Blost.


Shut up and blog or I keel you man!

In a cave.

Cut off from human contact.

Listening to rock-n-roll from a bygone day.

Laboring over an antique workstation.

Weird shit is happening.

And worried that if I don’t enter something on my computer every 108-fucking-minutes something Very Bad will happen.

Is this the story arc for the new season Lost, or what happens to bloggers when they get a little too, um, “focused”?

I don’t know.

What I do know is I kinda dig the television show “Lost” especially now that it’s taken a sharp turn into science fiction. I’ve got a head for useless plot flotsam and narrative jetsam from all over spacetime, and I still can’t figure out where the writers are driving the story.

It’s got a little bit of a “Tunnel Under The World” tang to it. A full cup of clarified “Ubik” and “The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch”. A dash of the Original Twilight Zone pilot, smoked over “The Veldt” with strong “Job: A Comedy of Justice” top-notes.

Or is it “Mindkiller”?

Or a little gem from a very special, nearly-forgotten, mid-70’s, teevee movie stash, “The Haunts of the Very Rich”?

I don’t know, but it’s fun to guess, and to hope that they’re not on a weird-for-weird’s-sake ether frolic and writing themselves into a “Twin Peaks” corner from which there is only one escape: The last reel of “Apocalypse Now.”

What I also know is, I can finally rest for awhile.

Maybe 102 minutes or so.

Maybe have me one ‘a them “Apollo Bars” and try to see if I can accidentally catch Evangeline Lilly

stepping out of the shower.

Mmm.

Evangeline...radiating cool and tough and smart and sexy on all frequencies, and I’m just certain that if she put on a pair of glasses she could pull off that hot/nerdy thing against which I have no defenses.

Mmm.

Oh crap!

Now I only have 101 minutes.

I'm just glad you didn't post a photo of Jorge Garcia (aka Hugo "Hurley" Reyes) in the same pose.

"Haunts of the Very Rich"?

I thought I was the only one on the planet who remembered that weird little made-for-tv movie. "No Exit" at a Carribean resort, with Mike Nelson, Altaira and Ruth Popper. Giant fun.

Damn, driftglass, you're weakening my resolution.

Heh. I WISH my urges to blog were scheduled.

With me, it's:

o.o! <--- *sudden, startled, intense look*

"Someone, somewhere, is being an asshole!"

"I must post!"

O.O!

"NOW!!"

(for those of you who are curious, that's "Richard Cohen took a dump on the Op-Ed page," something I WANTED to write, but didn't. Yes, I recovered the key. The keyboard needs to be replaced, though.)

*sigh* I was hoping THE X-FILES syndrome (raise a ton of questions, raise some more, swear up and down you've planned it all out, answer 1/123,049,382,934 of 1,203,948 part of one question--then walk away shrugging your shoulders) would not come into play with this show. Shit like that burned me so bad, I've become aces at spotting when one of these kinds of shows is not going to fish or cut bait. Why can't these guys plan these longform dramas out better? Or at all?

Stealth Badger - lol!
"O.O. somewhere, someone is being an asshole - I must post!"

and post haste!

I know that feeling, unfortunately I don't have the acumen or verbal acuity to pull off what all ya'll do, especially that which the good dr.driftglass dispenses. (if drift were, say, jabba the hut, I'd probably be somewhere between that nasty little rat thing on his tail or that freaky ass blue tentacled head dude who get's gutted)

But i loves a good roast! so color me impressed.

And dagnabbit - now I'm distracted to find out more about this 'Lost' scene. One of the few sick days I'll take this year, a great opp to surf the HR/Job offering sites without having the boss looking in, and my brain just wants to surf for nekkid Evangeline pics. Must. Not. Slack. Focus. Resume. Focus. Evangeline... damn!

Evangeline has a part in that new Serenity movie. IT's a small part but it's in a form fitting spandex uniform- sort of an Erin Gray look about her- very nice indeed.

I hardly watch TV, especially between the World Series and spring training, so I can't comment on this. One I can comment on, though:

Late-breaking news:

Bush tries to pack Supreme Court.

Remember, you read it here first.

I understand why you feel that way, but I think JJ and Co. know what they're doing. They've said repeatedly that they know already *exactly* what all the major plot points are up to the series finale--why the plane crashed, why they're on the island, what the island IS etc. They've got the whole thing mapped out, it's the details that they work on week to week. They've also said that everything can be explained--they're not dead/in purgatory/in someone's dream etc. I think it's a genetics experiment gone wrong myself.

One thing I love about the new season is that the flashback scenes don't take up so much time. Plus, they don't dart around to all the characters, they concentrate on who the focus is that week. I'm still waiting to see Hurley in the psych ward with Leonard and why John was in a wheelchair, however.

I think the hatch and all its doings are what Jack hinted at: what if they put you down here just to see if you *would* push the button, as an experiment?

Oh and pish to Evangeline. Matthew Fox is the real hottie on the show.

Oh, and fuck the White Sox.

*wince* *grimace* Damm. That is going to be ug-leeeeeeeeee...:)

What will Lucy Liu and Rosario Dawson say when they find out they have even more competition in the poetic heart of Dr. Driftglass?

They will say, "Do you have a California King bed, patience, agile appendanges and a vivid imagination?"

And I will say, "As a matter of fact, yes! Yes I do!"

damn! that girls hot!

driftglass - You must have appreciated the "Fred" character on the old "Angel" series. My beloved spouse is susceptible to that "hot/nerdy thing", and he would sort of moan imperceptibly whenever Fred appeared. I'm a retired breeder myself, and dispassionately speaking, thought Fred was terrific when she was taken over by that ancient goddess,
Illyria.
Anyway, from the hetero female viewpoint, Sayid is the hottest of them all, IMHO!
I'm not thrilled with teh start of this new "Lost" season. Too glacial. Ancient pop music torture was kind of a fun touch, though.
Cheers!

Loved the early episodes of "Twin Peaks" with their otherworldly mystery and strange characters. It became more and more obvious that the writers were running out of places to go after it was revealed that Laura was killed by her father while under the influence of the evil alien Bob. I bugged out after the Colonel disappeared in a flash of light. Never did learn why "the owls are not what they seem."

You can't argue that evangeline lilly video is not one of the better actors on LOST plus she's easy on the eyes.
