Watch This! Breeses Pieces Romance

I'm using my Kyoko from Skip Beat squeeing like an adorable fangirl icon for this post because it's a cute representation of how I felt when I watched the Bianca and Reese scenes for today's episode of All My Children. I was SO FUCKING SURE like the cynical lesbian I am that they would only get one more kiss and that's when they got married but ABC and All My Children decided to prove me wrong many times. Today they had what equated to a daytime soap make out session, a slow dance to romantic French music, and did more couch cuddling.

With the exception of Gabrielle's origins and the fallout it could have for Kinks relationship I'm really starting to love this storyline. Or at the very least the genuine commitment they seem to have for portraying Bianca and Reese as a real live romantic couple on the show. The chemistry is getting better with every scene between Eden Riegel and Tamara Braun and they excel in playing the cute. I'm also amused that one of the soap blogs/magazines dubbed the couple Breeses Pieces. Hence the post title. I'm also glad they addressed Zach's role in the baby's life and he's Uncle Zach. Not that I think it will help much when Kendall finds out exactly where she came from.

Here's a video of all their scenes from today's episode for the curious.

I'm still in the midst of my massive background check for the data processing job. Right now I'm dealing with the Defense Logistics Agency who apparently handle such things for the Department of Defense. It's all wacky. I should get my fingerprint card from them tomorrow in the snail mail and then I'll go up to St. Louis County Police Department and get my prints taken and send it along with yet more paperwork. Our government will drown in its own paperwork. Seriously.

In the meantime I've spent the past few days doing on and off volunteer work for the Obama campaign. Which is funny because it's weird preparation for the job I'm being super duper investigated for since I'll I've been doing is data entry on polling and such for them. I'll be helping in the late afternoon after I get done voting and hopefully getting fingerprinted also.

The reason I decided to volunteer was a lot of me just being sick of sitting around and then the fact that when I'm at my parents, Pip and Stacey's, Laura and Tracy's, or any of my friends house that I randomly crash at I'm besieged by annoying ass Republican robocalls. Rather than listen to them I decided to go help the Obama campaign and do my own meager part in battling their idiocy.

My favorite robocall came today when I got back from volunteering though. I don't listen to modern country music at all, I prefer old school Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and the like, so I have no idea who this chick is. But anyway, it goes, "Hi! I'm country music star Gretchen Wilson and I'm here to tell you why you should support the GOP in the upcoming election--" blah de blah.

Why the fuck do the Republicans think people in Missouri are retarded enough to be swayed by some random ass country singer? I don't even know who this lady is and the fact she announced herself to be a celebrity just pissed me off more. Honestly, I hate it when celebrities endorse politicians. They don't help. If anything they usually make the candidate lamer.

The one exception has been Stephen Colbert and Chuck Norris backing Mike Huckabee. That was pretty hilarious and cool but it would never make me vote for Huckabee. It just made me smile. But otherwise celebrity endorsements for politicians suck ass. Even if it's fucking Oprah doing it.

And I just looked at a picture of Gretchen Wilson... scary stuff. What the hell is going on with her eyebrows? They've been tweezed to all hell.



She's not hot enough to sway me on anything. To her fans, I apologize. I assume she has a decent voice but I won't ever know since the only genre of music I can honestly say I'm not a whore about is modern country. I much prefer the old school country music stars who sing about cheating husbands and murdering people. It's more wholesome, you see.

To be fair, her robocall was just mildly annoying though. There have been much nastier ones spouting the usual Palin drivel about a vote for Obama is a vote for what the terrorists want and he's a Socialist for wanting to provide equal opportunities and a decent life for the least of us in society. I can usually spot them in five seconds or less.

Ye gods, I can't wait for tomorrow to be over and for it be a happy ending for once.
