What Happens in Natter 35 Stays in Natter 35
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I like that about The OC, actually -- parents of high school kids aren't necessarily middle aged and shlumpy.
From your fingertips to God's ears, Jesse. I just felt old seeing someone I still think of as new, and young, playing a parent of teens. Mark my words, when Alyson Hannigan, SMG, or CC is the mom on a teen centered soap in five years' time, you'll know.

But I know I could reasonably be the parent of a ten-year-old already. There are people I was in high school with who have kids in high school now. I'm good with that. I know
I'll
be a middle-aged parent of a high schooler, but not everyone is.

I went to a basketball game at my old high school and ran into a guy I went to grade school with. He laughed and told me his oldest boy was on JV. I'm standing there holding Owen, trying to calculate how old I'll be when he gets to high school.
I've read more tha one print magazine (I say print, because I have higher fact-checking standards for these than for online works) that claim Melinda Clarke is 32. Or, let her claim it.
What career objectives??
I had to write one of these. I think the real idea is to see whether (a) you have a plan; (b) the plan is realistic and achieveable; (c) you understand the steps needed to achieve the plan; (d) you really want to do this; and (e) you are literate and able to write a persuasive essay.
MC never bothered me because at least she's a character who plausibly would have had kids very young. It's more of an irk when it's a character whose supposed to have gone to college/law school/etc., had a professional career yadda yadda, and it's just handwaved that the actress is only 12 years older than the kids.
SURVIVOR!! First off
why does Ian like Katie so much, she annoys the hell outta me and has proven herself to be one of the least trustworthy people. The women are totally stupid for not voting off Ian.
I mean, I want
Ian and Tom as the final two, but how can the girls not grasp that they will NEVER win immunity against the guys? Caryn, shot herself in the foot in the hugest way - insane. I could almost see Jeff going "um, you might wanna shut up now, cause they are all gonna vote your ass off."
CSI was one of the more boring episodes that I remember.
The OC: I didn't realize that the
Caleb
actor has a pilot. However, the
Hailey
actor has one for Fox therefore, I don't think that character will be back.
I liked the way that they
killed Caleb.
Also, I think that next year having
Julie Cooper
out and about all with her own
money
, not having to
answer to anyone,
could be alot of fun. I couldn't tell who it was
shooting
in the promo.

I'm not saying it is unrealistic. I am saying it is depressing to watch someone I best remember as the ingenue, play the mother.

She could be, but I bet they're letting her claim it. Imdb lists her d.o.b. as April 24, 1969. Her father was a soap opera actor, so there are probably soap fans (usually obsessive by nature--speaking from experience) who remember her birth. Her father was on Days of Our Lives for decades, playing Mickey Horton. She was on DoOL from 1989-90.
Current Favorite names of horses that may be running in the Preakness:
Scrappy T
Afleet Alex
Galloping Grocer
I mostly like the name Afleet Alex because Alex is my brother's name. I'm kind of torn between Galloping Grocer and Scrappy T as to which is my favorite name.
That is what professional horse-racing needs: more whimsy.
Actually, I think a lot of sports could benefit from more whimsy. This is why I advocate for more streakers at sports events, especially if they paint their naked (or, if they're modest, be-thonged) bodies with pointless slogan. Triple points if it is the players who tackle them instead of the security staff!!
Yes, I watch ESPN highlight reels for just such an eventuality. No, this would not work nearly as well for hockey or curling.
