Honestly, Austen is probably better off getting a clean break from Will.

You've seriously never heard of 60's icon Lesley Gore? "You Don't Own Me" is like a Baby Boomer anthem.

I was actually saving "My Humps" for Kendo's big reveal. It's just too perfect. Lol

Chapter 44 -When Travis wakes up and realizes that Will knows and he's very, very mad. "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton -When Travis is given some pills and goes back to sleep into sleepyland where everything is just one big fluffy cloud of fluffballs. "Sunshine, Lollipops, and Raindrops" by Lesley Gore -When Kendo thinks to himself what a great job he did at getting Travis hooked to drugs, and what a catch he is. "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas I've always thought of this song and video as doing a great job of representing pop culture music during the Dubya era. I guess we could call this Pre-Recession? -When Kendo drags Travis around Inglewood to keep him from withdrawal, and pawns Travis's beloved watch from Will. "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns n Roses

There's this extremely weird disappearance case from "your era", so to speak, of a UCLA freshman boy who walked out of his dorm at 4:00 a.m. in the morning in December of 1999 and was never seen again. His name was Michael Negrete. The main theory in the case is that he went on an acid trip, voluntarily left his dorm, and then got wandered around Los Angeles incapacitated for a bit until someone abducted him. Honestly, I got the impression that he was likely meeting up with some guy for a hook-up and wanted to do it while his roommate was asleep and he met with the wrong dude. Witnesses who lived in Dykstra Hall (where it happened) said they saw a 35-year old guy randomly walking around the dorm at the about the same time Michael disappeared. I mean, this would have been the time where you were making up hookup plans on like bulletin message boards. But yeah, I mean, if a A-honor roll student from a nice family could get swallowed up like that, it's hard to imagine what happens to the boys who aren't from the types of families that can send their kids to UCLA.

It occurred to me that this year's current college freshman class was actually born when Mark started writing CAP in 2008. Damn. This felt like the best thread to point this out in because I really had no idea that CAP would have the longevity of an actual soap opera. Lol Damn, 18 years.

Chapter 43 -When Jackson comforts Maya over her rape. "Run" by Snow Patrol -When Travis cracks. "Hurt" by Johnny Cash -When Will finds Kendo and Travis, gets gutted, but starts formulating a plan. "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers -When Will meets up with Jeff and decides to engage in some party n play in order to understand what he's up against. "Running Up That Hill" by Placebo

Eh, I get it. Dude aged exceptionally well. Reese Junior is getting a push in the gay media lately if you're wondering why I'm referencing him. Bizarrely they're trying to push the narrative that he looks like his dad when dude clearly has his Mommy's face.

You might like Reese Witherspoon Junior. Not that he looks like Young Leo, but if you're into the category of blond twinks and don't mind the pointy Witherspoon chin, he's not a bad entry at all.

Chapter 42 -When Will ruminates over Travis, feeling like he's losing him but still hoping that he can make things work on May 26th. "Where'd You Go?" by Fort Minor -When Travis mopes yet again about his life as a television star and tries to talk to Aaron about how the storyline is affecting him. "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter -When Travis takes the GHB and goes on a big fluffy cloud with Kendo driving the fluffy crowd train. "Message In A Bottle" by The Police You know, it's funny, despite being exactly the intended target for Leo Mania (I was 11 years old when Titanic debuted after I had already seen Romeo and Juliet) but Leo never did much for me. I preferred tall brunette guys like Josh Hartnett, Brendan Fehr, David Boreanaz, Joshua Jackson, and Ben Affleck.

Yeah, I forget the biggest rule of a soap opera is that once a couple gets their happily ever after, they're generally shipped off (Matt/Wade) or they drop down to recurring while they give out advice to the young couples (Stefan/JP.) Anyway, this is trending on Twitter, and it's making me laugh because Travis would probably see Zac as his competition. LOL I remember when Zac was held up as a child actor/teen idol who actually turned out normal with people citing his supportive family as why, and then it came out that he's also had several stints in rehab.

I'm trying to remember if Will ever really got to that stage with anybody, and I'm failing. He and Zach's slow breakup pretty much started after Zach began college. I'm laughing now as I say this, but when Travis was introduced, I really did think to myself, "Aww, Mark is finally giving Will a nice stable relationship instead of drama all the time."

Well, I adore Travis. There's nothing more fun than a neurotic television star. LOL

My Tiffany fancast Kristen Bell took a moment to remind us again why she's so fucking awesome. LOL

Unfortunately I think the likelihood of Will ever ending up with a nice, normal guy who isn't a neurotic mess is pretty much nil. Like his father, tortured blond jocks are Will's kryptonite. At one point a long time ago I think Mark considered writing Will a nice Mormon love interest but stopped because of how boring it was. Lol
