Happy 48th birthday, cousin Morehu!
And Happy Winter Solstice, all! (or Summer Solstice for those up Nth) Guess all the astronomers, pagans & stargazers will be partying hard tonight!
And it's Matariki on the 27th- the Maori new year (never knew we had one, to be honest)
Cool! Two reasons to get drunk in one week! (not that you need a reason).
And Happy Birthday, Cancers! It's your month! I raise my glass to you all! Cheers, havva good one! Excellent. Another 30 reasons to get drunk this month! :-)
And happy joy, there's TWO hours of LOST tonight! Tonight, I think Kate & Jack get all kissey-face (last week's previews implied) Go, them! Either that or Dr Crybaby will get all chin-wobbly, quivery-lipped, blinking watery eyes &... you know the rest...
Update: As usual my predictions were wrong. I'd make a terrible psychic. They never kissed or cried. But next week looks like Sawyer & Ana Lucia could get all up close & personal. Isn't all this romance great in series two? I can honestly say, LOST is the best series I've ever seen in all my long, distinguished sitting-on-bum eyes-glued-to-box career. Can't believe how they maintain the level of intensity each week. It deals with some major heavy & dark psychological issues. The moods can be really raw and unsettling, then morph effortlessly into poignancy or levity & humour. Superb film-making. I'm totally hooked.

I want you too, Pheel!
Me too!
Aww Shucks! Stop it, you're making me blush!
OK enough mucking around. Just wanted to experiment posting under different names.
Computer lesson finishes.
I don't think the show is the only one dealing with "major heavy and dark psychological issues"!
I like the cute Canadian one too though. Just not enough to watch the show every week.
Yeah, you're right. Heaps of shows deal with heavy stuff & people wrestling with their demons.
I like LOST coz it's very bleak for American TV, which is usually upbeat & can-do and optimistic.
There's a real undercurrent of hopelessness - that there are No Happy Endings.
All of the characters are majorly screwed up, all have heaps of emotional baggage, wracked with guilt & regret. But also futility - the realisation that bad stuff happens to the good & bad alike. Fate is randomly cruel.
There's a sense of impending doom, that they'll never be resuced, that it all just gets worse & worse..
The contrast between mood and scenery is unnerving. All of this dark drama against the gorgeous visual backdrops.
Lush tropical rainforests, sweeping panoramic beachfronts, moody ambient campfires. There's a real sense of unresolvable menace & vague peril just below the dazzling surface.
