Finallly, a new episode of LOST is on tonight. I'm so excited. The show is so new, and inventive, and intriguing. Anyone could die at any time, because there is no real main character. Wait, give me a chance to explain, take for example Alias. You know that Jennifer Garner will always appear alive again no matter how many times she gets shot, tortured, blown up, double crossed, etc. In Lost, anything could happen at any time. Oh, the suspense. Goody goody.
Awhile ago Tami directed me to
Oceanic Flight 815 website, and I just now checked it out. For all LOST fans, it is a must; discussion boards, videos, pictures, everything you could ask for.
As of last week I have finally read all of Dan Brown's books (who now happens to occupy the place as my favorite author); Angels and Demons, DaVinci Code, Deception Point, and Digital Fortress. All captivating, all highly controversial, and brilliant. I only worry that he has become a bit delusional. I watched a documentary about the Davinci Code and Dan Brown said he was starting believe some the strange conspiracy theories that he writes about. I am worried that he has spent too much time researching and has lost touch with the real world. Even so, my favorite aspect about his books (aside from the suspense/mystery) is the way he expertly weaves fact and fiction together.
For the past 4 years I have gotten my parents Christmas gifts that bombed. This year it has not... yet. On the brink of 'quitting Christmas'; I got them tickets to see Wynton Marsalis at the 
So in my last ditch effort to learn some Spanish before I leave (in only 7 days now), I've been reading blogs written in Spanish by random people. (I've included a map of where Malaga is in case anyone wants to know where I'll be studying abroad.) I think it has actually been helping me. I have learned some slang and can read Spanish relatively well. The only bad thing remains: I can't speak it. They talk too fast, I comprehend too slow. I am so screwed. On a brighter note, another reason to blog: for the benefit of those trying to learn your language (The easiest to understand are the ones with pictures). I also stumbled upon the 
Believe it or not, I watched American Idol for the first time tonight even though I have liked Kelly Clarkson for the past 4 years. I only like the begining and end of talent search shows. I like to see how they pick the contestants out of everyone who tries out, as well as the competition at the end between the really good people; but the whole middle is long and boring. I also started watching dancing with the stars this season too. I think I like it better than American Idol because dancing is a bit more interesting to watch.
Yesterday we had a fun get together at my house before school starts again (Frowny face on the school starting again part). Today we watched Moulin Rouge and A Knights Tale. Wow, I had no idea Moulin Rouge was going to employ the creepy factor. I thought it was going to be classy and such, but it definitely was not what I expected. It was like watching a car wreck, a bit disturbing but you can't really turn away.

Nooooo, I just found the most beautiful black coat in the world. It was calf length, pretty black wool, button down, and the hood was lined with elegant black fur. It fit me perfectly. I took it up to the register expecting it to be 70% off like the sign above the rack said, but no, it rang up much more expensive. I had the sales clerk come over to where I got it to prove it was 70% off, but the sign had deceived me-- it was "up to 70% off." Now I am depressed, I really liked the coat, but I couldn't justify the expense. If only I weren't so logical all the time; not just with shopping, but with everything in life. Spontatnaity is the spice of life, and I think I am lacking it. My life is dull.
