noooooooooooooooo
(Yes, it is E! Online, haha.)
and nooooo some more.
This means major suckishness for me and my TV-watching schedule. If this lasts long enough, there will be no more Daily Show, Pushing Daisies, and The Office. Nooo!
And I'm so darn tired. And I still have so much darn hw to do- no matter how much I read, I'm still behind. And then I enter a vicious cycle...I just want it to be Thanksgiving already. And why am I saying "darn"?
No more Daily Show is BLASPHEMY
The writer's strike will mess everything up if it goes on long enough.
the news said that most regular evening shows will have enough scripts to last until January.
the Soaps and some sitcoms only for another month.
and the nightly talk shows (Dave Letterman, Jay Leno, etc.) are screwed immediately. The Daily Show might fall into this category, as it is daily and all
this makes me wonder, how much of Craig Ferguson do the writers write? cause I know he improvises the monologue, I wonder if he'll be the only one with new shows or if it will affect him some other way.
Not that I ever stay up late enough during the school year to watch him.
so anyways, the only way it really affects shows like The Office, and all the other shows I really care about, is if it lasts into January.
but still sad.
Yeah, I hate that.
Story of my life... at least today's exam was exam #2... i have a mini-break til a paper is due, and then...
finals
and the WG strike is freaking me out
ok, um, I guess I can't c/p that table too well, lol. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-striket...=la-home-center

"The Daily Show" and
"Saturday Night Live" Will go into repeats immediately.
"The Tonight Show" and
"The Conan O'Brien Show" Will go into repeats immediately.

Will remain live and in originals.
ABC
"Desperate Housewives"
Has nine episodes written, which should last through the first week of December.
"Grey's Anatomy"

Fox
"24" Will have eight or nine out of 24 episodes completed. Midseason, none have aired yet.
USA
"In Plain Sight"
New show, episodes are nearly wrapped
"Psych" and "Monk"
Enough scripts in hand to guarantee a full second half of each season

Enough for first half of the season (10); the second half (12) will be affected (meaning not enough scripts to guarantee production start as scheduled.)

and i can't decide who to side with? is that bad?

The nets continue to play their cards close to the vest -- "You never want to imply to advertisers that there's going to be a strike," said another exec -- but look for some telltale signs that the networks are moving to cover their bases:
--They'll be ordering fewer drama and comedy pilots and more reality.
--There won't be the usual late-spring hiatus in production.
--Continuing shows will get renewed earlier, with more backup scripts ordered so production can continue past Halloween if the writers walk out.
--Shows on the bubble between renewal and cancellation will become more likely candidates for renewal because they represent a smaller gamble than betting on a new show.
--Talkshows, news and gameshows will be more likely to migrate to primetime.
--Producers will take a long, hard look at shooting non-union and outside the U.S.
ISN'T THAT ONE OF THE REASONS THEY ARE ON STRIKE NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?! okay i changed my mind, i know who to side with...
Aaaargh! And I've been waiting to see Interpol for ages and they'll never ever ever come back to Australia for a very long time and and and... :cries:
*hugs*
I wish I could pass brownies through the internet.
Good Lord girl! I'm glad you're ok.
And I know what you mean about forbidden fruit! I hope I never develop any food allergies. Especially gluten!!!
Seriously, what the hell compelled me to take 21 units this quarter.
I really thought I could handle it and I'd be okay, but I feel so overwhelmed and my GPA is going to drop and then my dad won't be nice to me anymore and he won't give me money or let me go study abroad in England next summer.
I got my math midterm back today and I got a C on it. I wasn't expecting to do well on it or anything, but everyone was like oh the curve is really good I think your score is like a high B, and then i came home and checked online and no, its a fucking C.
I don't know what to do.. I don't want to withdraw from classes because I'm not going to fail any of them, but I don't think I'll get more than two As this quarter and the rest will probably be some type of B. I know this doesn't seem that bad to most of you, but it means a lot to me (and my father, to him B=F). I have a 3.8 gpa right now, and seriously even an A- brings that down.
I'm just scared and I'm trying to find that proper balance between working hard/doing well in school and still having a good college experience or whatever. I mean its not that I've been messing around this quarter - I've been working my ass off, but I'm trying to still have some fun and do extracurriculars and all that so I feel sane and not just a nerd that only does school work.
Okay I don't know where I'm going with this, I just had to get that out somewhere so I can stop crying.
Wow, Not 2 hours ago I was wondering where you'd been lately. I guess that answers that!
sad, but I always tend to side with the ones striking. especially against the big networks, they get on my nerves. like, for example, the ones who mismanage and then cancel the best shows. *coughcough*
and Krista, that's ridiculous. tv people don't make sense.
Ambie, honey, I'm sorry you're stressing out like that. I'm almost in that situation too, or I would be, if my ap chemistry grade wasn't magically somehow an A-... but for one, this is high school and I'm a senior and I'm almost past caring... and for another, my weighted gpa (and therefore class rank) is screwed anyways because I did music all four years, and all that. I hope you get it all under control, or at least find some way to stop stressing so much.
school today was pretty sucky for me... i didn't have my english homework done, and i'm behind in the reading, my latin test was super-long and so I didn't have time to eat lunch, and then I didn't have time to study for chemistry either, plus my teacher has been absent for two weeks and comes back expecting us to take a test on a chapter he hasn't taught us, and so I probably did miserably on that test. and then for some reason I was playing flute really suckily during band, and that's when the teacher decides to spring playing assesments for our first term grades on us. of course.
eh, I'm over it now, nothing i can do. i'm really glad i'm in the mode where it's like, 'school isn't the most important thing, i'll be fine'.... but then i remember my top college choices and flip out again. if only my top was s safety school, instead of an impossible reach.
sigh.
edit: oh, and have you ever noticed how teachers only say "you're adults, I treat you as such," when they're putting some sort of responsibility on you?
yeah that.
And The Office has shut down production. So, life sucks. A lot.
Maybe we should just start a "please help me with my homework" thread... Then we can all help each other learn. Not like I have homework, but it would be educational nonetheless.
