New Shows of the Fall!

So I'll admit it..I am a tv junkie. DVR is one of the greatest inventions ever. One of my favorite times of the year is seeing which new shows are coming out and deciding which ones to add my the dvr que.

So I'm going to give you a list of the new fall tv shows I am most excited for: (p.s. Sidra- I left the central times in just for you :) )

Heart of Dixie - Monday, Sept. 26 at 8/7 c
Summer is back and I'm beyond excited!! Not sure how much I love the concept of the show (NY doctor moves to Alabama)..but I love Rachel Bilson so I will definitely be watching. Keeping my fingers crossed Seth makes a guest appearance :)

X Factor - Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 8/7 c
Simon is back and I am pumped! Not as excited about Paula being back :/ I like the concept of the show - including bands, duets, and soloists, and no age limits- plus the judges mentor their contestants.

Whitney - Thursday, Sept. 22 at 9:30/8:30c
I've never seen her stand-up...but the commercials look promising!

New Girl - Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 9/8c
Ever since Elf I've loved Zoey Deschanel, can't wait to see what this show has to offer. E! ranked it the best new show of the fall...hope it lives up to all the hype!

Suburgatory Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 8:30/7:30c
I read a review that this was a mean-girls-esque show with tons of SNL guest stars...can't go wrong with that!

Up all Night Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 10/9c
I really like Maya Rudolph and Christina Applegate..hopefully this show can be as funny as the two of these ladies are.

Song of the Day: Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People - definitely one of the songs of the summer!

Why You Should Never Delete a Friend Off of Facebook...

So a while back I had one particular friend on Facebook that would drive me nuts. The daily posts of what he was eating, where he was going, and what day of his work schedule it was on a particular day drove me nuts. At one point I had enough, I just couldn't take it anymore. Something had to be done. So smart me thought, I'll just delete him, that way I won't have to deal with these ridiculous posts. Little did I know that I could have easily just "blocked" his status updates and would never see his updates when I logged in, and he would continue to see that we were still "friends".
A few months of facebook bliss passed when I got a friend request from him...oh crap I thought..he must have realized he was deleted as my friend. I hadn't really seen much of him so I wasn't really worried about whether or not he would notice if we were "friends" or not on facebook. A few days passed and I still hadn't decided what I wanted to do...ignore his request? or allow him to be my friend again?
During my lunch break one day I happened to run into him, it was already kind of awkward since the friend request was looming and I still hadn't accepted him..and he was the type that would definitely know. We started some small talk and a conversation about another mutual acquaintance of ours "defriending" him and not accepting his new friend request was brought up...this was just getting too awkward and I had to leave. The real icing on the cake was I later found out that he conveniently posted on his facebook that he would be at the store that I ran into him at...if he was my friend, I would have known this and could have avoided the whole situation.
So of course when I got home I thought, I can't add him right now..he'll totally know I was avoiding adding him as my friend..so I waited a few days and added him. And blocked his status updates.
The moral of this story is...don't delete someone that is annoying you on facebook, just simply block their posts, otherwise awkward encounters will happen, and you will be stuck in my situation.
