First things first. Last nights episode was awesome. Some are even saying the best ever. I would rank it #1 this season. It was more like a season 1 or 2 episode in which it gave us a ton of info.

?We finally found out that Ben did try to kill Penny but had a change of heart when he saw their child. Desmond then “came back from the dead” and kicked Ben’s butt.
?We finally got a lot more info about Smokey. The whole scene with Smokey in the Temple with Alex was amazing.
?Locke is definitely the leader.
?Widmore was kicked off the island because he was leaving a double life.
?One of the stranger scenes was when the new survivors had that giant crate and Ben didn’t seem too concerned. We basically found out later that it is probably a stock pile of weapons. To that point, I think it is tied to Widmore. Ben screwed up when he told Widmore that he was going back to the island that day. Not only that, he told him where he was at. Widmore could have easily tracked Ben and got a team on the plane. I am not even ruling out the idea that Widmore is now on the island because he was also on the plane.
?I read someone elses theory that Ben has been a patsy this whole time and never really the leader. He could never talk to Jacob and was only used to oust Widmore from the island. I really believe this is true based on what we saw in this episode.
?Looking forward to finding more about Miles next week and his abilities.

Movies

I watched a couple movies this weekend. The first being Madagscar 2. It was okay. I am just not a big fan of the Madagascar series. The second movie I watched was Zack and Miri Make a Porno. It was pretty funny. I would recommend it. It was a lot funnier that the other Seth Rogen movie (Pineapple Express) I watched this week.

Late Night

I only went out one night this weekend and it was a last minute decision. We went to Flannery’s and then Pepper Lounge. Flannerys was packed with girls like always. Pepper Lounge sort of sucked. I was more excited about the idea of going to Maurizos afterwards so I was very distracted. Maurizos was the highlight of the weekend. It was delicious.

Sports

I watched a lot of sports this weekend. I got to see the first half of the Lakers game on Friday which was very entertaining. I watched some of the Final Four. I really lost all interest in the tournament after Missouri’s departure. Last but not least, I watched the Blues game on Saturday. Unfortunately, the lost in OT while Anaheim won so they fell back into 9th place. They really need to win their last 3 games to make it in.

The start of baseball season is amongst us now too. I passed on opening day tickets for the Cardinals because I felt bad for taking off so much time lately. I will have to wait till this Fridays game. I am off work Friday also so it should be a fun day.

Relaxation

I finally got some good time to myself. It was everything I thought it would be. I slept in both days plus I had my first workout in over a month. I watched a lot of TV but I did get time in to clean my place. I also had my fantasy baseball draft. I am really happy with my team. I decided to focus on pitching so I drafted started and closers early. We will have to wait and see if the strategy pans out.

Chuck is not canceled but it is rumored that it might not make it to a 3rd season. Here is a petition to make sure it does not.Please sign it if you are a Chuck fan and want to continue watching this show. What is not to like about this show? It has hot women, action, and a lot of technology jokes.
