I just finished watching the latest Desperate Housewives episode… episode 100!! But I’m still DYING to see the newest episode of the last The L Word season~~~ AND, the newest Showtime Toni-Collette-starring-Diablo-Cody-written-30-min-dark-comedy~~ (yes, that’s one word) United States of Tara.

DH aired at 9pm (at the same time that TLW airs), but still no hint of the episode of TLW… why is that? Is it because TLW isn’t as popular as DH? Is it because TLW airs on Showtime? But Dexter also airs on Showtime… though I’m pretty sure Dexter takes a little while to show up~~ The fact is… I have no idea why I’m dying to watch The L Word tonight. Maybe it’s because I have to wake up early tomorrow meaning that I wouldn’t be able to watch the episode until later today. LOL Combine that with my left-over anxiety left from last season’s Molly+Shane… and lack of web comments on tonight’s episode.

I would assume that people that watch Showtime are more web savvy than the people that tend to watch ABC, so I’m sure someone that watches TLW would be able to make IT happen.

*sighs*

Now… if only I could get Showtime in Peru. Cable Magico *hint hint nudge nudge* … *punch punch* get it? And cut that crap of “Latin American version of *insert name of channel*”.

OK… back on my subject~~~ I know the more popular the film is, the faster it hits the internet. Is it the same for shows? Or does it have to do with target audience?

Yu Aoi will be on cable this month!!! With a showing of Hana & Alice, as well as Hula Girls!!!

Remember the 90′s and early 00′s

Some of them I’ve seen actually… but it is to be note off~~~ INTERN ACADEMY. xD Not sure how that film will be, but it has none other than Carly Pope in the cast, so worth checking out for me. LOL’

As you can see… the HBO site (Peru schedule) has The Others listed as ‘now playing’ while there’s still 1.30hr for Little Fish, meaning it will be playing at 2.35am or so instead of 12.25am like the Cable Magico site and magazine say~~ which begs the question~ will the other films also be at other times?

Yup, finally as well. It already began showing, but you wouldn’t believe how freaky was to find out it was showing. It was a regular day in the evening when I suddenly thought to myself that I missed watching The Ellen Show because, well… no one broadcasted the show (until now), so I missed watching it from time to time. So maybe I thought of sending a message through her website complainig about it, ha! One minute later (literally), I saw the commercial that it was gonna begin broadcasting.

The Ellen Show is showing from Monday to Friday at 5 p.m. (GMT -5, Peru Time) on Warner Channel (Channel 16 Cable Magico). I leave you with some Ellen Spanish Funny. The Spanish classes did sure pay up!

Not the American version, I don’t care for the American version… but the Japanese!!

Tell me what you eat, and I’ll tell you what you are.

Funnyness ensued when they used REALLY bad dubbing for it. “Unh… Fukui-san” xD

I wanted to let you all know that the show will be broadcasting in Sony Entertainment Television (15 Cable Magico) on Saturdays at 8 p.m. (GMT -5, Peru Time).

They discussed things as to “how to make your blog really popular”, and some of the tips were really great, and some other quite obvious. However, in the end, some people just want to share their information to other people that might be looking for that something. Like with what I’m doing with the Kobukuro romaji lyrics… well, in my case – I started a blog to just keep friends and relatives updated on life abroad. The first year or two were a bit busy, and I even kept a database of films I had watched on theaters or DVD… but it was too much work. So I took that section down, it was, however, a really popular search.

Now, my blog has been reduced to just a music player… a list of links, some photographs, and the random blog entry talking about a specific issue or ranting – keeping a portfolio and being webmaster of a few websites is tedious enough work already.

Before, my blog consisted of some videos I did (there’s my YouTube account now), wallpapers, avatars, fake celebrity interviews from my friends and me, music section, movie database with synopsis and opinions… Actually, I should try to search for those videos and post them. Private posting, of course – maybe someday.

Well, anyway – I got really off-topic here. I was talking about the Boom of Peruvian blogs. People said that there would still be an increase in the numbers of Peruvian bloggers, probably until the day there’s no one who wouldn’t know the meaning of the word “blog”, which is probably a very extremely long time in an under-developed country like ours.

Why are blogs popular? Who the heck knows. The thing about blogs is that people want to know what other people are up to, therefore, turning blogs into marketing devices, such as MySpace and the Korean-community-now-translated-to-English, Cyworld. (By the way, I also have a Cyworld account, haha) – People want to know, that’s why bloggers such as Perez Hilton, or that other that sounds like Nicole Ritchie are popular. Gossip + blogging tool = Instant Gossip Magazine, without the printing issues and hot presses…

I’ve heard so many complaints about MySpace lately. I’ve seen a few accounts getting hacked… the most annoying and common problem is spamming, but getting your account hacked sucks. America’s Next Top Model Cycle 7 contestant, Megg, got her account hacked and we’ve not heard again about her – Her account states “dead profile” and all pictures have been removed. MySpace also screws up by deleting accounts for unknown reasons, which happened to Emma-Watson.net’s account – who knows why! Other people that got their accounts deleted were some bloggers who were apparently talking about the David & Goliath stores owner/’designer’. He’s been accused of plagiarizing work, and been accused of ‘bullying’ other bloggers who have been talking about this issue.

Hmm… there’s also that issue about that “blogging code” people were talking about last time. I think screw that code – really. It’s as if I were writing some sort of diary, and people would be asking me to ‘keep it clean’ – I will write what I want to write – if I don’t want to get in trouble, I just won’t publish it. Okay? xP – and if people find it offensive, they should just ‘not read it’…. how about that? That’s another reason I’ve never understood so called “trolls” – why go into a forum of a topic you despise. Goddamn attention seekers.

Whatever, I’m just gonna go wait for The L Word to start. What a great show. I think there’s only two shows on air who I truly watch… and that’s The L Word, and Desperate Housewives. – Oh! Has anyone read the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics??? Season 8 is looking pretty awesome, I wonder how it would’ve been on TV.

First, there is NO sign of episode 6 of ANTM8 coz YouTube sucks. Then, computer was supposed to arrive today, but it hasn’t and my uncle said maybe later in the night, it’s Saturday already and nothing… I also decided to format my cousin’s laptop… HP laptop. For some reason, it didn’t wanna accept and wipe clean the whole Hard Disk with a copy of XP Professional, so now I’m stuck with a useless HP laptop with only 2GB free. I have to wait for the freaking HP installation CDs now.

I was also trying to make a small network between the computers in my house, because I’m tired of running around when I want to print something from my laptop in the printer of the desktop. So that also blows!! I mean, it’s supposed to be so easy, but for some reason it just REFUSES to work properly. I have officially rebooted my machine over 10 times today. And the Microsoft Support Center? Yeah, not much support in there… It figures.

After all was said and done, I ended up having a chat with Mrs. Cow inside a bun. It turned out she was from Hamburg – actually, I learned some things today. First, that thing we, in Spanish, call “Gentilicios”, it’s called “Gentilics” or “Demonym”. I also learned that people from Croatia are not Croatians, but Croats, and that people from Hamburg are NOT Hamburgers, but Hamburgians!

There you go, tell other people!

FUCK UPS.

Couldn’t you come up with a 15sec video telling me so? I had to fucking google it up to find out????

From cineencuentro.com,

El documental producido por James Cameron que ha sido la comidilla de todos los especialistas, religiosos, creyentes y no creyentes, El sepulcro olvidado de Jesús (The Lost Tomb of Jesus, 2007) se transmitirá este domingo 18 de marzo a las 8:00 p.m. en Discovery Channel

FUCKERS, couldn’t you let me know WAY BEFORE March 18? I had to fucking go INTO the Discovery Channel FORUMS to FUCKING FIND OUT????

From Discovery Channel Forums,

Desafortunadamente, hoy me informé que a través de un comunicado de prensa, Discovery Channel postergó la emisión del programa El Sepulcro Olvidado de Jesús. Según el informe de prensa esto se ha debido a problemas técnicos de ajustes de los interesantes programas, que Discovery Channel emite diariamente en Latinoamérica, exceptuando a la emisión en Argentina, quienes tienen un sistema menos complejo. El programa “El Sepulcro Olvidado de Jesús”, estará en las pantallas de televisión, el día 29 de Abril de 2007. Según establece la fuente oficial, la medida anunciada no se debe a presiones externas, tales como la interposición de demandas en tribunales por organizaciones cristianas, entre las cuales se cuenta el conglomerado fanatismo de las Iglesias Evangélicas, quienes ven un perjuicio en sus interes, la eventual difusión de ese documental televisivo.

La emisión de tal programa televisivo auspiciado por Discovery Channel estaba propuesto para este domingo 18 de Marzo a las 22 horas, sin embargo no podrá salir al aire debido a problemas internos que tiene la programación del Canal.

Hemos de esperar que esta postergación tenga por finalidad, llevar a cabo un idóneo trabajo para la difusión definitiva del programa “El Sepulcro Olvidado de Jesús”, que millones de seres espirituales en Latinoamerica y el mundo entero, está esperando verlo, y no asumir una sesgada prudencia ante la amenaza de eventuales demandas judiciales que podría verse afectado Discovery Channel por su difusión.

El “Quijote de la Mancha” no habría esperado intromisión alguna antes “Molinos de Vientos” y menos ante un “perro que ladra no muerde”, y que es señal que Discovery Channel está avanzando en su misión de ofrecer información acerca de descubrimientos que podrían hacer reflexionar la conciencia espiritual de todo el mundo y ser motivo de una probable revolución espiritual.

FUCKER DUMB FUCKS~
