Random Thoughts on Lost

Don’t read if you haven’t seen the 2 hour premiere of Lost:

-I loved seeing Ana Lucia back…hilarious that she said, “Libby says hi”!
-Who initiated the request for a blood sample from Aaron and Kate?
-Does Sun blame Kate for Jin’s “death” and want revenge? She was hard to read.
-Sayid’s fight scene was really cool!
-Nice to see a short back story on Dr. Marvin Candle/ Pierre Chang.
-Who are these other group of people that look like they’re wearing WWII uniforms? How far back in time did they go? I figure they went back pretty far if they’re using flaming arrows instead of guns…the Others and Dharma Initiatives would have used guns.
-How dumb was Hurley to go back to his parent’s house?
-Who is Mrs. Hawkins (the hooded lady from the church basement and the lady from the pawn shop who sold the ring to Desmond)?
-Shirtless Sawyer….need I say more?!!
-Hurley pretty much sums up the whole show to his mother, but didn’t it sound really ridiculous when he told it?!! And yet, we still are hooked to this show.

Old TV Sitcoms

These days I’ve been watching old TV sitcoms while I’ve been pumping. It’s the only thing that’s been keeping me motivated to keep going and it wakes me up in the early morning b4 going to work. I’ve been watching all the episodes of The Brady Bunch, Full House, Three’s Company, All in the Family….all compliments of the local library. It’s nice to see these shows in order and understand the shows now that I’m older (like Three’s Company). Every once in awhile I’ll have Three’s Company on while Nathan is playing and he likes it whenever Jack Tripper falls down or knocks things over! He doesn’t understand the conversation, so I figure it’s safe to leave that on in front of him. It was sad to see the progression of Suzanne Somers leaving Three’s Company, see some of her lines going to the other actors and just seeing them film her part on the phone separately.

Dan also got me all the episodes of Seinfeld and Friends on my iPod, so it’s been keeping me entertained while pumping at work. I miss the corny and cheesy sitcoms from the 80’s and 90’s and the innocence back then (The Cosby Show was one of my favorite shows). Now everything is much grittier or filled with reality shows. I’ve been watching so much TV these days…..with watching these old shows on top of the new ones at night (like 24, American Idol, Lost, Fringe, Grey’s Anatomy, The Office, ER, How I Met Your Mother, etc.), I must have watched hundreds of hours of TV in the past few months! I really should cut back, but I just love TV. Maybe I love it so much because my parents tried to restrict me from watching too much TV….they even went so far as wrapping the TV cord around the TV stand and putting a lock on it! Of course one day I found the key and unlocked it….my sister and I thought we got away with it for awhile because we would watch it on low volume, wrap the cord around the stand and lock it back up. Wouldn’t you know my parents finally caught me because they felt the TV was warm!

Only 5 more weeks until I stop pumping and I’ll be watching a lot less TV….hopefully!
