I have a question.......

Ok, so I have a strange question. A very, very, very strange one, that I hope someone on here can help me with. Ok so it's really 2 questions and here I go.

1). How come on CSI: Miami when the police go with them to a crime scene they are called Miami Dade Police Department. Now I looked it up on my old friend goggle and it is in fact called MDPD, but my question is why. In places such as New York, they are called New York Police Department (NYPD). So why does Miami have Dade in it?


2). So my second question is focused more on people from the UK, but anyone who knows this please help me out. I noticed the other day, that the channel LivingTv only airs CSI and CSI Miami. They do not air CSI NY. My question is why?

My Life....Update

Ok so here is a quick rundown of what has happened in my life since last Thursday (10th September). So basically that night, my computer blew up and I thought my life was over. Then the following day I had my driving test, which I failed, because my head was in the shed. Then I spent the next 5 days flipping between manic depression (because of failing) and trying to do everything in my power to get my computer fixed before Thursday just gone.

So luckily I did manage to get to computer back on time, but I lost almost everything on one of my drives. Luckily I managed to use my brains and get some of the stuff off of the drive whilst I had it put into a temp computer.

Also I have been working really hard on new vids this past week or so. I had 1 completed on my drive when it blew, and one almost done. I managed to get the completed one back, and the raw file of the other one. It took forever to get all of my software back on my computer, and then I though, finally, I can start vidding again.

So then WMM (Windows Movie Maker) decided to started acting up. I couldn't skip forward on a clip, but after about 3 hours, most of which spent on the internet, I managed to solve this problem. Then I finally managed to get the video, back to how it was before the crash, and improve it slightly. Then I couldn't publish it. Then I thought, well I can't actually put it on here without being banned, but you pretty much get the idea.


So Then it was back to the internet, and everyone kept telling me the same thing. Delete the one with a red X in it and then publish, but of course I couldn't see one with an X. Then after many more hours, I found that there was one with a red x, but it was only about 0.01 seconds long and couldn't find it when the video was in timeline, and then when I put it to story board, there it was, hiding behind other clips.

So finally I published and finished the video, although I wasn't in love with it I uploaded it to YT. Within a couple of hours I had about 90 hits and then I had to go out for the night and when I came back to check toady, about 20ish hours later, I found I had over 300 hits; which has made me very happy. Especially since it was a new couple/show (See Link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHD61HfDLLw )

I've also been watching a lot of movies. I have watched Awake (Great), Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (ok), He's just not that into you (rubbish), Made of Honour (actually good, better than I thought) and P.S. I love you (which I am still watching right now, but so far pretty good.).

So yesterday was the Emmy's and my post on that will be up in the next few days. I am off work now until the 30th of September. So look out for more vids and blogs off me until then.

Fall TV Season is HERE.........Nearly

So in a couple of weeks all of my favourite TV shows from across the pond will be retuning. I am currently making my way through the episode of Bones; I am on season 4 episode 16, right now with only 9 more episodes to go until I am up to date. Which I think is pretty good considering I only started watching the show about 5 weeks ago. After that I then have 2 seasons of Gossip Girl to watch and then I will be happy.

But at the moment I am considering leaving Gossip Girl, and watching it during the Xmas hiatus, but I guess I'll make mind up when I've watched all of Bones to see if I have enough time before the new season starts. Also below is a list of TV shows I will be watching when they return this fall. There are a couple more, but this is my current up to date list.

Private Practice, 10 p.m. (ABC)

Out of them all I am most looking forward to NCIS, Criminal Minds and Private Practice. But let's be honest, do the people at ABC hate the fans of Private Practice? It was the first show to finish airing episodes and now it is the last one to come back.

In other non TV news, nothing much has happened. I have my Driving Test this Friday (11th) but to be honest I'm not sure what way it will go. I was really confident, but then the instructor changed the car the other week and now we have a Fiat 500, instead of a KA. Which is really worrying me as I have had one lesson in it so far and will only have 1 more before my actually test. But hey, whatever happens happens.

Also I am currently in love with this song: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMlWKFWTFPw

It is on the new Promo for Greys Anatomy and I can't stop listening to it. I was even singing it in work today!

Also I have made a couple of new vids, so check them out if you get a chance.

Yesman NCIS Cross over?

Yesman – NCIS Cross over?

While watching the movie Yesman, I saw that Sasha Alexander (Kate) was in this movie, and I thought finally she is in something. Then as I watched more of it (which I had to force myself to do) I saw that Rocky Carroll (Vance) was also in the movie. Neither of them had very large roles, but to me, it was like the NCIS cross over that will never happen.

Of course I only watched the movie, as Jim Carrey was in it and most rod the time his movie rock. But this one just didn't do it for me. It was good, but it could have been better.

I'm back.........

So finally I see that my blog is back up and so I thought I'd better post a quick update in case it vanishes again. Ok so nothing major has happened in my life. I have booked my driving test and basically that's about it.


Life....work.... everything has basically stayed the same. Ohh on another note, I am majorly skint at the moment, and cant wait for payday on TUESDAY!!!! Thank God, I have never been this broke since I started work. I had more outgoings this month than normal, and it has really affected me.

Also I have been making loads of new videos recently, so please if you get chance, check them out:- http://www.youtube.com/user/vicki24c

Also I am so glad that the blogs are finally back up and running and I hope that it lasts and that my blog never goes away again.

My Sister's Keeper: Movie


So on Friday I took a day off of work (yes another day off!). And me and my mother went to the pictures together. It was the first time I have ever been to the pictures with my mother and the first time she had been in over 20 years.

So we went to see "My Sister's Keeper", which I will admit was AMAZING. I cried my eyes out watching it and the acting in it was brilliant. At first I was a little bit worried, as Diaz doesn't normally do drama movies, Abigail is still a young girl and Sofia has only ever acted in TV shows such as Medium. But I did not have to worry as they were all amazing.


The story in it broke my heart and I must admit that they choose the right actors. I know that the Fanning's sisters were suppose to be in this film, but I don't think that they could have done as good a job as Sofia and Abigail did portraying sisters.

Overall a very emotional film, which I would recommend to anyone (especially girls/women), but I do have one piece of advice about this movie. TAKE TISSUES WITH YOU! YOU WILL CRY!!!!

Welcome to a week in my life.


Welcome to a week in my life. This week has been a strange one, and also the reason why I haven't been online as much as normal. Let me explain.

On Tuesday of this week I had my driving theory test, which I spent the previous weekend revising/studying for. For 2 whole days my life revolved around, what the breaking distance is at 70mph in normal/good conditions and so on.

So basically last weekend sucked, and so when I finally got to sit the test on Tuesday, I prayed I would pass it, so that I could finally have my time back as my own and finally be able to get further in my driving "career". And so the good news is that I passed my test, which is a huge relief.


Also this week, we have had the death of 2 celebrities: - Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson both of whom will be missed by many people. In other news it is finally Friday and I have lots to do this weekend. I have a video which I have to finish (and ER one, and the links will be posted here as soon as I have finished it!), a couple of movies to watch, a couple of shows to watch and also some movies/episodes to edit.

So I leave you all now as I sit here watching Eden Lake, the first of many films I will be watching this weekend.

My Painful Day

There is only one word to describe the day I have had....painful. Let me tell you why.

I took the day off of work today and decided to spend it doing one of my favourite things, shopping. So I went with my mother and my auntie and set myself a limit of £500. Well I spent over £220 in just one shop, but managed to stay on budget, which is good for me. Overall I think I spent about £400 which isn't too bad considering how much stuff I bought.


Now I have to spend the weekend sorting through all of my old things and chucking things out and generally sorting out the pit which is my bedroom. But, the painful part, is not spending/parting with the money, it is my feet. I have been home now to 3 hours, and I've had a bath and yet my feet are still killing me.

But apart from my pain, I'm really happy about how today went. I went treated my auntie and mother to s Starbucks, which turned out great as the guy serving us only charged us for a cookie and a bottle of water which came to £2.50 and didn't charge us for the coffees which we ordered (which would have been around£8.00 on top). So that also really made my day.

Apart from that I have nothing else really to report; I have made a couple more videos, which are all on YouTube. A link to my page is here>>>> http://www.youtube.com/user/vicki24c click on it and see my latest work, comments/feedback are great and help me to improve on my skills (since at the moment I don't really have that any).

So that's it a guess for today, I'm off now to try and start sorting out my junk/crap/stuff in a huge pile. Wish me luck!!!

ER - Season 15

I was going through my files last night and found this, which I meant to post a few months ago. Since I am still working on my Goodbye ER blog and my ER season finale blog, I thought that I would post this.


ER is a show which is very close to my heart. It was one of the very first shows which I began watching and fell in love with. With reports surfacing that Season 15 is to be the last ever season of ER, I have just one simply question: - Is this a blessing in disguise?

Granted ER has been great viewing over the years, but I think that over the past 2 years it has been going downhill. Season 14 had a very disappointing season finale. Ever since the amazing season finale of 21 guns, ER seems to be trying to top it but are unable to do so. This episode didn't pack any punches or even having a griping storyline. I was told that someone within the main cast would be leaving this episode and we would have to wait until the next season to find out if they survived (which kind of reminded me again of 21 guns). But as I waited and waited, the less I believed in the ER dream.

When the ending we were promised finally happened, I was left disappointed. I'm not sure what I was expecting but I was still disappointed. But reports have said that we will find out who the fatality was when the show returns for (what has been reported to be), its final season in the fall. But come on how could anyone survive it and if by some miracle they did, they would be terribly burnt. But I guess only time will tell.

Overall I am still looking forward to season 15, but if the reports are true that it is the last one, maybe it is a blessing in disguise after the last few episodes.
