Something New…

Tonight I’m trying something new to me. Windows Live Writer. It’s supposed to be a blogger tool and I should be able to do my dirty work in the program then send it off to the blog. We’ll see how well it works here in a few minutes.

I haven’t posted for a few days because I had to watch every episode of “Lost” in a few days time so I would be ready for the last episode. I was brain dead for a couple of days from watching so many episodes and suffering through many emotional occurrences with the various characters. Those folks had a lot of silly shit to deal with in a few months time.

Seriously….people blowing themselves up, folks dying and then some Doppleganger coming back in the person’s image and screwing around with the characters that were still alive, a  black carbon monoxide cloud chasing folks through the jungle and beating them like cheap piñatas against trees and rocks (I swear I saw candy falling out of one of the smoke monster’s victims), shooting each other, stabbing each other, a couple of the female and male characters screwing everything that moved as long as it was an Alpha-type character (*ahem* Kate), a devious little bug-eyed not-out-of –the-closet-yet homosexual flitting about the island spreading dissent and having people kidnapped or killed….I mean, DAMN!!!!!

All that plus more drama, heavy breathing (Jack) through much of the dialogue, and God knows what all else I’ve forgotten to mention. Watching everything from the pilot episode all the way to Season 6, Episode 15, just about did me in mentally…yet I couldn’t take my eyes off of the spectacle…

Don’t get me wrong, I really liked the series and I’m truly bummed it will all be ending in a few days. Seeing the episodes back to back over a few days time may have not been a clever idea. There was one day in particular that I had a low blood sugar episode creep up on me and I actually thought I was involved in some whacky Lost-type conspiracy here at my Aunt and Uncle’s home.

I had nodded of with my head phones on and I guess I was letting the ongoing adventure twist my sleeping mind into a fritzy mess. I didn’t realize my blood sugar was low when I first woke up. My first thoughts were to figure out how I was going to escape and get to the haunted house I work at where I would be safe from my captors and I wouldn’t be tortured anymore…WTF!?!?!?

That line of thought lasted a few panic-filled seconds before I realized I had been asleep and had heard the current episode playing on the head phones. That and being pretty dang low on my blood sugar count had left me a bit confused upon waking up from my fitful slumber. I was fine once I got some juice in my carcass and fiddled with my dog, Roxy, for a while.

I got a good chuckle out of the freakish show I had playing in my noggin.

*Sigh* It will be the end of an entertaining and confusing epic in a couple more nights. I honestly don’t see anything on the horizon that will keep me quite so mesmerized.

…at least not yet.

Many thanks and best wishes to Jeffrey Lieber and everyone else who was involved with bringing us the series. I can’t even begin to imagine how much work went into the production. All of you should be commended and given extra rations for the massive effort involved!
