Evil Wrapped in a Fangirl Disguise

Is Jack on Lost strangely reminiscent of Jeff Probst on Survivor sometimes or is it just me?

So I thought the season premier of Lost was sort of lackluster

This could be because I still haven't seen *all* of season one, though I have seen the finale a couple of times, or because I wasn't really in the mood for Lost. I think it was mostly the latter. ( Putting this behind a cut just in case. )

Natasha was so unimpressed she exclaimed, "That was the premier?" when I mentioned it afterward.

But I do want to know what's going on and I do want to see where they're going with it. Should be interesting.

Classes tomorrow.

( Watched Stargate, the movie )

OMG. Michael DeLuise is David in this episode of Lost ("Confidence Man")! Did a double-take. Saw him, went "wait a tic," thought he looked familiar (from SG-1), then realized he looked like a DeLuise and, bam!, he is! Neat.

( Sheppard. John Sheppard. )

So, there's that. Natasha, I would like you to persuade me out of playing with this idea. Really. I don't need to write tiny scenes on scraps of paper. Or figure out just where the other SGA/SG-1 characters would fit into this. (Teyla's a sexy secret agent from another country. Daniel works on decoding things.)

In other, seriously-I'm-not-crazy news, got my driver's license renewed. Yea. Only have the temporary right now, but I don't look like a complete dork in my picture. In fact, ::gasp:: I look like me. Also bought Lost. YEA. Spent part of the evening looking for easter eggs. Actually found some, too. Go me!

Anyhoo. ::is dull::

Well, I said I'd post about classes and so now I'm gonna do that. Partly because I said I would and partly because I like to hear myself type. :)


Spanish Language 1 (SPAN 115 - M-F, not Th) should be fun. Hopefully fairly easy as well. Not easy easy, but relatively easy. I really like the professor so far. She's pretty energetic and very smiley. The class itself is small-ish. Today we were randomly put in twos and asked to do an impromptu conversation. Easy. I still can't role my r's though. rrrrrrrr.

Survey of American Literature (ENGL 254 - M, W) is going to be interesting. Kasey's there, so at least there's someone to talk to. And giggle with. Because half of the things mentioned during class in the first day alone linked back to Eddie Izzard. It's a good thing 'cause it makes it more fun. It's a bad thing because I want to bust out laughing half of the time. The professor is going to totally notice it and be all "Explain yourself" and I'm going to be all "the French Banana War....Mormons *are* from Mars....that would be laughable..." But, y'know, it's fun. We'll be reading several things I've read already, which is good for me. Yea.

Philosophy of the Human Person (PHIL 220 - T, Th) is also going to be interesting. This is the class that Julia recommended to me. It's part of the woman's studies program and the professor is very intense and kinda nutty. But in a good way. Definitely gonna be a bit of a challenge, but we get to read exciting things like Frankenstein so I'm good. So far.

Also looks like I'll be working Monday through Wednesday. 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM on Tuesdays.

Lost premiered on Wednesday. Went over to Campion and watched it with Kasey, Kit, Katie, and Natasha. Had a good time, though not entirely sure what I think about it. It's got potential, but some of it is a little, I dunno, cliched? off? There's something about certain parts of it that are a little too horror-movie-of-the-week y'know? Plus the slightly long-ish monologues of exposition. All in all I'd say I enjoyed it. I'd like to see more because I am especially intrigued about what's mauling people. (I was gonna see "eating", but the pilot seemed mostly whole to me.)

But this is all coming from the girl who watched her brother play Resident Evil: Code Veronica (I think it was that one) just because she wanted to know what the hell was really going on.

Our door mirror now says: "Don't tease me about my hobbies. I don't tease you about being an asshole." Everyone ever should go see Garden State. I've now seen it twice with Mom. Whee.
