So I read this article on relevantmagazine.com today and it intrigued me.  Unlike the author, I am a beatles fan…so thought the book the author is reviewing (called The Gospel According to the Beatles by Steve Turner) could be an interesting read sometime.  Will look into that at some point.  Can’t say I look up to the group as role models, but still curious about the book.

Always loved the movie hard day’s night (if you haven’t seen it you are missing out! Random quotes: “He can’t help that he has a hideous, great hooter, and his poor little head tremblin’ under the weight of it” (Paul’s grandfather on Ringo)…Ringo: “You know there’s a man in the cupboard” George goes to check, comes back, calmly sits down and says “He’s right ya know.” Others shrug it off and respond: “Well, there ya go” [i could go on and on, but i won’t :) ])….not as much of a fan of the movie help, but its ok….obviously enjoy their music as well.  Personal favorite is while my guitar gently weeps (have a preference for george’s songs).  Anyways, thought it could be a good read sometime…

uh oh….

According to this article, Bianca is returning to all my children in October for a long-term run (she has come back here and there since she exited in ‘05).  This leaves me in a difficult position….on one hand Eden Riegel (who plays Bianca) is one of my favorite soap actresses and I enjoy the character of Bianca….on the other hand I had cut back on my amc viewing (per my last post) and haven’t forgiven the writers for screwing up the return of dixie and attempting to pair her with zach when he belongs with kendall and dixie belongs with tad (and oh please, get rid of dixie’s half sister, di - please admit you made a mistake there writers and move on already!)…this will make for quite the dilemma in october…maybe I will have to record it and just avoid the parts I want to pretend aren’t happening through the fast forward button on my tivo?  Or perhaps I will read recaps during the first week and see how they are incorporating bianca’s character to see if it is compelling enough for me to watch (luckily I can catch up on soapnet on the weekend if needed :) )? 

I know this is a very big concern to others, I really am quite torn about this :)

Like I didn’t have enough difficult decisions come fall with scrubs, house, gilmore girls, AND eureka all on sometime between 8-10 on different channels on tuesday nights (maybe they will adjust the schedules and be nice to me? :) ) when I have orchestra and need to record my shows….and with the office and grey’s anatomy on at the same time on thursdays (why, oh why, couldn’t grey’s anatomy have stuck with sunday evenings?  And why is it that with all these shows I enjoy, none of them are ever on Wednesday nights when my tivo is conflict-free?  What is wrong with Wednesdays exactly???).  Oh well, I have some tough choices ahead ;)
