Today was one of those days where I had very few things to do and expected that a few hours in the office would be sufficient to accomplish them. Well, surprise, welcome to my life. Nothing ever works like that. I accomplished one thing on my list of five and then twelve other things that popped up out of nowhere. Honestly, I don't even know why I bother planning my time. IT NEVER WORKS OUT! However, I realized that I did get to indulge in some of my favorite simple pleasures.
1. Crossing so many things off of your to-do list that you get to make a new one - and add the new 12 things you need to do.
2. Getting in the car and it's the perfect temperature and you don't need AC or heat.
3. Eating the perfect amount of dinner so your tummy doesn't hurt because it's so full but you aren't still hungry. And you have the perfect amount of leftovers for tomorrow's perfectly portioned dinner.
4. Being able to find exactly what you need out of a book by finding it in the table of contents and not wasting time reading pages and pages of crap that doesn't matter.
5. Coca-cola classic.
In other news I have discovered LOST. Yes, I know it's late.....but whatever, I don't believe in fads. I get on board when things are retro and charmingly vintage. Here are my thoughts on LOST: I would never make it on an island unless Sayid was there to protect me, and the rest of the creepy crazies would probably just annoy me. So far I think I like it, but I mean, hello! This is so Hollywood! Despite that, the part that really bothers me the most are these three things:
1. Those actors were forced to be sweaty and wet and in dirty clothes and rolling around in the dirt for SEVEN SEASONS!!! I know they were paid millions and they got to live in Hawaii, but gross. They probably had dirty fingernails for years!
2. Maggie Grace. She's an annoying character, her facial expressions are disturbing and her legs bend funny. I just saw the episode where she slept with her step brother the other day and now she was shot by the other most annoying person on the planet (Michelle Rodriguez - I hate her in everything I see her in) after Sayid professed his love for her. Drama.
3. Harold Perrineau's character Michael (and his kid). The fist time I saw Harold was in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet.....he played Mercutio (anyone remember?). He was amazing. Since then, he's always been Mercutio in my mind and I definitely picture him either in drag or declaring himself a "grave man" (obviously the best double entendre ever written, way to go Shakespeare). In the show he's an annoying single dad who "inherits" his son after his not-so-nice-never-wife dies unexpectedly. The kid is horrific, and yes I know that's part of his character, but did they tell him to leave his mouth hanging open all the time? And now he's creepy because he keeps appearing to people dripping wet in the jungle.
Anyway, I'm on season 2 and I think I'm about 70% on board with the show. It's starting to get pretty out there and I've heard it gets worse......but we shall see.
