The Digital Age and the Death of Books Continues

On Monday I wrote an article wondering if the digital age would be the death of books.

Just now I turned on CNN and they were talking to Stephen King. They asked him if  he thought books would go all digital. It sounded like he thinks they will but he didn't want to say it out loud. He did say the futures going to be what the futures going to be. He also said that if you drop a book in the toilet you can fish it out, dry it off and read it. If you drop your Kindle in the toilet your done. I hadn't thought of that one.

I Really Liked The New Hawaii Five-0

It's been many years since I watched the original Hawaii Five-0.

Other than the names and being in Hawaii, I'm not remembering a lot of similarities in the two shows. The characters look a little like the old characters. I don't remember a woman being on the team. I also didn't remember McGarrett being a pilot and having a team with pretty much full reign to do what he wants.

I was a little kid last time Hawaii Five-0 was on so it could just be I don't remember, could be they changed it for the new show.

Regardless I really enjoyed the first episode. Looks promising.

General Hospital Recap, Monday Sept 20, 2010

Dante takes Spinelli's computer. Spinelli, I beg your pardon. That is most rude and presumptuous. Not that I'm surprised considering the source. But you have no right. Dante this is one of the most dangerous criminals in the world. Spinelli, GIVE IT BACK! Dante, not too many people draw the attention of the Balkin and live to tell about it. I love Spinelli! 

Dante, its not that hard to figure out really. Maybe Sonny wants to work with the Balkin or maybe the Balkin is moving in on Sonny's territory and he's gearing up to defend it. For it not being to hard to figure out he is way off base. Spinelli, I will not divulge privileged confidential information, especially to you. Dante, you people have no idea who you are dealing with. Spinelli, True. I never heard mention of the Balkin until I was asked to research him. He's somewhat of a legend in Europe but virtually unheard of in the states, so how would you a lowly New York cop come to know of a man like this. Dante, I'm a cop, the son of a mobster, its my job to know the where abouts either here or abroad. Could you just tell me if you found something. Spinelli, If I had I wouldn't share it with you. Dante, We were on the same side with this.

Spinelli, You seem to think that your betrayals carry some kind of expiration date, that over time all should be forgiven, but the repercussions of your gross misdeeds continue to reverberate. Young Sir was sent to prison. Stonecold was forced to follow to ensure Michael's safety. Heinous events occurred all of which you are responsible for. Dante, That was the biggest regret of my life so far. If I could take it back I would. But since that's not a possibility, I've done everything in my power to make it right, I got Michael out of prison. I got the charges against Sonny in Johnny's shooting dropped. Don't you think I deserve a couple of check marks in the plus column. Spinelli, I see how you do it. The affable mean, the feigned honesty, I mean its quite appealing to the unexpected. And fair Lulu she still has no idea what a smooth liar you are. Or how easily you could just drop kick her heart. Spinelli goes to door and opens it. Dante, I love Lulu and she means everything to me, I would lay down my life for her in a heart beat if I had too. Spinelli, I sincerely hope fair Lulu comes to her senses one day and leaves you. So that you can experience the broken heart that you so richly deserve. Dante leaves. Oh, I'm so proud of Spinelli, remember when he first came he would talk to people and get all flustered and give up stuff without meaning to. He just seriously went a round with Dante and didn't tell him a dang thing, and he told him off pretty good in the process too.

Lucky still on the phone with Babak while someone is banging on the door. Babak tells him the Balkin is coming there. Its Siobhan telling him he has to leave right away. Ronan tells Siobhan to leave if the men from the restaurant see her, they'll know she came to warn him. She won't leave without him. Says he's a miracle. He's not a heartless assassin anymore. Siobhan pulls a gun, says she can pull her own weight.  Ronan tells her put it away. She kisses him and leaves. Hmmm This Sibohan reminds me of Sibohan Ryan on Ryan's hope. Ronan calls Dante tells him is going to meet the Balkin. Dante tells him screw what interpol says get the hell out of there. Knock on door. Three guys come in put a hood of Ronan's head and take him out. I'm thinking Siobhan is outside and going to follow them, she doesn't seem like the kind to do what she is told.

Sonny and Claire are making out. I'm feeling no chemistry here, actually it's kind a grossing me out. weird. OMG he actually said was it good for you. Claire tells him for all the money, wives, women and children he has. He is the loneliest man she ever met. I'm really not liking these to together, sorry, this is just bad.

Jason, I'm hear to make sure you don't get yourself killed and I don't do parties. Brenda says its not work its a gala. Do you know what that word means? Geez Brenda what a brat. Jason says he's not going and neither is she. Suzanne arrives, Jason tells her Brenda's not going. Suzanne suggests Jason talks to security. They have implemented several of his ideas. Jason leaves. Suzanne thinks he is very talented. Brenda thinks Suzanne has the hots for Jason. LOL Suzanne says Jason's cuddly ROFL She likes him. Jason, comes back and says Brenda still can't go. Suzanne explains the importance of the gala. Jason apologizes to Brenda.

Carly/Jax. I'm really tired of these two. Make up your mind already. Ok Jax is moving back in.

 Max still in blue looking good. Diane has papers for Sonny to sign. Max says Sonny's not around. They go out to terrace and see the candle light dinner, Diane says Sonny's either taken his seduction elsewhere or Claire Walsh finally got wise and Sonny's off tracking her down. Max rubbing Diane's shoulders. Diane, either way thats a lovely table. Max, shame to see it all go to waste. Diane, who says it has too? Diane and Max are eating Sonny and Claires dinner Diane says she has mixed feelings. On the one hand my shoe closet and I would have adored all of those billable hours we would have racked up if Sonny would have gone to trial for shooting Johnny Z. Then my ego would have been enormously gratified had I wiped the floor with that self righteous Claire Walsh. LOL On the other hand I realize its better for all concerned the charges were dropped especially for the children. Max, I'm really surprised Sonny came back at all. Diane you know why he came back don't you? Because Brenda Barrett turned him away. Sonny turned up torch flaring and Brenda had put hers out a long time ago. Max, I only met Brenda once but wow she does leave an impression. God that womans hot I mean for real. Probably the sexiest woman I.... Ohhhh foot in mouth Max Diane laughing. Max, what I meant was except for you of course. Diane, yes. Max, its a different class of hotness altogether. Doesn't compare. Diane, I suggest you start immediately start trying to convince me of that. Max gets up and goes to other side of table and kisses her. These two I love, complete opposites, but they crack me up.

Dante calls a friend at his old precinct to get information. Tells him he needs it ASAP someones life depends on it.  Lulu walks in on conversation. Dante tells Lulu whats going on. Lulu, you think something bad is going to happen to my brother. Dante says the Balkin is like a walking death sentence. Lulu asks him if he's ever dealt with the Balkin. Dante, I was involved on a case peripherally that involved the Balkin, what I do know is that he is violent, unpredictable and elusive. Lulu how is Ronan involved with the Balkin. Dante, just speculation I m guessing they were working together, fell out of favor, if the Balkin gets his hands on Lucky there's no telling what will happen. 

Carly tells Michael she is not threatened by Brenda Barrett. Jax comes in with a smiley faced pizza. Carly tells them now that they are a family again. Total honesty. Morgan, now that you are back together again, Jax will be my stepdad again. So there's no reason for him to adopt me right?

Jason is in a tux. Brenda asks Jason to at least say hi, how are you back to people. Brenda tries to fix his tie. Jason, says don't touch. LOL

Ronan is in a warehouse type room hands tied behind his back. Not looking good for him.

Sonny and Claire come downstairs to eat and walk in on Max and Diane on the floor of the terrace. Sonny, this is my house, my food what are you doing here? Claire says looks like someones been eating your porridge. Diane, I guess congratulations are in order. Sonny has slept with the prosecutor which means he's effectively weakened her to the point where she can not go up against him in court. You do realize don't you that you just got played. Zing! All this while in her bra hopping around on one shoe.

Jason and Brenda arrive at gala, they are in the limo camera lights flashing outside and Brenda starts saying oh no, no, no, no. The corsett just came undone underneath my dress. Jason, I don't even know what that is. Brenda, just unzip the top of my dress and reconnect the corset. Jason, my job is to make sure you stay alive. I don't fix dresses. LOL  Brenda, oh no Ernesto going to be so mad please please. Jason gets out of the car. Paparazzi everywhere.  He goes around to the other side of car to get Brenda out. They pose for pictures. Hmm no picture of him fixing her corset to make Sam jealous?

So I've been thinking about the Balkin and today I'm really leaning towards it being Alcazar. If I remember correctly didn't Jason help Skye kill Alcazar? So he should be good and dead right, but this is a soap after all.  I'm thinking Alcazar had world wide connections, he was evil enough to act like Dante portrays him. It could be him.  And where is Skye she was in town, then she was gone, did she tell anyone she was leaving? She disappeared about the same time Luke did now that I think about it. Hmmmm the unanswered questions.



 

One Life To Live Recap, Monday Sept 20, 2010

James tells Starr it was Langston with Ford. James say he's learned not to count on anything. Now that Bobby lost his job he lost his chance to go to college. Guess he should have applied for the grant. James says his dad was right all he is good for is stealing cars. Starr says your right you are a good car thief, and if that's what you want to do then good luck, but if you want something more your going to have to fight for it. Starr tells James to apply for a grant, she will help him. James is going to apply for the life grant again. The same one Gigi was applying for.

Langston tells Ford she was the one who gave the dean the photos. Ford finds out the whole Langston visit was a setup. Ford,I trusted you I believed everything you said. Langston, now you know how I felt. Ford tells Langston she not only hurt him she hurt James. Langston, he's better off without you. Ford, You got me good. I'll miss you.

John has a tail on Ross, who is sitting in his bar Rodi's. Ross is talking to Eli, says its convenient Tea died just in time for him to swoop in and get Dani. Eli starts telling Ross about how Tea got sick. He has a flash back of going into Greg's office when Greg initially got the tests back. Greg tells Eli Tea is fine there is nothing wrong with her. Damn, girl went through radiation for nothing.  Ross asks Eli after you recover whats your next step. Eli, to live happily ever after. Natalie walks up and grabs the phone out of Ross' hand. Natalie hears Eli say Ross that's it. Then she claims to Ross it looked like her phone that she lost at the memorial. Natalie tells John she only talked to Eli a couple of times but she's willing to bet Ross was talking to his dead brother Eli. The caller Id was blocked. John can't trace the call.

Greg is confessing everything to Tea, who appears to be sleeping. .I think she's listening, even if she's in a coma sometimes people hear and remember things. Greg tells Tea she was perfectly healthy until she met him. Eli slipped something into her water in court that is why she passed out. He told Greg to tell her she was dying or Destiny and everyone would find out what he didn't want them to know. Greg prescribed medication to cause the symptoms of a massive tumor. Eli even suggested the hospice, he knew she would want to spare her family. Greg was supposed to kill Tea, but since he couldn't he said he pulled every favor he could to get her back in the states, close to Todd and Dani. Then he bought himself some time to figure out what to do next and for her to recover. Greg tells Tea he put her in a coma so he can flush the drugs he gave her from her system, but he has to go back to Eli to convince him he needs surgery. He's fine, he just needs to get him on the operating table so he can kill him. That explains why he didn't just let him get on the plane and let his head explode.

Todd's at the court house talking to Blair about Tea.

Dani is telling Destiny that Greg kept her from her mom and if he would lie about that he would lie about anything. 

Ross arrived at the court house Blair started talking to him about the case and ended up screaming at him over and I hate Eli.

Nate left Dani in the park alone. I don't like that. She said she would never leave without saying goodbye. Okay, she's with Destiny again, I feel better. Destiny asks about the hearing and why Dani isn't there. Dani, because Todd and Blair told me to stay away. Destiny, since when do the D girls ever do what they are told.

With about a two minute hearing, the judge says the will appears to be fairly straight forward. The will is signed and notarized, it appears to be genuine. Therefore according to the terms of the will custody of Danielle Rayburn goes to Mr. Rayburn. Todds' lawyer gets up and argues that Todd is the biological father. The D girls are hiding in the back of the court. Judge agrees to hear Todds' lawyer. Ross stands up and says he has something that might clear things up. It's Dani's birth certificate naming Ross the father.

Eli calls Greg and wants to know why he isn't there. Greg tells him to relax you wouldn't want that blood pressure to spike, that could be fatal. If Greg stays gone to long and Eli really doesn't have a subdural hematoma, I would think he would be feeling better, so why would he let Greg operate on him? It could be Greg is giving Eli medicine to give him a headache too, but the hospital staff would have to give the medicine since Greg isn't there, and Eli is looking better. So I don't think that is the case. And we still don't know what Eli has on Greg. I wonder if Destiny is his daughter? That would be an interesting twist.

Starr confronts Langston and tells her she set Ford up just so she could get him fired. Langston says so what if I did. I think some of that Kramer if rubbing off on Langston.

Ford sits down at the park and kicks his box of stuff from the school he's been carrying around. Nate walks up.

Eli looking at a picture of Todd and Dani, says sorry Ross you might be getting custody of Danielle but you won't be seeing a lot of her. So now its looking like Eli used Ross too.
