May 5, 2005 ... 05/05/05 ... one of the rare days where the month, day and year are all the same.

So I was going to watch ABC's expose of American Idol but I fell asleep. Just as well. Idol is an annoying waste of programming space that FOX could be devoting to quality shows like "Greg the Bunny" or "A Minute with Stan Hooper." I'm alluding of course to the opening line of last Sunday's "Family Guy" where Peter Griffin informs his family that they've been canceled and their only hope of getting back on the air is if FOX cancels... and then he proceeds to name an ENDLESS list of shitty shows that have aired on FOX since "Family Guy" was originally taken off the air.

There's still some good TV out there though and I'm talking about "Lost." Last night's episode was the first original one in forever and I can't get enough of Terry O'Quinn's performance as John Locke. With only a few episodes left in the season, let's hope they have something good planned.

And my dad's eye surgery went OK and he's back at home. Now he just has to deal with an
annoying recovery process until it's all healed.
