Hello folks.  Welcome back all you holiday vacationers.
Did we all have a good time???

Jack was FABULOUS on Tuesday.  That's what I want to see.
Tension.  Not really fights, but more misunderstandings
that are vented in the open.  Jenn was pretty good with
him too.  I wish they'd do more with him.  It's such a
waste to watch him (Jack) talk to himself.  I think what
he said makes sense.  And his references to Harper were
a nice touch.  When you think about it, everything Jack
said was true.  If it weren't for the Hortons, they'd be
homeless, Jack wouldn'd have a job.  I wish Jack would
confide in Jo.  You know the mother/son bond that is so
difficult to break when you get married or are thinking
about getting married.  I think it would build his 
character.

I also thought Marlena's reaction to John with another
woman was good.  Too bad Wayne's hanging around.  He's
so annoying.  I think (I forgot her name already) the
assistant DA or whatever she is, is very attractive and
*tall*.  I'm not quite sold on the chemistry yet.  I'll
give it a bit more time.  But I have a feeling I'll like
her.  I hope she nails Kim to the wall.

I was a bit surprised at the boxing scenes.  They actually
weren't that bad.  I think they placed a little too much
emphasis on it as a positive sport.  I have a few problems
with a sport that allows two people to beat the hell out
of each other while you take bets on who loses consciousness
first.  I think it's barbaric.  But that's just my opinion.
I did get to see Tim.  I still think he's a doll.  I thought
he left?  I wish Billiegoat would get run over by a steamroller.
She has got to be the second most annoying character on the
show.  She has gotten way, way, way too much airtime.  It's
sad to think we are going to be seeing much more of her now
that Julie is going.  

I find it amazing how DOOL is supposed to be about the Hortons.
Just how many Hortons do we see on a regular basis anyway?

Alice and Tom
Jenn
Julie
Bill (occasionally)
Jack (cause he married a Horton)
Bo (same as above)
Shawn Douglas (son of a Horton)

If they are supposed to be the main family why aren't the
on the most?  They have more than enough people in the
family.  Mike could come back, Laura could come out of
it, Julie's son could come back (I forgot his name).
Melissa could come back, etc. etc.  I really hope Hope
comes back to reclaim her son.  Maybe she could talk
Peter into coming back.  Either that or have a little
chat about RKK's portrayl (sp?) of Bo.  I want action.
I want her to come back and turn Carly into dog food.
Wait, I got it........Lawrence catches one glimpse of
Hope and is love struck, obsession in other words.
He has Carly 'taken care of' in a meat grinder preferrably,
and goes after Hope, who won't give him the time of day.
Hee, hee, Lawrence could attempt to off Bo, follow her
around, send her things, all the while plotting to get
rid of John.  For God's sake Lawrence makes a much better
villian than goody two shoes father.  We need evil, hate,
back-stabbing, name calling, disruption.  This show is
becoming incredibly boring. 

Well I do have to get going.  I'm meeting my new boss
tomorrow and I have to make a good impression.  I have
nothing to wear...............woe is me...............
