Like sands through the hour glass...

So are the days of our lives....

I have a horrible addiction, to Days of Our Lives. Yes, I am talking about the corny NBC soap opera. I got it bad too. When I was in college I used to schedule my classes around it. Then when I was in grad school- taped it on the VCR. I have gone through phases where I haven't watched for a couple of years, but I always go back. And I have no idea why. I thought I had finally beat the addiction; I hadn't followed it for 3 or 4 years when I got this desk job. I found myself so incredibly bored that I bought a radio to listen to. It happened to be a weather radio that picks up the local network affiliate channels. One day, as I was sitting at my desk trying to find something on NPR to listen to, I checked out the network radio channels-And what do you know, there is was, Days of Our Lives. Most days since then, I am tuning in to see, er, listen to what is happening in the lives of the Horton's, the Brady's and the DiMera's. What can I say? It helps pass the time, and besides, reality is a bitch these days.
