Schedule and Info

As my Fall TV Season officially begins (ohmygoshilovethistimeofyear) with the Gossip Girl premiere tomorrow night, I thought I'd do a little update on plans, schedules, etc.

Nothing much has changed, other than the addition of Friday Night Lights, heretofore known as FNL, to the roster, as it's now one of my must-see shows. (See previous blog entry for gushing.)

Most of you know this, but as fate (or really sucky timing) would have it, this fall is starting off a bit crazy at home. I'm looking for a new job after finishing my summer school program, trying to find a place to live, and feeling generally, rather stressed.

That said, you may not find a blog for every show, every week. I'm sure I'll have something to say about all the premieres, especially when it comes to the newbies, but you probably won't find a weekly HIMYM or Private Practice recap. Maybe an end of the week round-up, general thoughts about what's going on in TV Land. (Read: Things that pissed me off/made me happy/both.)

Still, there are some shows you can count on for regular coverage (it's possible others will be added once life has settled down). And the winners are:
Heroes, HOUSE, The Office, Friday Night Lights.

California Dreamin' and all that other stuff...

It's official. The summer slump has begun. It's slightly (read: completely and utterly) depressing, and it's not like I don't have things I could watch. There's an episode of Studio 60 (with a little Jenna Fischer sprinkled in) and that new show... Traveler (is that the right name?), which I taped purely out of curiosity, on the TIVO. But I haven't gotten around to either. Anyone have an opinion? I need the motivation that comes with my regularly scheduled programming. As it is at the moment, I've got lots of "other," non-TV related (gasp) things going on.

1. I'm moving to California in three weeks. Yeah. I found this out Wednesday. Very excited, don't get me wrong, it's just all sort of happening at once. Quickly. (That's what she said.)

2. In the three weeks between now and the move, aside from life and work, I have a week long beach trip (starting Sunday), a Bachelorette Party to host and the task of finding a place to live. Easy, right? I need to be sedated or something.

3. I feel like Rory in the final episode of Gilmore Girls. I thought I had a month to ride roller coasters...

All that "life" stuff aside, I'm not shirking my duties. Netflix delivered the first two discs of House to my house (hahaha) yesterday, and I'm planning to start catching up at the beach... so if you're already a fan of House, or you really, really want to be, get ready!

And just to make this even more random... I saw Knocked Up tonight. Hilarious movie. Actually pretty smart... not uber generic or campy. It's consistently funny, which I appreciate, and of course some things were over the top (I could have done without all the body parts and neverending F-bombs), but the emotions weren't processed. It felt very... real. My only issue? I wanted (and really expected) to see a License to Wed trailer. *pouts* It was like being shot down with no Harry Potter at Pirates last week.

Enough. It's 2:15 a.m. Time to fall asleep watching Pride and Prejudice. Oops! I'm sorry. Is that picture not of Colin Firth? I really thought it was. I meant for it to be... dang it. I guess I'll just have to leave this one...
