Ah shit. All My Children spoilers ahoy: I just found out that Eden Riegel is leaving All My Children. She played Erica Kane's gay daughter Bianca. Damn it. But The L Word starts in a week so that's some gay consolation...

ETA whitefont just in case :)

GC, are they writing her character out of the show? Or replacing her with someone else? It won't be the first time a soap has done that.

Big Lots is selling medical uniform tops or pants for $7.99 each. I recall someone asking about them a while back.

Ooh! they have Lava™ Lamps for $9.99. t /geek

I think they'll probably recast her but I like Eden. Also, another character (Maggie) is leaving with her. They're not killing them off, just moving them away so they can recast. Dang.

I am very easy when it comes to recasts. I am far more committed to a character than an actor in almost all circumstances. I'm odd that way. If the announcement was, "The part of Fox Mulder will now be played by John Doe," I would have been cool with it. As long as the recast is reasonable. Doesn't bother me.

The actors I am committed to I will happily check out on their new ventures, but character and actor don't need to stay fused for me to continue to enjoy the work.

My day today:

talked to sister on phone, eaten breakfast, hung out on the computer, sat on couch, gone back to bed, eaten lunch, hung out on computer. I think I will return to bed.

I suck. I made me and Emily stuffed potato skins for lunch. Now, they're frozen (and one of our favorite snacks). All I have to do is stick them in the oven and let them cook long enough. Apparently I couldn't do that today. I thought they were done, but they weren't. I ate them anyway, even though they were still a little cold. Emily was waiting to eat hers, and I kind of hoped she waited long enough so she wouldn't know if it was 'cause they weren't cooked long enough or if she let them sit too long. Well, she noticed and kind of gave me a funny look. I was like, "Are they cold?" "Yeah. Were yours?" "Yeah. I ate them anyway. I was hoping you wouldn't notice."

She thinks this is very funny. I mean, it is, but damn. I can't even cook pre-made stuffed potato skins right! My kitchen skills are going out the window!

Totally unrelated, I think I figured out why I'm having such a hard time motivating myself to do anything. All of the things I want to be working on today aren't due right away. So, I really don't *have* to do them. It'll just make my life a lot easier if I do them now. My brain is a strange, strange place.

You are merely mastering the fine art of procrastination. Keep up the good work.

ION, I just found out a friend of mine is now living in England. She wants me to come visit. I would like to go, but a severe shortage of funds is hampering me. Perhaps this summer. I am all atwitter.

Kara=writer, Deena. I'd about bet.

I'd say I've mastered it pretty well.
