Finally after what feels like a terribly long wait, the Watchmen movie premieres tonight!!! I’ve been reading the comic (almost done with all 12) and must say it is amazing. I’ve heard early reviews already and the movie seems to live up to the greatness of the comic, which is quite the feat. The hubs and I along with about 10 of our friends (no joke) have tickets for Saturday at the IMAX theater. Much excitement.
I was brainstorming for a Friday blog post topic, when I realized how much I love Friday’s: the end of the work week, the beginning of the weekend. The feeling of relief when you wake up in the morning and realize Saturday & Sunday are upon you and the fun is just about to begin. Because of all these great feelings associated with Friday’s, I figured my blog post had to be just as lovable, exciting and fun. And then it came to me.
Lovable Friday! Why not make a post every Friday dedicated to the things I love that particular week. From people to accessories to blog posts to movies to albums. Things that would help the weekend start right: with a smile.
Let’s begin!

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!
So last night was our LOST party and as expected, we had a great time being a bunch of nerds together. The polar bear was a big hit and got a lot of love throughout the night by our guests, there was a special appearance by the infamous snuggie and everyone enjoyed their Dharma beverages. Unfortunately, the weather was uncharacteristically freezing so the ringlight photoshoot was a no-go. I did manage to brave the cold long enough at the end of the night to get a few good Dharma propaganda shots!

Taken @ the end of last year’s LOST party.
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.
