Days of Our Lives
Okay...I know that it should be called Cheezy Crap Of Our Lives - but I'm addicted. I actually started watching it when I was about 8 years old, when I spent the summer at my paternal-grandmother's house. We religiously watched DOOL, Another World, & Santa Barbara. The latter 2 have come and gone .
As I got older, there were periods where I watched DOOL constantly, and further into the future the less I watched it. Mostly because I was working and stuff. I watched it now and again if I happened to be home. Since I've been working at the J, I've begun to get addicted again. It was on at 11am, and I'd catch about 45 minutes before I left for work. Then they moved it to 1pm, and I missed it for a while. Then I started working days...still missing it. Last month I was sick for a week. Guess what?! Yeah, I got re-addicted. Then I got DVR (like Tivo), so now I never miss it. My problem? IT'S THE DUMBEST SHOW ON THE PLANET!!
But it's like a train wreck. Can it get any more ridiculous? I tried explaining to my sister what's been going on since the Salem Stalker period last fall, and it even gave her a headache!! I can't even keep up anymore! And I'm starting to wonder if this "Salem" that they all live in isn't really in some remote section of Oklahoma because I'm pretty sure there are people married to each other that shouldn't be - I think I might do a DOOL family tree or something. {disclaimer on Okie comment: My anscestors and relatives hail from Okie/Arkie and it has been proven thru our family tree...well, lets just say that our tree doesn't branch much but runs back into itself}
Now, there are some parts that I fast forward thru.
Lexi/Abe/Celeste: I really can't stand Lexi. She's just stupid. If somebody walks up to me and says "KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF MY BUSINESS", you can bet your sweet ass that I'd be doing as they say. Abe...well, I think he's kinda ugly and a bad actor, lol. Celeste is just a little too serious about her 'powers' and the special effects suck.
John Black: So, he's got that spinal injury and he's in the hospital. Why is he only hooked to one IV and how is that person getting in there to inject crap into that one IV? I was less serious than a spinal injury, and I was in the ICU and has like 15 IV's going in me. What's up with that? And can they drag it out any longer? Is that person hiding in the closet or something? And those 'faces' he makes when he's in pain. Looks like he's trying to take a dump or something. Weird.
Marlena/Roman/Caroline/Victor/Cassie/Jack: Okay, they're trapped in a castle. Good thing they're not focusing much on this group right now. They just bore me. Again, how LONG can they drag a story line out? They fixed half of it when they got half the 'dead' people home, but notice - the majority of those were one's that went out to FIND the dead people, they weren't even DEAD..kwim? And obviously Tony Dimera & the Dimera Clan has done some fucked up things. They've done worse to Stefano and he survived, what makes them think that a little stab wound in Tony's neck is going to stop him? It's NOT - that's how they're able to drag out a story line. He's like a fucking cat!
Bonnie Lockhart/Mickey Horton/his red-head wife: Okay, this is just irritating me too. So red-head is dead. Mickey is alone, Bonnie is a gold digger. Yadda yadda yadda, they get married, and true to soap form it's only mere moments before red-head-dead-wife returns to Salem because she's NOT really dead. Catfights insue - Mickey's all "Oh, I don't know what to do!"...well fucking DUH! It shouldn't be that hard! And like they're going thru this whole 'thing' like it's going to take forever. The guy is like a billion years old, he better pick a wife NOW and fix it! He's got them all living together, and working together. It's not MTV dude, get off your burrito and do something! ARGH
Brady Black & Nicole Kiriakis: Okay, I might be weird, but I think they go good together. Sure, Nicole has done some evil shit in the past - or intended too (actually ended up being a Dimera thing she found out...and she didn't really DO anything...long story). Anyway, I think they are cute together. I know that they're bringing Chloe back into the picture. I didn't watch it when they had their thing, so I'm not familiar with the Chemistry. Oh yeah, and Chloe is supposed to be dead and not - that's a whole new drama...maybe that will come about when they take care of the Belle/Sean/Phillip/Jan situation...that's next.
Belle/Sean/Phillip/Jan: This is MY story line. The one I'm compeletely bonkers over. I'm mad because tomorrow this line won't be on. UGH! Belle & Sean belong together. What Jan did to him is totally fucked up and psychotic. Phillip - sure, he's good looking, but he's just odd. I don't feel it between him and belle. She keeps saying "He loves me and I'm so lucky!" wah wah - well, you DON'T love HIM! There's a difference there babe. Besides, Seans 10 times hotter than Phillip. Jan, just a fucking nutwad, that's all there is to that.
So I'm watching it this evening. Mimi busts and finds where Jan had kept Sean captive all summer. She's onto her little game. Mimi calls Belle and tells her to get there. She calls Sean too, but he wasn't inside, so she left a message. Belle runs into Sean in hallway and tells him that it was Mimi calling and what for, and they go together. In the meantime, Jan shows up and finds Mimi in her house - Mimi calls her out. Catfight insues (man, it was a fun one, and I was acting it out on my couch! ROFL). But then Jan tricks Mimi and shoves her in the big ass iron cage and locks it up. Of course, Mimi leaves her purse on the desk...and I'm SURE she had a cellphone in there but...soap convenience, ya know? So Belle & Sean are on their way, they're semi-arguing - but not - but then the bridge had ice. Slip, slide, slip, slide... AAAAAAHHHH *CRASH*
Dammit, I hate it when they do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
