Like the sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives
(I wrote this a couple of days after the accident but just posting it now)
Being marooned in the house after the accident, day to day life revolves around some basic tasks, some of which have been elevated to challenges.
In between napping, there is not much I can do, except be pulled into the realm of day time television - in reality there are many things I could do instead, but you know, they require, well...uh...I forget...
Who?
- Dr Phil
And how can I not be with The Bold and the Beautiful dubbed in German. Does life not get any better? After deciphering the current goings-on, what has happened already and with the plot for the next month or two figured out, it was time to move on.
After sightseeing some Scando bingo (actually consisting of four tables each with approximately five men - below thirty - and a large number appearing on the screen every twenty seconds) and some Swedish kiddy song and dance action, next stop fun timez
I stumbled across a soap which within ten seconds I already knew to be of superior viewing quality to TBATB
Like the sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives
In a Hulk Hogan style: Oh yeah!!!!
I don't know if it is because I have been watching it for three days (they show the episode from the day before and two new ones each day) but it does feel as if I have seen these before, some years ago. The year at the end of the credits was 2000, so this may be true.
So lets bring you up to date with some of the juicy bits of the DOOL.
Thursday (23rd of Sept.) to present (Monday): Four teenagers go on a double date. The two lucky lads are Steve P (Pirate) and Steve G (Gambler) and the gallous gals are Roisin V (eVil) and Roisin P (Popular). (I would like to point out I can't remember their names, thus Steve and Roisin - pronounced Row-sheen). Now Roisin P and Steve P have been friends for as far as they can remember (to be honest, that may not be that far) so when Steve G asks Roisin V out on a date they ask the two others if they want to come, thus not actually confirming if indeed this is a date for Steve P and Roisin P. This becomes a sticky point later on. When taking in some horror movie we have the following seat line up: Steve G, Roisin V, Steve P and Roisin P. Steve G makes a tragic mistake by leaving just before a scary bit to acquire some love-corn, at which point Roisin V in a flit of terror has to cling to Steve P for safety. Roisin P looks on with mixed emotions and eye close-ups. Granted, if this embrace was just for a passing second it could be overlooked, however, it is held until Steve G returns. Roisin Vs excuse being I dont normally react like that. I warned ye, its the overly thick and dark eyebrows. eVil! The gecks are only veil over her darkness. With lover boy Steve G reassuring her that she is safe with him, until of course he tries to sell her to finance his tribute to Gamblord, they watch the rest of the movie. They confront the issue outside when the movie is over, with Steve P still convinced that it was just a group outing rather that a double date, much to Roisin Ps disappointment. She runs off claiming to be tired after the rest decide to go to Java or dot com for a coffee. Enter Roisin J (Jesus) who consoles her friend and pinpoints the blame on the witch. Later Roisin J is explaining to Roisin Vs mother how Roisin V causes bad things to happen and that she stole Steve P from Roisin P, only to have the eVil one over hear and setup a face off which will be elongated tomorrow (Tuesday).
Thankfully, at this point I stopped watching DOOL and read this book ("A Big Boy Did it and Ran Away" by Christopher Brookmyre) instead, which was really good. Might read "Boiling a Frog" by the same author. Currently reading "Stupid White Men: ...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation" by Michael Moore, which is very interesting and funny. Then there is "Why Do People Hate America?".
