This week I went to visit a friend in Southern Virginia and see the sites, so this is why updates pretty much stopped after Tuesday. I thought I would be able to keep up with so few shows on, but walking around all day in hot weather in the upper 90s zapped me. I’ll add what updates I can this weekend.

It’s still 2 months away, but I’ve added a Summer Olympics section to ‘The Forums’. I don’t expect to be writing much about the Olympics on here. I’ll probably write about them on my personal blog if anywhere, as well as on the forum.

Feel free to share news stories pertaining to the Olympics, and of course when the time comes, discuss the various events.

As most have probably noticed by now, the site has a whole new look. For a year now, actually since starting this blog, I’ve wanted to get a custom skin made. I’ve gone through many different looks from what I’ve been able to find available online for download, but I’m never fully happy with any of them no matter how awesome they are. I just wanted something unique, and I didn’t have to time to try and do one myself right now. Therefore I turned to Weblog Design Studios for the new look. Danalyn and Jonathan pulled together this for me based on what I told them I was looking for. I you have a blog and want a custom look, I highly recommend them! I used them a year or two ago for my personal blog as well.

With the new design in place I will probably finally start looking into moving my blog to a new server at some point soon. I found where I want to move it to, it’s just a matter of finding the time to port everything over (including other personal sites and blogs).

First up, my apologies if you’ve had trouble connecting to the site, or it’s been abysmally slow. My server has been progressively going downhill the past few months. Within the past week I’ve been unable to connect several times and that was the last straw for me.

I’m currently narrowing down the search for new servers to move this and some of my other pages to. I hope to open a new account on one by the end of the week and begin moving all my sites this weekend. This should improve the speed of the site as well as eliminate downtime. I’ll make another post before I’m moving, as when you switch hosts there is always a lag between the switchover. Plus other issues often show up, such as broken images and what not. I’m hoping to fix most of those behind the scenes before initiating the final server switch.

PS Thanks to server issues, the blog comments forms all got broken. This should be fixed now! (Just another reason why I need to switch servers!)

I know many people watched this last season. I tried but once again it conflicted with something else and I kept forgetting to watch. At least 2 of my chatroom buds watch and love this show and keep telling me I need to. Does anyone out there watch it? Any interest in me adding it to the blog?

The new season starts June 8th. Unfortunately the first season hits DVD on June 10th. I may start Tivo’ing the 2nd season and do a DVD marathon to catch up with the first season as quickly as possible. I can probably get the first season watched in one week since it’s only 13 episodes.

Post Update: It looks like next Saturday, June 7th, Lifetime is doing an all day Marathon of Season 1!

With this past Thursday night, my TV season is pretty much over I’m afraid. “Grey’s” was the last season finale of my main serials. (BTW I’m working on the recap/thoughts on Grey’s now).

Once again we are about to enter a Summer of reality TV mostly. There is a bunch of stuff I plan on watching. Right now I’m actually watching “Workout” on Bravo, but haven’t had the time to comment on those dysfunctional trainers. I always wonder every time I go to my gym if they are like the people on that show? Also on Bravo I plan to watch “Shear Genius 2,” and “Kathy Griffen: My Life on the D List.”

On CBS there is of course “Big Brother 10″ to watch. I might give “Swingtown” a shot mainly because it’s gotten a lot of controversial hype.

NBC will once again be showing “America’s Got Talent.” I’ll tune in, but often I get bored with this show. I also want to see “Celebrity Circus” because the premise is like the old “Circus of the Stars” TV show.

VH1 is supposed to show Margaret Cho’s “The Cho Show” at some point this summer. That’s going to be a must watch for me!

Finally “Weeds” returns on Showtime. Last season started off too dark and boring for me, but by the end of the season it had gotten good. This time Nancy and her family are said to be living near the border of Mexico, after having to flee Agrestic.

I’m sure I’m forgetting some stuff of course. Anything you all plan on tuning in for?

This past Sunday we gathered in the chatroom to watch the finale of “Desperate Housewives” and it worked out pretty well, several new faces showed up.

Tonight are the season finales of “Ugly Betty” and “Grey’s,” so we’ll be in there discussing them as well if anyone cares to drop in.

Even though I don’t keep up with “Lost” on here, enough of the chatroom regulars WILL be discussing it for sure next week when it’s on.

Come join us!

Just a reminder that I and some others will be in the chatroom this Sunday at 9pm to watch and discuss the two hour “Desperate Housewives” finale. Come join us!

Just remember we are on eastern time, so if you aren’t there will be spoilers! Also note adults only please, as there could be bad language used and at times directed at the characters on the show
