May 26, 2006 Off Topic Ooh! Ooh! Mr. Kotter! Mr. Kotter! I have an opinion and it’s just screaming to come out! Ooh! Actually, I have a few opinions and they’re all fighting for air so I’m just going to let them roll off my fingers, if that’s okay with you. If it’s not okay, please skip this column. First and because I can’t talk to my husband about it right now, I have some non-soap comments to make. Again skip these if they’re of no interest. Honestly, they’re not all that interesting to begin with! Comment 1. I think American Idol was rigged. This was the year they needed a white male to win. We had a white female, a black female, a black male and then another white female (not in that particular order). Keeping it real (like my little ode to Randy there?), we needed a white male. It should have been Chris but I think the Idol PTB realized he was going somewhere regardless, so go for who they considered to be the underdog, Taylor. Don’t get me wrong, I like Taylor. I don’t think he’s an American Idol though. Maybe if someone teaches him how to dance. Anyway, I think it’s rigged because in the last few episodes Kermit the Frog (Ryan) continually high-lighted Taylor and kept Ms. McFever in the background. He spent more time talking to Taylor, brought him out in front of the audience and showed obvious excitement toward the guy. Is he gay or was he paid to influence the voters? I have no doubt McFever will get a contract. Heck, Pickler got one and if she can, there’s no reason McFever can’t. I heard her comment that Steven Spielberg wants to have a meeting with her. She’s sweet, talented and beautiful. She’ll go far. Plus, she’s friends with Tori Spelling so if anything, she’ll at least have a guest spot on her show! Comment 2. Each night when I wake up to piddle I am singing a song. It’s either “Bad Day” or “Over My Head”. I’ve been doing this for close to two months now and honestly, I can’t figure out why. Never have I had a song stuck so firmly in my brain it comes out immediately when I wake up. I’m not talking as I’m walking to piddle, I’m talking IMMEDIATELY when I wake up. Why is that? Someone please make it stop! It’s driving me crazy. Comment 3. School ends today. Evil incarnate will enter my home at approximately 2:43 PM and stay until August 7th. My kids are wonderful, honestly. But after about a week of ‘freedom’ they’re bored and whiny and hot. And that makes me so ready for school to start again. Comment 4. You know that mucus guy who brings his wife to the new person after their lovely little mucus wedding? He’s moved. Apparently I had a big “FOR RENT” sign on my forehead and he snatched it right up. The Mucus family now lives inside my throat, sinuses and nose. And they are not a fun family, let me tell you! I keep trying to spit or blow them out but they just won’t budge! Now on to the soaps… Comment 1. I refuse to believe Todd is really dead. He’s been not really dead before so why not now? I would rather believe he’s working with John and Bo to bring out Spencer and prove his guilt. How, I don’t know but it sounds much better than killing Todd off. Now, killing Blair off is something I’d like to entertain… Comment 2. I’m afraid Tess is becoming Jess. No, they’re not going to bring back Jessica. No one likes her. So maybe TPTB think if they start making Tess more like Jessica with a bit of an edge, we’ll like her still. Not me. I like Tess with spunk and spite. Sure, give her the capacity to love but don’t make her compassionate for anyone but those who are important to her. That’s part of what makes Tess, Tess. Comment 3. Isn’t Robert supposed to be Luke’s friend? Why all of a sudden are they bickering and fighting and acting like they’re not friends? I don’t like that. Comment 4. Anna’s coming back! Anna’s coming back! This could make for one great summer! I do hope Finola and Tristan make a stop at the GH Luncheon. After I go to the bathroom though so I don’t pee on myself when I see them. Comment 5. Did Alcazar die? Or has he gone missing? Or has he been removed from just my TV screen? Comment 6. Liz and Jason are getting closer…This could be interesting. Comment 7. Do you think there’s any chance in hell Sonny will be committed to a hospital far, far away (say in Africa, perhaps?) and we’ll have a few wonderful months of freedom? Even better, send Emily to look after him and show her undying love. Works for me! Comment 8. Bianca’s back. The earth will now rebalance itself into its regular spot and all will be well in Pine Valley. Kendall will wake up. The baby will be fine. Erika will stop whining and move to Paris to be closer to Binks. Jonathan will become evil again. Dixie will find Kate (who by the way, is all grown up and now writing for EOS) and last but not least, Tad will get a hair cut. Comment 9. Ryan is in love with Kendall? Are they really going to make me endure another round of Ryan in love? I honestly don’t think I can take it again. Isn’t Cameron Matheson tired of Ryan yet? I know I sure am! Comment 10. I understand we have to have those weekly emergency tests with the loud annoying beep. I get their importance. But can’t we have them during the news instead of my soaps? Who watches the news anyway? It’s on at 5 PM. I’ve either got Sponge Bob on or I’m gone. It’s a perfect time to run the Emergency Broadcast System tests! Happy Memorial Day! Enjoy the
weekend!
