Eep!
It's a little bit sad that I cannot find the words to describe how excited I am for this movie to come out! I'm a bit bummed that I have to wait 8 months for the second half of it, but oh well.
I'm also excited to see this on Thursday with some of my favorite ladies.
Moving on.
I started reading The Man Who Ate the 747 by Ben Sherwood the other day. I'm having a hard time getting in to it, but I'm forcing myself to read it before I read The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud. So, it will eventually get read. Because I really want to read Charlie St. Cloud.
It is with mixed feelings that I announce that the majority of my hair and I will be parting ways on Wednesday. It is just getting a little too difficult to maintain this mess. I'll put up some before and after pictures on my Facebook.
That's all.

Are you ready?
So this is just my pre Lost post to talk about how excited I am about Lost. Which would be very excited.
Tonight's episode is called The Substitute and if the title doesn't give away who the episode is about, then we have a problem. Since I'm feeling nice, I will tell you it's about Locke. I'm pretty confused about what's going on with him. I guess the smoke monster can take different forms because Locke is definitely dead and hanging out on the sand by the statue. So, tonight we will hopefully get some background on the Locke-ness monster. Very exciting. I really enjoyed last weeks slower pace, but I'm hoping they step it up tonight.
I've been watching as much as the Olympics as I can, which is to say, not much since I work. I caught some of the speed skating over the weekend (big time Apolo Ohno fan here!) and the women's moguls. Men's snowboarding half pipe starts tomorrow night. I watched a little of the luge, but it was hard for me to watch after the Georgian luger who died.
I had a super fun adventure trying to see Valentine's Day this weekend. We managed to only see half the movie, but that was not our fault.
Speaking of, I hope everyone had a nice Valentine's day weekend. I was spoiled with a Sony Reader. As if I didn't already have a massive problem with reading, this just made it that much easier to buy books. N has created an even bigger monster!
Oh! And we never talked about Vampire Diaries! I loved last weeks episode! I could believe Katherine wasn't in the tomb...totally didn't see that one coming! I'm curious to see how/if Bonnie and Elena's relationship changes since Bonnie's grandma died helping Damon. I'm confused as to how Jeremy managed to jump to the conclusion about Ana being a vampire, so I hope we get to find out how that happened. Maybe he read something in the journal and connected it to Ana. Hm. And where is Alaric's wife? She could possibly still be alive (ish) somewhere...maybe her and Damon had a thing.
Let's meet back here tomorrow to discuss Lost, shall we?

I almost forgot!
I am very excited about this!!
Cut me some slack...I have to satisfy the 12 year old girl living inside of me. Eclipse was one of my favorite books from the series, and the studio has done a really good job of not leaking anything. So my interest is piqued. Don't judge me.

In regards to the best show on Earth...
And I don't mean the circus, kids.
It's time for a little LOST talk.
I was really pleased that last night's episode was a little bit slower paced. It gave my poor head a chance to recover from last week! But, we still got a ton of info last night. I think.
I was very impressed with Josh Holloway's (Sawyer) acting last night, but I'm a little bit worried for him. I don't know how I feel about him living in Dharmaville by himself, and I'm not sure how the story will progress if he stays there. So I'm guessing that he doesn't. And I totally didn't cry when he threw Juliet's engagement ring into the ocean. I just had some smoke monster barrier dust in my eyes.
I'm pretty confused about what is going on with Sayid. I guess I was totally wrong about Jacob taking over his body. Maybe Jacob is trying to but the Locke-ness monster beat him to it and "claimed" Sayid's body.
Kudos to Jack for owning up to the fact that others have died or been hurt trying to help him. Glad to see him wearing some big boy pants for once.
I'm really intrigued by the deja-vu-ish looks some of the characters have been showing on their faces. It will be interesting to see how these "sideways" flashes meet up with what's happening on the island.
And Claire!! Ethan was her doctor!! Big WTH moment. I can't believe she trusted Kate as much as she did seeing as how Kate jacked her cab and put a gun to the cabbies head. Odd. I think we'll be seeing that credit card again later too. And why was Claire running around the jungle with really bad hair? The new Rousseau (who apparently has been dead for a while)?
The episode was called "What Kate Does", but I didn't think it was wholly Kate-centric. Though I was disappointed we didn't see any of the "What lies in the shadow of the statue people" or Ben, "Locke" or Richard. Especially after the whole "Good to see you out of those chains, Richard" moment. And I'm getting very excited about a Jin/Sun reunion. I wonder whether they'll have a happy ending though. In their flash sideways, Jin still seems uptight and Sun still seems unhappy. Very excited for next week. I love you Tuesday.
In other news, there is no other news.
I'm in a book funk. The other night I started The Next Queen of Heaven. It's by the guy who wrote Wicked. So far, so good.
I hate to end on a sad note, but I'm pretty bummed about the passing of Phil Harris. If you don't know, he was captain of the Cornelia Marie which was documented on the Discovery Channel. He died last night after suffering a stroke last month.
Alright blog, I will see you on Friday (maybe) for a little Vampire Diaries action. : )
