Lost Season 1 Post MortemFirst, I must get this out…WHAT THE HELL IS IN THE HATCH?!?The show won me over. It’s fun. A whole lotta’ fun. In the long run though… I dunno. The biggest appeal of the series seems to be that it combines the operatic arc of a melodrama (character development wise) and [...]
Lost Season 1Holy crap.So Boone is… He’s really…Ack.I thought there was some kind of unspoken rule about things you don’t do to main characters in the first season… Heck, I thought it was because of rules like that that television was inferior to film and literature. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn…

Too Much Guitar HeroI had some bizarre dream today where I was walking around in what seemed to be an area of my home town, Edmonton. It was at a McDonald’s that was sitting on the other side of a parking lot for Beaumaris shopping mall, and I had my Guitar Hero controller slapped [...]
The Boring MondayThe Wife stayed home today and so we did our own separate work, I had a minor breakthrough in Guitar Hero managing to survive halfway into Ozzy Osbourne’s Bark At The Moon, and then we played more Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga. The sequel lies on a table, patiently being [...]
