When I was 26, I attempted to write about something I liked everyday. That didn't exactly work out. I am going to try something a bit different this time.

Spoiler alert....
I tend to get overly excited about stuff, nearly to the point of obsession. When I am first introduced to something that I really like, I have to find out everything I possibly can about it. The length of this phase of my relationship with it varies and eventually a) I find out everything there is to know about it, b) I lose interest or c) a causes b. Part of the whole information gathering expedition, particularly for books or television, is looking at spoilers. I have to find out what happens next. One week between episode is too long. Especially if I have the option of finding out sooner. Invariably, the show is kinda ruined because I saw some stuff beforehand and I know I really show stay away from looking at the scoop, but I can't help myself. Because of this information obsession, I actually know great places to get scoop, especially for TV. My two favourite places for TV spoilers are Ask Ausiello and Watch with Kristin. Anyway, today's favourite things are spoilers (I love them and hate them in equal measure).

Next Item in Gallery....
On my everyday travels through the internet, I go to a few different entertainment websites. My favourite ones are for Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide mainly because they feature slideshows based on different themes. Television Without Pity also occasionally has amusing slideshows. I like seeing what the theme for the slideshow is along with the captions for the various pictures. I don't really look at all of the different slideshows because some of the topics do not interest me in anyway, but if something looks remotely interesting, I am totally there. So today's favourite things are entertainment website slideshows.

And that's what I did all day.......
I pretty much go on the internet everyday. In fact, I probably can't go more than a few hours without going on the internet....which sounds startlingly like an addiction.....which it probably is...(Me addicted to something? Never......Oh!) (I think I just used way to many of these ".....") (I am also using too many brackets (Crud!)) Where was I? Oh right...the internet! I have a few websites that I check first thing such as my iGoogle page, Yahoo!, Twitter, Facebook, and my blog, anyone of which can lead me on some sort of timewasting yet enjoyable journey through the internet. Checking one thing leads me to something else which leads me to something else which leads me to IMDB, which wastes even more time because checking one thing leads me to something else which leads me to something else which is probably why I am still unemployed. For those that are unaware, the IMDB or Internet Movie Database is a website where pretty much anyone who has ever worked on anything TV or movie related is listed. So if you are watching a TV show or something and you recognize someone but can't place where you know them from, you can go to the IMDB and type in the show name and Voila! For TV, it helps if you know either the character name or episode name/number. Occasionally, you will read the list of what the actor has done and still be completely baffled but at least you tried. The IMDB also has Trivia, Memorable Quotes, Actor biographies, and Viewer reviews and forums. I end up spending way too long on that website.
