Like the one I fell into yesterday. *g* Actually, I just decided to take the day off from both writing and blogging. It’s hard sitting at my desk and keeping my foot/ankle elevated. But it’s also hard sitting in a more comfortable spot and putting my laptop on my lap. My legs always seem to go to sleep when I try that.

Anyway. Watched Spiderman 2 last night. I’d recorded it over a year ago, so I thought it was about time to actually watch it. It was fun.

Last night, I started re-reading my Mary Stewart books. Read Madam, Will You Talk? last night. And started My Brother Michael.

And I realized something. My Alex in the Kitchen Sink Book is somewhat similar to some of the heroes in Stewart’s books. Very alpha. He’d give the earth and moon to protect Maddie (not that she’s incapable of protecting herself—she’s not much of a Stewart heroine *g*). Strong. Sometimes comes across as the silent type, though he’s not with Maddie or his friends. Definitely dangerous. In fact, rather like Lord Byron, Alex could be considered mad, bad, and dangerous to know.

There’s nothing on TV tonight until after 10pm when I’ll be recording Dead Famous, so it’ll be recorded stuff again tonight. I think I’ll go with the first three episodes of Threshold which I recorded awhile back. I’m in the mood for something skiffy.

Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of the first and original Star Wars. I hate to admit it, but I didn’t see it when it was first released. I think I saw it two or three years later. I loved it, of course.

My uncle’s thoroughbred ran last night. She came in second!!! That’s the best any of his horses has done since I’ve been keeping track. I’m so happy for him.

Since we had reruns last night, I watched recorded shows. Cities of the Underground: Edinburgh was quite interesting. I learned some things about the city I never knew before. Then I watched 1000 Places to See Before You Die: Cambodia. It wasn’t quite as interesting. They didn’t spend nearly enough time at Angkor Wat. Oh well.

On the writing front, I wrote about a page and a half, I think. Maddie poked at a sore spot of Alex’s last night. He stalked out of the room, so she had to drag the information out of his friend/general factotum. Poor Alex has a dark past involving spies, Siberia, and most likely torture. I’m thinking some of these scenes I’m writing are going to end up in a different order than I have them right now.

I came across this on Devon’s blog:

Your Score: Myrna Loy

You scored 14% grit, 23% wit, 33% flair, and 38% class!

You are class itself, the calm, confident “perfect woman.” Men turn and look at you admiringly as you walk down the street, and even your rivals have a grudging respect for you. You always know the right thing to say, do and, of course, wear. You can take charge of a situation when things get out of hand, and you’re a great help to your partner even if they don’t immediately see or know it. You are one classy dame. Your screen partners include William Powell and Cary Grant, you little simmerpot, you.

Plus I get a really cool dog named Asta. *g*

WHAT the heck was the deal with that freaky weird flash forward (as opposed to a flashback)??? I knew there was something strange about that sequence from the get-go, but I didn’t expect it be from the future! And if it was the future why did Jack tell that doctor to get his dad (Jack’s) down there to see who was more drunk? And who did Kate need to get back to? Sawyer? And who died and nobody went to the funeral? The only person I can think of who wouldn’t have anyone at his funeral is Ben. But that seems unlikely. i guess we’ll find out eventually. Maybe. *g*

But back to the present-time portion of the show. Wow. I loved the rest of it.

Lots of questions (what a shocker! ), but some answers, too. Did Charlie really die? Skinny as he is, I kept thinking he could have escaped through that porthole. And how does Patchy keep coming back from the dead??? That’s TWICE now! But with that diving equipment, why couldn’t Des have swam around and shoved an air tank for Charlie through the porthole?

So, Naomi wasn’t affiliated with Penny Widmore like she told everyone. So who was she really? Does the freighter belong to Penny’s dad?

Danielle finally got to meet her daughter. They bonded while tying up Ben (after Jack beat the living daylights out of him ).

Locke had a vision of Walt (who’s grown a LOT!) who told Locke to get up because he had work to do. I guess the work included killing Naomi so she couldn’t call her ship full of whoever the heck they are.

But the thing that really pisses me off is we have to wait until freaking 2008 for the next season!!!

Why were the Others building a runway? Or were they? We only have Juliet’s word for that.

Love, love, LOVED that Hurley saved the day (in regards to Sayid, Bernard & Jin) with his Volkswagen bus!!!

There is absolutely nothing on tonight, so I’ll be catching up on recorded stuff. Not sure which, though.

I may not have a clue where I’m going with the Kitchen Sink Book, but it certainly isn’t stopping me from writing. I managed three pages again last night! One of the problems of inter-dimensional travel occurred to me last night. Maddie, our heroine, has no identification of any kind for the world she’s in. That could make getting married to Alex a bit of a problem. *g*
