At this very moment, the season finale of LOST is airing live on ABC. Am I watching it? Of course I'm not. Why am I not watching it? Because I'm at work. LOST has aired on Tuesday night's this entire season and because ABC wanted to make an event out of the finale, it is airing on Sunday night instead. Why is this bad? Because my regular board-op shift at KROQ is on Sunday nights. I actually really like the idea of making an event out of the finale, but what I don't like about it is that I have to work during it. So the finale airs from 9pm-11:30pm. I work until 1am. If I haul it home, I can make it home in 30-35 minutes. So let's say by the time I get in and start the show on my Tivo, it's 1:40am. A 2 1/2 hour episode, minus the commercial breaks will maybe be, what, an hour 45 minutes. That gets me in bed at 3:25am. And what time will I have to get up for work tomorrow morning? 6:30am. 3 hours and 5 minutes of sleep. Ouch. And it's all for LOST. God damn you LOST, I love you so much.
Now I'm well aware that the content of this particular blog has not been too exciting. I'm sure you've all thoroughly enjoyed reading my thought process behind viewing a television show. But the main reason I'm here is because this blog is the ONLY safe place on the internet for me to go. Facebook will be full of LOST status updates. I'm too afraid to go onto Yahoo or Google for fear that any sort of LOST update will be in the news sections. I don't even want to check my email because I might see that someone wrote on my wall and I'll be too tempted to check it. So here I am killing time on my blog, waiting to get off work so I can go bid a tearful farewell to Jack, Kate, Desmond, Smokey, Ben, Miles, Hurley, Sawyer, Sayid, Jin, Sun, Claire, Baby Aaron, Whidmore, Dead Locke, Jacob, Jacob's Nameless Brother, Richard, Milpdeis (who I wanted to double check the spelling of but am too afraid to type his name in a Google search for fear a spoiler will come up), Vincent, Rose, Bernard, all the dead characters who I don't want to name because I've already bid my tearful farewell to them, Penny, Walt, all those people on Whidmore's team who I think are still on the island and everyone else who I left out and will later regret leaving out. And I'd like to thank you for understanding that I took the time to list all those characters just to keep myself from drifting on the internet. I've wasted your time, and I can't thank you enough for allowing me to do so. Happy LOST Day.
That was actually kinda entertaining. Glad you stayed up to watch it...definitely worth it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope this doesn't rock your world, but you're WAY off on Milpdeis. At first I thought my world was rocked, but then I imdb'd it to make sure. His name is Lapidus! I can kinda see how you got that other pronunciation though. hehe
Fun fact: Vincent was in more episodes than Richard Alpert! (and I think he's a girl in real life!)
Haha, yeah I looked up Lapidus later! But I always thought it was Milpedis because there's a city up by Fremont called Milpitas, so that's always what I heard when his name was spoken.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the fun fact!! Both of them. They were quite entertaining. I might have to start a "Fun Facts With Erica The Great" section on this here blog.
That would be awesome. I could come up with fun facts every day! haha
