Hiya everyone.  I've been kinda quiet lately 'cause I can't
seem to get caught up on my paper work.  But I have been
reading so there'll be a few replies as well as comments.

For starters, I wholeheartedly agree with the offing of Boink
and Coitus.  Which one of TPTB claimed Carly was such a fan
hit????  She is a medicore talent (and that's giving her something)
and does not, I repeat NOT deserve a major role in not one but
three stories.  I can't believe this nonsense.  They keep putting
these no-talent, expressionless (or overly expressive) actors and
actresses out front burner and push such talents like Jack, Julie,
and Marcus off to the side for cameos.  Where do the loyalties lie?
(Crystal must be Boinking someone other that Boink himself)  While
I was all set to like Roger they make him a warm loving artist?!?
Oh for crying out loud, how incredibly lame.  Marlena acts and looks
like a mannequin.  There's no emotion.  Someone referrred to her as
big bird, well, Big Bird has a personality and depth.  She's more like
a stuffed bird.  And Roman???  Why does he always look like he just
got a whiff of something foul?  This little brother crap sucks big time.
I despise Roman all he does is pace the floor at the PD and frown at the
camera.  I am so glad he has not made plans to stick around Salem.  And
the medivan???  I just can't believe this sh*t.  Carly will singlehandedly
solve all of Salems drug problems by driving a small minivan into the
depths of the ghetto, armed with a pamplet on drug abuse and a box of
band-aids.  Oh goodness me, why hasn't anyone else thought of this?
It was so simple.  I'm gonna write my congressman.  A minivan....who
would've guessed?????

I find myself watching the commercials now, and
I gotta say they're far more interesting that what's presently
going on.  And this Lisanne crap is also getting on my nerves.  They
took a potentially good actress and turned her into Larry's occasional
boytoy.  What more can they do to this show you ask???  Well, I'm
gonna tell you.  They take Daytimes worst leading (yeah right) lady
and make her die nobly by refusing chemo.  Come on, a young mom opts
death over life?  No way.  I watched my mom die of cancer when I was
twelve and believe me the one thing she desparately wanted was to see
her children grow up.  I don't know why DOOL can't come up with a different
way to kill her off.  How about a car accident?  Heck she's had enough
of them.  Or even something more in line with over and done withness
like an annuerism (sp?) or a heart attack.  While I would never wish
this sort of fate for a person, I feel that Ick deserves to go fast as
not to compound my hatred for the character.  And Tracey Middledork or
whatever her name is, what a waste of airtime.  She'e getting far too
much I think.  And whoever made that remark about her grabbing her front
teeth, I agree it's just too much.  And God do I hate Jesse.  There's
just something I don't like about him.  Another thing, why do all crimminals
have to be a minority?  For crying out loud we're not all bad.  Some of us
are hard working honest folks, who may occasionally bounce a check,
accidently of course, but for heaven sake.  Sheesh.

Whew, that's a whole lot of bitchin'.  I think I'll turn more positive.

What I'd like to see is a lot LESS, like maybe once a month, of Carly,
much much much more of Jack (what ever happened to the theory that
while the other half of a supercouple is gone, the other is supposed
to carry the story?), much more of Julie and more people interaction.
You know, I am a bit surprised at Drake's wanting Brady to die with
Ick.  I just find that odd esp. coming from a dad himself.  I would
like to see a sort of bondage, I mean bonding of Larry and John after
Ick departs.  You know, kinda like even though Larry doesn't LIKE John,
blood still is thicker than water.  Beside, I kind of liked it when
John first found out Larry was his brother.  Remember when he had him
at gun point?  Larry really did look like he cared.  Who knows, it could
happen (though, I ain't holdin' my breath).  I would also like to see
some continuity.  Now there's a concept.  That crack about Philip being
Steve was in very poor taste.  Also wasn't Molly pissed when Ginger
didn't show up for their little rendezvous at Alice's?  What ever happened
with Ginger's Winnebego in the ditch?  I guess the writers figured that
since we hadn't seen them in a week we'd just sort of forgot they existed?

Oh well.  Signing off.....
