Erm, if you don't have digital (satalite, or terrestrial) or cable here in the UK than you only get 4 channels (5 if you're lucky enough to live near a transmitter that'll give you Channel 5, or "Five" as it's now called) - so think yourself lucky to live in the land of many crappy tv channels... Anyway, another "soap" (that is but isn't) starts again this friday here in the UK. Yep, Big Brother 6!

I used to like the Bold and The Beautiful...but it just went down hill I think. Yea I refer to Desperate Housewives as "the new sex & the city"too. It's just like it.

In soap related news, I just read a great book. It's a memoir by Rachel DeWoskin, who now teaches poetry at Boston University, but who used to be a star in the Chinese soap opera "Foreign Babes in Beijing" (which is also the title of the book). It's a really intelligent book about negotiating between Chinese and Euro/American cultures and about how soaps exist between them. I reccomend it.

And perhaps you don't know this soap, but a year ago, I always watched " Thuis " in English( "HOME") But now it's quite boring...
