genghis khan, gh

[fearlesstemp]

The internet is such a black hole. It swallows up my good intentions and academic drive to succeed. I came here for the specific purpose of digging up gossip about Genghis Khan, and yet somehow I find myself sitting here forty minutes later, typing up an LJ entry, after spending ten minutes desperately searching out General Hospital spoilers (after spending twenty minutes reading a variety of threads on TWoP, and checking my flist, and reading Dwight Schrute's blog), and do I have any new gossip about Genghis Khan? No! No, I do not!

Old gossip about Genghis Khan: I watched his A&E Biography yesterday, and it strongly implied that he and the head of another clan were an item. The Biography special didn't say it straight out, of course; Dramatic Intonation Guy said, "'Genghis and [Other Clan Leader] were said to be great friends, closer than brothers. They slept together in the same bed for one and a half years, making Genghis's wife jealous.' - The Secret History of the Mongols."

It ended like so many love stories do: With one taking over a good chunk of Eurasia, and the other being brought before him to be executed. Genghis, the old softy, had to leave the room while his old pal was being killed. A shocking show of sentimentality, considering he killed his brother over a fish when he was thirteen or so.

ENOUGH ABOUT GENGHIS KHAN!

I really think it's important that more people watch General Hospital and talk to me about how adorable Patrick and Robin are. I don't know why I find them so cute, but I do. I want them to bicker and fight viruses together and I want one of them to fall victim to the man-made mutant strain of encephalitis (these are all words that have often been used on GH recently), and I want the other to stand by all nervous, and wonder Why He/She Did Not Realize How Much He/She Mattered. Is that so much to ask? Is it? I'm being forced to watch Emily pant after Sonny! Give me something, GH! I've given you almost eleven years of uninterrupted viewing! Have you no reciprocal loyalty?

All right, now I am intrigued about Genghis and his torrid gay affair. But onto GH:

What do you think of the newest Carly? I stopped watching after TB left and cannot bring myself to go back. (They murdered my OTP, damn it.)

Who is Danny? Lucky's partner?

If Sam turns out to be Alexis's daughter, that means both mother and daughter were at one time impregnated with the Spawn of Sonny. Gross.

Carly and Jax raising Courtney's baby does sound cute, but isn't Nikolas the father?

There's a MMMSOE in town and Emily doesn't die? Where is the justice?

I actually like the newest Carly a lot! I don't know if I like her as much as I liked TB or SB, but she's pretty good. Not as bad as the Carly that immediately preceded her, at least. I'm looking forward to the baby-raising story because think she's got good chemistry with Jax (I think TB had good chemistry with him, too. She had good chemistry with everyone - I found an old tape the other day with a Zander/Carly scene on it. I totally forgot that they had an almost-romance-thing!).

Danny is Sam's developmentally disabled younger brother, who pops up from time to time so that Sam can have something to do other than stare tearfully at Jason. He's totally a redshirt in the MMMSOE story.

And I think you're right about Nikolas being the father of Courtney's baby, now that you mention it. When did Jax become so baby-obsessed? What is up with that? Isn't he a billionaire? Couldn't he hire a harem of women to have his children?

Somehow I missed this comment long ago. Jax became baby-obsessed after Brenda damaged him for life! He said goodbye to his days as a playboy and became focused on True Luv, complete with babies!

I would totally like to see Jax with a harem, though. You know they would all look like Brenda.
