ebonlockWell I got laundry done last night but precious little else. The apartment is at least livable for Aelf's stay tonight and that's going to have to be good enough I think.
Got some more writing done, 17,100+ words so far and I might be nearing the halfway point...maybe. However, my goal of finishing it this month seems rather absurd. Ah well, it was a nice dream while it lasted.
Pye has discovered a way to get inside my boxspring and thinks this is the coolest thing ever. Especially at 3 in the morning. *sigh*

tersa, no samples yet, did you get yours? Even if it arrives tonight I don't think there's any way I can get it started thanks to class, so I'll have to start it tomorrow night and play with it on Saturday I think. Do we need to do the actual ordering by this weekend? I should think so.
Overall a decent episode, and it was interesting to see how Jack's relationship crumbled away. He's a total fixer and once his wife was all well he had to go find something or someone else who was broken to put back together again. I loved the fact that while he couldn't bring himself to cheat ("It's not who you are" as his dad pointed out) his wife had been doing so for a while and left him by the end of the flashbacks. It does flesh him out a bit more, though jeez, could he be any more Clark Kent if he tried?
I also found it interesting that Kate was all into Sawyer until Jack got pissed at her, then suddenly she switched gears again and was following him around like a puppy. Jack may be a fixer, but oh boy does Kate have daddy issues.
I liked Sawyer's motivation for going after the Others. Straight up revenge, it is, after all, what he's best at. And the bit between him and Locke when the latter wants to know why he calls himself Sawyer rather than his real name was a delight. The "Mr. Clean" line needs to become an icon in the worst way.
Charlie and Hurley bonding over music down in the bunker was likewise adorable. And yay for brief Sayid and his deadpan, "This music is depressing." Heh.
I really don't like the plot device that is the Others. The end of the ep reminded me way too much of a certain 7th Sea story that ended with all of us having to back down from a mad bomber who held all the cards. Have the Others outwit our bunch and I'm totally down with that, but making them these semi-omnipotent psychos who know all, see all, and even coordinate their ambushes with torch-driven light shows, and I'm going to be crying foul.
Best scene of the whole ep is a tie between Sun and Jin's exchange on taking orders from one another and Jack asking Ana Lucia how long it'd take to turn their ragtag bunch of survivors into an army. Hell if I were him I'd already be rigging the jungle around our base with traps. Just like in Predator, that'd be cool.
