Today I learned...

serafina20That the reason you start to stink when you sweat once you hit your teen years is because when you eat junk food as a kid, it stores up in your fatty tissue and then gets released. And that's why you stink.
You also get acne because you eat junk food. Some teenagers have beautiful skin. That's because they don't ever eat junk.
You get wrinkles when you're old because you drink soda instead of water. Your skin dries out, you see, and that causes your skin to wrinkle. People who drink water don't even need to use moisturizer becuase they take good care of themselves.
All parents, no matter what, are counting the day until you turn eighteen so they can kick you out. They live for this. They dream of this. They are excited for it to happen and can't wait. The moment you turn 18, you are out of the house.
I also learned that Drug Education for sixth graders? Is a load of hot, smelly crap. And I got to sit through 2 sessions of it. I just about killed someone. The deputy.
I can see that Lex may have sent somone in to stab Lionel in order to prove that he had just as much power as Lionel do. But I'm still not sold on the theory. I dont' know why, and I don't think it's because I dont' want Lex to have done it. I think it's fine, in some ways; he's fighting back, being proactive, and proving to his father that, yes, all his lessons did teach Lex something.
I don't quite see how being stabbed would move Lionel up on the transplant list, but I think he was stabbed too high for it to be an issue. He did recieve too many visitors in his private cell for it really to make sense to do it so he could see Trent alone.
I'm interested to know if Lionel really did set the bomb for Chloe. I loved the it last week when Lois suggested he didn't and the reasons why, which raises the question, who would?
I'm torn on the idea that it could be Morgan a. because I dont' want Bergin to play him again, but mostly because I can understand why he might have Lionel stabbed, but I don't see why he'd go after Chloe (unless it was to protect himself, which just occured to me. If he is alive, he'd be under as much fire as Lionel in this). I think he might want to get Lionel out of the way, because with Lionel gone, Morgan woudl be safe. He does have a new face, after all.
He and Helen could have conceiably tried to take out both the Luthors, Helen by poision and Morgan with the stabbing, but it also makes sense for Lionel to have done it for whatever the liver thing was somone said. And a part of me thinks that if Morgan had gone after Lionel, Lionel would be dead. But, at te same time, ig et the impression that Morgan isn't quite as together as lionel, so maybe not.
Well, that's all my thoughts. Maybe more will come, we'll see. I can't wait for next week, eevn thought it looks weird and silly.

Date: 2004-09-30 07:43 pm (UTC)Part of the 6th grade curriculum is an anti-drug program delivered, mostly, by a deputy from the sheriff's office. Today's lesson was on setting goals and making good choices. She started takling about making healthy choices, and said all that crap in the pursuit of trying to convince them to eat healthier. It really rankled me to have to hear the BS she was saying.
Couldn't Lex have set the bomb?
I think he said that they (him and General Lane) discovered the bomb or the trigger after the fact, and then rushed Chloe and Gabe out without warning. HOwever, Lex having set the bomb makes more sense, so now I"m not sure.

Date: 2004-09-30 09:49 pm (UTC)Did the deputy tell you and the students that (plus all the other crap)? Good grief. The reason you stink when you sweat once you hit puberty is to attract a mate. You have to find someone who likes your particular stink.
I can understand why he might have Lionel stabbed, but I don't see why he'd go after Chloe (unless it was to protect himself, which just occured to me.

At first, I thought it was Lex, which is what I think we were supposed to think. But now I'm kind of on the Morgan side. Maybe they can find someone better to play him next time. After he gets yet another new, and hopefully better-looking, face.
Re next week, I'm not sure about it. I hope it's better than the promo. That was one stupid promo, imo.

I'm hoping that the episode isn't a comedy or farce. I have a feeling that there's some sort of beauty salon or something that opens in town, gives out "free" or reduced make-overs that use Kryptonite and get the girls addicted. Then they go krypto-crazy. Optional plan to make them make-up zombies is, of coruse, possible. While the story may not be new, if it's done right, I'll be fine with it. But I dont buy the way theyr'e promoting it now, like all of the sudden Lois and Lana are obsessed with their looks.
I'd really like a story line in which Chloe is the only one who doesn't get a make-over because she's trying to resettle in, and then, for various reasons, she's reluctant to investigate because she's twice-shy.
Did the deputy tell you and the students that (plus all the other crap)?
Yup.
You have to find someone who likes your particular stink.
I once dated a guy who stank to high heaven and, until I eralzied what an ass he was, it never boterhred me. No one else ever got it, but I was kind of attracted to it. Sick, but maybe there was some merit to it.
