Where The Truth Lies  
Happy Birthday [info]spoiled_andrea!

16 Emmy nominations for Mad Men. And, deservedly so. Though, I am a bit disappointed that none of the women on the show were nominated, namely Christina Hendricks.

Complete List of 2008 Emmy Nominees. The red carpet should be fabulous. Can't wait to see (and report on) all the pretty fashion.

Something I noticed while watching Kristin's latest interview with Sarah Wayne Callies...

Tee-Vee Stuff  
I finally watched Heroes S2, and I was less than moved by it. I loved the Claire moments, but there wasn't enough Sylar, and WAY too much Matt. Hiro's arc bored me to tears. The new characters were... boring.

New shows I'm excited about this fall: 90210 (oldies vs. newbies), The Mentalist (Veronica's back) & Fringe (Pacey's back)!

Some thoughts on the show that still owns me, news about S4 spoilers and a poll for good measure below the cut. Feel free to scroll past my rambling and head straight for the poll. ;)

Inspired by [info]msgenevieve, coming soon... what I hope for Prison Break S4.

Yay for Mad Men winning the Golden Globe! Gotta suck though, that the year you beat all the big network shows, a writers strike is going on. And, congrats to Johnny Depp. Is Oscar too far away?

I watched Prison Break last night, with a perplexed look on my face. I have no idea what's going on anymore. My, my, my... Whistler looked sexy. As did heat-soaked Michael.

Happy Thanksgiving  
I've given Big Shots 2 episodes. I could barely sit through last nights fiasco. I don't think I can hold on for much longer. Yikes... what a waste of a good cast. The writing is so juvenile, it's ridiculous and not even remotely funny. All the eye candy cannot make up for really AWFUL story lines.

Prison Break was okay this week, but it didn't knock me over. I didn't watch anything else this week, except for the L Word. My... that show is so unimpressive now. Maybe I'm in a mood. I don't know...

I'm going to an awesome wedding reception this weekend, so I'll be out of town for most of it. Hold down the fort [info]angelicus & [info]elizabethb.

To all my Canadian friends... have an awesome Thanksgiving! *hugs*

Something Is Going Around  
I've felt really crappy the last 3 days. I think some nasty bug is going around. There are a few people from work out sick today. I barely made it through the day yesterday... so I decided to work a half day. I'm feeling MUCH better today, but not 100%.

Oh well, the best thing to do is get out and enjoy this great September weather. They say we're going to break a record today... 32 degrees and counting. Driving to work this morning I couldn't help but marvel at how all the trees have turned already. It was a beautiful see of orange and red... but a sad reminder that Winter isn't that far away.

TV is heating up. Big Shots debuts this Thursday. I'm excited to see what it's all about... because... Michael Vartan... yeah... hot! I hear it's the male version of Sex and The City. I don't know how that will work, but I'll give it a good go (a few episodes at least). Hell, I watched every episode of Six Degrees and it was dreadful. Big Shots can't be any worse. I don't know if I'm going to watch Private Practice. The early buzz sounds bad, and I think I've had my fill of medical dramas. Speaking of which... House debuts tonight! The commercial last night during Prison Break was extremely entertaining.

And, then there's the loony insanity of SONA...

Peace  
I watched SONA for the first time last night. I have to say that wasn't a very thrilling season finale. I am looking forward to seeing how much of a madhouse SONA is, though. No guards, drugs and debauchery everywhere. Ooooooh, Pretty's gonna have his hands full!

Yay... Roger won ANOTHER grand slam. Okay, can we stop debating if he's the best EVER? We know he is.

I didn't watch the MTV Video Awards, but all the banter about Britney and others has been amusing. I will thank ONTD for that. BTW, she doesn't look like a cow. She looks pretty damn good, for having 2 kids very recently. Geez. Mind you, that outfit wasn't very well thought out.

In memory of those who passed on September 11th, 2001... peace be with you.

Like Whoa!  
Welcome to Meh Monday. It's cool and the sun is non-existent.

Have you seen THIS PB promo yet? I think the Madness icon says it all...

Would anyone like to help out with [info]prisonbreaknews? Pretty, pretty please? If so, comment here or send me an email. Further to that, is there anything you'd like to see in the newsletter that isn't already there? I'd love to hear your ideas or suggestions! :)

Thanks to everyone who filled out my PB poll!

Poll Time  
Five weeks in and I'm still really happy with the new job. Compared to where I used to work, it's night and day. The people are great and the atmosphere is relaxed. Who knew this type of work environment existed?

I'm really happy with my icon batches lately. I finally figured out a colouring that I like. I think I'll stick with it. Maybe. FYI... new icons here & here.

I'm actually looking forward to The Hills premiere tonight.

Below is a Prison Break poll for my amusement. Enjoy!

I Knew This Day Would Come  
An update... finally!

The stars have aligned in my favour, and I finally get to leave the crappy media job I've had for while... to work for a magazine. Working in publishing and advertising has been a dream of mine, and it's finally come to fruition. Woot! I'm so excited.

I imagine my schedule is going to become a bit more hectic, so that means less LiveJournal time. I've already given over [info]sweet_as_sucre and [info]larceny_lane to new ownership, and resigned as a banner maker at [info]wenty_stills. What does that leave? My two icontests: [info]kate_stills and [info]sandra_stills. I will probably be looking for new ownership for them in the near future. As much as I enjoy running them, I don't think I'll have the time. And, let's not forget that I'm the new maintainer of [info]prisonbreaknews. I'm fully committed to keeping the newsletter going for at least one more season. It's a great resource, and we Prison Break fans deserve it. Thank you to the few reporters we have, and to [info]angelicus for helping out when she can! As the weeks go by, I'm getting more excited about Season 3. I can't wait for the promo pics! PB premieres September 17th. Be there or be square!

I've been watching mostly reality TV lately. The Real World Reunion is looking good. Canada's Next Top Model is down to 4 finalists. I'd like Rebecca to win, although Sinead seems a bit more commercial. But, I hold no show closer to my heart than... Big Brother. Unfortunately, I've missed the last 2 shows, so I don't know if the Veto was used, and who got evicted last night. Someone please fill me in? [info]angelicus?

My parents are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this December. So, my sister and I are throwing them a big bash... about 100 guests. They deserve it. They had a small wedding back in the 60's, with no family and few friends. It'll be great to get everyone who is important to both of them in one room, to celebrate their love and commitment to each other.

My most recent icons posts are here and here.

Congrats to Roger on winning 5 Wimbies in a row. I like when he beats Nadal, even though I don't mind Rafa so much. Wimbledon was a bit dull with all the rain in London. Build the roof already people!

Anyway, sorry I haven't been around much. It's the summer, ya know. I quickly skim through my flist. If I don't comment, it's not because I don't luv ya!

Happy Easter  
Hi! I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Thanks for the eggs, [info]angelicus! :)

I'm totally out of the loop. I haven't watched the last 2 TBD's or the PB finale. I knew TBD was in trouble, but NBC sure pulled the plug fast. And, what's with all the mixed reviews I'm reading about Sona? Is it really that good/bad/ugly? Should I be excited for Season 3? Because, I want to be.

I haven't watched last nights TBD yet. My latest batch of TBD icons.

Looking forward to American Idol. Gwen Stefani is the guest mentor. I just peeked at tonights song choices. What are some of them thinking?

Whatever Gets You Through The Night  
Prison Break got picked up for a 3rd season. Hmmm... how are they going to spin this for another year? All I have to say is... there'd better be a hell of a lot more Michael & Sucre!

Wow, that's one BIG hole!

I'm REALLY nervous for TBD, 'cause it's ratings are sucking major donkey balls.

I miss Heroes Sylar.

I'll review in more detail, once I've watched them again.

Hmph!  
Heroes Friending Meme. Go forth and put your name on the list!

What the hell has happened to the Prison Break fandom? It's so fractured. Everyone is bitching and moaning about something. Like WHOA... the negativity is hurting my ears! My love for this show will never die, so I'm in it for the long haul (or I suppose until Season 3 is over), but my love for this fandom is seriously dying. That includes making graphics.

A lot has to do with me hopefully making a career change in the coming weeks. Which will give me less time to chat with my flist. And, less time on LiveJournal, in general. But, more on that at a later time.

So, no Prison Break next week. What a tease this show is.
