LOST

So, on Sunday I went to Blockbuster videos to get two more discs of the LOST series and meant to get disc 3 and 4 of the second year (They don’t have any of the first season.  I saw it at Fry’s this Christmas and thought about buying it, but $54 was way too much) but accidentally got 3 and 5.

I have been going to work and coming home and watching the discs in sequence.  I really like this show – it’s very good for broadcast TV.  I’ve been watching LOST online at ABC.com too, but they only have a few up – recent ones, which I am watching for the second (or third) time.  Mr. Eko’s storyline is very facinating, and by renting the early episodes, I’m filling in his backstory quite a bit.  Eko is a very interesting character.

All the people in this story are interesting (in addition to being attractive too.  You know what I mean – the womean are good looking.  So the cat’s a dog.  Big surprise, eh?)  I will be renting more of the series.

On Monday, I went back to Blockbuster and asked if I could trade disc 5 for disc 4, and saw the same female manager who was there the day I rented them, when the computers froze up and I needed cash (I wrote about that day a few posts back).  Anyway, she remembered me and said "of course – go pick it out" so I was able to get disc 4 for 5.  Gotta watch ’em in sequence, ya know.

Here I am on my couch, with Blacky Cat, who usually doesn’t do this:

But then, I don’t often sit on the couch anyway. preferring to sit here at my desk.  I like my cat on my lap (brings to mind a joke of some kind… pussy on my lap or some nonsense).  He was purring too.

Tonight is LOST night, so I’ll catch the new one on TV, but it isn’t on for an hour and a half, so I think I’ll eat dinner and watch last week’s episode online.  I dunno if I’ve ever mentioned this, but cable internet rocks.  I can watch TV online and uploading pics to Photobucket takes way less time than it did on dial-up.

Misc work things:

I spoke to the asst. director today and got a copy of my three month’s eval.  I am very pleased with it.  They are pleased with me.  I like this job a lot.

Before the break, I wrote several Referrals for the Elementary School kids on my bus.  One of them’s off for good, and several are off the bus this week, and a few are off the bus for the month.  My god, the bus is still full, and they are still in need of learning about how to ride the school bus, but there is definate progress being made.

My former wife called me "determined" and I guess maybe that’s true, cuz I am determined to learn these kids how to ride the school bus, and I have determined that I will take this route too for the new school year. It’ll give them, and me, some consistancy, and damn if I’m going to give up when the going gets rough.

I should get my new glasses soon – the place I went to isn’t one of those "glasses in about an hour" kind of places, and the glasses are that much better quality so will be worth the wait.  I went all out ordering them – Photo-brown ("Transitions") lenses with anti-reflective coatings, polorized, polished edges in the rimless frames, two year guarantee against scratching – the works.  I will be ordering some new suglasses at a later point.  I want to get brown lenses with a bronze mirror finish.  I’ll be getting a stick too, cuz I’ll be so awesome lookin’ I’ll have to beat ’em off…with a stick.

Well, a guy can fantasize, eh?

Interestingly, there were 40 or more views of the last post, which was like, very significant to me and my life, but only about a third of them left any kind of notes.  I seem to have a lot of Portland readers these days.  Fuck, I’m damn near famous, in an anonymous sort of way.  Fulfilling another of my life’s goals, you know.

At the moment, I like this life a lot.

ICBW.
