I think the Horton Ornament hanging gets more disappointing each year. I thought last year’s was horrible, what with all the dry cleaning, but this one takes the cake. First of all, I’m over Theo and his disappearing act. He’s a cute kid and all, but if he’s going to skip out on his family, [...]

This is what passes for a holiday episode?

Mistletoe Alert!

To JMTIV in honor of all the great yuppie Christmas parties that we never threw: Merry X-Mas, Patrick! Hey Readers, have a holly, jolly Christmas!
Less than Christmas
Posted in Bret Easton Ellis, Holiday Ideas, Los Angeles on December 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »
A few days ago, I spoke about how most of my Christmas lessons were learned from Aaron Spelling. The others were gleamed from Bret Easton Ellis. His Less Than Zero was A Christmas Carol for a generation that would rather do coke than eat gruel. While I have my qualms with the film adaptation of [...]
Christmas Came Early

Yes, my Christmas present from Ken Corday came today when I listened to Victor Kiriakis tell EJ to “kick the bitch out on her ass”. Now, let me qualify this by saying that while I enjoy Nicole, I find the pillow baby story tiresome and I delight anytime Victor breaks out the naughty words. I [...]
It’s a Christmas Miracle!

As I am on vacation, I decided that I would throw out some posts about “classic” clips to get into the holiday mood. Up first, a blast from the past from 1996. Let me set the scene, John and Marlena are kind of together but not really as Kristen is pregnant with John’s baby (actually [...]
How the Mancini stole Christmas

Like most people from my generation, I’m sure that I learned all of my Christmas morals from Aaron Spelling serials. When I nailed a half court shot at a basketball game, I donated my winnings to the Alvarado Street After School Care Program. Or when I was working at a posh boutique, I invited the kindly [...]
Victim no More
Posted in General Hospital, Holiday Ideas on December 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
So what’s up with General Hospital and the hate-on for Sam? I know she’s not for everyone, but friend or foe, you have to admit that she’s been held captive at least three times since October. I think she needs to go to that “No More Victims” camp that Kimberly Shaw was sent to on [...]
You’re a mean one, Dr. Evans
Posted in Days of Our Lives, Holiday Ideas on December 14, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I spent the weekend catching up on Days. I just can’t seem to watch it in real time anymore and when I say “real time” I mean, watching it on my DVR sixhours after it originally airs. I just find shows like Celebrity Rehab with Doctor Drew way more compelling. For instance, Marlena thinks she has [...]
So this is Christmas?
Posted in Days of Our Lives, Holiday Ideas on December 26, 2007 | 5 Comments »
I admit, I’m a little underwhelmed by this year’s DOOL‘s Christmas episode. I just felt it was a little disjointed. First of all, why is Marlena picking up dry cleaning on Christmas Eve (or is it Christmas Day)? I know it was an elaborate setup to introduce the winner of I Wanna Be a Soap Star [...]
Christmas with the Hortons
Posted in Days of Our Lives, Holiday Ideas, True Confessions on December 20, 2007 | 2 Comments »
As far back as I can remember I’ve always wanted an ornament with my name on it, just like Hope Williams Brady. Sure, I can go to the mall, pick up a glass ornament and pay some guy to engrave my name on it, but it’s not the same: the Horton ornaments are just so beautiful [...]
