Meh and more meh

Freaking strike. It screws with my plans. I so don't have the patience and the courage to walk through the woods in the dark, so I am staying home.
I probably should look into fixing my bike up for the summer.
If it goes on like that I have to figure how to get to the airport on Wednesday at 5 in the morning with the express only going from central station. *grumbles*
No ticket for the concert yet. I have no idea what that is all about because my credit card got charged.
Man, I am not pleased at all.
*grumbles more*
The writer's strike really had it. The consequences are visible now. I think a lot of shows have lost their momentum (I mean even Grey's is down more than 20%, that's more than SPN lost).
Considering that the network is struggling, too the numbers are not good. Considering that a lot of people thought (maybe still think due to the lack of ads) that these eps are reruns the numbers are good.
At least the numbers are up again, I still wonder where the people are who watched "Jus in Bello". The hiatus destroyed a lot. Let's hope it won't affect the 4th season (or the network) too much.
*sighs*
I am still dizzy and tired. I think I haven't really woken up today.
Writing non-stop for almost two days with little sleep in between probably wasn't the smartest idea.
But I am always doing that, getting things done last minute (not sure if it makes it better but I at least get them done).
No idea what I was thinking when I signed up.. I know who to blame though. :P

Date: 2008-05-02 05:12 pm (UTC)And yeah... considering that almost all shows (no matter which network) are losing number we are doing okay.
Oh God, yes.. actor's strike.. Please, no.

Date: 2008-05-02 06:23 pm (UTC)The ticket thing really pisses me off!!! I want us to have our damn tickets!!! I hope they write back soon.
Yea, the strike destroyed a lot. Not only the rates are shitty, I think the quality of some shows suffered as well. Especially the first ep after the strike, there was a lot WTF??? going on in my brain. But we're still doing good with SPN compared to others.
I'm sorry you're still dizzy from writing. Maybe more sleep? As for the "who to blame" part....*points to icon*

Date: 2008-05-02 06:36 pm (UTC)I hope that, too. I hope the questions got through and all.. *sighs* It's pissing me off, too.
Yeah. even Lost had a series low last night. Which kinda shows that almost every show is struggling to come back after the hiatus.
Yeah. More sleep. I just wish I knew if my mum is coming home tonight or tomorrow or calling tonight. I have no idea and I can't reach her right now.
*pats* I am not mad I am just blaming people all around :P
Next time remind me not to sign up.. ;)
I need more Dean icons..

Date: 2008-05-02 07:07 pm (UTC)I know. Even all the well-known and good-running shows are suffering which kinda surprised me. I'm just hoping that it goes better with the next season
More sleep is always good. What about your mum? Is she on vacation or something?
Oh...okay. As long as you're not only blaming me, that I can live with *g*
And you do know that I am so the wrong person to hold you back from stuff like that. I'm more for the cheering and stuff and getting people into situations like that *hides again*

Date: 2008-05-02 07:48 pm (UTC)Awww don't feel bad, it's okay... I just have to go to bed a little earlier than usual and sleep.. :)
Yeah, it is a surprise.. but maybe people learned how to live without them during the hiatus... I am hoping for the next season as well.. Fresh start and all... The thing is, the CW itself is struggling, which is not cool.
Yeah, kind of.. she is with her bf, who lives on Usedom. And she is on vacation as well. She'll be back on Sunday. Just called.
Oh I am blaming you just fine.. :P
Yes, yes I am aware of... dammit.. *g*

Date: 2008-05-02 09:16 pm (UTC)You know, going to bed and actual sleeping are two totally different things ;)
Well, I had to find stuff to watch over the break. It's already bad to find stuff to watch over hiatus and then the strike happened. So I guess people got used to watch other stuff and got hooked or so. *shrugs*
Oh, understand. So at least now you know that you don't have to worry to be woken up in the middle of the night *g*
Yeah I know that you're blaming me *hangs head*
To avoid such situations, don't ask me to hold you back because I most certainly won't :P

Date: 2008-05-02 09:34 pm (UTC)I know. *sobs* I went to bed yesterday dead tired and I couldn't sleep.. because I was still thinking about the story and what I want to add and so on...
I hope it will be better tonight.
Yes, they really might have gotten hooke.. Hmmm...
I think I didn't really watch anything new over the hiatus this time... I actually watched German TV (Cobra 11 and that only because of Gedeon.. I am glad he is out of that show now, I can stop watching again). But I don't know about the break...maybe I'll find something to watch.
LOL, no... that's only my brother... or my grandpa calling at 9 in the morning on Sundays ;)
*laughs* Yes.. I know... I just don't complain if I go and spam you with whiny comments and beta requests again.. :)

Date: 2008-05-02 09:46 pm (UTC)Yeah, that happens to me too, especially when I am dead tired. Then everything that happened, things that I have to do and so go through my head and I can't sleep. I hate that.
Yeah, who knows. I didn't really watch anything new either. Watched all 3 seasons of CSI NY, first season of Bones, all seasons of Stargate Atlantis. And that's about it. But now I don't have anything for the break. I really have to think hard what to watch. Maybe I give Medium another chance. The first season still sits on my harddrive
See, I kinda trained my family and friend to not call me before lunch time. And it works LOL
I think I'm kinda used to the spamming and whining *ducks from flying objects* LOL

*smishes*

Date: 2008-05-02 07:44 pm (UTC)They said something about it ending this weekend. I really hope so otherwise there is no end in sight.
Thank you. I have sent them a mail and now I have to wait for an answer. I hope they answer soon. *hugs back*
I hope so, too. Yay for season 4 anyway.. :)
