Hi Ho everyone.  I have about two hours to kill (Dept. Party
with an open bar--big mistake.  5 Coor's Lights, a glass of
Chardonay with Dinner and an Irish Cream to top it off)  Let's
just say I'm flying pretty high about now.  So if I ramble on
it the liquor talking (hee hee)

Anyways, the part about Marcus in the Malcolm X glasses, I think
they look stupid too [I'm black so I'm allowed to say that ;-) ].
I guess it's the 'look' these days.

Carly and Liasion's (I mean Larry) song Fascination, well I just
hate, no HATE it.  I think it's because it's because it has something
to do with Carly.  I really LOATHE the actress and character.  I am
so VERY glad that Kristen Alfosonso (whatever) is coming back she
can KICK Carly's butt in the looks and talent dept. she'll just have
have to insist that Bo be Peter.  RKK has about as much talent as my
shoe and a personality to match.  He always acts like he's constipated.
For crying out loud, have a Pepto cocktail.

John and Hope, hmm Sal, that has potential.  But of course this is
DOCL and it will be Carly and everyone single.  Hell, I'll bet that
the put her with John and make Larry and him vie for the same woman.
(note:  YUCK YUCK YUCK).  Larry is such a good villian, they really
screwed up BIG TIME pairing him with Carly.  Now, I understand there are
people who like her, but I can't.  I've tried.  When she first came
to Salem I was only half watching, but the more I got into it, the
more annoyed I got with her.  I wasn't able to watch the Cruise of
Deception stuff (school and no VCR) so I came in around the time
I was stuck home for a month and a half with Mono and Pneumonia
Oct. of 90 (or was is 89)  and got 'into' it again.  From what I saw,
she lied from the get go.  About who she was and what she wanted.  She
was on nearly every day then too.  If she had been honest with Bo, I
think he would have been more than happy to help her get Francois back.
In this day and age, arranged marriages are nearly unheard of.  So we
have a Princess of a mystery country and a Prince of another who are supposed
to get married as per their parents instruction.  How stupid.  Not to mention
the distruction of Vic after their marriage.  I think it's tacky for
Carly to walk down the Isle in full white wedding garb twice.  That's just
my opinion, call me old fashioned.  Not to mention walking by herself.
What, is that supposed to be a 90s thing?  I just don't know where the
'errs come up with this stuff?  Another thing, O find it hard to believe
that people are so forgiving.  Alice had to have a pacemaker put in thanks
to her lies.  To me, that's serious stuff.  Steve lost his life
to that man, Jenn got raped.  In the meantime, Steve, Kayla, Shane,
Nick, Eve, Emmy, Melissa, Molly, Tanner, Brian, Ginger, soon Julie all
leave.  And what's left?  Carly.  What ever happened to diversity.  
Now, I'll admit a lot of their stories lack a lot of substance but
they all out shined Carly.  Esp. the veterans.  Julie has more talent
and is MUCH more beautiful than Carly could ever want to be and she's
getting the boot.  Where is the fairness in this?  Since when does
a woman have to be young to be a beauty.  I find it very distressing
that DOOL treats it's loyalties like that.  I just don't buy the 'we
can't come up with a story' BS.  I'm no writer but no story?  Writers
block?  Even Matt Ashford can come up with a story and a good one no
less.  They did a good job with the Isabella story but the John identity,
(just WHO is John anyway?)  sure he's Forrest, but WHY did his mom
ship him off to America?  That was never explained.  Why would it be
assumed that we, the fans want to know more about a total stranger
(Carly) than someone who's been on for so much longer.  I know probably
some of you are thinking, if she's so unhappy with the show, why watch,
well, because of things like the Monday last week with Jack and Jenn.
And the Isabella story.  They can pull of a few good days and a story
if they want to.  But the good never outweighs the bad.  If things
don't improve by next year, I'm gonna nix watching.  I don't have time
to sit around and hope today'll be the day the get off their asses and
make this a show that is not to be missed like it was when I was in
high school.

Oh dear, I have gone on haven't I.  Oh well, I have a headache now.
Stupid show...........................Boysies
