* It's been over 12 hours but I am still in a bit of shock over this Christian Bale story. WTF? This is Christian Bale we are talking about.

* Estelle Getty passed away. So sad. Sophia was one of the best tv characters.

* Happy Birthday to bluejulie Hope you had a good one. To anyone else, I have no doubt missed, I am so sorry. I hope you all had a great day and got some good presents.

* How did it get to be July 22th already?

To my lovely fl, I need some advice in regards to a external hard drive. I am looking for any experiences you might have had - bad or good. If anyone has any recommendations or warnings about a certain brand, please share. I am looking for one under $200 if possible.

Also did anyone see this on The Colbert Report? I nearly died after the millionth few times of watching it.

* Whew, I apologize for the lack of tv alerts this summer. Between being away, the lack of original tv, and other real life things; I've not been on top of things.

* A polite warning to anyone, who doesn't go through the hell I went through for the last three days, if you are barraged with popups for a XP Antivirus 2008; your desktop goes blue, and has the message "your computer is infected with spyware..." and then a scan pops up; then directs you to purchase their product. This is a scam. Worse than that. It is spyware. It installs the program onto your computer which is a pain to remove and can seriously damage your computer.

I used this program (which is a free spyware program that manages to remove any and all files related to the XP antivirus)then follow these instructions, Spybot apparently removes it, SpyHunter is also recommended. McAfee doesn't recognize this virus/spyware/trojan. Hopefully my lovely fl won't have to deal with this.

If you do need more links or instructions, please leave a comment and I'll try myself to direct you to another link or offer advice. I need some alcohol or frozen yogurt. Or both.

* Hope those in the US had a fabulous and relaxing 4th of July weekend. I spent time at the beach. Minus all the people, it was awesome!

* To my B/F fans or Bosco fans, is there a song lyric or quote that reminds you of them? Same in regards of Michael/Sara?

* How did it get to be the 14th of July? *looks around*

* Leo from Charmed was on The Closer season premiere! Hehe. ( ... and so the answer is -- spoiler. )

* It's Friday. Yay!

* CBS has announced their fall premiere dates. NBC's premiere dates can be found here and FOX's can be found here. I am too lazy to copy them ;) Sorry.

* Law and Order: CI will have a new detective new fall. While I'm sad about the departure, I am quite interested in the replacement choice.

* There will be a "name" guesting on Chuck next season. Really? The only good person to audition? Srsly?

* Jason Bateman reportedly said an Arrested Development movie could be in the works. Oh please, oh please. If it's true, where can I pre-pre-pre order my ticket?

* The Daily Show has added a new correspondent to their staff. I approve!

* TW fans. In an AU verse, what kind of profession could you see Bosco and/or Faith in? (This would be totally AU as in nothing to do with law enforcement/PI etc).

Oh my god. How awesome was Will Smith on the Colbert Report? Damn, there are very few celebs I think are really good people and kinda of love a lot, and Will is one of them.

I can't believe George Carlin is gone. Man. What a loss. I know what I'll be putting in my Netflix queue this week.

Heaven just got little funnier yesterday.

Also how did it get to be June 23th already? Yikes.

* Yay for the American Idol result - I only watched bits and pieces but I heartily approve of the winner :)

* This will be my final post for a while. After tomorrow, I am off on a much needed vacation. So wishing those on my fl in the US -- an early happy Memorial Day weekend! Have fun and be safe. To everyone else, have a lovely weekend.

* Little Finney is on Law & Order.
