Lost is definitely my favorite new TV show this season. Of all the new shows that I started watching this season (mostly NBC shows because of all that advertising during the Olympics), Lost is the only one that I still watch.

The show is about a group of plane crash survivors that are stranded on a deserted island. It’s a lot like 24 in that it’s really just one long story divided into many different episodes. Each episode spans approximately one day. I like the way that use flashbacks in each episode to give you background information on one of the characters. It may be hard to pick up on everything if you haven’t been watching since the beginning, but I urge you to give it a try anyway. It comes on Wednesday nights at 7 CST on ABC. The very first episode is being replayed this coming Wednesday.

It has several actors in in that I recognize from other places: Daniel Dae Kim (24), Dominic Monaghan (The Lord of the Rings), Terry O’Quinn (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Earth 2), Harold Perrineau (Oz, Matrix 2 & 3), and Ian Somerhalder (Smallville, Life as a House).

There have been rumors about a death on the show for a while now. This past Wednesday, I thought it had actually happened. Dominic Monaghan’s character was left hanging from a tree by some psycho and the doctor couldn’t bring him back. At this point I’m thinking to myself, “I should’ve know something was up when I saw him on The Late Late Show last night because I haven’t seen any of these people promoting this show before”. I was angry because they were killing off that poor little hobbit. Luckily the doctor went crazy, started back pounding on the hobbit’s chest, and was able to bring him back.

Go Doc!

Should I get a Nintendo DS or a Sony PSP? I’ve heard positive and negative things about both systems.

I went to GameStop today. The manager there is pretty cool. I went to buy the KOTOR II strategy guide because they didn’t have it in when I went to buy the game. He gave me the 20% discount that you get when you buy the guide at the same time as you purchase the game. We started talking about DS’s, and said that I should go play one. We played a multiplayer match in the Metroid game. It was a pretty even match, but he had to go talk to an applicant. Anyway, after playing it for a while, I’m pretty sure I want a DS. But I think I’ll put off a final decision until I can test drive a PSP.

Tonight, Rick’s Cafe teamed with WMSV to offer Free Movie Night at Hollywood Premier Cinemas here in Starkville. This was the second time they had done this and the plan is to make it a semi-annual event. The first 1500 people that entered the theater after 6:15 tonight got to see whatever movie they wanted for absolutely free. Jason, Jennifer, Allison, and I decided to go see I Heart Huckabees. I like indie movies, but a lot of them are very strange and this one was no exception. Still, it was funny in some parts and I enjoyed it overall.

It looks like EA has learning it’s lesson and will be trying to make working conditions better.

It looks like I have 4 tickets to see The Daily Show on May 31, 2005. The whole process only took about 2 months to complete. They were booked up until April 2005 so, I had to pick a date between May 31 and June 30. The only other range they gave me was during the first week of May, which is right during finals. So, I figured I should pick a day close to a holiday. Now I guess I have to start making plans to be in NYC on that day. I’ve wanted to go there for a long time. I think it would be a nice vacation, but I’ve got a feeling that for some reason I won’t be able to go. Stay tuned.
