Monday: The Good-byes Within

The Frame:

The program "America" is on. The setting is a beautiful house on a tree - lined
street in Chicago, Illinois. Coffee is brewing.

I am trying to get settled in one room where I want to view the show.

The cat is battling me for the chair.

I am going up and down the hallways and rooms to check on the coffee
and watch the program in many rooms of the house.

I almost feel as if I am in a mansion.

Today, all the minor characters are given the limelight. The protagonists all
seem to have minor story - lines today.

I did watch the next to last episode, because I ventured out!

Yes, just once, for now! I ended up in strange towns that day (Friday), but it
was nice to connect to those places again. Sometimes, traveling through other
places assures the continuity to life, or to the pace of life.

Okay, so now the main characters have just entered the scene.
Her child is now walking, so that shows the passage of time.
He is with the daddy. I think they are going to coerce her to return to Brazil.
The baby is to stay with the dad, possibly. This is tough, because of the
bond she has to the baby and to the dad. She is illegal, so that's why.

If she stays in jail, then she can still visit. If she is forced to return
to South America, then she can only stay in touch through letters or (how about?)
skype. That would be the new alternate ways to keep families together.
If only, she had married someone who was a citizen, but then again, she couldn't have had the child and all. Well, more on this as the show ends...

It ends today. If they leave us all hanging, that would be weird. Unless of course, there is the chance that there will be a sequel out someday. Maybe even on Fan - Fiction or other such addendum - oriented page?

"!Loco por ti America, Loco por tus amores!" That's how the theme plays between commercials. I wonder if they will play a fuller length at the end or even another song entirely.

The cat is following me everywhere. Up,down, all the way around, around, and around.
He still wants the chair.

(SPOILER: I do know from somewhere on the internet that the main characters are going to meet at the end, but only as friends. I guess this show had previously, and so is a re - run.)

That is an unreal ending in most other telenovelas, because it is almost always a fairy-tale ending. In this case,...wait, it looks like the new guy & the father of the child is leaving for Brazil is going too...so that resolves that matter.

At least, I know what the ending is...whew! Now I know that I won't have to find an obscure telenovela board to see what the ending was.

Like that one time when I was watching the Mujer en el espejo and I missed two weeks of it, including the ending...and I asked...

Wait! Tiao and Sol are talking now...they met..but they are only saying goodbye, see you later..."buena suerte" and all that....

...and so I asked like every "Grandma" and kid in town and everyone I met....and no one had ever heard about "La Mujer en el Espejo." It feels like you have part of the story in your memory, but not all of it....

Credits and ending rolling now...well, a little bit more of the song...

I blame the town of Chicago (certain people) for not being able to follow the story as a result of lies about me. I do see recap boards once in a while, but I still haven't seen any written entries on L.M.E.E.E.

At least, I got to watch one ending...just one...although I have missed many endings due to work and family viewing habits.

It's like someone takes away a library book from you right as you are supposed to find out about an ending...how rude, right?!

After a while, it does traumatize you!!!

Bye "America"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, I created a new page for Dr. Who fans. This is to compensate for having to say good - bye to previous doctors from the past.

The cat is now on my lap...a happy compromise to the fight over the chair. I think that he thinks that he doesn't stay with me, I will disappear.
