Lost

I have recently begun to watch the show "Lost". Being a former literature major, I think the mythology, the mystery, and the metaphors (the island is more than the literal land, etc...) make for a very interesting premise, one that I wish I could write a paper about for my former Mythical Allusion professor.

However, my expectations have been and are VERY high. I was disappointed last night, to say the least. In order to explain the hatch and Desmond's presence, the writers think of a "dharma experiment" where a button has to be pushed every 108 minutes?! A frickin' button?! Not that I am a writer for ABC, nor would ever be qualified as one, but come on people, it has to be better than "there was an incident, so a button has to be pushed..." I am sincerely hoping that it will develop into a more interesting story line and that last night was only the start of something great, but with TV, one never really knows.

I am sort of a restaurant snob, and am almost ashamed to admit it, but I did have a very delicious bacon, turkey, lettuce and tomato sandwich at Red Robin today. I also made Dan bring me a sundae from McDonald's (McDonald's for ice cream?!) last night.

Eating is God's best gift to humankind--and we get to do it at least 3 times a day. In my case, it is more like 8 times a day, minus 4 because of the puking.
