No puke, no pee, but come on in anyway

I've confessed here before that I am addicted to General Hospital. Every weekday, I see these same people, give or take a Carly replacement or three, and they're almost like the family I'm glad isn't my family. And you see people change, you see kids grow up (if they keep the same kid on contract), you watch characters go through pain and change and...zits.

Yeah, I'm a TV zit watcher. Lots of closeup shots and the fact that I'm usually watching GH on tape gives me the opportunity to closely examine this phenomenon. One actress in particular seems to sprout a lot of facial molehills.



This is Emily, also known as Saint Emily or Poor, Pathetic Emily, depending on which snarky soap fan you ask. She is the simpering voice of reason and conscience in a small New York town gone mad with its own retardation...and she gets lots of zits on her chin.

Now, I'm not sayin' she's not still cute, but man - she does her fair share of onscreen kissy face, and I'm always worried what that kind of close proximity and friction could do to her, ah, condition.


Dramatization.

Today she was makin' out with mob boss Sonny Corinthos. Now, whattaya suppose is gonna happen the day the Godfather leans in for a kiss and ruptures her pus-filled volcano? You think there's not gonna be a hit on her after he pulls back and sees his favorite jacket ruined?




I don't see how it can be good for anyone in Port Charles. Sand that thing down, Emily. Do it for the children.

On a less zitty note, Arjay's wife was able to smuggle the Play-Doh to me today. Yes, that's right - we successfully stole modeling compound from her young children. Score!

I am amazed by the variety of colors they make now. There is gold and there is silver and there is fuschia and there is black! And it's virgin Play-Doh.



And as if things couldn't get any more right-in-without-splinters, there was also a brand-new Play-Doh Fun Factory in the smuggle bag!


Well, don't I feel silly - my nickname for my lady parts is "Fun Factory" too!


I don't think it should be hard to guess what I'll be doin' all weekend.
