Yesterday was a weird day. It was surreal to see the events in Washington, and more so to have a chance to speak to my mother who was there in the midst of it all.
The speech has been resonating a little more with me than it did when he gave it, but it still comes nowhere close to calming my apprehension about the continually deteriorating economy. Part of me want to ask how things can be so bad with so many people able to afford the trip to DC. How can things be so bad with 10 inaugural balls in DC alone? Think of the hundreds of millions of dollars spent over the past 3 or so days by the government and by private citizens.
I also was around on Facebook a few times throughout the day, and I’m still flabbergasted by the overreaction from the hardcore right. Someone I went to high school with commented at around 1 am yesterday morning that she couldn’t sleep because all this “change” scared her. Someone else was going on about increased tax dollars going toward paying for abortions in 3rd world countries. I just don’t get it. These are all supposedly educated people as well.
But I’ll put all that behind me because another hope of mine comes to fruition tonight. How do you ask? It’s the season premiere of Lost.
Hell yeah!
I know that my most loyal commenter has never regained an affinity for the show, but I’m really past the point of return. Even if the show sucks from now until the end of season 6, I’ve put in too much time to not see how things work out. That’s not quite the most optimistic of statements, but I am looking forward to the show. I’ve liked each season for different reasons, and I’m 90% sure that I’ll like it from here on out.
I know I’ll get to see Locke die at least once.

Just padding my status as your most loyal commenter … I couldn’t care less about Lost but hope it works for you. I like to think that if the nation were asked, “Can we do without Lost?”, the answer would be “Yes We Can!”.
