State of the Blog: End of January 2015 Edition

STATE OF THE BLOG

2014 Totals

I usually do this around New Years but I have been lethargic on many things lately and the blog has suffered some for it. Anyway here is the month by month totals for 2014:

January: 6

February: 8

March: 6

April: 10

May: 10 

June: 6

July: 6

August: 1

September: 1

October: 1

November: 1

December: 1

TOTAL: 57

Monthly Average: 4.75

Again I passed the yearly goal of 32 posts per year but as you can see the last few months I've been dragging my feet. I want to improve on this but I don't know if I will. Anyway lets look at how 2014 matches up with past years:

2006 - 32
2007 - 43
2008 - 36
2009 - 34
2010 - 18
2011 - 20
2012 - 38
2013 - 93 

2014 - 57

Yearly Average: 41.22 

With 2014 being slightly above average and 2013 being such a huge year the yearly average is now 41 posts per year. Even though 2014 slacked in the last 5 months. Oh well whatever.

Edit: Technically I posted this entry in the early minutes of 01 February 2015: I backtimed it a little to try to keep the monthly quota thing going.

Happy New Year 2014 to 2015 Edition

Well it is that time of year again where we say goodbye to one year and hello to another.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm too lazy to do my year end post counting thing right now, not sure when I'll get around to it. The last 3 months or so I have been very lazy and very lackadaisical about my blogging.

Self appointed posting quota Obligatory November post

EEK! It is the last day of November and I haven't made a post on this blog until just now. UGH last month I missed posting on my Curly W Cards blog this would be two months in a row for that blog if I don't do something. My other card blog I had a contest that I haven't posted the results of yet. Double UGH and ACK!

Now if I don't come up with something to post in the next few hours I won't have anything for any of the blogs. Wait I have this post explaining my personal goal of posting at least one post per month here, and hopefully on my two card blogs.

Dang another one with a misspelling. I think the "is" was supposed to be "in".

Cote de Pablo New Gig

For those who thought that Cote de Pablo had killed her acting career last year when she quit her gig as Ziva David in the highly successful NCIS well you ain't seen the last of her yet. The beautiful Cote has been cast as Shirah in "The Dovekeepers" a four-hour CBS miniseries to air next year 2015. Based on the 2011 historical novel of the same name by Alice Hoffman the project is being produced by husband and wife team of Mark Burnett and Roma Downey. The story follows four extraordinary women  whose lives intersect in the fight for survival during the siege of Masada (around 70 AD). The character of Shirah is wise in the ways of magic and medicine is mysterious fiercely independent with uncanny insight and power.

Meanwhile Cote wrapped up filming earlier this year on a film that is in post-production titled "The 33". The movie is based on the real-life events of the 2010 Chilean mining disaster where 33 miners were trapped and originally thought to be dead and never found based purely on the history of the mine. Miraculously all 33 minors were rescued from the mine. Cote plays the wife of one of the minors trapped. According to the Wikipedia page for the movie it is a Chilean film spoken in Spanish. IMDB lists it as a USA made film but makes no mention about the spoken language. One of the chat board threads for the movie says it was shot in English for a wider international audience. Anyway it was filmed in Chile and Columbia between December 2013 and February 2014. Cote's role was filmed during the later Columbian filming in February.

For some reason all my posts about Cote de Pablo or NCIS get big views and are some of my most popular posts on this hardly read blog.

NCIS: New Orleans: I Am So Psyched!

(Image from claimfame.com)

The latest show in the NCIS Franchise (Technically the JAG Franchise) NCIS: New Orleans kicks off this fall on Tuesday 23 Sept 2014 CBS 9:00 PM ET. The show will take the slot following the current mother show NCIS, which means that sister show NCIS: Los Angeles moves to Monday nights. I hope it does well. I plan on watching it and hoping it has a long run, even though I was not real big on the idea of having a third NCIS show when the other two were still super hot.

So far there have been some on-air promos telling that the show is coming. Images in the promo appear to only be stuff from the backdoor pilot that aired during season 11 of NCIS in the two episode Crescent City story (pt1, pt2)
