Social Media Sabbatical
After one week of Blogger FTP issues, one week of putting on the 2009 GDMA Degree Show at work, and another week of directing my church's family camp, I'm back to blogging. At the same time, however, I am living in constant fear of having my favourite blabbermouth, the Internet, spoil the season finales to my favourite shows.
Being so busy, the TiVo has been piling up with good television that I haven't seen. The main show I am concerned about is Lost, which has been so amazingly awesome this season I expect no less than earth-shattering revelations from the final episode. To a lesser extent, the results of Survivor, the always fun wrap-ups from 30 Rock and The Office, and the last show ever of the Prison Break series, are also something I'm looking forward to.
Thus, I have made the difficult decision to avoid all social media, including Facebook, Twitter and blogging, until my expectations have been met, my story arcs have been resolved, and my TiVo hard drive has been wiped clean.
So chatter away, Internet, but I'll be virtually plugging my ears and typing "la la la la la la" on an imaginary keyboard until then.

I assume you've been reading or at least have heard about this month's issue of Wired. It's guest edited by JJ Abrams and it's full of mysteries and puzzles. On first glance everything looks like it should but upon closed inspection there are hidden clues everywhere. Apparently there are also so clues about Lost in there somewhere too though I wouldn't know the relevancy. I don't watch it.
It's actually the first issue of Wired I've bought since they had the cover that responded to heat and touch, and while I'm saving it for summer vacation, I've flipped through it and seen some definite Lost tie-ins. Not to mention the fabulous retro cover done by House Industries...
