Sorry all, I am still recovering from last night’s LOST finale (is it really over?), so there will be no entries for today. But no worries, tomorrow I’ll be back to tell you all what I thought about it.
For now, I’m just going to let it all sink in.
I will tell you this: I loved it.
…Just for one day night!
Sorry for the super duper late post everyone, but last night we hosted a viewing party for the season 4 premiere of Heroes! Although a few fans couldn’t make it at the last minute, we still had a good time. However, I must say that it was quite the challenge to watch a 2-hour season premiere with people that had never watched the show before, but they were troopers and dealt with my yelling and grumbling under my breath. 
Our awesome friend, Roxy, made these kick ass brain cupcakes in honor of our favorite character, Sylar (of course). They were absolutely scrumptious but I have to admit that as I put the brain (actually a mold using candy) portion in my mouth, I may have gagged a little. The coolest part about these cupcakes is that I tweeted about them this morning, and Ms. Wendi Lynn herself re-tweeted me with a message from a little guy you may know:
Uhhhh, awesome sauce. Have I mentioned how much I adore Twitter? Because I do. Just sayin’.
Anywho, as if these cupcakes weren’t enough, we also put together some pretty tasty Chicken & Waffles dishes, which ties in to the show as being Hiro’s favorite childhood meal. We definitely got no complaints on that front – the plates basically disappeared in a puff of smoke (super powers?). I also provided super hero masks to the girls (boys refused), which we found to be pretty debilitating in regards to drinking beer effectively and, you know…seeing. So those were short-lived.
So on to the stuff I know you really care about: the show. Do not read on if you do not want to be spoiled.
I don’t think it’s a secret: I love TV. A lot. The hubs and I have quite the DVR queue and we are proud to list off all our favorite shows, often to other’s complete horror. It’s hard to believe that a few years ago, I never watched TV. In fact, the only way I would get hooked on a series was if a friend let me borrow their DVD’s. Now I can’t live without it! There really is nothing like coming home, cracking open a beer and disconnecting from reality for a good few hours.
That brings me to summer. Summer is usually an amazing time filled with sun, fun and friends. But it is a terrible time for an avid TV watcher: no new shows. I have to admit, it’s been pretty difficult. We’ve had to fill the void by adding new series to our Netflix queue (The Tudors, Mad Men, Flight of the Conchords, etc.), but it just isn’t the same. I miss my shows. And thankfully the wait is almost over (well, except for LOST)! September is right around the corner and with it brings new programming!
What am I the most pumped for?

So what if I have a preference?
Last night was the premiere of Heroes Volume 4 & I loved every second of it. OK, well maybe not when the words “to be continued” appeared on the screen, but every other moment was great. I know it was basically a “set up” episode so not a lot of action really happened, but I can’t wait to see the way this volume
plays out.
There have been rumors that due to huge rating drops, Heroes may not be on the air after Volume 4 if those ratings don’t increase in the next few months so if you are a fan or even teetering on fandom – please watch! Let’s help Heroes stay on the air or I don’t know what will become of my Monday nights.
What do you guys think? Still a fan? Think the show sucks now? Think I’m a delusional fangirl? Leave me some comment love, whatever it may be!

After what seems like years (but in actuality was only 8 months), LOST will finally be back with its 5th season. I am extremely proud to have been a Lostie from even before day one. I am one of the few that can boast that I saw the series premiere of LOST several months before it aired to the public at San Diego’s Comic Con International. And not only that, but I got to watch it along with several members of the cast & be present during a Q & A panel. Super cool, right? Right.
I have been hooked ever since. Sure, the show has had its share of low points, but I have always been a steady fan. I really believe that no other show out there right now can bring the same intelligence and creativity that LOST does. It is a rare breed.
So it’s no surprise that for the past 3 years or so we have hosted LOST viewing parties for both the season premieres and finales. Tonight is no different! We are actually hosting our largest LOST party to date with (I believe) 13 guests! The party planner in me cannot just lay out the chips and dip and provide the couch and TV…I go all out in true Melificent fashion. I bought
a stuffed polar bear and have clothed all our drinks with appropriate Dharma labels. Plus, we’ll be having a LOST themed ringlight photo shoot to boot!
I’ll be back tomorrow with a full update with my thoughts on the opener as well as party details, but for now enjoy this fun time lapse video of me putting together all the labels while watching last night’s awesome episode of Fringe (best is at 2:34 when I become caught up in the show & do my classic OMGZ!!!! face). Yes, this totally made me realize that J.J. Abrams owns me. I am aware.
