Lost

I liked this weeks episode of Lost, but we learned little other than the ID of the Smoke Monster. The A-bomb worked to create a separate timeline, but I'm not buying the 'everything would suck anyhow' storyline (not the case for the hundreds of dead, no?) . . .and that's that. Jack's broken, so this season will be about his redemption.

RIP Buddy

I hate to do three video posts in a row, but I cannot, in good conscience, fail to mark the anniversary of Buddy Holly's death. RIP Buddy. This world has been a crappier place without you these last 51 years.

A Big Night of TV

It's a huge night for TV. American Idol, Fringe, Dirty Jobs, the start of season 2 of Rupaul's Drag Race, a brand new Duggar episode, and of course my beloved Lost. It's a shame I'm in such a deep, dark depressive funk or this just might rank as one of the greatest nights EVAH.

Family Night

Bumped Family Night up a day this wk.

L supervised homework & worked on valentines cards w/ the kids while I made mock chicken legs and mashed potatoes (ckn breast for me and L).

Then, after dishes, L played scrabble w/ YaYa, while Smiley & I played memory & watched Wizards of Waverly Place w/ LuLu. Then Ginger went and rubbed blue toothpaste all over the bathroom and herself, so we cleaned her up and sent her to bed.

P.S. **** Tune in to NBC tonight @ 1235am ET to catch NKOTB performing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon! Check local listings for more info.****

You Know . . .

 I kinda dig the smell of skunk - from a distance. We drove by a skunk spray the other day and I mentioned this to Lisa. She said nothing for a moment and then quietly said "You know, there are a lot of things wrong with you."

Season Premiere

Watching the season premiere of the Duggars on "19 Kids and Counting" and juggling my DVR schedule to accommodate the return of Lost.

Just finished polishing a piece I wrote, went to send it and the word processor crashed. Now, no trace of the file remains - no file, no anything. It's like someone took an eraser to it. F**k.

Ghost of Girlfriends Past

Came home from work and watched 'Ghost of Girlfriends Past' w/ Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Lacey Chabert and Michael Douglas. MUCH better than I feared. It's a fun romantic comedy and very enjoyable. Well worth the rental.

Our Oven

Lousy day, lousy mood. Among other things our oven now refuses to heat up. Sha-it.

 Now my oven isn't working, because I needed just one more fricken thing! ugh! - Lisa

Charlie Brooker - How to Report the News

Just to tie in with my recent rant about television news: watch this Youtube video. In less than two minutes time the cliched structure of any and all TV reporting is identified and skewered. It's more sad than funny, when you think of how many people
gobble up TV news as their primary source of information.
