A Not So Merry Christmas for Lilly

Life pretty much sucks for Evangeline Lilly this morning. Hopefully, the Hobbit steps up her Christmas gift this year. (May we suggest a new house with a bow on it?!)

Hiatus Happenings

I've been so "lost" without LOST recently. There is a hole in my heart every Wednesday at 9:00 as I wander aimlessly around my apartment, avoiding the accumulating boxes of baby schtuff. So, I have done my best to distract myself: I watched the SNL hosted by Matthew Fox, and I've been reading up on the upcoming film, We are Marshall. I've also serached all four corners of the internet seeking information, tidbits, spoilers, and theories on the show, which returns to ABC on February 7. (So far away...) Here is what I have come across, which I will now share with you, dear reader.

* First, and probably most disconcerting, LOST will, indeed, return to ABC on February 7, but make sure you get a nap in early that day, as it will not be returning to it's regualr time slot. You must now set your TiVo's and DVR's to 10:00 p.m. (holy crap!) to catch our doomed castaways. The reasoning behind this? (you'll love this, Ma) LOST was pummeled in the ratings last year by American Idol when the two shows went head to head, so this is their solution. I hope you're happy, Ma, I really am. As if I wasn't already going to be sleep deprived.

* I have become a big fan of Doc Jensen, Entertainment Weekly's "expert" on all things LOST. (Watch out, Doc, I'm coming for your job...) Usually, you can catch some sort of theory expostulation on his site every Thursday. He has good ideas, and good theories, but some of them are pretty farfetched. Others, (tee hee) however, are interesting and certainly thought-provoking. You'll need to brush up on your Bible and/or musical theatre for this week's installment, however.

* Tripp West, Atlanta DJ extrordainaire, (I guess.... I like his blog better than his radio show) has been keeping up his his blog, mostly to post the YouYube spots that air during DayBreak, giving us glimpses of what's to come. Not terribly interesting, since they are, on average, about 15 seconds long, which is usually the amount of time I require to focus on something anyway, so I have to watch it a few times before I can glean anything from the spot. Eh.

* Sometimes, I have to rely on SpoilerFix to get me through the day. While there's not a lot of info being leaked, it sometimes tweaks my attention for a moment or two. (Hey, I'm on maternity leave, and spend my day wandering my overpriced apartment, what else would you have me do?!)

Sorry kids, that's all I've got for now. It's a helluva long time till February. Be strong.
