Otherwise occupied

Tonight is TV night. (New Lost, new 2-hour Alias after a 9-month hiatus.) Anyone who calls my house after 7 pm should be prepared to get yelled at and/or hung up on.

Just so ya know.

  1. Lost is great. I hold to the apocalyptic theory myself—they’re gonna get to the far side of the island and find the other half of the plane, which of course is where all the bad people were. >8->

    Anna and I have decided that we’re tired of people telling us how great Alias is. So I popped the first three seasons to the top of our Netflix queue. The current season will just have to accumulate on the TiVo until we’re ready for it.

    We just watched the first episode last night. Excellent, but now I’m having doubts about watching all the seasons quickly like this, and Lost at the same time. Have there been any documented cases of brains melting from sustained overexposure to J.J. Abrams?

  3. Steve – just mine. :) I did the entire first season in one shot when I was home sick with the flu a while back… not sure if it was the flu or the show that melted the brain cells.

    The show is occasionally stupid beyond belief (like, the entirety of season 3) but it’s so damn much fun.

I’m addicted to the NYTimes maps this morning, especially the county bubble view. Hello, population distribution! It’s fascinating to compare this year to 2004.
