Slow news day.

Am I the only one suddenly obsessed with Olympic Curling? I even spent an hour learning all the rules and whatnot so I could know what the hell is going on. I find the women's way more interesting than the men's. I think because they employ more strategy and don't just resort to brute force as much. They are a little easier on the eyes as well. The USA vs Canada game was awesome.

I turn 35 on Thursday. I'll finally be out of the coveted male 18-34 demographic that television and advertisers hold so dear. They will no longer want my money. Which is a relief because I was sick of buying Star Wars stuff anyway. On to retirement funds and mini-vans!

Regardless, I am stoked for the new Dr. Who. I'm a little nervous because they have a whole new production team, they're re-designing everything and the new Doc looks to be about 12. But, I'm excited for exactly the same reasons. I just hope they aren't trying to go all Twilight-y on us.

Last night Jennifer made me some awesome burritos and we had the family over. She also made this sickeningly wonderful cake that the boys decorated with little sugar Go, Go Diego heads and bits of Heath bar. Greatness.

LOST

(Spoilers)

So I thought Locke was the Island. Turns out he's the Smoke Monster made incarnate. Which has happened before with Yemi, so that part is not so weird. What's weird is that the Shark in the beginning had a Dharma tattoo on its tail. So if the bomb even went off at all, since the flash of light may have just been "The Incident", as Jin alluded to, does time reset with the plane in 2004, or with the explosion in 1977? If it is 2004, then everything is hunky-dorie and they all just go on with their lives. If it is 1977, then any number of things could have changed. I think it is the latter, as things are already weird.

Discuss.
