If you live in the Houston area and missed the season premieres of the shows on NBC, they will be shown again starting tonight. I looked for a similar message for channel 11 or 13, but no luck.
Days of our Lives wasn’t shown last Wednesday – Friday, but the episode on Monday did a pretty good job recapping what I missed. Whew! (Now I need to find a good recap site so I can get the little details!)
Whoo hoo! The Amazing Race returns on my birthday – September 27th at 8pm! Yeah! I’m so excited – it will be interesting to see how it works out with entire families instead of just teams of two people this year!
I’m setting up the TiVo season pass right now!
I’ve never watched soap operas on a regular basis. Back in the 80s, I remember the big hoopla over Luke & Laura’s wedding. In the 90s, while I was in Germany and only had one TV station on the base to choose from (I’ve heard they have more now), I watched the soaps from time to time – but stopped when I came back to the states.
So now it is time to come clean. I’ve become hooked to Days of Our Lives.
I watched the first episode so I could mock it. Sami kept talking out loud to herself. Belle was married to one man but in love with another. A woman Marlena was in a coma. (There are always people in a coma on soaps. What is up with that?) But then the next day I wondered what had happened. By day three, I was tuning in to find out.
I know names of characters. I’m starting to figure out who is related to who, but in Salem it seems like everyone is related to everyone. It is crazy. And I’m hooked.
Someone help me. After 2:00. Right now, my soap is on. (I’m hanging my head in shame for saying that. I really am.)

Just how on earth with Garrison Keiller be considered offensive? Our government has completely lost it. [via BuzzMachine.]
I don’t normally watch a lot of movies, but this summer I seem to be catching up on all the ones I’ve missed, and even seen a number of the ones in the theater. Today, thanks to Starz, I finally watched The Notebook. Oh my goodness. I think I cried through half the movie. It was so good. And so sad. And so sappy. And so sweet. And just so … I don’t know. Man. My eyes are still puffy, hours after I watched it. I feel so drained. It is on the TiVo right now and if I thought I could handle it twice in one day, I would watch it again.
Yes, that good. Watch it, but be sure to have a box of Kleenex handy.
