LOST: The Finale

Spoiler alert, first of all. For the whole post. So here’s the thing. It’s not like I expected all these answers or anything, but I did expect something… else. The way I figure it (and no, I haven’t read anything people have posted online yet), there are only a few possible scenarios: It’s all in Jack’s head. Jack gets flung into the jungle of the island when flight 815 crashes, and dies shortly after the crash. In his head, he concocts this whole storyline – or it’s a test. When you’re about to die, it’s like purgatory kind of, and you have to pass some test or something like that to decide whether or not you get into heaven or hell or whatever. Jack’s test is to redeem himself by choosing to sacrifice himself to save others and how he can put other people first and that he can’t always “fix” things. Anyway, in the few minutes that he’s alive after crashing, all of this stuff happens, he passes the test by choosing to become the protector of the island and sacrifice himself. And then ...

Grey's Anatomy

It’s not often that I’m surprised by stuff I see on TV anymore. But the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy was awesome. I actually jumped in shock. Awesome. I don’t want to give anything away, so watch it if you haven’t already cause it’s freaking sweet. They must really have low numbers if they’re willing to shoot so many characters lol. What is it, LOST? Lol. I also love that the crazy shooter is the guy who used to be the head of the secret service on The West Wing.

American Psycho

This book is fucked up. I only made it about halfway through and I stopped reading, and here’s why. First of all, this guy bitches for more of the book (that I read anyway) about clothes and what belt goes with what and all that – very OCD, very crazy. And he hangs out with his douchey friends and he idolizes Donald Trump because it’s set in the 1980s. So then, the author starts describing the gross and very detailed sex that he has with random people. Yuck. Watching a sex scene in a movie is one thing, reading one in a book is another and it’s disgusting and makes me want to vomit. I don’t know how people read romances novels and don’t barf all over the place. I like the word barf. Anyway, so once you get past the gross sex scenes (using the word dilated in a sex scene is not sexy it’s gross), then he starts killing people. Which I would think would be cool and fun to read because serial killers are awesome, but unfortunately, the first killing scene is him killing a bum. No biggie, b...

Red Dead Redemption

Okay, so have you ever played Grand Theft Auto? Of course you have, because you’re alive. Everyone has played that game or at least watched someone else play it for hours on end. Anyway, so if you know about the game you know that you can steal cars and stuff and beat up hookers and all that. It’s super addictive and awesome – especially because you can change the radio station when you’re driving. Fun! Anyway, there’s this new game out called Red Dead Redemption and it’s just like Grand Theft Auto only set in the in west in the 1880s or so. So like, you’re a cowboy, Tombstone-style and you ride a horse and have a duster coat and hang out in saloon and beat up whores in brothels in stuff. It’s awesome. I would highly recommend it. Not that I have played it really, but it’s a blast to watch, and is more asthetically pleasing to watch – especially for history nerds like us! And there are stage coaches! It’s seriously awesome. Ch-ch-check it out.

Back to civilization

Things have been crazy for me for the past few weeks because I just started a new job, which is awesome, and is my first real ™ job and it’s very exciting. As a result, I haven’t really had time to do much of anything except be excited and work. Things are starting to calm down because I’m almost out of training, so I have things to talk about again. First off, Survivor is awesome this season. Amazing. I think they should put Russell on every season becasue he makes it fun and exciting to watch. Unfortunately, next season will be horrible and boring. It’s coming down to the end of the season and I know he probably won’t win (I can wish, though), so I’m hoping for Colby or Jerri or something. It’s awesome, though. It’s the show I get the most excited for. Including LOST. It’s a great show and it’s always been fun to watch, but with only a few episodes yet it’s starting to get both irritating and sad. Irritating because I know my questions won’t get answered and they are dragging out the...

The Back-Up Plan

Wow, this movie sucks. I really like Jennifer Lopez, especially in movies – okay, not in Gigli, but in The Wedding Planner and Monster-in-Law. But this one is the worst so far. There’s no real chemistry between the main characters, the plot is shotty at best and completely unrealistic and unbelievable, and the acting was even really horrible. Yikes. So go ahead and skip this one. Jennifer Lopez is good though, sometimes. She just needs to make sure the plot is funny enough and the supporting cast is actually decent and not just as bad as she is.

YES!

I was really sad because I don’t get either of the two channels that plays Golden Girls while I’m here in training, and then I discovered something awesome. letmewatchthis.com has links to youtube where people have posted tons of episodes!!! So now not only can I watch Golden Girls during my trip, but I can watch them in order and everything! Woo! It is a happy day. It’s a bit pathetic that I am so excited about this, but whatever. Something else that’s interesting: I think it might be impossible to find Sophia’s purse from the show online – is it possible that nobody has made a replica? If you happen upon a website that has any info about it, please let me know because I would love to have one!
