Important Trivia Night Question!

5 09 2009

For more than a month now, we’ve been having trivia night on Tuesdays at 7 central time.

As of this Tuesday, the new teen drama TV season will begin with the season 2 premiere of 90210.

I doubt anyone wants to play trivia instead of or while watching 90210.

My first instinct is to move it to another night then.  Mondays are obviously out because of One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl.  But I’m sure many of you also have must-see shows on Wednesdays and Thursdays as well.

I don’t think it’s fair to any of us to do it Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

So here are my questions:

Is there a night you’d want to have trivia?

Should it still be Tuesday nights, just before 90210 starts?

Or should trivia just be something we do in the off-season?

Please comment with your thoughts so I know how to proceed!





What’s YOUR Top 10? Part 2

2 09 2009

So, as you’ve noticed by now, I like doing a series of posts and finding YouTube videos to include.

But everytime I go on YouTube, I get lost in the sea of amazing clips and fan-made tributes, trailers and collections.  The Related Videos feature will one day be the death of me.

Honestly, it can be exhausting going through video after video to find the very best. So I’m going to turn it over to you.

I asked this in early July, but didn’t get very many responses.  Let’s change that this time!

Below are a bunch of categories/ideas and I want you to find your favorite videos to support them.

1. ____’s Top Kisses (example: Dylan and Kelly’s top kisses)

2. Movie Trailer for _____ (example: Movie trailer for Leyton)

3. Show X as Movie Y Style (example: One Tree Hill, The Notebook style)

4. ____’s Funniest Quotes/Scenes (example: Blair’s funniest scenes)

5. _____’s Best Moments (example: The O.C.’s best moments)

6. Show X Alternate Universe (example: Summer and Nathan)

7. ____’s Best Quotes/Scenes (Dawson’s best quotes)

There’s so much good stuff out there and my only regret is there isn’t time to watch it all.

Help a gal out, will ya?
