Quick good stuff

With so much bad stuff happening lately at seemingly every level, I thought I'd take a moment to reveal a few great (but minor) things going on:

The season premiere of Lost was excellent. They actually showed something meaningful inside the hatch! I had my doubts about how season two would begin but they really opened things up well.

Have A Nice Day by Bon Jovi is probably the best new song I've heard in at least a year. It's one of those songs that's so catchy that you want to sing along with it even when you don't know the words. Well, you don't. I do. I love it. I also really enjoy the fact that in 2005 Bon Jovi can release a song that works as well for me now as Livin' On A Prayer did in '87.

Joey on NBC was absolutely hilarious Thursday night. I watched all of last season, basically out of blind loyalty because I was such a huge Friends fan, but a lot of Joey's first season was really mediocre. Tonight's ep was literally funnier than all of last year combined. I hope they keep it up. Nice Kevin Smith cameo, too.

Right now the Sox and the Pats, sadly, don't belong in a "good stuff" piece. I really hope that changes this weekend.
