I Suck At Lost

Last night, Karen and I hung out with my friends (Marc, Kelley, and Andrea). On the agenda for the night: the latest episode of Lost.

Too bad I suck at Lost. Without giving anything away, the episode was good. I thought the episode was much better than the previous week's. Realistically, how could the episode not be better than last week's? Last week the episode featured Kate... and well, I'm not exactly a big fan of the wishy-washy Kate. It probably goes without saying that Kate is probably my least favorite character on the show. (I sometimes wonder out of all the characters on the show, why the writers couldn't have killed Kate off by now?)

I think many of my other friends share the same sentiments. Although, Andrea doesn't seem to mind Kate as much. I think Andrea's least favorite character is Jack. And naturally, everyone loves Sawyer. Marc would watch a spin-off show of just Sawyer and Hurley if they had one.

If Karen and I end up having a baby boy, I think I would like to teach him the ways of being the literary archetype known as the "lovable rogue". Kelley actually brought to my attention the term. I figured teaching my son to be a lovable rogue has its advantages. Most importantly, the lovable rogue always gets the girl in the end. Han Solo... got the girl... Pacey... got the girl. (It also lends credence to the fact that women like bad boys.)

The only reason why I even brought up the topic is because... well... Sawyer is the lovable rogue in Lost. So if Karen and I are lucky and we have a boy, then little Squashy (the name of the baby this week... again) can be a rogue and get the girls. Yes, I have it all planned out. Unfortunately, I'm not much of the rogue archetype despite my instigating ways... so teaching Squashy to be one may be difficult.

Regardless, the night was great as usual. Marc made lettuce wraps. The wraps were very delicious. Kelley as well made a lemon tart which was also yummy. All in all, dinner was fantastic.

Speaking of Marc, he landed a new cool sounding gig. Congratulations again! He'll be working for a few months at some science company. Unlike my friend's (Hot Amy) significant other, Marc will probably not be a sanitation engineer. (Snicker.) I'm just having fun. I'm actually happy that Marc got the job. I know he's been itching to do something again. So it'll be good.

Anyway, it was a great night as usual. I had a lot of fun hanging out with everyone and watching Lost.
