post-everything nothing

For the first time since the beginning of the holidays I had two consecutive do-nothing days which have proven to be extremely therapeutic because now it seems as if I have regained the ability to speak in complete sentences.

And when that happens I have nothing to speak/write about.

On to less melodramatic thoughts, I don't see what's the hype about Lost. It's so Lord of the Flies-ish. The beast, Piggy, Jack, Ralph, all find manifestations of themself in the show except the show is more racially diverse though it plays up stereotypes (especially of Asian men). But I suppose we need a few more episodes to tell, though at present I think Kate is the more (predictably) interesting character. I thought Sayid looked a lot like Kip in the English Patient and was almost going to make something along the lines of a racist comment before I googled Naveen Andrews and realised that he did act in TEP. Phew.

Stranded on an unknown island, well you can't get more lost than that but I think it's strange the producers have to be so blatant about it. Half the time people are lost anyway, lost in themselves, lost in work, lost in love and a hundred other permutations and definitions.

Another of those uninspired moments.
