Lent and Lost.

Ups and downs, rounds and rounds. I seem to be going from to the other at the moment, and I really have no clue why. Maybe its winter blues. My life is pretty good at he moment and I know that, but something small will go wrong and I just don't seem to be able to take it quite as well as I normally can. take BUNAC for example, I booked my interview for next weekend, the 17th, and have to fill my form in and get two references by then. Should be easy. Yet yesterday it all seemed so daunting, and I just wanted to pack it all in. Granted I had just played two games of hockey and was absolutely knackered. I dunno, its odd, its not like I expect everything to be a walk in the park.

Anyway. Last night I was knackered so I thought I'd finish off my seminar prep then watch some more Lost. As with everything I'm years behind everyone else, I never used to watch TV when I was at home, I was never around at the same time everyweek to watch a series, and if I did watch TV I normally watched what my parents watched. Then I came to uni and had no TV.

Anyway I downloaded the first series of Lost last year and really enjoyed it. Instead of watching one episode at a time, I'd watch two or three, as each episode left you hanging on. At the time many people told me the first series was good and the next two crap. At the time I refused to believe it, cos the first series was SO good. But now, I'm struggling my way through the second series. My friend lent me the boxset, which is just as well given how slow my internet is this year, but I just can't get into it in the same way. Despite episodes being a good length to watch, it just seems such a task.

Its all become far too unbelievable, I know it was never believable what with polar bears and the like, but really, a button you have to press every 108 minutes or the world ends, perleaseee. Not only that but the plot isn't really going anywhere anymore. They just seem to go off and do one thing or another, week after week, not achieving anything. Take the episode I watched last night for example, Episode 19, SOS, they don't even bother with making the sign. If they've lost interest in getting off the island, the island can't be all that dangerous afterall, and as such I've lost interest. Excuse the pun. And worst of all I've been told series 3 is just as bad.

All this makes me question, with the fourth series now showing, is it really worth the effort to carry on? It bugs me, cos I do want the answers to some of the questions, but when they'll ever be answered you just can't say, there could be aseries 5, 6 and 7 before anything gets solved. It does my head in.

Rant over, I guess. I think i'll give it to the end of the series then if it doesn't manage to give the series a good cliff hanger I'll just give up.

I made a decision earlier, all be it a fairly stupid one. I'm giving up chocolate for Lent. I'm not religious, so its nothing to do with that. I've always been curious as to whether I could actually give up chocolate for an extended period of time, and Lent does at least provide that timeframe. Also one of my friends is doing it, so it'll be easier to bug each other. And I'm on a bit of a heath kick at the moment, I'm getting back into my exercise, and I'd love to just boot out some of the crap I eat and tone up. So yes, watch this space on that one. I think as soon as the essay deadlines draw near I'll be screwed to be honest, but we'll see.

PS. I'm pregnant. Apparently.
