You know what I think "they" should invent (whoever "they" are)? Laundry that does itself. Oh sure, with automatic washing machines it practically does--it's not like we have to beat it against a rock or run it through a mangle, but still. Why is it so hard to get the clothes out of the hamper and into the washing machine?

And while "they're" at it, "they" should invent vacuum cleaners that will get themselves out of the closet and do all the vacuuming once a week too.

*sigh* I'm the laziest person ever. And if I weren't so lazy, I'd work a little harder on changing that aspect of my life....

All My Children

Years ago they had a storyline where Erica stole Maria's baby and pretended that she had adopted her from overseas. It wasn't my favorite story, but it was pretty well done and had (as I remember it) a good payoff. I really, really don't have any interest in seeing essentially that same story redone with Bianca and her baby. All signs seem to indicate that that's the direction they're going. Blech!

Add to that the way Days of Our Lives just finds new ways to plumb the depths of the Abbys of the Craptacular, and my lunch time television viewing is becoming less and less fun.

I remember the days when I enjoyed soap operas. Sure, there's always a storyline or two that doesn't click. And many stories really didn't make much sense. But watching was a pleasant experience. I miss those days.
