Lost without Lost

This morning I woke up, realized it is Wednesday and for about .00039 seconds, thought, "YAY! Lost is on tonight."

Then I remembered that no, sadly Lost was not again for nearly two more months. Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Sun, and the others (as well as The Others) would not be back to grace my TV screen, captivate my imagination or keep me guessing about where the hell the show is going until February 7, 2007. Ugh.

Even though Lost has certainly, well, lost some of its shine, I still look forward to it each week more than any other. So for those of you also in Lost withdrawl, here's a little funny a friend sent me recently. Hang in there! February will be here before we know it.
