Quick Britney Spears Rumor

Well, I recently read on a Britney Spears fan site that there has been a rumor that the Britney Spears DVD will be filmed in Australia. The reason for this is because that show will be the complete show.

Another rumor has been that "Unusual You" will be added to the show for the 2nd US leg.

Which is awesome, because I love that song. It's definitely one of my favorites from the Circus album. Yeah, go Brit!.

So, filming in Australia will mean that it would include all the songs that were added to the song, the new remixes of the songs and the new outfit changes to the show. So, Australia will include all the new stuff, which would be awesome.

I can't wait. I want to hear more about these things. I want to hear that the rumors are true. Adding songs and the DVD are definitely awesome things. Let us know. Are they true?

Quick Update on Job

Today was a rather exciting day for me. We were able to get our temporary spots on the floor. We have been in our training room (their break room) for the past 2 weeks. And we have finally got our temporary cubes on the floor. Which was very exciting to see everything coming more real. Reality is really setting in.

Now, you may ask why I saw temporary spots on the floor. Well, to answer that question, our training class is sitting all together still. They will be placing us in different areas like next week. But, they just needed to get us out of the training room (the break room) cuz they needed the room for something else. So, we are in our spots for about a week, before they place us in our specific area where we will be working.

The company works different case types, so we will be divided among the different case types. I really hope that I get to stay with some of the people that I enjoy working with. I really hope.

Well, that's my update on the new job. Woot Woot!

Job Update: 7/20/2009

Well, I just started a new job two weeks ago. Today was my first day of my third week of training. So, I'm starting to get the hang of things, learning all the different software, my way around the systems and the different things I could be doing.

I am working at a real estate tax service, that deal with many different mortgage companies, pretty much outsourcing of their stuff to us. We mostly pay escrow taxes for homeowners. But, we handle a lot of the cases when homeowners have problems with something. Or they send in a new bill with new amounts for their taxes.

Well, we have been mostly working on our own in groups on cases, instead as a class anymore. We have about 16 people in our class, we started with about 20. Three of the people left, and one girl got put right into one of the departments. But, there are 16 of us left, we should be moving into our desks soon, but until then we are in the break room/training room. They put up a wall so that they can train us and let everyone else still have their break room.

I am really enjoying the whole job. The pay isn't bad so I won't complain about that. I got my first paycheck last week and I liked it a lot. It will definitely help me with my credit card debt problem. I am so happy to be making some real money.

Well, until next time, enjoy life and don't let a minute go to waste!

Twitterholic? Are You?

Well, if you're as addicted to twitter as i am. You need to read this blog. Well, most likely, you're gonna be checking this out from twitter, so chances are you are addicted to it or you like it a lot.

First off, Twitter is becoming a huge thing lately all over the place. Everyone has one, all the celebrities have one. Bloggers have them to update their readers with the latest on their blogs. Normal people have them so they can update the world with what they're doing. And I have to say that I enjoy it quite a bit.

Twitter.com - the main site for twitter users.

Twitzap.com - a very cool site that you use your twitter username and password at. You log in like you would at twitter.com but, this site is cooler. It automatically updates the feed, so you don't have to keep clicking home. It's a nice feature. And it also has the retweet feature which is nice so you don't have to copy the tweet from someone.

Twt.fm - is an amazing site where you can share your music. You login with your username and password and you can search by artist and song name and you can tweet to all your followers what you're listening to. I enjoy it a lot because then people don't have to ask who you're listening to, they can just click on the link and listen to the song.

And then of course you can always check out the wikipedia page of Twitter where there are tons of programs that use your twitter stuff for other things. The link above is the link to the twitter services and applications of where you can see twitzap and twt.fm. There is a link back to the official twitter wikipedia site though.

But, I just thought that I would share my twitter findings. Because I know how some people are about it. They always like to find the newest things.

The BB season is underway

I can't believe the Big Brother season is underway. Big Brother is my absolute summer addiction. I just can't enough of it. I look forward to Big Brother every summer. It's a long wait of about 9 months or so. Unless, you get a writer's strike and then it's only a wait of about 4 or 5 months then. But, the way is kinda boring, but once you get close, and information starts to roll in about the houseguests and the new house. The house is always an interesting part to the puzzle. They change it every year to go with the new theme of the house. This year was "going green" so there are some things that relate to that in the house.

10 Things I Hate About You Premiere

10 Things I Hate About You is another new series on the ABC Famuly channel. It's a series about high school. Mostly about two sisters, one who wants to be popular and the other who doesn't care what people think about her.

I admit being popular in school is cool. But, some people push being popular to the limit. I enjoyed being popular with my own group of friends. That was perfectly fine with me.

The show of course includes the guy that likes the sister that wants to be popular but, he'll never have a chance with her. He offers to do things without thinking about things first. And the mysterious guy who can't express the way he really feels about the other sister.

The show looks very promising and looks like it could at least be a good show for the season. Hopefully ABC Family keeps the show for the full season and doesn't hack it half way through like some of the major networks like to do with some good shows.

SHOW: 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU
CHANNEL: ABC FAMILY
DATES & TIMES: TUESDAYS @ 8PM
PREMIERE DATE: TUESDAY, JULY 7TH

1 Week To Go - Yay!

There is just one more week of waiting to go. Well, that is for all of you Big Brother fans out there. I can't wait for this brand new season to begin. I have been waiting for this season since Big Brother 10 ended last September. The wait for the new season is painful. But, the pain is just about over.

Big Brother 11 starts in just one week. And the best part is the live feeds will be starting too. The live feeds are by far the most amazing part of the show. You get to watch all the LIVE action in the house before its shown on TV and most of it is never shown on TV. And plus, they can only show so much on TV. They can't show the houseguests naked on TV, can they? Nope. So, get your live feeds ASAP.

Check out BBDish and subscribe to the live feeds from their site. The Big Brother Dish is by far one of the best Big Brother blogs out there. It's the bomb. And here's the info.

SHOW: BIG BROTHER 11
CHANNEL: CBS
DATES & TIMES: SUNDAYS @ 8PM, TUESDAYS @ 9PM, THURSDAYS @ 8PM
PREMIERE DATE: THURSDAY, JULY 9TH
LIVE FEEDS: BEGIN BROADCASTING LIVE JULY 10TH @ 12AM

So, that would be midnight after the show airs. That's because they have to wait until the west coast sees the premiere before they begin running the live feeds.

Make It or Break It Premiere

Well, another amazing show on ABC Family. And another show was I was able to find for free on iTunes. I love iTunes for all their free stuff, including free pilots for shows sometimes even before they air on television.

This show looks promising. I actually really enjoyed this show quite a bit because its all about gymnastics and if you know me, which most of you don't, I do like my gymnastics. Thats probably one of my favorite parts of the summer olympics. (FYI - London 2012, yay!)

Well, anyways, back to the show. The show is about a bunch of girls that are competeing to go to Nationals in the first episode which honestly is a great way to start off a show. It gives you a chance to see what the characters are really like under pressure with competition.

The girls in the show are obviously no-names but, I thought that the shows are sometimes better when they're no-names because then, you don't think of them as their previous characters from other shows.

Make It or Break It seems like a promising show for ABC Family. I hope that this show continues on. I'll have to catch the this week's episode because I missed it. Look at that, I'm already behind on it.

Well, I'll see ya later when I post my review on the 10 Things I Hate About You Premiere. Which by the way is available on iTunes for free right now. Grab it before they put a price tag on it.

SHOW: MAKE IT OR BREAK IT
CHANNEL: ABC FAMILY
DATE & TIME: MONDAYS @ 9PM

NYC Prep Premiere

So, I managed to find time to watch the new show on the BRAVO tv network. I found it in the iTunes free collection, which was nice. I didn't have to worry about trying to find it on Bravotv.com and no need to worry about bandwidth or crashing my browser. Anyways, onto my review.

NYC Prep is like a version of the Real Housewives of NYC with NYC prep schools. That's all it is. And can I just say that I don't think that there will be a season 2 to this show. There's no freakin' way that it will ever make it. Well, I feel that way with what I saw in just the first episode, yep, the series premiere.

These kids were unbelievable. I couldn't believe my ears. They were talking about how rich they were. Well, some weren't as rich as others. They were talking about fake IDs which isn't a big thing but, sharing it with the entire world on TV. Are they crazy?

Another thing that blew my mind and the reason why I don't believe that this show will go on for another season was these kids talking about hooking up. And we all should know by now in these times what hooking up means. It means that these kids are having sex at 16. Yes, these kids on this show were between the ages of 15 and 17.

This one kid, Sebastian was talking about hooking up with like 2 or 3 girls in one night, about 15 to 20 in a month. What happens if you run into the girl at some other party? I couldn't believe. This kid was literally a man whore (to put blunt).

One more thing that I couldn't understand was that were three different kids that were 17 years old. But, get this, they were all in different grade levels. I don't know how it worked out. But, one was a sophomore, one was a junior, and the other was a senior. So, I'm not sure how to understand that one.

But, anyways, this show is like nothing I have ever seen before. I mean it does talk about real things that are going on in the lives of real teens. But, I just couldn't believe that they were digging so far down.

I guess this is what you get when you want real reality tv. Bravo sure knows how to do it. Just wondering now, what will be next? We got Real Housewives which covers the parents and NYC Prep (which gets the high school kids covered). Are we gonna go younger with elementary kids or are we gonna go with the college kids next? Only time will tell.

SHOW: NYC PREP
CHANNEL: BRAVO
DATE & TIME: TUESDAYS @ 9PM
