absolutely ordinary

Just finished the Insanity Max Interval Circuit workout for the very first time, and I didn’t die or keel over.  I consider this a massive success.

This photo is full of so much win.

Congratulations, Saints.

Now bring on baseball!

The cuteness!  It kills me.

I was thisclose to flinging something at my TV today when the usually awesome Dante lied and said that he shot himself.  (I’m kind of surprised that when he said it, Sonny didn’t barge in and say, “I SHOT MY OWN SON, BUT I DIDN’T KNOW, SEE.  I DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS MY SON.”  That’s all he can say anymore, right?)  But then, Morgan, who is awesome, had to go and visit Dante, and they had to have a really awesome scene together, so all was forgiven, and my TV was spared having something thrown at it.

If I’m Morgan, I’m doing whatever I can to get away from both my mother and my father and making it so that my new big brother, Dante, raises me.

Oh, and Lulu?  Still awesome.  I don’t know when it happened, but I’m really liking this truth-telling Lulu.  “It must be a gift to hypnotize the people you hurt the most to cover your ass.”  YES.  Way, way better than Olivia, who seems to think that Sonny will pay because he’ll be overcome by his guilt.  Yeah, Olivia, that’s a way better punishment than going to prison.  Sure.  Okay.  You just keep thinking that.

Peter Bradley Adams - “One Picture”

Vivian was definitely trying to bring the 80’s back with her shoulder pads this week.

Ronnie Day - “Falling For You”

Pandora just reminded me that this song exists.

I can’t watch Sonny on General Hospital without thinking of this image now.  And laughing, of course.

I love how Sonny keeps mentioning that, yeah, he shot Dante, but in his defense, he didn’t know that Dante was his son.  As if that makes it any better.  So it’s okay if you shoot a cop (or anyone for that matter) if it’s not your son?  I can just see Sonny on trial now.  “Well, you see, your honor, I didn’t know he was my son.  I should have known he was my son.  He has my good qualities.  But I didn’t know he was my son, so I shot him.  I shot my own son, but it’s okay, see, because I want to be there for my kids.  I want to make this right.  I didn’t know he was my own son.  Also, I don’t know where the towels are in my own house.”

Not going to lie, this makes me kind of sad.  Rest in peace, Alice Horton.  I really, really, really hope that whenever Days pays tribute to Frances Reid/Alice Horton that they pull out all of the stops and get as many Hortons as possible to appear on the show.  She was the last remaining original character/actor from the very first show.  She deserves the biggest tribute possible.

I’ve been watching soaps, namely Days of Our Lives, since my junior year of high school, which was, well, awhile ago.  Over the years, I’ve watched Days pretty regularly, but on occasion, depending on my schedule and how bored I was, sometimes I’d watch other soaps as well.  I watched Sunset Beach most of the time it was on.  I watched a bit of Port Charles.  I’ve watched All My Children on and off.  (Ryan and Erica together really grosses me out.)  I’ve also watched General Hospital on and off, depending on whether the storylines were sucking me in or not.  (Too much mob stuff = not so exciting.)

Lately I’ve been really enjoying Days of Our Lives.  I love the soapy deliciousness that is having Melanie be Carly’s long lost daughter, especially with Melanie marrying Philip who is Victor’s son who lives with Vivian aka Carly’s nemesis.  So Days right now?  Pretty awesome.

But you know what’s been even more awesome?  General Hospital.  Namely because of Dominic/Dante and Lulu.  I’m not really one to go nuts over a soap opera couple, but Dante and Lulu?  Awesome.  Seriously.  I love that their relationship has progressed slowly (by soap standards) and that they’ve proclaimed their love for each other without jumping into bed first.  I’ve watched enough GH to know that Lulu’s love interests have kind of lacked a spark, but with Dante?  Awesome.

Also awesome?  Kristina and Morgan calling Sonny out on his evil doings.  Such a refreshing change of pace from people just sweeping Sonny’s evil doings under the rug, even though I know he’ll inevitably get away with shooting Dante.  YOU SHOT YOUR SON, SONNY.  /cue blank look on Sonny’s face

Yeah, I kind of look forward to watching General Hospital every day now.  I am not ashamed.  It is awesome.
