Oops, I Did It Again

I was on a roll there for a few days, and then I fell off the wagon again. *sigh*

The truth is, I've been distracted quite a bit since my last post... I can't stop watching episodes of Lost! I fell hard. When I started, I was only watching during meals. That is, generally, during lunch I would watch the most recent episode of Craig Ferguson that was online, and then at dinner I would watch the next episode of Lost. Once I really got into Lost, however, I started skipping Ferguson, reasoning that he would still be available once I finished Lost. Then I started queuing episodes of Lost when I wasn't eating. I'm up to three or more episodes a day, and I've just started the second season. Last night I watched the two-part, three-hour season 1 finale all after midnight. I am so hooked.

The best part about watching Lost now is that, even though I've heard a lot of plot spoilers over the years, every few episodes there is a moment where I (literally!) say, "I didn't see that coming." I said that aloud last night when the French woman lead them to the Black Rock, and it turned out to be an old ship resting high and dry in the jungle.

I've also finally been able to dig in and do some real work on the web storefront I mentioned earlier. I have to work with someone— it's really his website and I'm just the hired hand— and he is slow to give me what I need to get the job done. He wants to check and doublecheck everything for every tiny little footstep we take. I would rather he gave me everything I needed and let me build as much as possible before going back for review. But, as has been pointed out to me by more than one person, this slow way ultimately means more money for me. My regret, though, is that my Uncle, who is the man who created the business, will have no chance to be impressed by my work ethic since it's being filtered through this other guy (who is actually my Uncle's son-in-law).

Well, I haven't much to talk about tonight. I hope to be back soon with more.
