In which FHC feels a little lost

LL and I have quietly but surely progressed on the Lost thread (Season II now) yesterday until the obscenely late hour of 11 p.m. (our target is an average of 3-4 episodes a day until my departure: 2 before work, 2 after) confirming our initial impression that 'There are only two sensations associated with watching Lost: boredom and terror' [to paraphrase Orson Welles]. It’s not really an addictive show; the real problem is that we refuse to cut our losses (a bit like the Iraq issue): we have invested so much in watching season I that we cannot stop even if we are bored to tears.

But we are not completely wasting out time either. We have been extensively discussing what would be our respective behavior if we were the ones stranded on a (semi)desert island full of mean “others” and unbelievably attractive survivors. LL elected to “curl in a ball, hyperventilate and die instantly”. I personally went for a more practical “becoming Eko’s bitch”. I also started thinking of a medium-term project to take all the members of the MNDC and the Celebrity Homosexual Luncheon on a remote island populated by mysterious bisexual people and make a show out of it (I bet you that people would end up eating Gérard on the third day). Finally, I learnt a few handy tricks from the show as I am scheduled to take 6 planes in the next three weeks starting on Friday towards another unnamed destination. I will surely be analyzing each and every passenger’s movements to prepare for the terror and make sure to check out the fugitive next to the Air Marshal. I will also look out for obnoxious people acting flustered at the aiport such as patronizing Ana-Lucia.

Other perks of watching the episodes with such a strict self-discipline included a huge migraine issue, another disaster in our social life and a decreased sexual life. I hate TV.

I contracted a googlefight for Celebrity Homosexual Luncheon and MNDC. Clearly, as we all expected, Celebrity Homosexual Luncheon kicked MNDC's ass by a margin of 5 to 3.

Also, it is intersting to note that the Clebrity Homosexual Luncheon has yet to actually occur, an undeniable testament to its awesome wondrousness.

But Kevin, you have to nominate the member of CHL most likely to be eaten first, and then member most likely to become the bitch first.

i nominate sebastian k. as the first of the Celebrity Homosexual Luncheon to be eaten, as every homo will attest (in a hilarious manner) to having an unwavering desire to consume polish sausage.

God, I'm horrified, and I don't even know what that's supposed to mean...
