Oh,look people-it's Sunday.If someone told me on the previous Monday (which was really sucky,btw) that I would make it to Sunday without anything unfortunate occuring on the way to Sunday actually bothering me,I'd slap them as hard as I could then run away.

I'll begin with anything I feel like talking about,right now at the top of my head are thoughts about this week's LOST episode.Wowee,is was so solid and intense allthroughout-when the final moment came I felt my heart skip a beat.So cliche-will try to not use that phrase ever again.Anyways,any Lost fans who haven't seen this week's should really skip this,major worth-waiting-for-ep-to-finish-download spoiler ahead.

Yes,don't doubt yourself-shoo piggies shoo.

Allright,Lost freakazoids gone?As anyone familiar with the show knows-like any other (arguably-because when it comes to tv,nothing's truly defined) good show on tv,every episode features a series of events that occur simultaneously-the show takes advantage of the time they have and manages to insert a set of different short stories,all different but they personally each contribute something significant to the moving plot.Well,this week's ep dealt with Sun's (she's the Korean hottie) family-related past and Charlie,Hugo,Desmond and Jin stumbling upon a girl whose helicopter had just exploded mid-air-her parachute still attached and her lung pierced with some kind of small splinter.So they all focus on getting her water and the best treatment they can find-some other less interesting things happen yada yada-then the girl finally regains conciousness and when this happens,only fat Hugo's by her side.

Girl Who Looks Like Rosario Dawson:Who are you?
Hugo:I'm Hugo Weres,from flight Oceanic 815-we crashed here 90 days ago.
GWLLRD:What?
Hugo:(Repeats information)
GWLLRD:That's impossible.
Hugo:No,we survived the crash and noone's found us since.
GWLLRD:That's impossible-Oceanic 815,the one from Sydney?
Hugo:Yeah.
GWLLRD:We found the plane.It crashed,we found the plane and there were no survivors.They all died.
Hugo:Omigawd,you're Rosario Dawson.

GASP.....OOOH TASTY TASTY...Oh yes,that last bit was made up.Anyone who loves the show as much as I do should check out the comments here-particularly the last comment (Matrix-comment)-it's really interesting and worth thinking about,although the mere mention of Matrix or so-called actor Keanu Reeves can be an instant turn-off.

If the first few eps of the season had fans pulling out their hair due to the slow-moving development and constant hinting but little and unsatisfying revealing process-the show's really starting to pick up and manages to do this without suddenly shocking us with some sort of irrational,exploitative and unbelievable storyline conjurred out of thin air.The characters are really beginning to come out from the dark and show their true selves-even then we doubt our expectations and feelings about them,because knowing how all of them on the island can be so unpredictably secretive and elusive about the truth-nothing's real unless it's actually said so in the show.Often nothing new is really brought in,it's often the case of revisiting what's been said and told-viewed from another position-like this week's it was how Jin's (Sun's hubbie) 'obligation' to Sun's father wasn't actually due to his poor family or unwealthy origins-but because of Sun's doing.And Sun,as nice and noble and selfless and motherly as she seems-there's something not quite right and doubtful everytime she smiles or sheds a tear.

Okay,my thoughts are moving dangerously at godspeed,I expect it's the tiny chocolate thingy I swallowed an hour ago,or maybe the fact that I'm currently reading 'Everything's Illuminated' (that book's bizzare-no other word would be more fitting to describe the wonderful weirdness of it)-shouldn't really blog now,but I thought I should post something up here just for fun.Got the CYHSY ticks and can't wait to go-four days afetr that will be seeing Jet,so it'll undoubtedly be a huge week for me.I had a huge dinner three hours ago,but like everything homemade and cooked by yours truly-hunger returns pretty quickly.I suspect it's that state-of-mind I sometimes have in restaurants or when eating out,the psychological satisfaction derived from having friends around and service spreads and forms some kind of long-lasting food-craving satisfaction too.Hurm,yes maybe.

Watched I am Sam on Channel 9 yesterday.I actually liked the movie the first time I watched it couple years back,and always wondered why the film was underecognized-but seeing it again I now notice why-the painful overacting (I respect Sean Penn,but he's just bloody awful here-and Michelle Pfeifer-I'm certain this part is mispelled-she doesn't do anything remotely unpredictable with her character-everything from the way she dresses to her mannerisms,it's all D-list acting meant for straight-to-video films)-all in all,a terrible mess of a film-especially when the plot seemed like it ceased from moving,only to again remind us how bloody retarded Sean Penn is (the first few times it did actually inspire sympathy,but by the 600th time it was like-dude,fuck the hell off screen please)-the only hope for this film is Dakota Fanning's performance.Yes,she's annoying,can be pretentious and is infamously overexposed (like Jude Law was at one time when he had a gazillion films coming out in one short period) but in I am Sam,she plays it low-key and doesn't try to be some adorable,compelling social case.

I've been having this crazy craving for Esteller's Nasi Pecel since Thursday,actually went there Friday night but they were closed so my final mission for the week would be to get Nasi Pecel.

Saw this peculiar survey result on Sbs-they asked viewers if HIV positive people should be allowed into Australia (if I'm not mistaken,they currently can't) or not-53% responded with a resounding NO.I understand their concerns that they will spread the disease (being realistic,some of the HIV positive people are probably reckless,irresponsible,emotionally unstable and destructive anyways-aside from the unwillingly infected by rape or something or those from poor,unfortunate countries like Africa and so on-evidently shown in recent cases where some of em go around town having unprotected sex) but I mean,c'mon-to demean and strip off their rights and self-worth so blatantly like that?I pity those people.

Monday,big bad Monday is coming this a-way.I'm gonna savour Sunday like an inmate does with his last meal before facing execution.

Life,at best-is a confusing dramadey.
