can't get to my submissions until Saturday (maybe) or Tuesday guarenteed. Sorry to the staff if they 3 or 4 submissions. There's nothing I can do until the system is back up. I would ask people to stop sending me PMs that say things like "Why is my submission still pending?" after it's been in my queue for all of 5 hours. I do have a life. I do not have a computer installed in my brain that has wireless internet. I can't be here, literally, every second of the day. Please read Notice #32 below.

Notice #32

This is not a notice directed at any one specific person: Just because I log in doesn't mean I have time to fix every single possible error that may or may not exist in every single guide I edit, to clear out all the 50 or so submissions per day that are in my queue, and to fill in every single "omission" of information in all the guides I edit. Sometimes when I logon I'm only here for 5 minutes. I am only one person. I love to be here and participate in the TV.com community. But just like all the rest of you I'm human. Patience please. If you spelled names wrong, used the wrong format, or left the entirety of your submission that you want to appear in the guide in the comments box it will most likely be rejected with minor explaination. I expect anyone who contributes to TV.com to be capable of a spell check, to have actually seen an episode guide page of the guide that they are contributing to so that they would know the proper format, and to be able to read the directions listed on the submission page and in contribution guides written by TV.com and myself. If you submit a summary or recap that has been copied verbatim from another website don't even expect an explanation of why I rejected your submission. You should know better. If your submissions was rejected and you want me to re/explain why don't expect me to remember your one submission out of the 300 I see each week just by your username alone. I need more than "I submitted a submission and you rejected it. Why?" Tv.com does not have a place where I can go to look your name up and see the details of every submission you've submitted to me and then to be able to tell which one out of 600 submissions you have submitted that you are talking about. I am only human. end of notice Level 30 (76%) My computer is mostly fixed. It works now but we don't have Microsoft Office or the internet. Hopefully by the end of the month. We can't find a single AOL disk. I have an account I just can't access it because I no longer have the AOL software. Funny how there were like 20 free trial disks all around my house until I needed one. On the upside I got to keep all the files on my computer! Files, music, and videos! I will have internet access on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from now on. Expect me to check in on those days. Yakira
