Megan's TV Recap Update

If you're a loyal Megan's Minute reader, you know that I've written full length recaps of "Desperate Housewives" since the beginning of the 2007-2008 TV season.  During the writers' strike, I began recapping "Lost" and picked up my recapping of "American Idol" from last year.

I now find myself over extended.  I continue to write weekly posts for Blogher.com (which I love), and daily posts for Video Runway (which I also love), and am trying to keep the quality and frequency of posts at Megan's Minute as high as always.

Well, I'm only half succeeding.  My priorities have to be Blogher and Video Runway since they're helping keep Daisy in dog food, and me in fancy handbags, but I'm determined to keep Megan's Minute the blog that I started and get such joy and pleasure from writing.  So something's gotta give.

What I'm going to do, starting with the 4/13 episode of "Desperate Housewives" is write shorter recaps, or what I call "Snap Recaps" of "DH" for the rest of the season.  I will continue to write full length "Lost" recaps---I realize I'm still two episodes behind on those, but I'm working on it---and when the season is over, I'll reassess where I'm at in time for next season.

I will however, no matter what, continue to write full length recaps of "Damages" whenever it returns.  (The latest estimate is January of 2009.)

So please bear with me as I try and get this time management thing down, and I hope you continue to come back often and enjoy Megan's Minute as much as I enjoy writing it.

We'll be patiently standing by. Glad you'll keep up with Damages since that's how I found your blog in the first place, though I'm here for LOST too :)

Hi Elysia,

I appreciate your patience and your loyalty. :)

Hi Megan,

I'm glad you decided on full-length Lost and Damages recaps. And with that knowledge I can wait a little longer. :o)

Thankfully,
Chris

Thanks Chris. I appreciate that.

I was holding my breath until I got to "What I'm going to do, starting with the 4/13 episode of "Desperate Housewives" is write shorter recaps, or what I call "Snap Recaps" of "DH" for the rest of the season." Then I exhaled. I'm glad you're not going to drop DH entirely. I love your point of view about the episodes and, of course, your incomparable humor.

Waiting for Damages to return helps me understand how Sopranos fans felt.

Hi Joy,

Thanks for being so nice.

I didn't want to give up "DH" entirely--especially during this very good season---but writing shorter recaps will help me post them more quickly.

The "DH" Snap Recaps for 4/13 and 4/20 will both post tomorrow. Feel free to let me know what you think.

And I'd love to see "Damages" begin earlier than next year as well, but the last I read, because of the strike that probably won't be the case.
