I am a bad blogger!

I have not updated for a few days, wanna know why?

I have not watched any TV since the weekend. Oi, how atrocious of me to not watch TV when I am trying to run a TV opinions blog! What can I say, I have been a busy bunny — spending time with my fiance, going to the cinema and doing one of my favourite things…shopping shopping shopping.

I have a whole world of shows to catch up with though, all my UK soaps and American reality. I have no plans over the weekend, so I am going to get busy then and you can expect lots of opinions winging their way to you.

Take the hassle out of adding blog pictures

One thing that I like to do on my blogs, not just here at Jeoberpta, but on all of my blogs…is include images in my posts — I think visuals always help and they add a certain style to a blog post.

What I usually do is write a post, then think about what picture would look nice and fit in with it, then I start searching free photo sites and google image search and the like — once I find one I like I have to check I am allowed to use it, save it, resize it, upload it and insert it. It’s a bit of a hassle.

Blog Pictures | acobox.com

So, was I ever glad to come across AcoBox.com a few days ago! They offer free blog pictures, but what makes it so great is that I don’t have to worry about checking if I am allowed to use the image or not — if it’s on the site it’s OK to use. I also don’t have to save it and upload it before use as they host it for me and should it need resizing, I don’t even have to do that manually as it can all be done on site.

They just took all of the hassle of adding blog pictures to posts. Hurrah.

Need Survey Software?

Ever taken those consumer research type surveys online? You must have, everyone has. I take them quite often as I am a member of many ‘Get Paid To’ type sites that offer you rewards for doing so. If I ever need to set one up myself, which I may well do in the near future due to a job I am doing for my boyfriends boss, I will need some reliable Survey Software and I know you can get just that from Inquisite.com

Won’t have too much time for television..

…because I won a Wii, Oh happy days.

I imagine that I will be playing that like a crasy lady over the next few weeks. I have De Blob for it and plan on borrowing a few other games from my fiance and my brother.

Having said that this blog hasn’t exactly been filled with content since I changed direction with it and turned it into my television opinion blog, which is strange because I do watch a lot of TV and I do love to rant about it!

I must try harder.

DeathRace was OK!

We did go to see Death Race on Tuesday evening, and we are glad we did.

An online friend insisted we should go and told me I could slap him if we didn’t like it, this was a pretty dangerous offer on his part as I am very very hard to please when it comes to films and we’d seen a trailer and thought it didn’t look very good.

But he was right, we did rather like it. Although there were certain things about it that didn’t make sense and are still bothering me — but I am like that with all films, I like everything to add up in the end.

Still, 7/10 — and that’s a really high score from me.

Death Race, to see or not to see?

We have ticket so see Death Race at the cinema tomorrow night, for free, I don’t do paying for the cinema. But I don’t know if we will go or not. The fiance and I are terrible when it comes to films, we are very hard to please which is why we go on these free screenings — if we didn’t pay to see it we don’t feel as bad if it’s no good. Also we go to them ‘blind’, we don’t watch trailers or read synopsis or anything.

However the last time we went to see one (Pineapple Express, I liked it, he didn’t) we saw a trailer for this one…and because of that neither of us really want to go because we weren’t really impressed with the trailer, but then we never are.

We’re so picky and annoying. It’s free, we should totally just go right? But then, what’s the point if it’s going to be rubbish?

Writing this blog post did not help me come to a decision at all.

What do you get up to then?

As I have already said, I am but a creature of the night who doesn’t keep the usual hours. I also work from home, and my fiance works lates so it works out well for us. I am going to tell you about an average day in the life of the Viki.

Get up around 2pm, make myself a cup of tea and maybe get some breakfast – I hate getting up, absolutely the worst part of the day. I have to literally drag myself outta my pit.

I get dressed…or….ok no I don’t, I just stay in my PJs and hop straight on the computer to start work. I mean to get dressed, but usually a few hours pass before I actually do it.

I work until around 5pm when I break off for my tea – I have the same thing every day, a chicken tikka and salad sandwich, YUM. This is also when the fiance starts work so I wave him off on his way.

I will then watch television or go out for a few hours.

At 8pm I hop on my elliptical for around 45 minutes 5 nights a week, the other 2 nights I go out to the pub or cinema at around that time.

I then go back home, watch television for a while, have something to eat (usually a bowl of rice krispies).

The fiance arrives home at 11pm and he then cooks us our tea, I’d cook it but I have no abilities in the kitchen..other than doing the washing up. We chat and watch television for a while.

At around 2am I head back to the computer where I start my second job. I finish at 5am. I spend an hour or so doing my own thing online and then head to bed for the day.

That’s about it.
