The ups and downs of the week:
BIG Up: Finally watched the second episode of the new season of LOST (the single best Network show on TV), and was blown out of my knickers when in the first five minutes, Jeremy Davies’ character, sits on a couch crying watching footage of Oceanic 815, when a kyron pops up to tell us he is in Essex, Massachusetts!. Yes dear readers, my hometown, population 2,800, where I was born raised and still reside. Home of the Fried Clam! BIZZARE. Think about it, you are a mid-thirties male sitting on your couch watching your favorite show, one that you have written about many a time, when there on the screen, a male character in his mid-thirties sits on his couch watching TV when the words Essex Massachusetts appear on the screen. Talk about freakish and chilling recursive loops. Yes, I looked around me a couple of times and asked my wife repeatedly if she saw it as well. Eerie LOST-like Coincidence? Perhaps not. Let’s just say the mind of Executive Producer and frequent Director, Jack Bender is a steel trap. Touché Mr. Bender, while you may have won this round be prepared for battle. And yes, more than one person called and asked me if I knew Daniel Faraday.
BIG Down: Depressed about No Depression. Other than the incomparable rag that signs my paychecks, No Depression’s coverage of my favorite genre of music was first grade, top notch, and downright badass. A shot of Jack in your honor, may you someday rise from the ashes.
Small Down: Shooting down the spy satellite. Wouldn’t it have been so much cooler to take bets on where this thing would have landed. Talk about a modern twist on Jackson’s The Lottery. I say let the sucker fall. My bet is karma has a sense of humor. Watch out Cheney.
Small Up: Spiders on drugs and Tootie holding a bong, why facebook is better than Myspace:
