I spent Memorial Weekend watching the first season of "Lost". One episode after another.
I am now addicted.
I downloaded the first episode of season 2 from iTunes last week. Yes, I know it aired on tv last Wednesday, but I didn’t realize it was on until it was half-way through. And I can’t just watch half an episode. That’s just wrong.
So tonight I watched the second episode. And as it ended I came to a
realization: I hate this show. Okay, "hate" is a strong word. I deeply
dislike this show. So why do I continue watching, you may ask? Well, I’ll tell you.
Because I’m addicted!
I blame Nina. She and her husband were the ones who wanted to
spend the weekend watching this show that gives just enough action and
information to whet my appetite and then leaves me hanging just as the
episode ends. AAAAAUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!
Now I have to plan my summer around Wednesday nights at 8pm. Grrr.
Poor, Lu. You got sucked into the biggest chasm on TV and you’re loving every moment of the anxiety and angst and anger, aren’t you?? LOL I got sucked in at the very beginning and while there are moments I swear I’m going to turn it off unless they answer one of my burning questions, I haven’t had the will-power to do so.
You’re free to come talk with other Losties at my board if you want. You’ll be in good company with the love/hate thing. I think we all are there with you. 🙂

This post brings up several questions, but I’ll let most of them remain lost. What I’m most curious about is why you hate the show. An inquiring mind wants to know.
John Prine, “Spanish Pipe Dream”
She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke
Chorus:
Blow up your T.V. throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus on your own
Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo
Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin’ me what to do
Repeat chorus:
Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin’, well she looked me in the face
I said “You must know the answer.”
“She said, “No but I’ll give it a try.”
And to this very day we’ve been livin’ our way
And here is the reason why
We blew up our T.V. threw away our paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lot of children, fed ’em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own
I just wanted to say hey. Still around… even if it’s from a new location.
