Retail therapy is the best therapy.

I just bought a new outfit for my date tonight. I am wearing my hair all different. I tried to get in for an appointment, but they couldn't get me in.

I am gonna be pretty!

As many of my friends put it (especially both my ex and my bestfriend), you're only an alcoholic if you don't drink and are going to meetings. If you simply get drunk all the time, you're just a drunk. If you're fun when you're a drunk, you're a lush. I think Shawn is more of a lush. :D

Anywho, I just got back in from the gym (2 hours, thankyouverymuch). I'm loving the fact that I've finally got shoulders and arms for the first time. Now, if I could just get rid of this little blob of jelly around my navel that's covering up some nice abs (I especially like my upper abs. I can put my hand on them and flex them and feel them coming out and over the bottom of my ribcage), I'd be happy. In any event, I simply love all the cute little 22 year olds out at the clubs who feel the need to come over to me and my bestfriend and tell us how hot we are. It's small things like that that make me not really mind being almost 36.

Lots of crap went on this week I see. Responding to the posts that stood out for me.

I sure hope so. The BB: SON & SON Survivor games made last summer lotsa fun on SON.

I wish I had the same sentiment, but alas, I do not. I don't see things getting better anytime soon. And banning members & reporting posts are not the solutions to the problems. They never were.

No discussing things on the message board that are message-board related or related to each other. Okayy....... Are we still allowed to talk about soaps or will that be going away as well? :blink:

And to all of this drama: I've barely visited SON for a few weeks now. A vacation if you will. You see, all of these issues of late remind me why exactly I left SON at the time that I did. I still have written my blog, though at times, I've been even too busy to do that. In any event, I just woke up to the fact that all of the reasons that I had for leaving when I did are still very much valid. Sucks, but it's true.

See, this whole "drama" thing is always lost on me, because quite frankly, I know what threads it's mostly to happen in, and avoid them. Admittedly that's harder to do if you're a fan of the show where those threads break out. But I honestly, don't get it half the time. I think SON is to nice to a lot of people, who clearly don't deserve warnings, or continued warnings and should be banned. Ban them. If they don't like it, oh well. But the drama is just way to played out and way old. If you can't avoid it, don't get sucked into it. Laugh it off. Report it or don't. But it never helps to feed into things.

I wonder when R!ck will announce the other nominees...if there ARE any others. :unsure:

Off to the rodeo. Then, coming home, going to bed, and going to work bright & early in the morning. <_< Bastards're making me miss church. I hate CVS.

Have fun ya'll --- I know I will be! ;)

    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
