My return to The News Herald as an intern for another semester involved a fiery mix of drama, intrigue, betrayal and lust.

Because Dave Komer wouldn't stop talking about soap operas all day and how upset he was that OLTL (One Life to Live) was getting cancelled.

Apparently Dave was quite the daytime junky back in the day, listing off all of "his stories" that he used to follow religiously. He said that right around that 4 o'clock hour when his soaps would end and he would start feeling bored, Oprah came on and saved his attention.

The only soap operas I remember watching were the classic episodes of Days of Our Lives my babysitter made me watch when I was six. The golden episodes where Marlena was posessed by the devil and had to wear sunglasses to cover up her creepy demon eyes.

Apparently she was the only soap character ever to undergo posession. I can't imagine why, it's such a solid storyline. Completely Believable.

Like sands in the hourglass, so are the days of our bleh.

Will I survive this semester? Will I graduate? What about my evil twin brother who's plotting against me from the far shores of Costa Rica?

Tune in next time.
