I have thoroughly adicted my parents to Lost. They came over for turkeyday weekend and we watched the first season and the first 8 episodes of the 2nd season. We stayed up til 12:30 every nite, and they normally can't make it past 10pm. Yea that's right I'm "the pusher".

Finally I have a chance to catch my breath from the weekend getaway. Friday I was to hop on the city bus after work to race downtown to catch the Greyhound to Spokane to visit my family. So the plan was to bus to work but of course I missed it by 20 seconds, and had to pay 11 bux for a taxi to work. I hate hate hate taxies! I finally got out of ( Read more... )
