The holiday season is here, and xmas is just around the corner (or Hanukkah, Kwanza, or whatever) children are anxiously awaiting christmas morning to unwrap their presents and celebrate this blessed (consumer driven) holiday... There's laughter, and people spreading cheer........ But before many of us can enjoy The holiday season, we get Finals! yay!..... a season ridden with amphetimine popping, sleep deprevation, tears, and insanity....just doesn't have the same ring does it? Didn't think so...
So in true college fashion, I've been awake for 36 hours, and am about to continue my studying...but not before I do every other possible thing that could prolong my procrastination... I've reorganized my dvd's, divided all my notes, calculated all my grades (i.e what I need to get on these finals to assure a happy holiday season at home), spent time facebooking, youtubing, widgetting (you mac users out there should understand this new verb)....anything to avoid studying. So now I'm blogging....Not that its my last choice, but I now have something meaningful to say......well whether or not it's meaningful is probably debatable, but I have something to say.......But I just forgot what it was....damnitt.
Oh no I didn't... last night, while procrastinating, I spent a good 3 hours on youtube and google video making sure I did everything in my power to see every single promo for the new season of lost, over and over and over again.... It wasn't a total waste of time, the emotional satisfaction of recieving even the tiniest look into season four is well worth the loss of valuable studying and sleeping (who am I kidding...) hours.
There's one of the better ones... There are a handful of official promo's out there...and boy am I getting excited.... Of course there's only one thing that has the power to kill my excitement.... and that thing my friends (not that anyone reads this)..... is the AMPTP, yup the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers..... or as I like to call them. Selfish Asshole Media conglomerates Fucking up my Precious Television routine by refusing to Pay those who deserve credit for their work.... hey look at that I got all the letters in there, and my title seems more fitting... however selfish some of its concerns may be. Anyhow....the strike? yea, that sucks...
But what sucks even more is the possibility of getting left with a cliffhanger after the 8th filmed episode of LOST airs.... I believe Damon Lindelof said it would be just as shocking as season two's episode 'Two for the Road" when Michael shot Ana Lucia and Libby.... I mean I love surprises and cliff hangers but fuck man.........I will have an aneurism if something ridiculously and unrealistically yet amazingly 'Lost-ish' happens.... and you men in the high castle of the AMPTP..... That blood is on your hands.
Anyhow.... I began re-watching season one today.. and there's just something about Kate in that first scene with Jack that rubs me the wrong way, it seems so out of character how feeble she is.... I believe the line that irked me was "I would have run out of the room" in reference to Jacks "panty dropping" story about fear and the girl whose nerves were going all over the place.... Even later in the episode she starts to show qualities of the Kate we know, even while on the plane...its just that one scene that gets me every time... perhaps I shouldn't be paying this much attention to this, and perhaps paying some attention to my Tv Crit paper... but I just had to write it down somewhere.
Also on an unrelated note.... I bought the old WB series 'Popular' on dvd, both seasons. Granted it was from a personal seller on amazon so "the man's" not getting any money from me... i digress.... wow. That show was god awful! watching it almost a decade later. damn... but the sad fact of the matter is... even though its tacky and cheesy and crappy... it's still oddly addicting.... There might be some of that "Josie and the Pussycat" movie subliminal message shit going on... cause while watching I did get the certain urge to buy stock in warner brothers.... but who knows...
Enough Procrastination for now...
