Say it ain't soooo...(Spoilers)

Please. Last night was a rough one for me. First, I watched the second half of All My Children on SoapNet, and Zarf was lying on the ground, all beat up, and that fool JR was just spewing vitriol at him and not calling 911 like he should. What happened? Nothing had better happen to Zarf.

Then (I'm all choked up thinking about it), they killed Sheriff Lamb on Veronica Mars at 9! Nooooooooo! The character was kind of a jerk, rather incompetent and usually wrong, but he was also very funny, and a nice foil for Veronica and Keith. The actor,Michael Muhney, totally stole all of his scenes. Plus, on a shallow note, I will miss his loveliness.



RIP, Lamb! I hope you're doing the robot in heaven.

Such injustice in the world! The odious Babe is alive, and I have to worry about Zarf? And Lamb got killed by Richard Grieco? Not good times. Coming on top of last week's episode of The Office, and lack of Jim/Pam, I feel very sad. BTW, I've been reduced to dreaming about Jim and Pam. Not even joking. I dreamed that they went out for Thanksgiving dinner with my family, and hooked up in the bathroom. Weird, huh?

Happy Birthday, hanrahan!

I would like to send out a birthday request to you, and at the same time try to figure out how to post a video clip to my blog.




It's the Zarf version of "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban. I'm kinda bummed he didn't do something by Celine Dion or "You and Me Against the World" by Helen Reddy (which for all of you who weren't there, was the song my m-i-l chose to dance to with the hubby at my wedding. It was weird). Please ignore the funeral milieu, and focus on the classy black suit and french twist.

You're an inspiration to us all, hanrahan. Hope you had a good day!

Best of Both Worlds...

Chicks with dicks!!!



A couple of weeks ago, I was at my parents' house on a lunch break, and All My Children was on. Bianca (AMC's resident lesbian) is talking to her sister about her attraction to a man. I'm like, "What the Hell? They're turning Bianca straight?" Mom's like, "I don't know. The guy's name is Zarf, and he's a rock star, and wears eye makeup." And I'm like, "What, is he Ziggy Stardust? Is he from Melmac?" And then Zarf shows up in a black dress, a slightly adrogynous but distinctly male figure with a very affected accent. What in the name of all that is holy? Day-um. If anything could start me watching soaps again, it's trannies with smudged eyeliner.

Apparently, Zarf was introduced as female rock star "Zoe." Then he came clean about being a man. Then he fell in love with Bianca, and realized that he's a lesbian in a man's body. Bianca's pissed at him now, although he's going to get gender reassignment surgery, and you'd think she'd be happy about girl parts. And half the town thinks he's a serial killer, or something. I don't know. It's all very confusing and over the top, but fascinating. Even though I'm obsessed with Zarf, I don't get to watch it every day. He's handsome, but somewhat creepy, which is unfortunate. I think it's the accent, a faux British lockjaw thing. It makes him particularly bizarre, so I don't know if I'm rooting for him and Bianca.

I'm just amazed that AMC went there. For those not in the know, AMC has a reputation for dramatizing social issues. They had AIDS and homosexual storylines way before it was dealt with on prime time. And Bianca, the lesbian, gets way more play than any gay character on prime time network tv. I mean romances and love triangles and the whole bit (though being a soap opera, they never end well.) But will they really go through with a man becoming a woman? I don't know. All I know is, it makes for some hee-larious tv. Apparently, I'm not the only one. I was looking for a picture to post, and apparently VH1's Best Week Ever blog is doing a daily Zarf Clip. You must check out her big breakdown.

p.s. I couldn't find a single pic of Zarf in a dress or the Silence of the Lambs bathrobe. What a shame!
