Lots and Lots of Fangirly Flip Outs

To be exact: Flip Outs about Paddy, Hockey and LOST 5.11…

I’m kind of feeling better today. Good enough for two entries in fact. I actually wanted to post this one yesterday but then I felt pretty sick-ish in the evening and didn’t get around to it. So this is the first and consists of fangirly flip out only.

If you want to understand why I like Patrick Dempsey so much, you might want to listen to a 10 minute radio interview he did last week. He is just such a down-to-earth guy, humble, nice and funny. I don’t share his love for racing, not at all, but I love that he can get so enthusiastic about it,. That he is a person who still can get enthusiastic about something other than fame and being a hot-shot and all. I had to smile when he said, that he’d love to meet Eric Bana. I’m sure they would have a lot to talk about. Paddy also confirmed that he’s got the movie rights to “The Art of Racing in the Rain”. Cool! And I also loved this part of the interview [Yes, I was kind of bored yesterday but still not fit enough to do some real work. Transcribing was all I could handle]

IV 3 And Random Thoughts on LOST…

It’s a weird day today. I got about four and a half hour sleep last night and lay awake in bed for the reminder of the night. Heard the guy in the flat upstairs get up around 5.30 am, heard the birds sing and twitter, but also the wind and rain and snow outside. ARGH. It’s late March, it’s spring, why does this nasty winter weather have to return now. It stayed nasty till about an hour ago, when suddenly the sun beamed out of the clouds. Well at least it tried to beam. It looks lighter outside. Question is: For how long….?

Even though I’m lacking a lot of sleep I’m feeling not too bad today. Drugged up, but at least not too listless and not too hyper. Something in between, which feels strange, but might actually help to get some minor things done. Prepare my income tax return and things like that. Send some mails. Easy stuff… I’m even up to reading again, which I couldn’t get myself to do the days before. Because my brain was either too tired or too busy with other thoughts. The things some meds do to you. But I have the feeling that the meds are actually helping, so I shouldn’t complain… I’m afraid they will have to take another vein tomorrow though, which sucks. I’m left-handed and prefer to have the IV on my right arm, but it looks like the inside of my arm around the vein is starting to bruise. I guess I’ll have to wait what the medical assistent thinks about that tomorrow…

During the waking hours this morning I suddenly thought about some LOST stuff. Don’t ask me why…

I Need Hermione’s Time-Turner!

I started the last entry with “I’m so exhausted”, I think. Well I still am. Although not that much exhausted but more stressed. Again or still. My week needs more days and my days need more hours. What’s really annoying is that it’s not even fun or personal stuff that’s keeping me busy. But work and local politics. And work :-)
I even have to do a lot of work-related stuff tomorrow, even though Friday actually is my day off. In job#1 at least, but I still got a lot of stuff to organize in job#2. Phonecalls to make and all. I usually start my Friday with watching Grey’s Anatomy. I’m such an addict, that I can’t imagine pushing that back until the afternoon. But I also don’t want to be forced to take a break in the middle of an episode to answer some phonecalls. Which might happen, if I don’t get some other stuff done in the morning. So I guess I’ll have to get up extra early, watch the episode and start working / phoning around 8.30 or 9 AM. We’ll see. Don’T get me started on all the other not-work-related stuff I have to get done over the weekend. I really really have to read some of the grad school literature and work on my term papers. I haven’t done that for a long while. But I don’t know when I should have found the time for that…

So I’m off to bed soon, probably listening for a bit to Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter. These audiobooks are really awesome and been a big joy to me in the last couple of days. During the annyoing commute to work and such. Another positive thing to report: I started with Kieser Training again today after I took a 3 week break because of the lower back pain. My back didn’t bother me at all during the work out and I feel that I’ve worked out. Which feels great.

And because I’m so tired, there are just a few thoughts on the new LOST

LOST – 5.01 “Because You Left” / 5.02 “The Lie”

I just  love this show!

Thoughts about Christian Shepherd…

I skimmed through Lostpedia for some information and stumbled across something which I didn’t know. And which changes part of what I thought. Not that what I thought was a valid explanation for anything. But neither is this…. :-)

LOST 4.16 – 4.17 – “There’s No Place Like Home 2 & 3″

It’s not going to be a real LOST review. It can’t be, because it would take days to untangle all the thoughts and questions on my mind. All in all I really liked these two episodes and how this season ended.

No more LOST reviews…

This episode means the end of LOST reviews in my blog. My mind is too confused right now and it already was like that after the last few episodes, which we watched in Canada.

This episode was awesome! After just the first few scenes I was in tears, because it was so sad. And happy at the same time. If you know what I mean. And the rest… wow. There are so many questions left and instead of answering some of them every new episode just leaves me with new questions. But I love it!
It’s just too complex to make a coherent post about it :-). As I already spend enough (or sometimes probably too much) time writing Grey’s reviews, there is no way I’ll be spending even more time trying to come up with something coherent…

LOST 4×09 – “The Shape of Things to Come”

Well… that was … quite something.

Beware! Spoilers ahead…
