Lost and pondering
Ah, new Lost episode today. And with multiple people's flashbacks even.
It's nice to see stuff ramping up. Especially since they've got what, one episode left now? As usual it asks more questions than it answers, but we're used to that by now. This episode made me very happy, that is to say, cry like a girl. As much as I love Charlie and Claire (and little Turnip Head. That poor kid needs a proper name before someone comes to try to kidnap him). Jin and Sun are the couple who really tug at my heartstrings. Married couple that just stopped talking. Yeah, I can relate to some of that. It really broke me up when Jin seemed to walk out on her, when we saw that all either of them wanted was to just go back to how it was when they first fell in love. Finally, finally we get to see that resolution somewhat. Jin is a proud man, but his intentions are always in the right place. We just may not know what they are for a while. I do worry about that raft tho. Can they really make it and bring back help? I hope so, I don't know if I can bear Jin and Sun being separated forever.
And what is up with the Others on the island (or anything on the island admittedly)? Bunch of freaky baby stealers. Why? Gah, so many questions. If Ethan was any indication, they aren't exactly the friendly sort. And *big surprise* the black rock wasn't exactly black or a rock. Huh. Didn't see that coming. Tho makes more sense why there's stuff to scavenge from it.
Lots of neat bits this episode. Yay Sawyer for having the stones to tell Jack about his dad. I really thought he'd be a bastard and never tell him. Glad I was wrong. They made a nod to explaining why the marshal had five guns. Nice the subtle way they assured us that the random other survivor that has been popping up lately was actually from the plane. I so thought he was going to go red shirt and be monster food. Well he still might, but eh. And why is Hurly on this little expedition anyway? Does this mean the numbers will make an appearance again? Arr, I was so waiting for them to be noticed on the hatch, but no. Not yet anyway. Can hardly wait for next week. Tho they'll probably leave on a cliffhanger just so we have to keep watching later.
Did some yard work today. Still need to mow, but the darn thing didn't want to start for me. I have not the touch.
Yesterday I went in for a teller test to try to get a bank job. It seems my transacting isn't exactly up to speed. Literally. Ah well, I can try again in 30 days. I still don't know if that's what I want to do, but I don't really know what else to do right now either. Of course then I got to end that day closing with my least favorite person ever. Yes, thank you for reminding me why I was looking for a new job in the first place.
And then I think about what my Mom said to me last week. There was no push either way, just a reminder that I've got two years to go before I hit 30 and my fertility will drop. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't something I've thought about. Mostly I feel too immature myself to be a parent. Same reason I've opted out of teaching. I don't feel ready, but is anybody really ever ready? And then there's the fact that Heero and I are of different faith backgrounds. That worries me a bit for children, as does the fact that he doesn't know his blood type and if it's positive or negative. Important because I'm negative. A baby with positive blood in a mother with negative can make for a dangerous, high risk pregnancy. The mother's blood can form antibodies to the baby's blood! *Sigh* It's hard to be one of the oldest members of your main circle of friends, and the only married couple. There's no one to really relate to these type of situations. As it is now, we fit. But start a family and we're odd out. Everything changes. And maybe that's what I'm afraid of.
