noveling: The Jo book is officially freaking me out (in a good way, I think). Occasionally I'll wonder whether I should really just be writing the political/violent/anti-Vietnam story set in 1971, without all the 1975 soap opera stuff...and then (like today) I realize that the soap stuff is the necessary fun sugar-coating that makes the horrific 1971 story palatable.

energy level: zzzzzzz

weather: not too hot, but muggy, and thus not as pleasant as I'd like.

Ryan's Hope: The debut of Tom Desmond's rooftop apartment (later to be Barry Ryan's apartment)! How I love that set. And Tom reciting poetry to Mary, and starting to be mysterious about his Past. Yay!

GH: Boring boring f'ing boring. They're actually gonna have Vincent Pastore on the show for a bit, which should be fun--but my god, Guza, GH isn't The Sopranos! Stop it already with the non-stop mob!

OLTL: Unadulterated awesome. Like these hilarious scenes from Friday's show, featuring David Vickers (man) and David Vickers (dog):

How I will miss Tuc Watkins when he leaves the series again. And the doggie's "reaction shots" are priceless...

I was wondering when we'd see the apartment! It was also Ox Knowles' apartment, too, for a while.

I will quote some wise woman named Gwynne on the very topic of being freaked out by one's writing -- good sign!

Oh, I didn't know it was Ox's apartment too! Did you get my email yesterday about the 1982 RH clips?

I did say that, didn't I? Of course, I wasn't being freaked out by my own writing when I said it, so it was very easy for me to say! :-)

Yeah, it was much easier for me to take that tack this time around. :)

Yes, I did get your email! I was moving furniture and sorting crap, then falling into a "Smallville"-watching heap. Nice that you got to see a little bit of Ox. I did adore him and Jane, and it's too bad they don't get any airing anymore.

I hope that at some point someone will turn up with taped RH eps from 1982, the way they have with the later years, since Soapnet refuses to show 'em!

Humor is a good thing and gives the reader some relief from the constant drama/horror. :)

[gwynnega]

I agree. I'm not a big fan of unrelieved drama/horror, in art or in life... :-)
