Why are there no nihilists on Lost?

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Just wondering why none of the characters, even the minor ones (like the briefly seen and quickly discarded Nicki and Paolo (who?)), are nihilists. Why hasn’t anyone just completely lost it (no pun intended) and gone ape-shit nuts and started destroying everything and then commit suicide? Or something like that? Yes, I know that wouldn’t be very Disney-like, but so what? Isn’t odd that all of the survivors seem, for the most part, to have adjusted to living on the island? I’ll discount Locke who obviously never wants to leave. Maybe we’ll see tonight; though I doubt that very much.

The “puppy crazies”

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

We got a puppy about a week and a half ago. Her name is Daisy Mae. She is a miniature pinscher mix (mixed with what, we don’t know).

Anyway, from time to time (mostly after coming in from going to the bathroom), she gets the “puppy crazies” where she runs around like a loon for a few minutes. Tonight, she went into the spare bedroom and got under the bed. She was barking her head off, darting out from under the bed for a second, and then going back. It took Karen and I a few minutes to finally drag her out from under there.

Lame comment spam

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

I use Akismet to block comment spam on here, and I always do a quick review of the comments ID’ed as spam just in case something relevant just stuck in there (it happened once, so I’ll take the time waste and quickly scroll through the list). Tonight I noticed that most of the comment spam was about insurance products. How lame. I can’t even attract a good level of porn-related spam.  :-(
