Lost

Friday, March 20th, 2009

I may have been lost in World of Warcraft but that doesn’t mean I haven’t still been following the best show on TV, namely Lost.

I’ve really been enjoying season 5 and just wanted to take the time to post my thoughts about the main cast at the moment.

Firstly let me start with my favourite character… that award goes to ‘Juliet’. I guess that is probably a surprise choice given the fact that she has not been in Lost since the beginning. I can’t really explain what it is about her but, ever since she started appearing in Lost a few seasons ago I have really come to enjoy her more and more as time goes on. I also see from surfing around the net though that I am not alone in cheering for Juliet. I think that really is a great achievement for the actress Elizabeth Mitchell to come in to an established show and play a character that has become so popular. Lots of respect.

Well after my favourite character, the next tier of characters I enjoy watching include, John Locke, Sawyer, Sayid, Ben, Desmond and Miles.

In my indifferent list we then have Sun, Jin, Hurley and Daniel.

And in my, bloody hell they’re really starting to annoy me… Jack and Kate… which is scary given the fact they are considered near the top of the main characters. Jack is really getting on my nerves and ranks as the character I’d most love to see get killed off even though that is very unlikely to happen… I truly wish he hadn’t come back to the Island. And although I’ve not minded Kate in the past it’s probably the fact that, as Juliet and Sawyer were very happy together, I don’t particularly want to see Kate stuffing things up for them.

Anyway… just felt like telling the world how much I still liked Lost…. and particularly Juliet :-)

Lost Heroes and webpages…

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

Well I’ve now got to the end of season 1 of Heroes and the end of season 3 of Lost and, as I had watched the end of season 2 of Prison Break a few weeks ago this now means I have nothing new to look forward to watch each week for a while! :(

Still, this break in TV viewing has meant I have finally updated Quinn, Zoe and Leon’s webpages… something I was long overdue in needing to do. I’ve also been continuing to tinker with LibNET, particularly in getting it some promotion to bring in a few more visitors. So far so good, the counter may only be around 450 but I’m pleased with how knowledge of the site’s rebirth is slowly filtering through the web.

Subject to the #mylene wiki which I need to kick along again soon I’m at least feeling quite satisfied that my web empire is relatively well updated at the moment and that I’m on top of things!

Maybe I’ll even find some time now to tidy up the computer room and even bother to formally apply for my Australian Citizenship… which is something else I’m long overdue in getting done.

PS - I’m currently eating a pack of garlic peanuts whilst I write this blog entry and geez, they’re strong in flavour!!!… I wonder if Muppet may notice later!!!

I realise I haven’t posted to the blog for a whole week! And unfortunately I have no excuse other than that I have been spending most of my free time watching TV!

I’ve now reached episode 17 of Heroes which has meant watching at least 1 or 2 episodes each night for the last week. I’ve also been watching Amazing Race Asia Edition with Muppet too which means we’ve tended to watch at least one episode of that per night too…

So, to show what a boring week I have here is my typical evening schedule:-

5:40pm to 6:00pm - arrive home from work.
6:00pm to 7:30pm - Eat dinner, play with the little guys
7:30pm to 8:00pm - Get all 3 little guys to go to sleep, easier said than done!
8:00pm to 9:00pm - Usually watch an episode of Amazing Race Asia
9:00pm to 10:30pm - Muppet goes to bed and I watch one or two episodes of Heroes (or a new Lost or Prison Break dependent on the day of the week)
10:30pm to 11:00pm - waste time surfing a few sites on the net
11:00pm-ish - Bed!

Exciting life eh? Oh well… 1 more episode of Heroes to watch and then I’m stuck waiting like everybody else until nearly the end of April!

TV and games…

Saturday, May 7th, 2005

Spent most of this evening playing Forza Motorsport on the X-Box. I had played the demo of this a few months ago and kinda wrote it off at that time as ‘just another car game’ but now I have been playing the full version I have to say it is one of the best driving games on the X-Box. It may not have the high speed arcade fun of games such as Rallisport 2 but, for a more simulation style racing game it is excellent. Cars actually do feel different to drive rather than just looking cosmetically different on screen. I think this game should keep me amused for quite a while… which is probably a good thing as I don’t see many other forthcoming new releases that interest me much.

Also caught up tonight with the latest episode of Lost. I watched the first episode some months ago when it was shown on Australian TV but, in typical Wuggle fashion, I did not have the patience to wait for the following episodes and thus have since been itching each week to grab a copy from the U.S. However, it is kinda frustrating now that I’ve caught up as tonight’s episode seemed to finish no sooner than it began and yet again I’m left eagerly awaiting the next episode. So ok, I confess I am a ‘Lost’ fan… kicks ass over the likes of ‘24′ in my opinion.

Oh and also watched the latest episode of Amazing Race 7 last night… yay the crusties are gone and Rob and Amber are back at no.1! Only the season finale to go… Can’t wait!

And for anybody interested in what else I watch on TV here is my current viewing habits:-

Amazing Race, Lost, CSI Vegas, CSI Miami, CSI NY (although Vegas is by far the best), Cold Case, Without A Trace, Everybody Loves Raymond.

Damn I look at that list and see I’ve been americanised… hmmm…. I officially am not watching anything derived from the UK or Australia at the moment… rather sad but that is the way it is. To be absolutely honest I could cut out CSI Miami and NY and would not miss them but, as Muppet watches them, I tend to still follow these.

What could I watch that is Australian I wonder?… well… yet another season of Big Brother starts tomorrow night but I’m not sad enough to start watching that surely? Hmmm… we’ll see!
