I'm not dead yet!

lls_mutantUgh. This sinus infection has knocked me flat on my ass. Yesterday was the first day I actually felt like getting up off the couch at all. I still don't feel great- I just felt like I could move.
We had a tiny little snowfall of maybe two inches. Being from various regions of the true upstate New York (aka- defined as more than just "not New York City"), it never ceases to amuse or annoy me how two little inches of snow freaks the entire community out around here. All the schools were on a two hour delay. Fortunately, Toby's preschool was run by people with sense, and they had class. And I'm very glad, because I was feeling guilty about not being able to take Toby out to play in the snow. Between me being sick and Trevor still having an ear infection, it just wasn't possible. But when we were at school, one of my friends (Toby's best buddy's mom) offered that I could bring Toby over for the afternoon and leave him. This was the first time I've done that- actually leave Toby to play. Mainly because he's just getting into the right age where he's pretty self-sufficient for a few hours, and he actually plays with other kids. Plus, Trevor's old enough now that I'm comfortable reciprocating.
Anyway, it went great. The boys had a blast, and my friend said she barely had to do a thing for a while because they were so busy playing with the dinosaurs. When I came they were all playing outside, and they were obviously having a great time. Her little boy is a joy and we have similar parenting styles, so next week I think we're having a little company. And I got a little rest- I didn't sleep, but Trevor did, so I could put my feet up and relax.
I stayed up way too late the other night watching LOST.
John Locke being a manifestation of the Smoke Monster was pretty cool. I'm assuming he's also the man in black from the way-back flashbacks. I'm also assuming that Jacob downloaded/imprinted on Sayid. I mean, the Jesus imagery wasn't too heavy there, was it? right now, I'm kind of favoring the battle of angels sort of scenario between these two, and that Richard is some sort of lesser angel.
I'm bummed Juliet is dead. I love Juliet, and I like Juliet/Sawyer a LOT more than I ever liked Kate/Sawyer. I don't like Kate, and Juliet seemed to be really good for Sawyer. He seemed not only happy with her, but at peace, and comfortable in his own skin. Plus, I really don't like Kate. (Of course, I really don't like Jack, either. He and Kate can go off together and be unlikeable, leaving Sawyer and Juliet to be awesome, as far as I'm concerned.)
I kind of feel like my investment in any of these characters is just... dead. Don't get me wrong, I'm still interested in the show. But the time travel makes my head hurt, and Lost is one of those shows I just can't even guess where it's going. My OTP for the show was killed off long ago (Claire/Charlie, when he wasn't being Mr. Stalker- and at least Claire let him know when he was and that it was NOT acceptable), and I've felt that ever since... I don't know, Season 2? Season 3? It's been less character-driven and more plot driven. It's not really a complaint, but I'm not exactly crying when characters die. Of course, that might be because I'm not convinced they won't come back to life in an episode or two.
Oh well.
Hoping to get some writing done today- my writing mojo has been shot while I've been sick. But I really ought to write a review of something, I've got the Vinnie the One ficlet for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
grey_sw and the Gaeta/Hoshi one for kappamaki33. But they might all get trumped by Not Where I Belong, because I'm almost to a scene I've been DYING to write for a long, long time. But I think I need to deal with kidlets first.

I hope you feel better from the sinus infection. Those are the worst. D:

Date: 2010-02-04 08:17 pm (UTC)And the whole bondage/drugging thing was kind of creepy but I kind of thought it was hot.They just have the cutest mentor/student relationship which I am a sucker for.I also have a weird die hard OTP thing for Starbuck and Sawyer, which is pretty nonsensical but I want them to have five kids and consider Ellen and Saul as the grandparents. I think they would be the best family. It may be because they're not in the same show so I can imagine Kara not being a bitch to him like she is to Sam and Lee.
Damn, I need a LOST icon. (Edit: Oh hay, LOST icon.)
