live 8, gh and parents

[tiggz]

i watched the live 8 coverage again today. i didn't really see much more than i did last saturday. i did see Robbie Williams' performance though. i know you brits don't like him...for whatever reason, but that performace? fucking fantastic. he's the only one i saw that actually went out into the audience.

plus, he just had fun out there. he's a damn good performer.

once again they didn't bother to show Duran Duran's performance. in fact, i don't think they went to Rome once. bastages. thankfully i've found it online.

as for GH, they're playing a Jason marathon. i really love seeing all the old episodes with the original actors. Sarah Brown's Carly(which will always be my favorite), Robin, Brenda, Jax(pre-lobotomy), Felicia, Jonathon Jackson's Lucky. the list could go on and on...

*sigh* this show used to be so good. i haven't watched in months. i just keep up with what's going on through generalhospital.

in RL news, the parents came home a day early because of hurricane dennis. i spent the day cleaning so they didn't come home to the disaster area that i've been living in for the past few days. it paid off. at the very least mom's head didn't explode when she walked in the door. *g* seriously though, i'm glad to have them home.

Well, I don't like him. Some other people do. Like the hundreds that turn up to his gigs, for example.

There's nothing wrong with him per se, it's just that he doesn't offer me anything special, musically speaking. And I honestly do think he's an insufferable prat.

Talking of which, I was wondering if you'd downloaded and listened to my band's stuff yet?

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

anytime i've seen him on anything i've enjoyed him. so i guess i enjoy the insufferable prats. ;)

thank you for reminding me about your band's stuff! i had it downloaded and kept meaning to load it to the ipod to listen to, but the week's been crazy. it is now uploaded on the ipod and as soon as i listen, i will let you know what i think. :)

Robbie is a fantastic performer, I just wish so many of his songs were not crap. :/

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

i've only really heard a few of his songs...

[catmint.livejournal.com]

I'll send you some. I love Robbie beyond all reason.

You have a gmail account, right?

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

i do have gmail. tiggy3323@gmail.com. *smoooooch* let me know when you send because i don't check that email at all.

[catmint.livejournal.com]

I accidentally sent a song to your yahoo account. Let me know if you still even have that one.

The reason I want to send them to your gmail account is because of the storage space available. Anyway, all further songs will show up there. After I've sent a few I'll let you know.

got it! that's one that he did at live 8. in fact, that's the one where he went out into the crowd. i like! send more! ;)

Where's the old GH with real Lucky and real Carly? Is it on cable (soapnet, or whatever that is)? Do you know how long they're playing it. Gah, I loved the show, then. I haven't watched it in a few years. After SB left, it just wasn't the same.

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

yeah...it's on soapnet right now. this is probably the last hour, but i'm really not sure.

they're playing a bunch of different episodes. right now it's from the time when brenda came back with luis alcazar. this is after SB had left and both lucky and nikolas had been recast.

i liked the show even after SB left, but lately it's just been complete and utter crap. it isn't GH anymore. it's the Sonny/Carly/Jason show.

OMG LOGAN AND VERONICA BETTER GET BACK TOGETHER!!!

(I'm on Trip the the Dentist)

I think most Brits like Robbie. Because I always hear that people wonder why he's not big here.

GH Original characters?

[tourogal.livejournal.com]

I'm going to date myself here, but for me, a GH original character is Liz Taylor. and there was a witch doctor involved. And Anna loved Scorpio and Frisco had not had a music contract yet.

my mom watched when i was a kid. so remember all those except liz taylor. i didn't really start watching until '92 though.

Re: GH Original characters?

[tourogal.livejournal.com]

that's pretty much when i decided that if the plots hadn't changed in 20 years, i had prolly seen all they can do. so i stopped. i actually remember staying home from school to watch luke and laura's wedding.

i've moved on since then though.

I've been thinking about your parents!! So glad they are home safe and sound.

Did the breakfast in bed thing pan out??

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

no, it didn't. see previous entry for the sucktitude.

I am a GH freak and I'm on the verge of not watching with the Carly recast. It was so good to see Tamara Braun today AND Sarah Brown (I started watching after SB left), it made me miss her even more. Those eps were so good.

How can you stand all the hoopla drama over at generalhospital? I hate it. You should join abc_gh_elite, it's where the nondrama starters go. But I would not watch it, the recast makes me want to puke and ruined my favorite character. =(

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

i just hate how much they changed the Carly character when TB took over. they completely tried to gloss over so much of the crap that she did. they've done the same thing with Sonny(sans the recast) and it bugs.

honestly? i tend to not read comments in the community. most the time i don't even click on lj cuts. i just read random things. i'm really not that interested anymore.

Holy REPLY Batman!

Well, I was an ABC soap watcher for years. I haven't watched regularly since college...

Back in May, I took a day off work to help my mom prepare for her yardsale. We were watching the ABC soaps and I was shocked at all the recastings on GH as well as AMC and OLTL! wow!

Brenda was NOT in Vegas but romancing/not-romancing Sonny. Evil bitch Kendall was not slaying vampireson All My Children. And Nathan Fillion was Joey Buchanan. *sigh*

Scarily, after a brief "oh, that's the new *so-n-so*, and she is *youknow*'s neice and they have a son that *oldcharacterplayedbysameactorfor20years* has kidnapped. And, I know *he/she* died that one season, but that was a faked death." I was caught up enough to follow along!

Soaps are bizarre - they hardly ever change, yet, as different as they get after time, it's easy to catch up.

And they say LOST has a lot of main characters to maintain! (maybe LOST should air 5 times a week??? *faints at the thought of all that Sawyer!*)

So, I will leave you with this...

Ricky Martin was more credible as a soap star than any other title he has held (Menudo...his solo singing career...him...LMAO!)

GH spawned TEH BEST soaprockers! Rick Springfield...cmon! HE ROCKS!(soooo very sarcastic, please know!) Speaking of Rick Springfield, while I was in NJ this weekend they were announcing on a NYC station about Rick's new album and some promo type stuff. And my first thoughts were not "Oh, he's got a new album out." It was "Why would Rick Springfield be putting out a new album???" LMAO.

*sorry if you lurve Ricky or Rick. no general offensiveness meant*

**sorry for leaving you such a LONG reply, but you inspired me! and then there were the coincidental topic tangents...lol**
