In Which A Soap Gets Meta
Mrs. M is a follower of General Hospital, and I happen to be sitting in the living room, so I’m getting a dose of today’s episode. I was somewhat taken aback when two of the characters appeared in Halloween costumes as… … Continue reading

Here’s Something You Don’t Hear Everyday…
