Here’s a couple shots for you guys:
Get Lost?
So… I’m a big fan of Lost.
There aren’t too many shows that I’m obsessively interested in these days (and not just because the Writer’s Strike has crippled the current season.) This show just involves my brain on so many levels that I actually find myself willing the week to pass so that I can see the next episode. It’s terrible to wish one’s life away, I know, and I tend to admonish myself for such thoughts but, still… The wait for Thursday night at nine seems awfully long.
To pass the time in between shows, I talk with friends about what the hell is a happening on that island and read everything I can- that is not a spoiler- in hopes of putting together the puzzle. Recently, while attempting to convert a non-believer, I likened the depth of the show’s content to a T.S. Eliot poem. Perhaps it’s not quite art on the same level; but the meaning given to every little detail in the show is amazing.
If you don’t watch, start now. ABC is streaming all of the three previous seasons on their website (and new episodes are added the day after they air.) You’ll thank me later.
If you do watch, may I suggest Lostpedia as a source for more details that you may have missed. These guys are watching the show with notepads and are collecting all of the minutiae in an ordered, easy to search site. If you are really into the show, you can create an account and start contributing. I have just begun, myself.
This leads me to link #3. I’ve created a Lost Theories page on my site (the link can always be found in the upper right, under “Pages”) where I’ll be trying to condense my various, wild ideas about the show into words. Check it regularly for changes and leave a comment if you think I’m nuts or if you agree!
One more thing! If you’re a fan and you haven’t heard, you’ll be thrilled to know that our strike shortened season has been extended from eight episodes to thirteen! There will be a four to five week break after the initial eight shows followed by five more shows. I can’t wait. Oh, and please don’t call the house on Thursdays after nine, okay? Thanks.
Progess
Things are coming along.
You’ll notice the old posts that I managed to salvage from my Blogger.com blog below. Also, I have begun salvaging the old website. For now, you can see it here.
I’d like to thank Timothy Brown for the stellar photo of Wilco at Merriweather Post Pavilion. I blurred it up for kicks but you can see the original version here.
Here’s a shot I took of Wilco at Bonnaroo:
Yeah, my location wasn’t the best for my old camera.
This shot came out nicely, though.
That’s Nels Cline. He plays guitar in Wilco but, in that shot, he’s playing with the Scott Amendola Band. Theirs was one of my favorite sets at Bonnaroo.
