You'll be the guy with the piano, I'll be the girl with the smile.

I just learned that Jerry Orbach died of prostate cancer at the age of 69. :( My thoughts and prayers go to him and those who loved him.

I read an excellent column this morning at Soaptown USA, "What Happened To The Fans?". I think it's a good read for all One Life To Live fans, as well as (maybe) anyone who's interested in the negative vs. positive attitudes of fandoms.

The column inspired me not only to write the author, but also OLTL, Soap Opera Digest, and, um, Michael Easton. I haven’t sent all of them yet -- I may not get around to it, knowing me -- but I hope I do. If I were an actor/writer/producer/whatever at a television show, I think I’d love to get positive feedback from fans.

(Um, yeah. Speaking of OLTL, I’m loving John and Evangeline together.)

Could Michael Easton be any sexier? I didn't think anything could top his portrayal of Caleb on Port Charles, but on One Life To Live? *swoons*

(Okay, okay, I know that not all of you feel that way, but I certainly do. ;))

I was pretty whiny in my last post, and I apologize. I need to stop writing entries at 4 in the morning. :)

Anyway... off to grade papers, have a Tab, and listen to Tori.

In other news...

My Soap DVD/Michael Easton book came yesterday. Yay! I didn't have access to our DVD player yesterday, but I'm so watching it tonight. I really like Michael's book, though. I mean, in one of his poems he made a reference to my all-time favorite show, Get Smart. How cool is that? *g*

I'm still behind on replying to some people's journals (and to the comments on my own), so I apologize for that. Unfortunately I've got to get offline in a few minutes, seeing as I'm extremely behind on schoolwork. *sigh*

Port Charles rocked today! Seriously, I just sat there watching with a big smile. In case anyone's wondering, for the past nine months, a lot of the show has involved a fictional band, The Stephen Clay Experience. (My man Michael Easton was Stephen Clay.) Anyway, today's ep involved a "Behind The Music" special on the band, complete with interviews with various PC characters. Not only was it creative and enjoyable, but the special also involved gorgeous pictures of Michael Easton, er, Stephen Clay. ;) I loved it!

For the record, yes, I am well aware that Port Charles only has a few months left until it's gone for good. While I really hate that, I don't want it to take away from my enjoyment of the PC we have left. I know everyone put a lot of hard work into The Gift (the upcoming, and final, arc), and I'm prepared to enjoy it for all it's worth.

In other, "real life," news, I got my summer housing assignment this morning and realized that there's only one internet connection in my dorm room. One. Which means my roommate (whom I have never met) and I cannot go online at the same time. Well, I'm pretty much addicted to the internet, and feeling stuck at school without the luxury of going online when I please freaks me out. I know I am being a *big* baby about this, and there are so many other bad things in the world, so there's no reason to get upset about this. Still, that was one of the things I was most looking forward to about being back on campus. *sigh*

On a good note, though, my room comes with a microfridge. Yay!
