TONIGHT!!!!!

It's finally here! Season 4 starts tonight. I can't wait. Not only does the new season start tonight, I am also hosting a LOST party. I'll try to post some pictures of the festivities in the days to come. Dinner, drinks, good friends and LOST. What could be better?



I will say I am a little upset with ABC, though. Last night, they replayed the Season 3 finale. It was billed as an enhanced version - and by enhanced, I mean they had facts about the show scrolling across the bottom of the screen while the show was on. My friend Kelly has been watching all the DVDs for the past month to get caught up so she can join in on all our LOST conversations (she's hooked by the way and I'm so glad she finally gave in). But she waited to watch the Season 3 finale with me, Chris and Cher. So the show starts and all this information that she DOES NOT NEED TO KNOW YET starts scrolling across the screen. It's not stuff like, "This is Jack. He's a surgeon." It's stuff that totally gives away the big "twist" at the end of the season! So me being the genius that I am cut the sides off a pizza box and taped them to the bottom of the TV screen so she couldn't see what was being given away (I know, I'm a total nerd). But my efforts were meaningless, because she had the whole "twist" figured out about 5 minutes into the show. She and Chris are the only two people in the known world that had it figured out.



Anyway, I had better get back to work before I get fired. After work I am going home to fix Chicken Paresan for the guests. I'm sure updates will follow periodically throughout the day. I may even do a live LOST blog tonight. Stay tuned...

Weekend Update

Sorry it's not Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers, but this is what the weekend looked, sounded and felt like:

Friday
-Decided at 4:45pm I was going to Belterra after work (which was fifteen minutes later).
-Went to Belterra, won $80 (after being up $120).
-Drove back to Lexington, hung out with Chris, Cher, Kelly, Faith and Trina.
-Watched Maria Sharapova (HOT!) win the Australian Open.
-Went to bed.

Saturday
-Met up with my friends Browning, Jamie and Amanda and watched UK beat South Carolina.
-Went to the 5:30 service at St. Awesome's.
-Helped Chris change a flat tire on the Tahoe.
-Went to O'Neill's with about twenty of my closest friends to see Long Duk Dong. For the record, these guys get better and better every time I see them.
-Passed out on the couch.

Sunday
-Woke up with a hangover.
-Had lunch with Browning before he went back to Louisville.
-Went to the mall to use my GAP gift card (didn't buy anything).
-Went to Wal-Mart (didn't buy anything).
-Watched The Number 23 (awesome) and Donnie Darko (uh...hmmm...).
-Went to bed.

So to recap, there was gambling, friends, church, beer, bourbon, 80's music and movies. Not a bad weekend at all...

Have I Mentioned...?

This is why I love LOST

New Stephen King Novel Out Today!

I have been a Stephen King fan since the summer of 1990. The first King book I read was IT. I remember sleeping with the lights on for about a week after I finished that one!

For my money, Stephen King's Eyes of the Dragon and the Dark Tower series are his best works. But his last book, Lisey's Story, was excellent. I have to admit, I know absolutely nothing about this one, so I am very excited to buy it today and get started. This will be a good night to read. As I type this, snow is flying outside and it's very cold - not really my favorite time of the year. This will be the break from reality I need right now!

Plus if I get started with this one tonight, I should have it finished before the new season of LOST starts! Have I mentioned I LOVE LOST?
