i said it, therefore it is true

Today I read, had a bit of chocolate, listened to Over the Rhine, and made brownies. I also spent a considerable amount of time lying on the picnic table while reading and listening to Over the Rhine (the chocolate was gone and the brownies were not yet made) in the warm sun. Also, the second disc of Doctor Who: Series One came in from Netflix. And Lost is tonight. It has been the best day ever. 

Er, well, except for youth group, which was uninspiring and tepid, and involved the playing of sports. I was picked last for teams, of course, and spent a rather unpleasant fifteen minutes walking back and forth across the parking lot pretending (very badly) that I was interested in what appeared to be football with a frisbee and also knew what I was doing. (Mostly I kicked at the gravel with my fetching new boots, hummed, admired the stark beauty of the lonely bare treetops skimming the blue and rose and gold sky spun over with rough-patterned clouds, and imagined Ten playing football, which was three or four brilliant shades of hilarity.) 

Alas, today is Happy Idiot Extras Day on Lost, so I am going, in a moment, to run upstairs and get the black sporks Mum put in my stocking, because I actually have a use for them now. Lindelof & Co. have been saying something about "a plan" that they haven't "fully executed" and that The Idiot Extras will become "iconic characters" when said executing is executed, and this is supposed to help with assuaging the whole universal hatred issue, but, seriously? The only way I am going to like these characters is--wow, actually, that would be kind of brilliant, come to think of it--if they were evil. It's so perfect, see? They show up in the beginning of the season appearing to know everyone and everything, including things that no-one else knows, except that we have never seen them before. The best way to resolve this would to have it turn out that they are plants--by the Others, I reckon--and are SHUHR OMG [/obscure fandom reference] telepathically maniupulating the castaways into believing that they've been there all along. That would explain the omniscience, for one thing. Blimey, it'd be the best plot ever. Everyone would be buzzing about it for weeks. 

And it's going to happen, of course, because I am The Fandom Psychic. (I predicted Trap/Carissa in the first book with almost no circumstantial evidence, remember, 

lady_moriel and midenianscholar? *still won't shut up about that* And, oh, there was something else, but I can't remember. It all boils down to Banui Is The Centre Of The Universe, anyway, somewhere, if you do the math right.)

Right, okay, later I am going to talk about how utterly and completely splendid Drunkard's Prayer is, but I am going to go watch Lost now.

*giggles* I loved Hurley. And I kind of want to precede every mention of Desmond's name with the word 'Super', so that I can say things such as 'Look! Super Desmond is here!', and 'Today, Super Desmond was awesome.' :D

Yes, spiders are NASTY. I must admit that I cringed. I hate being bit by things.

Girl fight, eeek. o.O Juliet, I thought you had too much dignity for that sort of thing. You too, Kate, come to think of it.

I couldn't watch the spiders. iiiick.

No one is too dignified, darling. Just wait until the Real Brennen appears before us.
