Okay. This was actually pretty enjoyable.

The golf game was classic. Hurley, you’re adorable.

Sawyer. Yeah, after you’re back-story last week, I think I should just accept that I do in fact, kinda like you. Just kinda though. And give up on the Kate thing, because it’s really just not going to happen. And now I have flashes back to the Logan and Jean conversation in X2. ‘I can be the good guy.’ That Kate and Jean comparison is going to be in my head for a while now.

And, DELENN! I actually did almost yell that at the television screen, because, it was Delenn. I really need to get my hands on the Babylon 5 DVDs. Mia Furlan sounded a lot like when she was playing Delenn too. Her very presence was a very interesting twist. I’m very intrigued, I admit.

As for Sayid’s back-story. I think they handled the Iraq element pretty well and it hasn’t made me like him any less.

Charlie, of course, was as wonderful as always.

And I liked the little touches they added with Michael and Walt. He hasn’t actually been his father for that long and so things like leaving the kid by himself would escape him. It’s interesting and I admit I’m just waiting for him to go missing, or get into trouble, because it’s inevitable really. Have kid, will endanger his life and scare the hell out his parent.

All the characters I like, at least in passing, are male. This is sad. I must admit I do think Claire and Charlie/Claire’s burgeoning relationship is very cute though.

Also, I love the Canterbury Public Library, if only for their rather extensive graphic novel collection that I am making my way through at a rather alarming rate. I have now read up to Vol 4 of Sandman, and I really need to read the rest because Neil Gaiman, your imagination is a wonder.

Keeping with that theme, they have recently built a Borders in Riccarton Mall and that mall is fucking huge, it’s almost a whole suburb out there < / hyperbole>. Anyway, Borders. Very, very nice. Especially the graphic novel department but also the history books and the music. They even have America: The Book there, which I flicked through and which I am going to have to buy. They’re not really any cheaper than any bookstores we already have here but the variety is pretty damn amazing.

Also, the world conspires against me. I could tape House this week because they played a movie on TV2 instead of the OC but no, who forgot to check her VCR's clock was reset after daylight savings ended? That would be me. Woe.

I seriously considered how easy it would be for me to move to Wellington the other day. My friend over MSN yesterday did point out that I would effectively be living a very similar life to I am now, but without my friends, which is a fair point, but only in a way as I wouldn't be living in my parent's house which is a pretty big change. Anyway, it was damn tempting for an hour there. A little too tempting.

Need to find someone to go to the Jack Johnson concert with me. His voice is just gorgeous and he sounds so good live. I have the money, I have the time but a concert is one thing I can't go to by myself. Movies? Sure, do it all the time. Plays? Have done before and it was fine. Music concerts? Not so much.

Ah, a NZ cricket batting collapse. I've been wondering where you've been all day. I take far too much delight in how much NZ sucks at cricket when playing Australia.
