If there is anyone reading this who can talk to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, please do. Talk, slap some sense into…whatever. This seems like a no-brainer to me. Pay the writers what they deserve for filling our lives with joy and happiness everyday. I am distraught over this and as more and more shows are affected, I become more and more affected.Â
Over the years, I’ve become more emotionally mature and stopped crying when Texas loses a football game (a good thing I that happened before this season), I now, however, have this haunting feeling that the writer’s strike is going to cause a regression. My emotional progress and development is now at stake–along with the livelihoods of all of the talented writers…I know.
Can you believe that freaking Carson Daly? Doesn’t he know that nobody cares that he even he has a show since TRL? As huge as crossing the line is, he’s gonna have to do A LOT more than that to get people to watch his show.
I love Life, the show and the general or universal condition of human existence.
I would like to thank Tyra, Jay and the rest of the Top Model crew for making me look better in pictures.  For the last 9 cycles, I’ve been learning unconsciously, through osmosis.  I can now look mean and pretty at the same time…and you know I can smile with my eyes…Tyra loves that.
Some senses are known for being more closely tied to your memory than others. I’ve heard smell is one of the strongest. For example, if I ever smell Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers, I’m immediately in the Actis Jr. High girls locker room. It’s a good thing that there’s not a ton of girls spritzing that on their pulse point anymore.I found a new time machine the other night. My DVR’s scheduled recordings menu. Here are the shows that I permanently deleted, some sadly, some more than happily.
- Veronica Mars
- Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
- Gilmore Girls
- I Want to be a Hilton
- Bedford Diaries
- Runaway
- Britney & Kevin: Chaotic
- Andy Baker, P.I.
I wish, oh how I wish, that I’d written them all down. That’s about half of the list and each of them whisks me off to a different time. Some of the deletes were harder to confirm than others. All those tough decisions, yet I couldn’t pull the trigger on Scott Baio is 45…and single. 
Giddy. Giddy, giddy, giddy! That’s how I feel right now. I’ve got a new set-up. It’s better, faster, stronger. It’s like the Bionic Woman of blogs. Except this better than the show. Fo real.
Hi, I’m Amber and I love television. I’m also pretty fond of Austin and life in general.

I’m lucky enough to work at The CW Austin & Austin News, where there’s awesome people and a TV in my office that I’m encouraged to keep on. See, dreams do come true.
