Boogie Chillen
August 31-September 2, 2005

TAN: Nope I haven't forgotten to Boogie -- I'm just either REALLY busy or REALLY tired (usually both) from the pending residential move. On the plus side, I went through all my old records in the garage and I think I can make a NICE chunk of change selling them on eBay. It was also fun to see so many old records and tweak memories, especially since my brother was helping me and we could share memories and stories that went along with some of them. Along with what I had personally collected over the years, I also had 2 sets of inherited records. I hadn't looked at ANY of them in at LEAST 12 years. Right now I've got my old turntable hooked up to my PC and am recording some of them, pops, hisses and all -- I meant to do that all along, but never got around to it. Oddly, I didn't see my Barry Manilow "Copacabana" album anywhere -- he should have been right there after the Mamas & the Papas (and a couple that were titled the "Papas & the Mamas"). I DID see my Air Supply (Lost In Love) album, though :-)

Geez, Del sure works out a lot for a WRITER. Seeing him with his shirt off reminds me even MORE of a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot. That guy is ENTIRELY too plastic looking -- I've seen more realistic mass-marketed DOLLS than him.

Di certainly has a lot of split ends -- they framed her head like a halo in the bright lighting.

Who's been keeping the casita clean, because it's SPOTLESS and DUSTLESS. Will that person KEEP coming in the clean it now that it's being occupied by someone in HIDING? (That IS where Julia is, isn't it? Zach made a replica in the casino hotel, but the door outside THIS casita has bushes, making me think it's the one in Las Vegas.) But then Julia showed up at Tad's door. Where the HELL was she staying and how did she get to Tad's so fast?

I've decided that I really LIKE Erin. She's actually a relatively "regular" person. She's not all glammed up all the time or putting on any kind of game other than to temporarily try to fool Ryan when he first showed up. And so far, other than her misguided attempts to take care of Jonathan all by herself, she hasn't shown herself to be a total airhead with no sense of logic or impulse-control.

Greenlee talks about a potential memorial for Ryan: "I just don't want to sit in a room with a bunch of people and talk about what a tragic loss it was, what a great guy he was, what -- too soon, too young ..." Well I don't blame her a BIT for not wanting to talk about that stuff -- after all, it WASN'T tragic, he was NOT a great guy, and it couldn't have come a moment TOO soon (
