Scout Finch

Nadine was such an absolute sweetheart that it still kind of pains me to watch her Grimm character be the complete opposite!

Since Grimm films here, I keep hoping I'll run into Claire Coffee someday so that I can go, "Nadine!" I'm pretty sure most people only know her as her current character, Adalind, so I think she'd be surprised that someone is very familiar with her previous work. I actually really liked her with Nik. However, I apparently can't have nice things (see also: Ethan and Lexi Ainsworth's Kristina).

Not knowing freakin' Richard Nixon absolutely floored me. Watergate would have more than a sufficient clue for anyone else.

I'd been watching GH since 1980/81, and that one storyline was enough to make me completely stop watching the show for a few years. Someone as strong and successful as Alexis being reduced to begging for HER child made me ill and ragey. I'm sure there was at least one other misogynistic storyline that also pissed me off but all I remember is the Dodson fuckery. I didn't start watching again until, I think, around the time Jason was taking care of Sam after she lost her baby.

He was on ABC's Nightline last night in a segment about social media moguls. Of course, now he's more insufferable than ever. http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/turning-social-media-fame-big-hollywood-breaks-27075478

It's refreshing that Nikki's blog isn't the usual rehash of "your [sic] all jus jealus haterz," that some other Topes have reverted to. Still... When?

Yay for happy endings!

Johnny Zacchara's men are amusing themselves while they wait for him to be released from Pentonville.

I still don't quite trust Dante when it comes to Sonny. I can't recall how many months it was before Sonny murdered AJ, but he was at the Q mansion and had AJ pinned to the couch. He had a gun pointed at AJ and was just about to kill him right then and there, until Dante stopped him--with nothing more than a sort of, "hey, hey, Sonny, take it easy. You need to leave." Instead of doing his damn job and arresting Sonny for attempted murder, he thinks Sonny just needs to calm down and lets him go. It seems like there have been countless times he's been soft on Sonny and he also never gets called on his extreme conflict of interest. A few thoughts on the Michael/Sonny confrontation now that I finally have a moment to post. I was kind of hoping he'd say to Morgan, "If you call me 'Mikey' one more time, you're going to get a bullet too." Why on earth would Morgan think that using the rather dismissive nickname at that time was a good idea? On many occasions when people in the apartment complex next to mine are yelling encouragement at their favorite team during a televised sporting event, I've amused myself by yelling out the window, "They can't hear you!" However, at the beginning of the week I'm the one repeatedly yelling at Michael to "Shoot him! Shoot him!" Gee, nothing disturbing about hearing that coming from someone's apartment.

She had but this was the first time for her sisters, IIRC.

I'm pretty sure it was, which prompted Michael to ask him if he was going to shoot him just like he did Dante. But...but...Sonny is claustrophobic so he just CAN'T go to jail. I am too, so therefore I should be able to use that an excuse to avoid doing time after I go on a vigilante spree at a mall parking lot, using a hammer to smash out the extra pair of lights that seem to be standard on SUVS/trucks/minivans now, and which are dangerously blinding to me (seriously, how can it legal for there to basically be two sets of headlights?).

Heh, I did the same thing once. I responded to one of their emails saying that if they cloned multiple Alan Graysons so that there'd finally be a bunch of Democrats with backbones, THEN I would donate. Can't remember where I heard/read this some years back from some disgruntled Democrat about how we seem to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It's sadly true. We have vote by mail in my state but still this was the first time in over 70 years that we had a turnout this low. Truth be told, I miss going to the polling place. It really made me felt like I was doing my duty. I'm 51 now and ever since I turned 18, there's only been two elections I didn't get to vote in, and neither time was by choice. I don't care how freakin' small an election might be, I'm still voting. I realized one of my deal breakers was when I was on a date and the guy announced that he never voted.

What the hell was up with Scott Scanlon's eyebrows? The actor who portrayed him was horrid and must have thought that over-emoting with them was a good idea. I saw the show when it aired and am now watching the reruns on TVGN. Right away, I realized that I was dreading seeing his earnest face with the dancing eyebrows again. It sounds terrible to say it but I wasn't sorry when he was killed off!

For the love of dog, please stop having discussions right in front of the damn spider decoration at GH!! Even though it's fake, it makes no difference to those of us who suffer from acute arachnophobia.

My Utopia is reading endless snark about the live feeds for all eternity.

I have a little crush on Michael.

After cackling and hee hee heeing throughout Franco's utterly delicious reveals, I need a damn cigarette. And I don't even smoke.

The animals: "Free at last, free at last, thank the lack of viewers we are free at last."

I am 51 and feel like I am somewhat of a Luddite. I purchased a digital album (awesome alternative band named Merchandise!) yesterday on Amazon and then it took me too damned long to figure out how to get it to Windows Media and then to burn it to disc. I was grousing about how there needs to be some sort of easy, two-step process where anything I buy automatically combines the iTunes, Amazon, etc. players straight into Windows Media and then I just click on Burn and it totally knows what I want somehow. Although my preference is to just find a tech-savvy boyfriend! But even I, with my fumbling lack of technological knowledge, have never, ever once not understood exactly what 24/7 LIVE feeds mean.

You go, cow! Literally. I saw a brief mention of a rumor about Bri and a chick in the live feed thread but don't have the stomach to read anymore about it. However, it did prompt me go look up animal abuse laws in California. Even without video evidence of that possible crime, there is still plenty of video and live feed transcript evidence showing her committing a multitude of these offensives: https://www.animallaw.info/statute/ca-cruelty-consolidated-cruelty-and-penal-code-sections Oh, look, there's even a handy dandy way to report her: http://www.ndaa.org/animal_abuse_home.html ETA: It took me three or four times to get this to post since both my cats took a turn lumbering over my laptop here at the kitchen table. Despite my best attempts, I was unsuccessful in moving 18 lb. and 12 lb. cats before they could cancel the post. After I jokingly said I was about to kill a kitty, I realized the irony! The one in the picture is Scout--two years ago when he was only a few months old and weighed about 15 lbs. less.

Even the cows and chickens are probably having little celebratory parties of their own. The cows are just sorry they couldn't have delivered a good, swift kick to her. You know the old saying, don't let the cow kick your ass on the way out. ;-) My back is killing me and I still have a ton of housecleaning to do tonight, but all was momentarily forgotten when I read that Bri is GONE! Once she finds out why she's so despised, she'll wish that she were back in delusional Utopia.

Shooting the cows? WTF! He's such an asshole!

Oh, that will go really well. </sarcasm>

I thought they had what the exact same tattoo on their hands, causing my confusion but I just compared the two and aside from being about the same size, they are different. Plus, Romeo only has one sleeve and Daniel has both. Still, they could almost be twins.

Romeo is in a DKNY ad, with Rita Ora no less. Was leafing through Elle magazine and noticed him because of the tattoos. Wasn't totally sure because he has dark hair now but after comparing his tattoos in the ad to the pictures linked above, it's definitely him. Why couldn't it have been a different ANTM? It doesn't seem fair. Gee, I bet he's convinced that his magic spells got him there. Too bad that the harm you do to others comes back to you threefold. http://www.bustle.com/articles/31574-dkny-wearenyc-campaign-is-here-but-does-it-do-the-city-justice/image/31574
