'lost' in the dark

once again i was kind of money with idol. i think 1 of my bottom 2 has gone home 3 or 4 weeks in a row now, pretty sweet.

as great as idol has been, lost is really starting to get on my nerves. i was all about this show last season - easily one of the top 3 shows on tv. this season they're driving it straight into the ground. they're getting nowhere with this current plot line. henry was fun for a week or two, but nothing has been done. the fact they have to create these 'huge, unbelievable, startling, amazing, you're-not-going-to-believe-what-happens-next' twists EVERY week tells me they have no idea what they're doing and they're just jonesing for viewers. you had me, you lost me. get it? hey-oh! they did teach everyone a valuable lesson that most college football programs could use - you get caught drinking and driving, you get shot.

wedding planning - good times. we just need to find a dj (suggestions in chicago?), invitations and rings. we actually found invitations we like, we just haven't done anything about it. save the date cards will be going out this weekend, i swear. yeah, they were supposed to go out in january, but what are you gonna do? other than that, i don't really have much to report. i feel like we should be doing something, but i'm not sure what.

sopranos - i was a little late (and by a little i mean 5.5 seasons) getting into sopranos, but now i'm addicted. i'm on season 3 thanks to my dear friends at netflix. watching them consecutively, i have to say i feel they jumped the shark a little with season three, especially in the first episode. lots of weird camera effects and angles, crazy music with 3 songs playing at the same time, and much less violence. it picked up after the second episode, but the first 2 seasons were by far better. at least for now.

cubs suck.
