1. I made [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]'s pumpkin bread, which turned out to be quite yummy and made my house smell really good.

2. I watched the first three episodes of Season 1 of Lost, and I really, really like it. Need to get the other disks on DVD.

3. I watched "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". As my expectations were very low, I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the modern twists they gave to the children, and I liked Charlie and the factory in general. The look and feel was very Burtonesque, and I love Burton's macabre, twisted world. However, I found Johnny Depp's performance to be a little lacking and creepy, and the story sort of made the Wonka character unsympathetic, which I didn't like at all.

Oh, yay, I'm glad you liked it! I want to make that again, and I have this little sugar pumpkin sitting on my counter.

One of these days I need to check out Lost. It doesn't work to start watching it on television now, there's too much backstory to catch up on.

I know, that's how I felt too. I was pretty sure I would like it, but I like seeing things from the beginning. I end up watching a lot of shows on DVD, I like being able to watch shows when I have time, and without commercials.

Have you posted the recipe somewhere? I can't find it and I'm drooling all over the keyboard which is highly inconvenient.

I did, it's over here. I also have it conveniently bookmarked in my memories, if you ever can't find it.

Thanks!
