After watching several chapters of gametrailers.com's "Final Fantasy Retrospective," I decided, all other games aside, that I really needed to play FF7 again.  So I am.  I'm only about two hours in, but already Aeris is starting to annoy the piss out of me.  It's a great comfort knowing she gets cut in half before too long (zomg, spoilerz!). 

I've finished watching the third season of Lost, and I have to say that I'm still pretty drawn in by the whole thing, despite the somewhat mixed reviews I'd heard of the series as it advanced.  In fact, we had a very nerdy literary debate about how the whole thing seems to be taking a Miltonian turn, which lends itself well to detailed discussion, but sort of falls apart when you realize the creators of the show have apparently dismissed the idea that the characters are actually in Purgatory, or Hell, or whatever.  Still, I'm looking forward to the next season, and wishing like hell that I had TiVo.  Or at least cable.

Oh, and as of yesterday.... seven YEARS.  Wow.
