Too much weirdness going on.

I can't stand the British chick. Or Miles. The other two are cool, though.

I'm glad Ben is still alive, I'm sure the show would be a lot less creepy and fun if they offed him.

A cow? This island gets more crazy each day.

"Who are we to argue with taller ghost Walt" made me lol really hard.

[> we had coverage of the sugar refinery explosion til 9:50 -- Ninevolt, Friday, February 08, 09:35:48am [1] (nat-lib.scad.edu/69.41.96.9)

so all I got was from "she wasn't on the plane" on.

*pfft*

while I do care about the people affected by the explosion, two hours of local network affiliates having anchors converse with reporters (who were stationed at the site and at emergency rooms) on cell phones verged on sensationalism rather than conveyance of information, which they kept insisting was their purpose: "we're just trying our best to get the information out to you, our viewers..."

the people who were (and are) being affected directly by this weren't home watching television...they were in the ERs and at the site trying to find their friends and families. it felt insincere --- like a grab for sound bytes that might make it into the national coverage.

wow, okay...stepping down from my soapbox now.
