It’s still hard, at six o’clock in the morning…

(Possible Lost spoilers below)

If I work on a Tuesday or Thursday, it’s always at the same school. This is because they’re finished at 2:03, getting me out of the building at 2:15 and to the college before 3. My first class is at 4:30, so I like having that bit of time to prepare.

Of course, the day ending at 2:03 means it starts really really early. Homeroom bell is at 7:28. Ack. I have a really difficult time leaving the house before 7. It takes about 20 minutes to get there, and in a perfect world, I would arrive at 7:15, giving me a little bit of breathing room.

Today, I almost made it.

What I failed to consider was that my car would need to be cleaned off.

There wasn’t a significant amount of snow, but since it had changed from rain to snow, there was that coating of icy crud on the windows underneath the snow that had to be scraped off. Ugh. There’s nothing I hate more than scraping ice off my car. This is the kind of morning when a remote starter would be heaven.

A couple of quick notes on Lost (really the only show I’m watching on a regular basis. I kind of gave up on Alias, and my West Wing viewing has been sporadic. I hate that it’s on Sunday night. Generally, the idea that shows will soon be out on DVD has made me less concerned about missing things.):

I liked getting the back story of the other survivors. I completely forgot about the freaky radio transmission!

Hey, it’s that guy from Ed! Totally not one of the Others, but it was a nice fakeout, I thought.

How freaking creepy are The Others? And when do we get their story?

I didn’t like having to wait another week to see what happens with Shannon. (Although, let’s be honest…we all know what happens with Shannon. Just when I was starting to like her.)

  1. I had also forgotten about the weird radio transmission, and it was nice that they didn’t take weeks and weeks to catch us up on the “Tailies” story…(I kinda expected JJ to take that route.)

    Alias has become background noise while I do other things, and that makes me very, very sad, but I know I’ll eventually just see it all at once on DVD.

  2. How do I get to your Lost discussion group? I did get an e-mail from you, but I think I managed to botch up figuring out how to get over there.

    Really liked last night’s Lost. It’s going to be cool seeing the Lostaways and Tailaways interact. Can’t wait to see the interaction between John Locke and Mr. Eko.

  3. Why did the Others not take people from the main group of survivors, but they took 9 people–from a list!–from the rear-plan survivors. Ethan Rom is an anagram for Other Man… so he was an infiltrator in the same way that what’s-his-name was on the other side of the island. And Ethan Rom was able to get to the main survivor group quickly, so don’t tell me the Others are too far away from that group of survivors.
