HELLO CHAPS AND CHAPETTES!!!

gawd, i really think her-story was made today (i'm going through a
feminist phase at the moment). i am of the belief (and i am unanimous
in this...) that we were witness to actual acting on today's show. and
it sorely grieves me - enuff to the point where i just had to have 2
lime jello sandwiches for supper instead of one - to attribute this
acting to our own hairstyler's nightmare - frantic. yes. gawd. i know
it's amazing - have another drink. don't mind if i do. what a show. in
fact, this was one of the best i've seen - so good, in fact, that it
inspired me to don body stocking and chuck & di slippers and address
you all this evening. 

what a hoot!! here's frantic frantically breaking open drawers of
carodead's beaureau and finding secret openings and pages fom THE
DIARY. there's ollie (after oliver cromwell - he had his 'air cut the
same way, you know), racing up the "mountain" towards the lodge, 
accompanied by that tension mounting music : da dum, DUM DUM DUM, da
dum DUM DUM DUM - well i near filled me depends. tears are corsing
down frantic's cheeks as she reads of carolegs' supsicions that h2d
may have killed nate - she also finds out about his affair with
con-her. carodead alludes to the fact that she just can't trust h2d
anymore - frantic gasps and gags as she reads about the same things
happening to *her* - large sums of money being withdrawn from the
bank, mysterious business trips with candycane, a friendly phone call
from deero the night before caro's "accident", references to
treacherous weather reports (h2d had told frantic the weather was
okay) and to a hoilday in sardinia or some -ia, when h2d told frantic
that he'd never been there before when they went on their honeymoon.
HA! so he danced the beach fantastic already!!! she's agog, agast and
agape; staggering about the lodge, clutching her forehead and running
her hands through her hair, without thought to ruining the style....
(wouldn't you think she'd have changed out of that bustiere thing she
had on - i mean, switzerland aint the tropics, if you know what i
mean). da dum DUM DUM DUM - there's ollie pounding thru the trees
towards the lodge and up the steps - he flings open the door and i
thought she'd shit for sure. just *brilliant* scenes between them -
and you don't know how many g&t's i had to down before i'd admit this
- she accusing him of everything, him admitting to nothing, screaming
at each other, snatching the journal pages from one another, him
feverishly trying to burn them, her darting about trying to stop him.
he really did look quite mad as he babbled on about loving her and how
paranoid carodead was blah blah. thank gawd frantic wasn't having it
- mind you, i may not have acted the same way, up there all alone. i
may have acquiesced to him until i was in a safer place to get away.
and when she bashed him with the poker!!!! DA DA DUM DUM DUM!! run
away run away!!!!!!!!!!! here she is, running sobbing down to the
tramcar, the mist is rising, it's getting dark. there he is,. lying
slumped in the chair, blood gushing from his 'ead. she gets on the
tram, she pushes the button, the car begins it's ascent. DA DUM, DUM
DUM DUM - where the FUCK did he come from, that's what *i* want to
know? here's ollie springing from nowhere - above, i think - into the
tramcar, clutching a rag to his bleeding 'ead - aaggggggHH! trapped!!!
i can hardly wait for tomorrow's episode - in fact, i'mnot going to
bed at all - just so's i don't miss it. *this* is what i'm on the ward
for - excitement, moider, the thrill of the chase - pass the jello,
it's gonna be a long nite.........

cheerio
sal the gal  

thought she was a gonner for sure.
