I Actually Do Have a Day Job

That is the rumor, anyway.

Emily/Rebecca

Rebecca/Emily

I am tired of trying to understand this show.


Six weeks in the early 80's, standing around with the other guys in the back of the girls dorm living room.

And I have to suffer forever into my major forties, complete with DVR replays?

I am not Mr. Mom.

Nod "yes" in a consoling way.

General Hospital = Curse of a Wasted Life

ghjpg.jpg

productivity of American citizens by putting up FREE, complete episodes of soap operas on the internet.

I'm a rocket scientist. I don't need this.

Here is my story. Do not let it happen to you.

One Fall day in the year of our Lord 2006, I stumbled upon a commercial promo about "General Hospital," where Luke & Laura were returning for a reunion stint. This reminded me of college, when they were the biggest thing at The University of Texas since football. Girlfriends scheduled their classes around it. Group of boyfriends, huddled at the back end of the dormitory TV lounge area between 2PM-3PM Monday through Friday.

It was ridiculous. And we did it.

So anyway, I saw the promo in the year of our Lord 2006 and thought I would record and watch it.

FOR A FEW DAYS ONLY.

I did not like not knowing who all the clowns in the tent were. So I bookmarked the website, FOR ONLY A FEW DAYS.

Now here I am, rocket science fading with the Space Shuttle and a poor economy, glued to Emily's return, and regular chat buddy on Soapzone.


You never see them discussing the plunge of 401K retirement funds. Of course, he's rich and owns a castle, but that is beside the point.

All I can advise you is - take not the path less travelled. If an idle inclination strikes you, crush it with merciless haste.

Or you will end up like me. Last cup of coffee before the sun comes up, neglecting your dog, bereft of heavenly consolation, orchestrating technology to purposes far from sublime.

Karen Lynn Gorney

<-- remember her from "Saturday Night Fever?"

She has been reincarnated on "General Hospital.

Same eyes.

Same cheekbones.

Same hair.

Same chin.

Same..... desperation.

Meet Olivia Falconeri ----->

THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON!

Thirty years apart.

New Jersey accent is to cry for.

Judge for yourself.


Harsh streets, pummeled backgrounds, loose associations...

Incredible allure.

And if Olivia can dance like Karen, let's just say life moves in cycles.

I put faith and trust in SoapZone

Nadine

m_389ad9301db7ae1fc017df6be6b858a8.jpg

Yes. Kate Voegele approves.

You wanted me to steer away from the Republican Sarah chick. I was overdoing it.

I always overdo things.

So let's go with the blonde, wide-eyed doe from "General Hospital."

My DVR is responsible. I dunno what it records. I come home, watch. Get hooked. Sue me.

If you check the SoapZone message boards, everyone hates Nadine.

Not sure why. She's growing up age twenty-six.

Here is how it goes. 

I come home at about 4:30PM, feed the dog, click the DVR, and there is Nadine, getting under Nikolas' skin.

And I find myself caring about it. This is ridiculous!

She is not Emily. Nik knows Emily is gone. The essence of her spirit moves him to move on.


Well, okay, sort of.



But she is a nurse with high SAT score.

She has memorized PI to 112 decimal places.

So Nadine Crowell is sorta smart, in a personally ambitious way.


Yes, that sounds like a beverage.

Nadine's Song

nadine_nik_jpg.jpg

As much as that sounds like a cool Coca Cola on a hot August afternoon, I'd prefer one of those Wendy's frozen treats.

I must stop talking about Claire/Nadine, because my dog is running around the house like a 13 going-on-30 canine with a life crisis.

Thank GOD we are not without dingo bones.


Here is Claire's site:

Don't ask me how I find this stuff.

All comes down to "General Hospital" anyway.

This is Nadine, in her prom dress.

The next Meryl Streep, and I do not mean that sarcastically.

Maxie is Taking Spinelli for Granted One Too Many Times

ajackalandagirlcopyfw1-thumb-430x430.png
This quick chick with valley speak better get a clue, because she's about to lose the computer kid to Leyla.

Yes - this is what I'm resorting to, along with chicken soup.

You should read the SoapZone forum on "General Hospital." I'm becoming a huge star over there.

Decision Point: Serious Program Manager? Or Twit.

1651_2_65218.jpg
I just completed a three-day grueling Integrated Project Management workshop that took me five years to get into.

It was the most intense, brain-absorbing, concentration-demanding insistence on my highest attention since a few quaky courses in college.

I'm proud of myself. Placed 17th out of 17. But I passed.

This from a guy who has always flown clean, without any effort, from grade school on. Welcome to reality.

An eye opener as to how project management works.



I probably will not report my results to my parents, but for me - it was a big deal. So I say, "next up boss?"

Here is where my melodramatic side kicks in.

What I came back to, after three mind-numbing days, to my house, to my dog, were three episodes of "General Hospital" on DVR.

Emerson very enthusiastic as I watched them in cascading dismay of his untimely canine dinner.

The forums all hate Nadine.

I like her. 

If a blonde twenty-something threw herself into your arms like this, what would you do?

The "General Hospital" forums are 90%/10% against Nadine, but I say,

WHAT THE HELL MAN? SHE'S IN LOVE.

Here is the way it played out on TV you should be recording every day like Gospel.

Maxie is Taking Over "General Hospital"

maxiejpg.jpg
I don't know how she does it with that sickening, Valley-girl, voice.

Ratings through the roof.

Link behind the pic shows you how many characters volley for air time.

Maxie's monologues - stuff of future legend.


And not as extemporaneous as it sounds, although Soap Operas resort to ad-lib frequently.

Both Kirsten Storms (Maxie) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) have amazing memories. They hardly ever stare at a cue card.

Plus, Maxie is ten times sexier than Lulu can ever hope to be, and don't think Johnnie doesn't know it.

This new girl, piano student, Lourdes, is complicating matters, because she's on to the hit & run couple.

Go Maxie.

Ignore Spinelli's hurt feelings. Everyone on this show is the "great friend" to the love of their life.

When he finds someone else (Leyla), a primal scream will not prove pretty from polished lips.

"Hey, wait!"

That's what everyone says when it's too late.

Poor Spinelli

ajackalandagirlcopyfw1.png

Poor, sweet, brilliant geek Spinelli finally fell into sex with Maxie.

After she was threatened with her life and wanted five, even six minutes of safe-keeping.

Finally. Thank God. He became a man.

I think she's going to fall for him when she continues to throw him away and Leyla becomes his amour.

Then - screeching regrets. But we are not seeing that yet.

In this moment, she immediately regrets the love-making incident after a trauma, and would not want sex to ruin their friendship.

He's crushed.
