it's been a loooooooong time...yeah i know. but i've been feelin' lazy plus i done went out and got me a life. hence the feeling of lazy. and since i've got a bunch of random things on my mind i figured i'd just write an entry on the trust ol' LJ. so first up:
"Otalia"

okay so i got sucked back into soaps again. well not soaps per se, just "guiding light." now i haven't watched guiding light since the mid 90s. and at some point during my hiatus from GL, crystal chappell joined the cast as the resident bitch. now i remember crystal from her on days of our lives as dr. carly manning. and boy did i have a crush on dr. carly manning. needless to say, that crush has endured as she is still smokin' hot and even moreso now that she's gotten a bit more curvier. time has been extremely kind to mzz chappell. unfortunately the same cannot be said for kim zimmer, but i digress. so okay, i haven't watched this show in years and i had no intention of watching it ever again, until i heard some random rumor that crystal chappell was makin' out w/ some chick on tv. now my 16 year old self would not have forgiven my 30 something year old self for not checking that out. so i caught the scene on youtube. when i first saw it, i thought it was like some kind of stunt to compete w/ the stuff that all my children had been doing w/ their lesbian storyline. so i kinda dismissed it.
so one night i had a wicked case of insomnia and started watching random vid and i came across another GL clip and you know how that goes you watch one clip and the next thing you know it's 7 the next morning and you're craving pancakes and/or demerol. what came to discover is that this storyline w/ crystal chappell was actually a gradual build up to the romantic relationship she was gonna have w/ this other female character. i won't lie, i fell for it hook, line, and sinker. it carries all of the elements i love about soaps. the actors have mad chemistry which automatically make them compelling. they are thrown together by circumstances of monumental soap operatic proportions. (the "talia" half of "otatila" husband dies in a car crash, just as olivia, (the "o" half) in dying and in desperate need of a heart. the metaphor escapes no one. but yeah, i'm hooked
let's see..oh yeah my other shiny new toy:
Duffythe teena marie of her generation...not really, but she's a mega short white chick w/ a lot of soul...
<3 this song...
speaking of <3ing songs i saw "slumdog millionaire" and the soundtrack is amazing, but the standout track is MIA's
"paper planes" i fuckin' loooooove this song...(high fives the beetle brat cuz she was the first person i know who was up on MIA and now i see why) the narrative is great and it really fit the movie very well...
there's other random crap, but i'd like to finish up w/ a shout out to Harry Kalas, the voice of the Phillies and in my opinion the best sports announcer of all time...suck it coselle...
R.I.P. Harry the K, watching games will never be the same.
