Today's The Month What My Journal Was Born In flashback: I learned my recappin' in a hard school, y'all. For about three months, I wrote daily Days of Our Lives recaps. And then, between my class schedule changing and the show being on every weekday, I burnt out. BUT THE LESSONS I LEARNED STAYED WITH ME FOREVER. And as soon as I figure out what

Whoa, and this was four years ago? I used to watch DOOL in the mid-90's, but stopped right around when Marlena became possessed by Satan and was torching Christmas tree lots. I really think I stopped just when the show was getting good. Nice to know that the Crazy Train kept chugging away.

Yeah, I was recapping during the ballyhooed Salem Stalker/Bizarro Salem storyline. Sadly, I think Crazy Jan was my favorite part.

Salem Stalker really was a high point in Days history. It was brilliant. I think it ended piss-poorly, but eh, what did we expect?

[cleolinda]

The only time I watched this show was when my college roommates watched it, and it was during this time exactly -- oh, the memories!

Never did watch DOOL but I was raised on As The World Turns.

Wait I don't get it...is it always like this??

I was a GH addict for a while too, back in the glory days of Sonny and the original Carly.

Really? All of them??

I wish they'd do something like that on Eastenders. I would love to see Dot Cotton do the whole voodoo-doll-man-in-a-cage thing.

That would wake up the viewers...or possibly kill them all. Either way works for me.
