What's On TV?
I've become completely obsessed with the TV show Lost. Before, I just sorta didn't care. A show about the survivors of a plane crash stranded on an island? It sounded like a grittier version of Gilligan's Island. But then, one day, I decided to download the first episode (sue me, it's not like the show is on DVD yet). It was good. There was even the mystery of some dangerous beastie roaming the island.

Then, out of curiosity, I downloaded the second and third episodes... followed by every episode up until last Wednesday's. What the f*ck?! Apparently, the island itself is evil. There's a guy who might be evil, but we're really not sure. There's also that black kid who's "different" and the Korean chick who pretends she can't speak English. And I can't forget the kind-hearted fat guy. It's a giant mystery wrapped around itself, and I can't help but keep watching. Will they ever get off the island? Will they survive the horrors deep within the jungle? What the hell is the beastie that's been chasing them down? What's up with Claire's baby? How exactly do 50 people survive a plane crash where their section of the plane cartwheeled into the jungle and completely shattered beyond recognition... with the survivors having only a few scratches each? And believe me, the characters themselves addressed that last question in one episode.

Moving on...

NBC is making an American adaptation of The Office, a BBC comedy about a crazed office at a paper company in the UK. The original British version was funny, but will the American version live up to the hype? Or will it fail like the American versions of Coupling and Red Dwarf?

Meanwhile, in my life, I just got a call from someone at Macy's Department Stores. Apparently, I have a job interview on Monday. Celebrate with me. Yay! Okay, that's enough celebrating. A job interview meant I had to go shopping for new, more professional clothes. I managed to fake nice clothes when I interviewed for my first job, using black jeans, my button-up bowler shirt, and some Lugz. Nobody at that place followed a dress code. This time, I had to actually go shopping.

I don't think you understand how much I hate shopping, especially on weekends. I can handle going to the mall Monday-Thursday before 3pm, but that's really about it. People have a habit of turning evil once the mall actually gets busy.

Much Love
