Lost LostBlogging

Well, I lost a post I wrote about Lost somewhere in the last couple of days. Bummer.

Anyway, I caught up on the first three episodes, and I like it so far. It's unrealistic, but that's sort of the point; the show is interesting to me because it's about allegory and psychology and mystery. There's danger in that kind of narrative unraveling as things get "explained," but so far so good (e.g. w/the bear cages).

Also, loved the (highly unrealistic) shout out to the HC in Locke's dope-plantation flashback. Also also liking the new strong female leads among the others (including Trixie from Deadwood!).

Yeah, my other post was a little more substantive. What are ya gonna do?

So Much To Say

I've got to catch up; there's a lot to blog about:

  • A week of Chapter Three
  • A week until the election and what that's all about
  • From inside the mind: dusting off old philosophies, and also paralyzed by babes (discussions of a pattern)
  • House news: gimpy Sixto, new loft bed, Zya returns
  • Older stuff: Robin's band's show, Frank and Laura's wedding, etc etc etc
  • Anyway, I'll probably never write it all, but I'll try. Lately I've been reading this Kesey book, Demon Box, which is interesting. It's stuff he wrote all after the Electric Kool-Aid heyday, from when he was on his family's farm in Pleasant Hill, Oregon. It's resonating with my home-building/nesting vibe. Still trying to find my groove out here, but getting closer all the time I think.

Dixie Chicks Ad Banned from NBC

Click and see. The fact that this sort of thing is not allowed makes no sense to me. I mean, the ads for Fahrenheit 9/11 were much more disparaging to Boosh.

Can't wait for the networks to stop mattering.

Last Day To Contribute

Today's the last day that a contribution to a candidate running for office will make any real difference. If you've been thinking about kicking down, now's the time, and even $20 can help.

Last night I went out with my partners for a Larrupin' dinner, and this morning I dropped the same amount on Jerry McNnerney who's down South, a PhD in Math, a Wind-Power expert and running against greasy-oilman Dick Pombo. That $200 contribution (ouch!) is enough to get me on the FEC's lists. Yeehaw.
