Grrrrrrr......

UPDA TE:
Forget everything below.
Why?
Because my DVR didn't fucking record it. Pardon my French, but can you imagine how absolutely consumed with hatred I am right now?
Why was the red "record" light on when it apparently wasn't actually recording anything? I don't know.
Why did I bother to come home at 7:30 to make sure it was set to record the 8 o'clock replay and the new episode, and then go back to school to finish my sub plans? I don't know.
Why has it recorded both episodes at the same time every week for eight weeks until tonight? I don't know.
Why do I still insist on sticking with Charter for my cable? I don't know.
Will my remote work after I slammed it repeatedly on the floor? I don't know.
I can't wait until Charter shows up on Saturday so I can tell them what a piece of shite their DVRs are. The hi-def one I'm getting better not do this...

Off to download it from a website and watch it on my computer - if I can even concentrate on it.
So I don't know when I'm posting now. Stay tuned, I guess.

To quote Sawyer, "Son of a BITCH!"

No way. 
OMG! 
Can you believe when... 
I cried. 
That. Just. Happened.
I just don't know what to say.
What does that mean?!

These are things I WISH I could legitimately say right now, but...

Hello, my blog-following friends,
I'm afraid I had to be more "teacher" than "Dharma" tonight, and have yet to see the latest episode, which I know was supposed to be about Richard Alpert, but I don't even know what the title was - and that is on purpose, of course; spoiler-free!

I'm playing hooky from school tomorrow to take care of some things, and so I had to write up my sub plans. Needless to say, I got home around 9:30 tonight (but hey, I get summers off, right?), and so I've had to wait until the episode was over to be able to watch it. This also means that I have yet to eat dinner, which I am doing pronto. But I didn't want to leave any of you in the lurch, so I'd thought I'd post a quick explanation.

So, for those of you furiously texting me during the past hour-and-a-half (I'm looking at you, Toniann...), now you know why I've been ignoring you, for fear of being spoiled. I will text you back after I finally watch it tonight. And yes, I WILL be watching it tonight.

Posting tonight? Well, that's a little more dicey... I will likely post something later tonight, but what that something is, I have no idea; probably just some initial thoughts. I should also tell you that I've been struggling with an intermittent internet connection here at home, which is going to be looked at on Saturday, so even if I do make an attempt to post something, it may not actually appear.

So now that I'm through whining and making excuses, long story short:
  • A brief-ish post tonight (or, at this point, this morning to you) 
  • A longer one later (because I have a feeling I'm going to want to reeeeeally talk about this one!) on Wednesday.
Alright? Alright.

And now, something you might have been saying yourself at the end of tonight's episode - click here.


I shall return...

Charter IS awful, but in Newtown, I don't think we have an alternative. Too many trees for the dish/ Direct TV, alas.
