I Suck At Lost

On Tuesday, Karen and I hung out with my friends (Marc and Kelley).

Marc was gracious enough to make a chicken casserole dish for dinner. It was very good. And it was gluten-free, not that I have to worry about that or anything. (Knock on wood.)

Anyway, we decided to watch a couple of episodes of Angel before the real festivities began. The episodes that we watched were: "Double or Nothing" about Gunn's deal to sell his soul for a truck; and "The Price" about a slug infestation due to the use of dark magic. Incidentally, "The Price" also featured the return of Connor (a.k.a. the Destroyer). The moniker "The Destroyer" is fitting because Connor, in my opinion, destroyed the show... quite possibly the Whedonverse. As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of Connor.

Shortly after, my friend (Andrea) arrived. Andrea was joining us for the next episode of Lost. Unfortunately, I suck at Lost. As usual, the episode was good. The episode probably would have been better were it not featuring the character known as Kate. (Is Kate the Lost version of Connor? Maybe.)

Needless to say, the five of us had a great time hanging out watching the show. As a bonus, Andrea brought baked goods. They were good. Some of the topics of discussion that came up during the commercial breaks were things like the author, Dennis Lehane. (We happened to see the commercial for the movie, Shutter Island.) I think I would like to read some of his books... just to see how they are. Lord knows his writing has to be ten times better than Stephenie Meyer's (of Twilight fame).

That is, of course, not to say that I won't finish reading the rest of the Twilight series. As one who likes to complete things, I am somewhat compelled to read the rest of the series and hope that all the main characters die a horrible death. (I can only hope.)

Aside from that, there were other silly topics of discussion like how Rajon Rondo, point guard of the Boston Celtics, would be a Drow. That would be nerd-lingo for a type of elf. Oh yes, as well, we discussed interview experiences. Marc has an upcoming interview (good luck Marc!) and a bunch of us reminisced about our past interview experiences. It was interesting.

At my former company, the president of the company used to always ask "If you could be an animal, what animal would you be and why?" during the interview process. In my current snarky state, I would probably answer "Tiger Woods... for the sex, money and fame". Regardless, the question was supposed to be one of those abstract thinking types of questions.

The president used to pride himself on being such a great interviewer. Yet, he seems to have a hazy memory that many of his highly recommended hires did not pan out. One hire only lasted a couple of days. Oh well.

All in all, it was a fun night. I had a good time as usual.
