Recent developments in my life:

• Hooray for President-Elect Obama! Boo for Sarah Palin being in the public eye and probably running for president next term. Get that chick out of here.
  
• I love musicals. Specifically, High School Musical, my new obsession. Also, Wicked, which my sister is going to take me to see for my birthday. Which was in August. Yeah, go figure.
  
• I just hit level 19. I have no idea how long I was at level 18. And ever since the TV.com update, I've had no concept of when I would be able to reach 19. But today, I am there. Soon I'll be at 20. Maybe? How do people get really high ranks? I feel like I am on tv.com more than I ever could be. And will I ever be in the community spotlight?
  
• Speaking of HSM, I am obsessed to death with Zac Efron. He is beautiful and talented and amazing. (Or maybe I'm talking about Troy Bolton.) Either way, eye candy for me. Why couldn't he have gone to my high school? If my boyfriend could/would sing and dance (and not to punk/rock music, I mean) my life would be complete.
  
• Bones last night was real interesting even though I had to wait until 1:30 am to see it and am exhausted today. I don't know how I feel about little Brandi Shannon playing a brunette lesbian -- it's so strange for her to be in a different role (in my opinion.) But hopefully good things will start happening with November sweeps.
  

you know what else i don't like? i don't like that the level percentage completed is missing from my profile. i have been on level 18 for a long time and i have no idea when i can reach 19.

i'm really upset at the new tv.com. the front page with the alternating ads -- they used to be really good. but now, they don't always advertise the shows that are on that day -- and right now there are TWO ads for smallville. two different ads for one show that's not even that big a deal (in my opinion). and no ads for greys anatomy. and other days they don't have appropriate ads for that day. i'm just saying.

does anyone know where we can give feedback about the new tv.com? or if its even possible?

i really do not know how i feel about this new tv.com. first of all, is it supposed to be ready or is it acceptable that everything is messed up? i don't see my emblems half the time, the forums are down, links aren't working. besides that, in the article announcing the new tv.com it expressed that it was going to be wider, but right now it's the same width it always has been for me. can you expand it?

speaking of, that "Expand+" toggle at the top where the user info is does not work at all -- all messed up.

is it really necessary to launch a website with lots of problems in order to figure out the problems, or could it have been possible to wait a week to have the glitches all figured out?

stuff isn't really nicer and easier and more aestethically pleasing than the old site. where can we discuss this?

I didn't even know it was possible to be at 100% of a level. i posted a review last night when i was at 96% in the hopes that i'd wake up and finally be at 18 and not be the crazy neighbor anymore. but now i'm at 100% of level 17! jeez. so i had to write a blog post about it in order to get over the hump. :)

i wonder if its possible to better oneself by sheer force of will. even when your previously formed habits are so tempting and troublesome. and just be the person you want to be.

i wish i would be chosen for community spotlight. that would be cool.

i should make a new banner. i should learn how to make banners again. to photoshop stuff again. there's a lot of stuff that i should do, now and in the future. i'll make a list one day. it's hard to make plans and stuff. being an adult is strange.

i think i like in plain sight. im not so sure all of the time. but i watch it and the 4th episode, which i just watched, made me cry. so...you know.

hmmm tv.com

life in general:

i work a lot. besides working i lounge and play with my new cats a lot. i'm not even sure if i'm used to not having school to worry about, since its still the summer i guess. its always so shocking to remember that i only have wrok to be responsible for. and then it's equally weird to realize that i'm an adult with my own place and my own life and being mostly responsible for myself.

but tv and movies and books are awesome. and cats are awesome. and its not that hard most of the time.

I thought that the 4-part "Sozin's Comet" movie was funny, action-packed, beautifully scripted and animated, and just all around very good.

Officially one of my favorite episodes of Avatar. Hands down. TSR.

Also: I love Paramore. And I HATE Rhianna.
