Ah, the end is near.
Sunday will be the final episode of Lost.
I have watched Lost from day one and let me tell you something, friends.
I don't give a shit how it ends. I'm so over this show, seriously. They aren't going to answer the major questions and everyone acts like it's the greatest show ever made.
It's not.
Dexter is.
I'll tape the finale on Sunday, but I don't know when I'll watch it. I don't care if the spoilers hit before I see it because I just don't care about it anymore.
Goodbye and good riddance!

Survivor 20: Heroes vs. Villians
Sandra should not have won. At first, I didn't really care, but the more I think about it, the more I believe they got it wrong.
First off - Russell is an amazing player. He's not the smartest - just as Boston Rob said, he plays to get to the final 3, but he doesn't play to win. He doesn't realize the ramifications of his actions. Sure, you can manipulate people and call them names all you want, but in the end, when those are the people that you are leaving your fate to, you miiiight wanna think twice before you call them stupid.
I am tired of the players voting for the 'nicest' person, or the most 'genuine' person to win. The fact of the matter is, Russell got the final 3 twice in a row by PLAYING THE GAME BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. He should have won.
Ok, so let's appreciate the fact that the Jury was bitter. Sandra STILL should not have won. Parvati plays just as good of a game as Russell, but she works it like he can't - she gets people to laugh with her and love her, even after stabbing them in the back.
Still boggles my mind that Sandra won not once, but twice, and has never, EVER won a challenge. Amazing. I stand by what I said that she should not have won. At least the viewers got it right with the Fan Favorite awarded to Russell for the second time in a row.

My Story
T.V. has always been an integral part of my life. I can remember being very young when we got "cable." Cable, in the 70's, was a rectangular pad, attached to the television with a wire, where you punched in channel numbers. I can't recall how many channels we had, but it wasn't a ton. I remember being the only house in the neighborhood that had it, that I knew of.
Technology soon moved to the set-top box, that had loud push buttons and a switch to the left, to control which line of channels you were choosing from. My life after school was filled with re-runs: Three's Company, What's Happenin', Mork & Mindy, Happy Days- all the 70's greats.
Not to say that I was a couch potato, because I actually spent a lot of time socializing with friends, even *gasp* outside. I tell you what, though - when we got an Atari, my house was the place to be. Space Invaders, Missile Command, Asteroids, you get the point.
I have fond memories of watching shows like St. Elsewhere and Family Ties with my parents. All those infamous After School Specials were sucked in with reckless abandon. Let's not forget School House Rock, either. Classic.
I am, for lack of a better definition, obsessed with television shows. DVR is the most wonderful invention on the planet and has helped to feed this wonderful addiction that I have.
I am lucky to have married a man with a similar addiction for television and movies. Thank goodness, but if I hadn't, I'd probably be divorced. My DVR list is stunning. I record all types of shows. I believe I've turned my youngest into just as much of an addict as I am. We watch a lot of shows together.
In fact, today was a special day for Z. He got to stay home from school because of his mother's T.V. addiction. Last night was the finale of the current season of Survivor and since I had to work, I DVR'd it. Well, there was no way possible that I could wait until he got home from school today to watch it, I made him a deal last week that he could stay home from school today and we'd have a T.V. Day.
And a glorious day it was. Survivor Finale, Family Guy, Cleveland Show, Desperate Housewives, Degrassi: The Next Generation. Yes, I'm a dork.
However, I refuse to apologize. T.V. makes me happy. Join me in my addiction, won't you?
