Breaking News! 03-16-06:
There is a new campaign for Robin Fans called "Make Robin Matter" that
is starting up! It's a all-shipper campaign (meaning not related to any
particular Robin pairing, but for Robin by herself) and is based on the idea of
getting Robin (and Kimberly) more airtime and good, and character encouraging
scenes.
From one of the founders of the Campaign:
"Not so long ago, LiveOne (Tracee) started a great
conversation on SZ about how it's so tough being a Robin fan these days. She
said something that got a few of us thinking (I hope you don't mind me quoting
you):
'I want the best for Robin and for Kim. I want her to shine, I
don't want her to have to make lemonade out of lemons or do great with just
scraps. I want meat and depth and I want her to matter…'
Well, this got us thinking. And we decided that it is time to
gather up all Robin fans and tell TPTB to Make Robin Matter.
This campaign focus is on Robin, not the couplings. We want to
let TPTB know that we don't like how they are treating Robin. She should be used
more than simply as a prop. She should be portrayed better than just as a
one-note character. She deserves a story of her own.
So starting this Saturday (March 18) we are asking any and all
Robin fans to write in to the show--and to the mags; and call the comment line;
and send e-mails; and basically make your voices heard--about what YOU want for
Robin. And we ask that you use the catchphrase: "Make Robin Matter"
This is a month long campaign (ending April 18), with bulk
mailing dates on Saturdays, but really, if you can't mail out on Saturdays, do
it when you can.
To help you out, we created a flyer with a pre-printed message
for those who don't know what to say in their letters. There is also a postcard
available. And for those who do have something of their own to say or add, we
also have a "Make Robin Matter" letterhead that provides plenty of
space for you to write your own thoughts.
I hope that all of you will participate and feel free to spread
the word. We really want TPTB to see Robin fans want more for her!!!"
(Thanks to Sydney from the J&R board for creating these docs
and Vikki for composing the letter)
Here is a link to the flyers: http://www.leftovert.com/Scrubs/Flyers/
And here is an alternative link for each item, lest you can't
get to them there. You can either click on the link and go to the document and
print it from there, or right click on the link and save it to your own computer
for repeated printings. Preprinted
Flyer, Blank
Flyer, Prewritten
Letter, and Postcard.
You can find Addresses to write to everyone here.
I hope everyone will participate in this wonderful campaign, and
a huge THANKS to the wonderful ladies who had a hand in starting it up!!!

03.14.06:
Tonight I updated the KARMA site with
updates on KARMA, and Scrubs.

03.08.06 News:
Lisa, over at John
J York's (Mac Scorpio, GH) Official Website has started a campaign to
communicate to the TPTB at GH that the fans want more of the Scorpios (Mac,
Robin, and Robert) in scenes together when Robert returns! It's a
campaign that I whole heartedly support, and would like to encourage everyone
to support as well!
Check out the campaign here.
The Scorpios, all three of them, are truly a wonderful
family, and the chemistry between Kimberly, John and Tristan (Robert) is
amazing, and the show needs to do justice to this integral and important Port
Charles family. Let's hope they do soon!

03.05.06:
Tonight I updated the KARMA site with
updates on KARMA, J&R, and Scrubs.

02.27.06:

And get your message in for Kimberly's
birthday now, the cut off date is Feb. 28!

02.22.06:
Tonight I updated the KARMA site with
updates on Scrubs.
Heather's Notes: I know everyone was
disappointed that the Robin scene with Patrick that was in the previews
yesterday for GH today was cut, but the best thing you can do is express your
disappointment to the show and the magazines. Really, that is the ONLY WAY
things will change! So I direct you to the Addresses
page.

02.21.06:
Tonight I updated the KARMA site with
updates on KARMA, Robin/Jason and Scrubs.

Notes:
Kimberly is on the cover of "Woman's World Weekly" magazine this
week! Check it out at your local magazine stand.
BDS Is back, BDS is back! Wow, Robert Scorpio is
back. Hard to believe, especially considering the show barely used him
today and Friday! But still, he is back, and I loved it! I can't
wait for more!
Also, Kimberly's movie "Lil Star" is available on the
net! Check it out here.

Tonight I updated the KARMA site.
Notes:
So, what is the KARMA site? It's a site dedicated to all of the pairings
of Robin Scorpio. Yep, I added the Scrubs pairing to the site! I
have been loving them, truly loving them, lately, and I really wanted to add
them in. The truth is, the site is kind of geared more towards Robin and
her men, so I just changed it over that way. You can read more about the
change over on the actual KARMA
site.

11-29-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site.
Notes:
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! Check out the new Kimberly

Notes:
I hope everyone is making sure to vote in the Robin/J&R polls that are

site index page.

10-20-05:
No updates for tonight, just some news!
Kimberly made the top 20 of Yahoo's "Buzz Index" for today, which
is the top actors and actresses that were searched for on their search engine.
Kimberly is #1 for "Movers" as a "Breakout" and #18 for
"Leaders." She is up there with Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman,
Jennifer Aniston, and more, and is the only daytime person listed other then
Susan Lucci! Check it out here.
There are a bunch of new polls out there to vote for Kimberly, Robin, and
Robin/Jason in, so here is a list of them:
SOD: Love it/Hate it: Now that Robin is coming back, do you want to see
Jason/Robin, or Jason/Sam? Vote Here
or email them at sodlove@primediamags.com
SID: Would you rather see Jason stay with Sam or reunite with Robin?
Vote here
for this one. You can also vote for Kimberly as favorite actress, and
Robin/Jason for favorite couple in this one. You can also snail mail them
your answer, to: Readers' Poll #45, c/o Soaps In Depth, 270 Sylvan Avenue,
Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632
SOW: Who should General Hospital's Jason be with? Sam or Robin? Vote here
for this one.
Both the SOD and the SOW ones have a habit of being down sometimes, so you
might have to check back for them to vote.

10-16-05:
No updates for tonight, just some news!
SOAP OPERA DIGEST's next "Love it/Hate It" article is
going to be about Robin/Jason/Sam: "Now that Robin is coming back, do you
want to see Jason/Robin, or Jason/Sam?" You vote by sending them an
email here. Vote, everyone,
even if it's a short "I am thrilled Robin is back so she and Jason can be
together again" email!
Also, I forgot to post this here this weekend, but SOAPS IN
DEPTH'S online poll is now listing Kimberly as "favorite actress" and
Robin & Jason as "favorite couple." You can vote once a day,
so please do! Here is the link.

10-16-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site and the BUFFY/ANGEL
site.
Notes: Well, if there
is anyone who was trying to access the Kimberly site via the domain of
kimberlymccullough.net, my apologies for the down time. It seems the
company I register the domain with deleted the rerouting for the name on Weds,
and it took them FIVE DAYS and several hours of me on the phone on different
days, before they FINALLY corrected their own mistake this evening. Of
course that was after I called them again! Damn, I tell you though, I am
NOT a happy customer. Talk about a runaround and ineptness: if they
weren't saying it was one problem, it was another. I definitely am going
to think twice about doing business with them again. Anyways: if you ever
have problems accessing it through the domain name, try this way : http://www.romanticsgarden.com/kimberly
And on that note, the site got mentioned in SOAP OPERA
WEEKLY! Not this site, the Kimberly site. Wow, I am totally
shocked. I have been mentioned before, but never by name or details or
even domain name. Just "a fan site" of hers. Whee!
If only the dang domain name hadn't been down the first couple of days the
magazine came out on the east coast! You can check out a scan of the
mention here,
thanks to Shawna of the JR board.
Just some tidbits: David's show Bones has been picked
up by Fox for a full season, thank goodness. And USA is bringing back The
4400 for another season this summer, whee! I love that show, and I was
worried about it coming back. FX is going to have a marathon of Prison
Break's first 6 episodes this coming Sunday, and I highly recommend it, if only
to catch my latest couple addiction, Sara and Michael.

10-12-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site.
Notes:
Whee, I hope
everyone had a chance to watch today! Robin was back, Robin was back,
Robin IS back! I am still in shock, it feels so surreal. But if you
missed her return (which was fairly short, I think I ended up taping a whole two
minutes today!), you can check out clips of her scenes posted at the Kimberly
MB and the Jason
& Robin MB, thank you to some kind fans who will be doing them as she
airs!
And, wow, ABC is really behind our girl this time! They
have done something that has never been done for a soap opera character before:
they have created an online blog for her! Called "Robin's
Daily Dose" it will have her thoughts and feelings like a regular blog,
and supposedly will be updated on a daily basis, so I hope everyone checks is
out! I guess it's a good thing I never registered "robinscorpio.com"
like I considered in the past! For more information about this blog, check
out the official ABC
press release about it.
And also, I have had to take the clips down for the time being,
due to bandwidth issues. I was already at 40% of my allotted monthly
amount, and I couldn't risk the sites going down before the month was
over. I am going to look at changing hosts once by account comes up, but
that won't be for another year or so, so for now, we are stuck with this!
Sigh.

10-02-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site and
added the pairing of SARA/MICHAEL from Prison Break to the Couples
To Watch page.
Notes:
Sorry for the issues with the clips again this weekend. I had to take them down
earlier due to bandwidth issues, darn it. Unfortunately, Ipowerweb doesn't
have as much bandwidth per month as a lot of other places, and I still have
another year or so before my contract is up with them. It never mattered
before, but now with my doing clips, it matters.
I have gotten sucked into another couple, darn it! I
didn't mean to, I didn't even watch the show for that, but there it is, it
happened! So I added SARA/MICHAEL from the show Prison Break to the Couples to Watch section.
I got to see two movies this weekend, one awesome, and one not
so great. First, the not so great..."A History of Violence"
really doesn't live up to it's hype. It was gory and had too explicit of
sex scenes for the movie subject, and although Viggo does a great job with his
role, it's only got surface deepness, and nothing really and truly deep.
It hinted at some things, yet then never seemed to follow through on actually
exploring them. It was really disappointing.
Now for the awesome movie..."Serenity." It
rocked on so many levels! Truly excellent, and I can't wait to see it
again! I was not a huge fan of Firefly. I liked it OK, but
not a huge fan, and wasn't even sure I was really going to see this movie until
I started seeing the commercials. But man, am I glad I saw it! An
intriguing storyline, well written, well acted, with nice amounts of history and
nice amounts of political intrigue. I loved it. Even my mom, whom I
dragged with me and who never watched the show, loved it! Highly recommend
it.
And only 10 more days until Kimberly comes back to General
Hospital! Whee!

09-25-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site.

09-21-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site.
News:
First off, both Kimberly and Steve will be attending the Super Soap Weekend in
Florida this November! How cool is that? I wish I could go, but I
don't think I will be able to make it. It's a very big deal, the first
public appearance of Steve and Kimberly together in a long time!
And congratulations go out to Steve and his wife Sherree, who
are expecting their second child!
Notes:
Sorry for the lack of updates! I meant to have more this past weekend, but
I got caught up in changing over the Articles pages for the J&R site, that I
didn't get the updates done. I have a few small updates tonight, with more
to come this weekend, promise!

09-04-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site.

09-02-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site, the SCULLY/MULDER
site, the
Heather's Place site and the MICHAEL/MARIA
site.

09-01-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site.
Notes:
Wow, hard to believe, truly hard to believe! But yes, Kimberly is coming
back to General Hospital! Full time, baby, according to her rep who
spoke to TVGuide Online: "Kimberly is coming back full-throttle with a
contract. She is not recurring." Whee! So those who were
worried about her possibly just returning to kill Robin off, or just to prop up
Jason and his current pairing, can stop worrying!
And lookie, I got a mention on another site! Here:
http://www.ghthesoap.com/?JasonRobin
Yesterday, we started acknowledging the most enthusiastic fan site or message board from the top fan bases! Thus, today's most enthusiastic site is Romantics Garden a Jason and Robin fan site! Congratulations to the webmasters and their members!
Thanks to Renee for letting me know about that! How exciting!
I've been on vacation, and been doing stuff with the family and
doing some stuff around the house, so I apologize for the lack of updates.
I've tried to keep the Kimberly Site updated with the latest on Kimberly's
return, but haven't had a lot of time to do this one. However I do hope to
get a bunch of updates done for this weekend, so keep an eye out for those!
My apologies to anyone who tried to access the site the last
couple of days of August. Some of you may have gotten a strange page,
talking about "here is your future site." My bandwidth for the
month was about out, and it was making the site act up. I should be fine
now. I think the news of Kimberly's return had some people interested and
downloading a bunch of clips, which caused the overload on the bandwidth.
Cool to have so many people get interested in her return!
Anyone else watch the premiere episode of Prison Break?
I liked it, but I am not sure if I can watch a whole season full of it.
It's very tense, and very depressing, but boy, it sure reinforces the idea that
prison life is NOT a fun life! So I am not sure if it will be on my list
of "must see TV" this season. Still, do love the lead guy, very
hot, in a scary-mucho-intense sort of way!

08-07-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site, the BUFFY/ANGEL
site, the SCULLY/MULDER site and Heather's Place.
Notes:
This past week a friend of mine emailed me about how some of her friends have
reacted to her on her giving up on the Harry Potter series. Like me, she
is unhappy with the direction JKR has gone, and like me, she has no desire to
stick around. Unfortunately, some of her friends have been less then
supportive about it, telling her it's just "sour grapes," and
more. And it brought back to me a real pet peeve of mine about how some
people act like you should be loyal to a book series or a TV series, regardless
if you are enjoying it anymore, because if you don't then you aren't a
"true fan" or are just "whining" or have "sour
grapes" because it's not going the way you want to. And frankly, I
just don't get that line of thought. It's a freaking TV show/book
series/movie series, people! It's supposed to entertain you, not make you
miserable. If it's not something you find enjoyable anymore, then why the
heck should you stick around? I just don't get that, I really don't.
I watch this stuff and read this stuff to feel good, not to make myself unhappy,
frustrated, and disappointed. I'm not a masochist, and frankly anyone who
does keep watching/reading something that isn't bringing them pleasure or
enjoyment anymore, is a masochistic idiot. It's not worth it, people, it's
really not. Don't stick around something that is making you unhappy just
to prove to some idiot you're a "true fan." Argh! Anyway,
after reading and replying to her email, I wrote up a little rant and added it
to my site Heather's Place. You can read
it here.
And really, I encourage you, if a show/book isn't
entertaining you anymore, give it up. It's it's job to entertain you,
it's not your job to stick around and be loyal when it's making you
unhappy. Don't we all already have real life jobs that do that for us??
Anyway, on with site stuff. I've been really
wrestling with how to make over the site pages here. I redid SCULLY/MULDER
and JOHN/AERYN to my satisfaction, but am having a hard time with the
others. JASON/ROBIN is going to be a real bear to redo, considering how
many pages they have! I think my biggest problem is how to make a site
look good in both of the two main resolutions, 800x600 and 1024x768. I
have surfed the net and seen a lot of good looking sites that look good in one,
but not the other. The most popular look these days seems to be to make a
site fit 800x600, and when you look at it in the 1024x768 resolution, you end up
with a lot of empty space, because the site won't "expand" to fit the
larger resolution. Me, I like to try and get a site to expand or shrink to
fit each resolution, but you can't always make a site look good and still be
able to do that. It's very frustrating. So, I may just have to deal
with the fact that I might not be able to get a great looking site to fit both
ways, but I can get an OK looking site that will fit both ways, or a great
looking site that fits only one. I don't know. I do know that
since I personally use 800x600 resolution, that will be the one I will design
for (if I do decide to just design for one). Sorry, 1024x768 people!
I've seen a lot of people really praising the UPN show Veronica
Mars, so I have tried to get into it. I watched this past week's
episode, but I have to admit, I wasn't hooked on it. I did go on the net
and download some clips for it, and I liked what I saw fine. Only problem
is, it looks like the couple I like may not be the most popular couple, if you
judge by the internet, and not sure if I want to get into another couple that
isn't going to make it. Heck, another couple alone is a trial! I
really liked Duncan & Veronica together, but not sure if the show is going
to go with Logan & Veronica instead. It probably won't matter to me,
as I really don't think it's going to be a show I am going to get into. Ah
well!
I added a new wallpaper to Heather's Place
tonight, and before anyone looks at it and goes "WTH?" I
have to warn you, it's of a pairing a lot of people will probably wonder
over. Anyone ever watch Poltergeist: The Legacy? I used to,
and my two favorite characters were Nick and Kat. Nick was one of the guys
who worked for the Legacy, and probably in his late 20's. Kat was the
psychic daughter of on the of the new Legacy members, probably around 9-10 years
old. Now, before you start wondering about my tendencies, I did ship these
two, but I shipped them for when Kat was an adult, not as a child, LOL!
I just wanted Nick to wait for her. I don't know why I did, but I was
happy to find I wasn't the only one when I talked to a friend of mine a few
years ago and she thought they would have made a good couple too, as soon as Kat
was in her 20's. Come on, it would have only made Nick in his 40's to her
20's, and that ain't that big of a difference, especially if you go by
Hollywood's standards! Anyway,
that is my latest wallpaper, from screencaps I took of one of the show's
episodes.
BTW: GH fans, GH has now hit their "all time low"
in the ratings for the fifth time this year! It's a new record, give
it up for GH! I can't believe it, I really can't. Well, actually I
can considering how sucky their writing is these days. I just have to
laugh over the latest storyline for Jason & Sam, created just to try and
incorporate the dancing of KeMo. Good lord, there was just no good way to
try and write her DWtS stuff in, but they had to go and try it anyways, and boy
does it sound BAD! And you know it's bad when both actors are cringing
when they are telling their fans about it. It's just...bad. I can't
believe anyone in the writing room could suggest this with a straight face, let
alone actually DO it! And they wonder why their ratings suck so bad.
According to rumor, Guza and Pratt have until August to try and turn the ratings
around, or they are out of there. Judging by the spoilers for this dance
storyline, this ain't going to do it. And already, out of the gate, the
last week of July has them hitting their all time low with a 2.5 in HH, tied at
#5 in the HH, and #3 in demos. On top of that, from the same time last
year, they have lost over a MILLION VIEWERS. A million, people! The
next show who has lost the most is AMC with a little over half a million.
And yet heads have STILL not rolled over at the GH executive offices? I
just don't get that. I have seen how other shows have cut people right and
left because their ratings have just been stagnant. JFP and GaP bring this
once great show to it's knees with horrible storylines and arrogant attitudes,
and yet they are still in charge. Oy. I just hope the show doesn't
get cancelled before it gets a chance to be turned around and brought back to
that once great kickass soap I used to know and love!
Stargate: SG1 is rocking seriously hard with Ben and
Claudia in the cast! I love Vala, love her! I wasn't sure about
her from the episode she was in last season, but this season she has been
brilliant! I love how she gets to Daniel, and I love how she brings out
the snarkiness in Daniel himself. She sooooo needs to stick around, she
really does. Can't we trade her for Sam, please? Cause I am so done
with Sam and the way they have written her the past few seasons. But Vala...Vala
is a whole bag of fun!
A lot of the Buffy/Angel actors have shows and guest
appearances this coming fall season, and I have the list of them and their
project on the News page. Check them out here.
Some sound good, some sound not, but at least they are all working!
Now if only Kimberly had gotten a show that had been picked
up, sigh.

Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site.
Notes:
I've been bad! Sorry, I just haven't been in the mood to update the
site! I've been working on a new project (non cyber world), as well as
it's just been too hot here to sit in front of the computer. So sorry!
So, to make my last month fast: the new "Harry Potter"
book sucks pond water in more then one way, "War of the Worlds" was OK
(though I adore Dakota Fanning), "Fantastic Four" was very
entertaining, "Mr. And Mrs. Smith" was pretty good, the previews for
"RENT" and "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" look
awesome, I got my new Earth 2 DVD in, and Stargate: SG1 rocks
seriously with Ben (and Michael still there, yum) and Claudia added to the
cast.
Oh, and work sucks. But my family and my babies rock.
See, all caught up 

07-10-05: Notes:

Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site.
Notes: I went to see
"Bewitched" yesterday. Cute flick. Not great, but it was
fairly entertaining, despite the lag in the middle. I like Nicole Kidman,
and I always loved the original show, despite the fact that it ticked me off
that Darrin was such an azz. Samantha was supposed to respect him and his
heritage, but he couldn't respect her. She was supposed to change for him,
but he couldn't change for her. She was supposed to put up with his
mother, but he couldn't put up with hers. It was all very annoying.
I did however always want to be Samantha. Man, I wanted to be her or Jamie
Summers from "The Bionic Woman!" Samantha would have been
better, since with a twitch of her nose, she could do anything! I would
have had to have been like Tabitha though, and moved my nose with my finger to
make things work, since I can't twitch at all! 
We
got to see 5 previews, and the best by far was the one for "RENT."
Anyone ever see that on Broadway? I never did. Theater is a little
too expensive for me. But I always wanted to, so I am excited they are
putting a movie out about it. It looks excellent too. They play the
song "Season of Love" during it, and it brought tears to my
eyes. I didn't know Jesse L. Martin from Law & Order could sing!
All in all, definitely a movie I will be going to see, even if it is a bit heavy
in parts.
This is the week that Sherrilyn Kenyon's latest Dark Hunter
book comes out! I can't wait, even if I am more excited for the book
after that, the one about Wren. I really like the Dark Hunters, but I have
to admit I am partial to the Were's, and Wren (like Valerius did) has fascinated
me since he was first introduced. But regardless, I am still really
excited to read the next installment! It just sucks so bad that they only
release a couple a year, esp since it sounds as if the author is several books
ahead! So why they don't publish at least 3 a year when she has them done
is beyond me. Just like torturing us, I guess.
So GH fans, seen the ratings for the show lately?
Wow. The week before last, they were 2.7, an all time low, when the
previous few weeks they had held steady at 2.8, the previous all time low.
Yet now...now, the ratings are at 2.6. 2.6!! Wow, how the mighty
have fallen! And by the looks of the daily ratings for last week that
someone posted, they might hit a 2.5 come this Thursday (the day the ratings for
the previous week are announced). It's just...sad. I mean, it really
is. It was funny when they hit 2.9, their all time low, earlier this
year. It was funny when they hit 2.8 several weeks later. It even
gave me a chuckle when they hit 2.7 a couple of weeks ago. But 2.6...this
is just pathetic. I wonder if it will finally give TIIC a freaking CLUE
that their garbage ain't working? It's bad enough they keep doing what
they are doing and ruining the show, but it makes it a thousand times worse when
you read articles from the two head writers who arrogantly brag that they are
going to do what they want to do, regardless of how the fan's feel, and the fan's can take it or
leave it, and if they do leave it, then they are just dumb and don't get
it. Ugh, so sick of them! So while it makes me really sad to see how
the mighty GH has fallen, a show I used to think was the best of the best, that
I used to look forward to watching every summer when I was in school, it also
makes me glad. Glad in a bitter way, as a former diehard GHer, who would
love to see it get back to what it once was. Ratings are money, and shows
are all about the money, so yes, I do get some satisfaction seeing them fall,
because if they don't listen to the fans, they will damn well listen to
this. Let's just hope they can actually manage to turn it around
before it totally spirals down the ratings drain.

06-20-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site, the NATHAN/HALEY
site, and the MICHAEL/NIKITA site.
Notes: For all those La
Femme Nikita fans out there, season 3 is being released on DVD! In my
opinion, this is the best season of them all. Nikita has really come into
her own, no longer occasionally whiney, more accepting but still not letting her
life change her for the worst, and, with the revelations about Michael's
undercover Section work out, she and Michael finally really have a chance to be
together! Of course Section doesn't like that, but we know Michael, he
will find a way for them Awesome
season, the best of them all, and I can't wait for it to come out!
Has
anyone had a chance to catch the latest new shows? I saw The Closer
on TNT and The Inside on FOX. I think I enjoyed The Closer
more, but The Inside was interesting, if a little gory. I haven't
seen the second episode yet, though I have it on tape. The second episode
of The Closer is on tonight.
I wasn't sure about Inside The West, TNT's Steven
Spielberg epic Western, but I really enjoyed the second episode. And
surprise-surprise, I really liked Keri Russell in it. I was never a big
fan of hers, but I actually like her now. Maybe it was the whole Felicity
thing I never got, but regardless, she was good in this show. I am looking
forward to more of her story, and to seeing Tyler Christopher make his
appearance. He's the youngest son of the main white man and his Lakota
wife, Jacob Wheeler. His character made an appearance in the second night,
as a newborn and at the end as a little boy about 7-8 years old. But I
don't think he shows up until the 3rd (though most likely the 4th) night.
BTW, anyone thinking about signing up for SBC DSL, let me
just tell you, they are HORRIBLE! Tech support over the weekend was
terrible, then they wanted to charge me to get it fixed on Monday! I
finally just had enough and cancelled it, and after 40 minutes on the phone and
talking to about 6 different people, I finally managed to...I think. Lordy,
I will not be doing business with them again if I can help it! Oy.

06-13-05: OK, I fixed the
links to the Stone/Robin clips at the ROBIN/STONE
site! Sorry about that!

06-12-05: Tonight I updated the
JASON/ROBIN site.
Notes: I love it, I sign up
with SBC DSL for their new deal ($14.95 a month for a year), get it all set up
Friday night, have a blast surfing the web at soooo much faster speeds then my
Dial-Up, and then come Saturday, can't log on cause they are working on the line
and will be until Monday! What kind of sense is that, I ask? Why
didn't they TELL ME THIS when I set up my activation date? I am so going
to insist on a credit for these two days! And it certainly doesn't make me
feel very confident in their service, when the second day I am online with them,
the service doesn't work. Sigh.
Does anyone remember the book and movie "The
Outsiders?" The movie stared Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell,
Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swazye and Diane
Lane. The book was written by S. E. Hinton. I may be dating myself
but I loved that movie when I was a teen and I used to have entire sections of
the book memorized! Anyway, the point is, I just read that Warner Bros. is
planning on re-releasing it into theaters on Sept 9 and then releasting it on
DVD on Sept 20. Seems like they added 22 minutes of "never before
seen footage," including a new beginning and ending. I get the
feeling they finally added in the scenes of Ponyboy getting jumped by the Socs
that happened at the beginning of the book. I know they filmed those
scenes, cause I saw pictures of them, but when they released the movie, they cut
them. They also cut the scenes of Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darryl going to
court at the end, so those may be the ones they re-added too. I may not
make it to see it in the theaters, but I will definitely be buying that DVD, if
only for nostalgia!

06-06-05: Tonight I updated the
JASON/ROBIN site.
Notes: Well, as you can see,
I have changed the look of this front page, and one of the other generic pages
as well. Hopefully they will work for everyone, please let
me know if they don't! I decided I needed a change. I may change
the couples sites as well, possibly into several different versions, but not
sure yet what is going on. I've been playing 
The Calendar section above is a listing of dates of
things I am looking forward to. Some you may be as well. The current
banner is of Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King in the movie "Blade:
Trinity." He was the best thing in that movie!
For those Clip fans, I have some good news for you and
some bad news: good news is, I have been making a bunch of new ones for the
site! Bad news is, I am having a problem uploading them. I only have
dial up and some of these clips are taking a couple of hours to upload, which is
CRAZY! But, more good news, I have finally decided to make the change over
to DSL, so as soon as I get that hooked up, it should be a lot easier for me to
upload them. So for now, no clips yet, but hopefully there will be some in
the next week or so.

05-23-05: Tonight I updated the
JASON/ROBIN site.

05-15-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site, the JOHN/AERYN site, the Slash Couples
site, and Heather's Place was updated a couple of weeks ago.
Notes:
Sorry it has been a while since I updated! I've been tired lately and not much in the mood to update. Although with the seasons
slowing down, there hasn't been a whole lot to update anyway.
I did get a chance to update Heather's Place
at the end of last month, just never put it up here. I updated the Men's
page and added the Character's page to the Favorites section. Just some
fun stuff.
I have found myself picking up a couple of new couples in the past few
weeks. One or two might even get their own addition to the site!
I've totally become addicted to the pairing of Coop and Lizzie on Guiding
Light. I don't think I have gotten so into a soap couple since Blair
& Todd on OLTL (post J&R of course). They're awesome, and if you
are interested in checking them out, this is a wonderful site to see, Meant
to Be. There are a couple of other interesting couples on that show
right now, including the pairing of Marina and Danny. You can find out
more about that pairing at this site, Solace.
I have also really been enjoying the pairing of Rory and Logan on Gilmore
Girls. Some of you Young American fans might remember him from
there. They are adorable, love them! I was never really into that
show, but I found myself watching it one day and was hooked on him. I was
very happy when they really did pair him up with Rory later on. You can
find out more about them at this site, Rory
& Logan.
I've also found myself interested in Bright and Hannah on Everwood, though
I have just started watching them and am not that hooked on them yet. What
can I say, I am just looking for a few good couples, LOL! You can find out
more about them at this site, The
Perfect Day.
I've decided to make a few changes to the sites. Mostly minor cosmetics
changes. Right now, only JOHN/AERYN and MICHAEL/NIKITA have been changed,
but eventually, I hope to have them all changed over. The main
change you will see is the Index pages for each couple. I decided to try
and simplify them a little. Please let me know if you have any problems
with any of the changed pages! Or any pages at all, for that matter.

04-25-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site, and the JOSH/DONNA
site.
Notes:
For all of you Miracles fans, the show that ABC so insanely cancelled without giving
it a chance, it's now out on DVD! Catch the 7 eps that ABC never aired,
they are all on that DVD set. It sadly sounds like they ended on a cliff
hanger though, so be prepared to have it end unresolved. Great show, I
really enjoyed it, sigh.
04-17-05: Tonight I updated Heather's
Place, the Misc Couples Links page, the JASON/ROBIN
site, the JOSH/DONNA site, and the BUFFY/ANGEL site.
04-04-05:
Tonight I updated the JASON/ROBIN site.
Notes:
For all of you clip fans, the clips are now back up. Sorry, last week the bandwidth
for the site was getting pretty tight, and it looked like it might not make it
for the rest of the month. Hence, me taking the clips offline, and not
even updating the site for fear of using too much bandwidth. But the clips
are back up now, and I added a new set to the J&R site.
