I’m going to have to agree with Herman on tonight’s Lost. It just wasn’t all there. I’m not sure – maybe I just wasn’t paying the right amount of attention. Maybe I just wasn’t “in” to it tonight. I don’t know. I like to think that it’s rare that they produce a weak episode, but it seems like they actually did this time. It was disjointed. It had bad edits. It was a little too elusive and symbolic. For a show that billed itself as revealing three of the greatest mysteries of the show… it just didn’t deliver.
Today I became quite fascinated by the Twingley Blogosphere Screensaver (I lost the link and I’m too lazy to go look it up – Google it, gang). The Twingley Blogosphere Screensaver gives you that spooky feeling you used to get when you first hooked up a Hayes 300 baud Smartmodem to jack into the rest of the planet. It’s that feeling where the entire world was at your fingertips.
Tonight I’ve been listening to Macbreak Weekly and watching the screensaver roll. Interestingly enough, now that it’s nighttime in the states, you can see the activity blooming like mad. It’s beautiful to watch… and if you were able to watch the waves from space, I’d imagine it would look something like that.
So Lost re-premiered tonight with quite a bang. There was a guy on a table with an open back… who woke up during surgery and was conscious enough to still play the Others game of dirty pool. There was a gunfight/footrace through the jungle. There was brainwashing. There was a boat. There was love and loss. It had it all. Welcome back to Lost, the best show ever written for TV. I’m glad you’re back.
One of the neat things about this 80gb iPod that TaiTai got me for Christmas is… well, the ability to pull down almost my entire library of music.
This has led to a re-enjoying of music that I haven’t listed to in about 20 years. Great stuff.
Today’s selection… Throwing Muses/Red Heaven. Long time, no listen.
I’m on the way home, btw. I’m sitting at DCA, blowing time before jumping on the plane. Lovin it.
Apparently my dreams are shattered. Zhang Ziyi isn’t into fat, balding, married men after all.
I cry now.
In other news, this is just what the doctor ordered to give Linux a swift kick in the arse.
It’s funny to know that for the first time in my life, I’m setting foot in a state that I’ve often written stories about.
Tonight I arrived in the D.C./northern Virginia area. My hotel is in Alexandria, VA, so I had to jump on the Metro and ride out to there. Unfortunately, I missed my stop and had to turn around and come back up one station.
Then comes the walk. The hotel was actually two blocks away from the Metro station, but I accidentally took a wrong turn and walked about 7 blocks in the wrong direction. Let me tell you – making a walk in the wrong direction in 30’F weather with a brisk wind SUCKS.
File this one under “funky, extremely sexy song that doesn’t last far long enough”… “Love Set me Free” by Roberto Sol. Find it. Buy it. Hot. The kind of stuff to make love to. Yum.
Everyone knew it was sorta in work, but CNN starts the new year off right by proclaiming that Indiana Jones 4 is scheduled to start filming in 2007… for real!
Only a day into the new year and I’m already looking forward to 2008. I can hardly wait to see what other news comes out of this… and the people who try to sneak onto the set, steal script details, etc… har har… can’t wait!
Well, tonight is another night for that New Year’s thing. First off, let me say… Happy 2007!
Today we ate/socialized with Whitey and Vo0 at Cheeburger Cheeburger in Providence. Funtastic time! Thanks for the Christmas gift, guys! I can hardly wait to play it! I’m glad you guys are back in town and enjoying it so far. This town has become so much more interesting lately – and it’s only getting better. Besides, you’re just keeping with the trend of everyone moving away… then coming back… heh.
