not quite pearls of wisdom

Betting on Betty and Daniel

You know, I didn’t realize how intense I was about my pairing preferences until the ax fell on Ugly Betty. I was just re-reading The Soapbox I wrote up for our April 20 issue of Soap Opera Weekly, and it’s like I might as well have “I heart Daniel and Betty” tattooed on my forehead. I… Read More Betting on Betty and Daniel

America: to have and have not

Why is there so much fear of the increasing diversity of America? Whether it’s Tea Party histrionics, sending a lesbian student and differently abled students to a fake prom, or just the constant hammering that we need to return to “core values” and “mainstream America,” it’s like there’s a circling of wagons. A panic that,… Read More America: to have and have not

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

I noted in my March 16 entry that it seemed like the horrific story of Kristina’s abuse on GENERAL HOSPITAL was basically written to endear Ethan to viewers and to remind us that while Sonny may be a violent thug, he’s a good father. And, weeks later, I still ain’t buyin’ it. I still think Ethan is… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Okay, it’s not NEARLY time for the afternoon soap block yet, and I’m already bouncing in my chair. I’ve been giddy ALL weekend about ATWT. Folks, Friday’s episode was awesome. It was Hughes family-centric, with just enough non-Hugheses — like Susan and Ali, Katie, Henry and Reid — to give viewers a sense of community. All… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Awakening a bit Otherworldly

I just reread The Awakening, by Kelley Armstrong, in preparation for the release of book three in her Darkest Powers series, The Reckoning. And I love her world-building so hard, I could marry it. I’ve always been a sucker for a good expanded universe, and Armstrong has a beautifully crafted one that links Darkest Powers… Read More Awakening a bit Otherworldly

Twitting on the dock of the bay

Haven’t done a link compilation post lately, so here’s what I’ve been sharing on Twitter! Eight products from Sky Mall that can be used to kill someone. I love the Sky Mall catalogue. I’m always tempted to buy something from it. Even more so now! ‘Health Reform is a BFD’ t-shirt available at BarackObama.Com. Hi-larious!… Read More Twitting on the dock of the bay
