You’d think that seeing a rapist-turned-hero like GH’s Luke fall as far as he’s fallen in recent years would somehow warm the cockles of my heart. That I would take joy in what a degenerate loser and deadbeat he’s become. But, honestly…? All it does is make me sad. Because I may never have particularly… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
I must make a correction to my May 1 (rather rant-y) post about the lack of racial diversity in daytime.

How do Luke and Noah escape?” Today’s episode answers that question but I went ahead and e-mailed… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
I had a major Bollywood music geek out last night, squeeing my way through the iTunes store. Ultimately, I only bought seven songs, but the joy was so heady I felt like I was cleaning out the whole collection. It’s truly wonderful, how affected I am by this music. I have a connection to it… Read More Gaata rahe mera dil…aur mera wallet.
