ebonlockFirst and foremost, this is some scary fucking shit. Makes me kinda glad I put all my political type rants under lock and key these days. It also makes me want to find the person who turned this gal in, revoke their LJ rights forever and beat them even more senseless than they already are. Jesus.
Nice dinner last night, mmm, Rama Thai and a big old iced Thai coffee (yeah, I know, way to resist the caffeine temptation but dammit I'd been good all week) plus lovely conversation. Can't beat that with a stick. Zoomed home in time to catch part of the Daily Show, but missed the lunar eclipse as it was all cloudy :(
As per usual I recommend that you go check out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cleolinda's journal for the funniest recap on the web. Then check out the Driveshaft Fansite which is so incredibly well put together that I almost believe the band exists. The Charlie performance pics are adorable and I love the fan report by the last gal to see him before his plane mysteriously disappeared. It's a helluva lot of fun, kudos to whoever put this together.
Mmm-kay, can't say I was terribly impressed by this episode, though it was nice to see some Sun/Jin backstory at long last. We discovered why Sun is all sad and tragic though I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the concept of the Korean mafia being based in Sydney. WTF? Polar bear, polar bear, just focus on the polar bear until this latest absurdity fades into the background.
We also discovered that as the heroin runs out Charlie is turning into a bit of a snarky bitch. I kinda like it. And Alpha Kate must be in heat or something because she is so totally shameless around Alpha Jack it just ain't funny. Several times during the episode I wanted to take her aside and just say, "Honey, look, the subtle approach isn't working. Just jump him and let nature take its course. The dude is thick...cute, but thick." Although any guy who still doesn't get it when a lady presents her ass to him probably doesn't deserve to get laid.
Charlie voluntarily gives up the Smackfarthing to the island gods (by way of Locke, did I not say shaman last time?) in return for his beloved guitar. His chirp "And guitar!" was just too cute for words. Enjoy cuteCharlie while he lasts as next week it looks like were seeing coldturkeyfuckingimmemydrugsbitchCharlie.
And I have to say I'd be very torn about where I'd live as one of the castaways. I mean I adore creature comforts and having access to all kinds of fresh water plus shelter and a degree of safety, I'd be tempted by those caves. On the other hand Sayid stayed on the beach. Decisions, decisions...
Although it looks like, from the previews, some cave collapses in the next episode so it may be back to the beach for everyone. Sadly, our invisible man gnawing friend was nowhere in evidence in this ep, nor does it seem to be in the next. :(
Finally got my free phone certificate thingie from AT&T wireless. The only catch is they want you to call to redeem it and I tried twice this morning, the first time I mistyped one wrong digit in the code and had to start all over again. The second I got routed to a real person who made me confirm which number I'd called twice then told me I was at the wrong place and he'd forward me on to the right person. Of course what he did was put me right back to the beginning of the phone menu. At this point I decided to just hang up and see if I couldn't do this somehow online. Gah.
