Nothing Much to Say

Well, I really don't have much to say. I just thought it I may as well use the computer to post something to the blog tonight.

Don't have much to say about As the World Turns, other than that Alison and Aaron sleeping together was something I saw coming. Afterall, both had just been dumped. And although they have had little contact lately, Alison has been able to revive her friendship with Aaron. The (situational) irony, of course, is that when Alison wanted Aaron, she couldn't have him. Now that she is in love with Chris, she sleeps with Aaron. Aaron and Alison see each other as friends only. Yet now they have "made love." Not too long ago Alison had unprotected sex with Chris. A couple of days ago she had (presumably) unprotected sex with Aaron. Gee, I wonder what happens next?

The funny thing is, I think that Aaron and Alison would have been a better couple than Aaron & Lucy and Alison & Chris. I realize that I am in the minority here, but Alison and Chris are not all that interesting to me. He is way too old for her and has a past with her sister/mom Emily. And, as I've said before, Lucy and Aaron's chemistry leaves a lot to be desired. There is no spark there. But ATWT couldn't resist having the rebel and the rich girl fall for each other. It would seem that wild child Alison and edgy Aaron would have more in common with each other than with their supposed soul mates. It would be refreshing to have Aaron and Alison get together, but I doubt that will happen. Instead, viewers may have to endure another "We Could Be Having A Baby Together But We're In Love With Other People" story similar to the Carly/Jack/Mike/Molly saga that ended earlier this year. Please don't do this to the viewers, ATWT. Please.

In other stuff to fill up this post: I must thank whoever is cleaning up my template so that the buttons on the sidebar line up nicely. Just about every time I mess around with the template that things get out of place. So to the person or mechanism responsibe for making Pila Posts look good, many sincere thanks.

I think I am just way too lazy to be a good blogger. I just do not have the time or the inclination to add links to the sidebar or to become someone who explores the blogosphere with authority and abandon. I will try to add links here and there. But even the idea of reading countless blogs and linking back to them is exhausting. Who can do that? Well, obviously lots of people do exactly that. Oh, how I envy them.

One thing I will try to avoid is putting a lot of the usual suspects in the sidebar. You won't find links to Kausfiles, Andrew Sullivan, Glenn Reynolds, et al. here. Nothing against any of them. It is just that there is no need for links to them from Pila Posts when so many other blogs are already doing them the favor. I am probably violating some cardinal rule of blogging by breaking the chain or something. But if I am going to take time to read other blogs and link to them in the sidebar, that space is going to be reserved for things I think may not be easy to find elsewhere.

Maybe Pila Posts and Bambino's Curse and lots of others operate on the fringes of the blogosphere. We're here, but not in the thick of things, perhaps. And that is quite all right with me.
