Mood:
Music: Benny Goodman, Live at Carnegie Hall - "Sing, Sing, Sing". Yes, the record that launched my music career. I heard this recording as a child. When it came time to choose instruments for band, I let my parents know that I wanted to play clarinet. They were surprised by my choice. I suppose they thought I should be playing the flute or somesuch. You know, those female instruments. I piped back, "isn't that the instrument on this record and the one that Benny Goodman plays?" They said "yes." Two weeks later, I had my first musical instrument, the clarinet.

I shed a tear today because they bumped off my boyfriend, Nicholas Blair on Dark Shadows. He was so close to controlling it all. I have a feeling that the coming weeks may be a bit slow as we wrap up the 1968 storyline on DS. They finally did get around to the monster attempting to kill off folks again like the original Mary Shelley story but I have a feeling that those playing the Modern Prometheus will live and Adam will either be killed or disappear into oblivion. Sort of an odd end. What has happened to Angelique? Will that remain a mystery?

Unfortunately, before Nicky died, he raised up Tom Jennings. He is such a BORING vampire. Where is his hypnotic appeal? What was his point other then biting folks? If you want to lure the ladies Tom, get with the hypnotic, sexy appeal. Jez, what are you thinking?

Then, Chris Jennings, his mysterious twin gets introduced. Too bad the acting doesn't get better with this character. Suppose he has appeal for some, but he doesn't do much for me.

I still don't know what to make of Betsy Durkin as Victoria. She's not a stand out but they aren't giving her too much to do either. She did have good chemistry with Jeff though in today's episode. She made it believable that the guy that touches his hair too much was worth keeping in this time. Why? I still have not been able to figure out. If it were me, I would have dumped him and gone with Barnabas. He's far more interesting, a gentlemen and sexy as hell. Yes, I know he's like 250 years older. But, old is as old does I always say.
