Thoughts of a Canadian University Student

Monday, December 06, 2004

Hello. I haven't been posting lately. Sorry, this blog is one of the casualties of mono, along with two of my classes this semester. This bites big time. Oh well. I've been hanging at home, knitting and watching TV. I have become re-involved with watching "Days", but mostly because it's so hysterically funny. You know the reason so many women watch soaps? Well it's like this. When people (particularly guys) watch sports, they yell at the TV, to the coach and the players. We do the same thing, sort of. Watching Days for me consists of "Oh my God, see now SHE's going to come back from the dead and marry her half-sister's ex-Dad" interspersed with hysterical laughter and gasps for air. Today, for example:

"Oh NOW I get it. Belle's ex Shawn was being held in a dominatrix-type cell in a mountain MANSION by evil Jan who used to torture Belle's friend Chloe and she brainwashed him into marrying her. NOW I get it!"
"Even better, so now we see Bo and Billie's stillborn daughter Georgia, who they delivered, confirmed themselves that she was dead, and buried themselves in the cemetary, is not actually dead but is possibly being held in the same European Castle as all the presumed-dead Salemites who were fake-serial killed and held on an imaginary island then spirited away by the DiMera family. Let's take the private jet there."

And I won't even go into the fact that Belle used sewing scissors to cut up a photograph. That is just entirely wrong.
