He bet me Dustin Hoffman was in Star Wars!

Thanks to the LOST writers ("a talking dog? what were you guys smokin' when you came up with that?" " we were eating rotisserie chicken") I get completely enthralled with my television for the entire hour of 9 to 10 pm, inclusive of the commercials I am subjected to. I think, normally, I tune commercials out. Somehow my hyper attentive state during lost prevents me from even considering moving to change the channel, as my mind races to figure out what the fuck just happened during the previous program segment.

But I digress. Some of the commercials they play during lost are unbelievable. A few thoughts I would like to share now, that have only just sprung to mind after lost tonight.

Firstly - Poor Luke Wilson. What the hell is up with his lack of career and personal upkeep? He is doing these pitiful AT&t ads and he looks like he has really packed it on. Come to think of it, the last film I can remember him in is Never Been Kissed - I guess that says a lot about his career (or my memory, one of them is the more flawed...you be the judge).

Conversely, my old friend Christian Slater seems to have gotten some work, some on ABC they hope will bring in some desperate ratings with the stragglers of lost who find themselves hopelessly discussing theories with their friends long after the actual show has ended. I shouldn't be so jaded, it might actually be a good show, and while I will never watch it, I only wish the best for ol' Christian.

That is the wheel of Samsara in Hollywood for ya.

I am most irked, though, but the blatant target advertising. Maybe ABC thinks that Evangeline Lily hawking Pantene during my LOST commercials breaks works well, but if they only knew how fucking annoying Kate REALLY is - they would be better off showing her commercials during Oprah. That way, housewives/husbands who probably don't watch lost would be swayed by only her beauty (yeah, i loathe her character but no one can deny bitch is good lookin') and not her annoying character. HE SAID STAY HERE KATE. DO. NOT. FOLLOW. THEM. IN. TO. THE. JUNGLE.

Well s'all for now. I will most likely follow up with some outraged post about the Toronto Mayoral race. le sigh....
