It’s always a sad time for the Boob Tube Dude when shows go into reruns during the holiday season, but it’s been especially dire this year due to the strike. I’ve been forced to look towards Tila Tequila for new content. That has to be one of the signs of the apocalypse, right?

Luckily, I’ve been using the Blu-Ray edition of Season 3 of Lost to curb my television appetite. Sure, I’ve seen all these episodes, but never quite in such beautiful picture and sound. Couple that with all the extras, and you’ve got one happy Dude.

Over on my Lost blog, I’ve been carefully detailing all the features exclusive to the Blu-Ray edition of the DVD set. I do this so, well, you don’t have to, I guess. But if you’re a Lost fan, and don’t own a Blu-Ray player (ie, 95% of you), go on over and check it out.

For the three of you anxiously awaiting my Top Ten Buffy breakdown, I beg patience. I would have done a chunk of it this weekend, but my ill-fated run towards owning a copy of Rock Band hit another snag when I discovered it came without all its parts. So, unless I learn telekinesis shortly, I’m stuck without any way to hold my fake drums. Truly a dark day for yours truly. Hopefully it will have a happy ending (I’m looking at you, EA  online support center), but hoepfully in the meantime you can understand my short-term grief at not being able to be the Meg White to the Boob Tube Babe’s Jack White.

We’re hosting New Year’s Eve dinner, and at least half of those coming hope I have a solution by the time they come over. The other half are looking into renting other men for midnight smoochies duty.
