HEY I'M A DORK!!! Mail won't run on Sunday's, even for OCTOBER ROAD!

So, here I am on a very beautiful Saturday morning, enjoying a much needed sleep in, when all of a sudden I wake up to realize, MAIL DOES NOT RUN ON SUNDAY'S!!! If I am to take into consideration that my local post office is always slow and running behind I have to mail my letters today, before 12 noon Pacific Standard Time!

YIKESSSS, YEEP, I BETTER GET TO TYPING.My plan is to send 5 letters to Ms. Sweeney and 5 letters to Mr. McPherson. I have two letters to do for my mother and sister. They were part of the Pay October Road Forward campaign and they are to busy to do letters themselves. I of course will be having them sign them.

So if you are like me and live in the Northern part of California you might want to consider mailing your letters for the October Road campaign, today. But if you are reading this, it is probably to late anyway, so have heart. I'm sure your post office isn't as back woods as mine and mailing your letters on the 9th will be fine for you! OK, got to rush off now! I've only got about an hour & 1/2 left to get them posted. Woooo HOOO October Road!!!Tootle Pip Everyone!

P.S. I did it! I got them all in the mail by 12:15pm PST. I sent 6 letters to Mcpherson, 5 from me and one from my sister Amy. I sent 7 letters to Ms. Sweeney, 6 were from me, and one from my sister Amy. All the letters were different. I did send two letters to each covering McPherson's quote to E-Online's Kristen. Any whoo, glad I got them out today!

October Road ratings, numbers, graphs, and all the stuff I don't get!

I love the new blog post at www.about.com by Rachel. It was so good to get on this morning and find that link in my in box. She said some really great things about October Road and it's fan's. I love the statement about the Nielsen Ratings being less then correct. Here's the link to the article, leave a comment if you can. http://tvdramas.about.com/b/2008/06/04/what-was-the-most-heart-

I also wanted to mention again how great it is to see our numbers at Hey Nielsen be so much better. They might have dropped a bit yesterday, but the past five days we have been doing pretty good.

I was doing some digging at the website www.tvbynumbers.com because I wanted to see our numbers for October Road. What I found there was a bunch of numbers I didn't know what they meant. I didn't want to risk looking even more stupid, so I can tell you this. Our numbers were not high enough to make ABC bring October Road back instead of Wife Swap. I can tell you that some of our rankings were so close to Wife Swap I'd like to scream.

But the site is based only on Nielsen ratings. I don't think they are as accurate as they say they are. I really believe the numbers for our show were a bit higher. It looks like we pulled a 3.4 million viewership for the finally. I thought it was a 3.5 but one tenth off ain't that bad.

I think the key to getting people to watch October Road is advertising. I think we are the key to that advertising. Word of mouth, blogging, Internet posting, and all out shameless plugging is what this show needed.

I sure wish I would of known last Season my show was in trouble. A simple heads up by the network in a commercial would of been great. Why don't more networks do that, run a 30 second spot on all the shows they are thinking of canceling??? I mean let us know so we can take action soon enough to make a difference. If we had been working from day one on the Pay October Road Forward campaign, I think so many more people would of been reached.

Well that is all water under the bridge now! We are focusing on asking ABC/Disney to give us another chance, to bring these numbers up. They brought Wife Swap and October Road was right on their heals for ratings, that I don't get. My sister said maybe it's cuz the whole family can watch Wife Swap! She changed her answer quickly when I looked at her with disgust and confussion. She said, "Oh maybe not all the time!" LOL.

Tell me what you think about this subject of Nielsen ratings, numbers, and what they mean to our fight to bring October Road back to television.

Ok, end of Rant!

EDDIE LATEKKA from October Road, such a cool guy to me!

OK, I can't stop laughing because I am such a DORK! I can not figure out how to make a picture smaller on photo bucket. Well let me rephrase that, I can't figure out how to re-size the picture at the bottom of this page. I think it is so funny how I posted all these pictures and this one picture I can't seem to make any smaller. If you scroll down now you will see what I'm talking about. It's a surprise so I won't say any more then this. It is so big, I think I look like a freak for posting it. But I had to, I guess because I am a freak, a freak for all things October Road! So today's entry on this blog is all about me being a complete dork, in every sense of the word, just like Eddie Latekka says on the show. I love how cool he is! Eddie is the type of everyday guy that seems to be excepting of everyone. It's kind of like thinking the real popular guy will never want to talk to me, and then boom, Eddie walks up to you at Sully's bar and says, "What goes on?" I mean look at the group of guy's he hangs out with, they are all not what you call the cool group. But they are a group of guy's that seem to think they are all cool, except Eddie Latekka. He doesn't have to think he is cool himself, because everyone knows he already is. With the guy's he seems to be the only one to call them all "DORKS"! The difference is when Eddie calls you a dork, he does it with such warmth you know he is really giving you a compliment. Any way's today isn't all that heavy, maybe because over at the LJ blog I was pretty heavy. But if you have scrolled down to the bottom of the page you will see what I mean when I say I can't stop laughing. It's all October Road's fault! End of Rant!
