Things I said while watching "Lost" last night

"Holy crap."
"Nooo!"
"Wow."
"What the fuck!" (this was during a commercial)
"Jesus Christ."
"OH NO THEY DI'INT"

Okay, that last one I didn't say out loud. By "they" I was thinking of the producers of "Lost", who are now clearly batshit insane.

Sadly I was somewhat spoilered about two things. One from some idle speculation on lost_theories based on last week's "tune in next week" promo, the other from a rumor in an article linked to from the front page of the Lostpedia. Fortunately I didn't really believe either one, so I was still somewhat surprised when they both came true (simultaneously), but not as surprised as I should have been. So maybe I should stop reading those until the season ends.

By the way, that rumor (the why, not the what) is debunked in a TV Guide interview with the producers.

Newsworthy friends

Some friends of mine were on the news on Monday night, in a Special Report about polyamory in Massachusetts. The WHDH website has a transcript and video. The promos for the report were somewhat sensational—they're not just in Utah, but here in our own state!—but the report itself was reasonably neutral, if a bit too short to really explore the issues.
