Nothing specific, just thinking

When will we know who the Democratic nominee is? Is this really going to be drawn out all the way to the convention? Although I have typically found myself on the other side of the aisle when previously voting, I do have a preference of the Democrats. But at this point I just want a nominee so we can get things back to the way they should be with the parties bickering and bad mouthing one another instead of themselves.

On an entertainment note I’ve recently started watching Battlestar Galactica in earnest and just finished up Season 1. Very good stuff. Since I don’t mind spoilers and have seen episodes out of order here and there, I decided to watch the pre-Season 4 catch up on SciFi.com called, “What the Frak is Going On?” (Apparently the primer was done by the same people and in the same style as the recent “Lost in 8:15″ pre-season primer so if you liked one, the other should be equally as enjoyable.) But when talking about the Helo and Boomer baby and dropped the line, “there’s a bun in the toaster”, I laughed out loud for a solid minute.

In more entertainment related news I think I hated LOST more tonight than I did when the closing “thud” sounded on The Constant earlier this season. In fact this episode tonight may have run the gambit of thoughts and emotions more than any other. Spoilers lie ahead to proceed with caution… But to have a guy that you love to hate, and see these glimpses of hope and redemption that give you hope for him, only to have your thoughts and expectations about what will come next splattered against the side wall by something you never saw coming and reconstructed into something that leaves you sitting on the edge of your couch wondering how it happened, can you really believe it, and how in the world will this play out. (Please forgive the run on) He’s got this puppy love crush on Juliet, but can’t deal with someone else having her even if he can’t. Directly causes the death of, if not his daughter, the girl he raised from infancy. And when finally comes face to face with the man that changed the entire shape of the last three seasons of LOST, the man that he seemingly been at war with for years, the man he blames for the death of maybe the only person he has ever loved - when asked if he was here to kill, Ben responds, “You know I can’t do that.” WHAT?!? Just about every episode this season my first words after the closing “thud” have been, “I hate this show.” To which laughs and then grins at me knowing that the next day will be filled with obsessive pouring over Lostpedia, forums, and blogs about what I missed, what it all means, and where in the world we are headed in this journey of LOST.

Daily life is managing to fill up with more junk than I would want to deal with in a given month. I’m tired and I feel like I’m spinning my wheels no matter where I focus my efforts. Here’s to lower gas prices and making progress in our daily pursuits.
