GOOD BYE TEXAS

Well I am all packed and ready to jet back to NH on Thursday. Thank God I am out of that place with all the old people staring at me, every moment jealous of my youth, HA HA. Well they did stare anyway. The weather here has sucked majorly for the past few days and of course we are only a stones throw from Mexico and the brewing of the potential pandemic, Swine Flu. What a horrible name. It sounds like a bad 80's cover band. Any hoo I am bored out of my head in the hotel but at LEAST it has WIfi and cable. I've been going mental without the internet for the past almost week. I almost needed sedatives to calm me down from internet withdrawls. As for the job scene it still looks good for me going back to Aetna but nothing is ever sent in stone. I will feel much better after a formal offer. Hopefully sometime in May I will be earning some money cause damn--A. I need some new clothes and B.My contract with Sprint is up and hmmm, an I Phone or Blackberry sounds mighty nice!!!!


LOST-1ooth EPISODE

Thank god for me and all the passengers on the plane Thursday that I will be able to view LOST tomorrow night which sounds like it is going to be a real hot one! Not being able to read LOST blogs since last week's episode left me bereft but with all the down time of being in the hotel here and in NH I will be a happy camper.


BEA ARTHUR IS DEAD--A BLACK HORSE HAS PASSED THE DEATH FINISH LINE

Bea Arthur AKA Maude and Dorothy on Golden Girls was not supposed to die. She was not on me and my fellow death hag Poohs radar. It was supposed to be either Stephen Hawking (how the hell does that guy keep going on???) Farrah Fawcett or Patrick Swayze. Oh and since Patrick has made it for two weeks since Pooh and I bet, I am the winner. Of what I don't know although I suppose Patrick is the REAL winner.


TV SHOWS

I must say since my stay here in Texas of almost a year I have discovered some TV shows I never watched before but now love: Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Family Guy, Paranormal State and most recently, House. I am looking forward to getting a DVR to ensure I never miss a one. But never fear, my favorite show and Obsession is still LOST. I am proud to be a Lostie.

LOST: SOME LIKE IT HOTH (and some sweat when the heat is on......)

Well this episode wasn't as "exciting" as the last one, but it was damn good. As I've said before, even the worst episode of LOST is better than any other TV show. We all know it. People next year are gonna be pissing themselves wishing they watched all along when the Series Ender blows all others out of the water.

So, this basically a Miles-centric episode. Didn't learn a whole lot. He needs bodies to read their last thoughts (but how does that explain his ghost busting in the home of that drug dealer kid?) We also get confirmation that, as many of us Lost-philes have suspected, that Pierre Chang and all his incantations is his Daddy. More Daddy issues!! Dad looked so loving with the 3 months miles but apparently dumped the wife and kid and never saw them again. My guess is Chang found out something and sent them away, mommy knew it and that's why she never talked about the dad, AND for an added bonus maybe the cancer she's dying of is somehow related to the island and Jughead. Well, that's just a supposition on my part.

The humor in this episode was incredible. Miles and Hurley could be the knew Abbot and Costello. As someone said on another blog, they ought to go back to the mainland and operate their own ghostbusting company. You gotta admit, Hurley talking about writing the sequel to Star Wars and even changing some things, was hysterical. I'm not a big Star Wars fans so alot of the stuff went right over my head. But I did get one thing out of it: Hurley was trying to CHANGE the movie, so maybe he believes that somehow history can be changed. Or maybe it was just his famous garlic mayo playing havoc on his senses.

Another hysterical instance was Hurley baiting Miles by saying stuff in front of his Dad, like the fact that Miles is the same name as Chang's kid. Could Chang know that Miles (grown up) is from the future? I wouldn't discount it.

And wasn't it lovely how Miles and Hurley were invited into the Circle of Trust. Robert Deniro would be so proud.

And in other events we got Sawyer asking Miles to erase the tape showing him and Kate taking the bleeding little Linus away. Miles, too busy entering the circle of trust, inadvertently forgets. And naturally smarmy little Phil finds it.

Jack is wiping off the school room chalkboard and if you noticed it was a lesson on Egypt and hieroglyphics. Hmmm???? Coincidence? Not thinking so since those suckers are showing up all over the island. Horace was a bit miffed and even Jack couldn't calm him down. Kates attempts at making things better backfired big time. Why does she continually act so damn stupid?

When at last poor bedraggled Sawyer got back home, he was confronted by Phil with the tape. "Get the rope" Saywer yells to Juliet who replies, "here we go." I guess they know the jig is just about up in the 70's. Good thing too cause the 80's were much, much better.

And then the big closer of the show, Miles goes to the sub to help the Scientists disembark and who should we see but the long lost Faraday "Hey Miles, long time no see". Indeed.

We have a 100 episode clip show this coming week (damn) but at least it is something and then the following week looks like a killer, "The incident". I cannot wait!!!! And if they show where Vincent is I will be doubly happy!!!!


WAITING, WAITING, WAITING IS THE HARDEST THING TO DO

Yes I am still waiting to hear about my job prospects at Aetna. I'm hoping it's tomorrow cause I'm about to go insane. And if the answer isn't what I want to hear, Well, let's just say that screaming you hear will be me.


NEW EPISODE OF LAW AND ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT IS ON TONIGHT, YEAH!!

I love Goren, wasn't so much a Noth fan. I will give Jeff Goldblum a shot though, cause that's just how I roll.

NEW LOST EPISODE 13 TONIGHT


The Latest LOST is called "Some Like it Haut". Not sure this is a play on the powerstation song of the same name but with LOST all is possible. And here's a little Desmond eye candy for ya (but mostly for me!!!)






GHOSTS ARE HAUNTING ME....REALLY

Two nights ago I swear to god my dearly deceased meow meow Fluffy visited me. I could feel like walking back and forth on the bed, I even reached out and could feel his tail. I didn't see him though but I looked out the window at the lights to confirm I was awake. NOW, this morning, I'm sleeping with my back towards the door. I feel two gentle taps on my back "come" "come" and I thought it was my mother wanting me to get up earlier than usual. So I get up and get dressed and all and I'm in the kitchen talking to my mother and I said something like "oh is that why you wanted me up earlier?" And she was like, what? I wasn't in your room at all. EERIE. At least they are nice ghosts. I wasn't scared at all and didn't mind my little kitty sleeping next to me. I shall keep you, the masses who read this blog, aware of any future encounters. What will tonight bring???????


GET WELL TO JANIS AFTER UNDERGOING A MEDICAL PROCEDURE.



STILL WAITING

Yep still waiting to hear if I got the job yet. But no news is good news in this instance so I shall just have to soldier on until it is time for me to know. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

A RANT FOR THE HELL OF IT

Well I have submitted my background info on Thursday night. And now here I wait, wait, wait to see If I am going to be hired back at Aetna. Aetna is perfect cause I know the job, I like the people, know the job, good money, good benefits, I live close by and I can one day transfer to the San Dieog office. But I guess I must just wait! Well, at least I know Lost is on Wed. That will help me through all the pain.


THE GIRL IN THE SUITCASE
(Taken from AP)

Prosecutors said Monday they may include rape and molestation allegations in their murder charge against the woman suspected of killing an 8-year-old Northern California girl and putting her body in a suitcase.

Melissa Huckaby, a 28-year-old Sunday school teacher, was arrested Friday on suspicion of kidnapping and murdering Sandra Cantu.

Well Well Well, now we have grown women predators out there, and a flipping Sunday School teacher to boot. And had her own kid. what in the ever loving hell is going through people's heads??? No one knows the motive yet. Let me guess: The voices made her do it, she was an abused child, abused wife blah blah blah. Stop this madness.

Michele's Musing on Recent Celeb PAP

And yet another mother with a zillion kids, only this one can't pay for them without duping the gov't and taxpayers. Do you think she could hanlde 14 kids like she self deludely professed way back before Dr Phil and pimping out her poor premies. Well kids, kick back and let's watch this train wreck come to its all but inevitable conclusion.

Michele's advice. Get a job. Get two jobs. Bust your ass like most moms instead of spending $2000 at the MAC counter.




Picture Madonna's face in this area, if you can stomache it. Sorry but I couldn't find one at a moments notice so use your imaginations for christ's sake! And that's my advice to you!










Vadge oh Vadge (and if you read Dlisted you'll get the nickname immediately) what is an incredibly rich woman with three children to? Why yes, let's try and steal one from Malawi!!!!!! Whoops! The Powers that be in Malawi say No way sister. Madonna, Vadge, give a few million create a school and some education and you'll be doing the community more good that will continue to grow. Honestly, it doesn't take an Einstein to figure this out.





Kanye West, take a chill pill and get over yourself. Laugh a little. Southpark is funny and so they insinuated you liking fishdick. I mean my god, did you see what they did to Tom Cruise. It's hysterical stuff. Chill dude. Michele's Advice: Respect Cartman's Authori-tay!




Whoa is me, I'm Lindsay Lohan. I have no money, no girlfriend (yet amazingly has a lovely new hair weave) and I've got some weird "atomizer" in my purse. What shall I do? Michele's advice: Get a job. Any job. Just get one and stop whining you airheaded diva.

H A P P Y E A S T E R !!!


(and happy 29th bday to me! Jesus is my homeboy today!)



TO THE PERSON WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS AND FORGOT MY BDAY:

You may redeem yourself by throwing me one hot damn party when I get back!!!

OH MY GOD! NOOOOO FOR THE HOLY LOVE OF JESUS SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!

Getting Lost: Has Rose & Bernard's Time Run Out? Plus: Naomi's Back!

This week, in the latest entry in TVGuide.com's Getting Lost video series:

* Is Ben not so bad after all? Hear what Michael Emerson has to say about perception-altering moments like those in "Dead Is Dead."

* Speaking of dead, Naomi resurfaces in next week's episode, "Some Like it Hoth." What is Las Vegas alum Marsha Thomason able to reveal about her "encore"?

* Last week's Burning Question — "What happened to Rose and Bernard?" — resulted in quite a consensus of opinion. Find out what the dominant theory is, then see if Lost bosses Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were willing to confirm or deny!

* The new Burning Question concerns a strange little something uttered by a character this week. Give it some thought, then send your best idea to Getting_Lost@tvguide.com.

****And if I may inject, and as it is my blog I sure as hell will, what about VINCENT? I demand Vincent be shown happy healthy and alive at the end. And not dead-alive either. Thank you. I have now gushed and must take a pill.

Oooooh creepy ain't it? Remember it because it will live in infamy and beyond



SOME MORE LOST STUFF!!!!!!!!!
(borrowed from our buds at Lost Fodder. Thanks)

For those lost junkey internet nerds like myself a found something that may of be of some help for newbies or may forever you heads. Lost takes a certain intellect that the must mundane of brains cannot grasp.

Lost Blog Acronym Guide (LBAG)

LOST EPISODE #12 DEAD IS DEAD


Okay I'm pissed I had a whole write up this last episode #12 Dead is Dead. And it got erased, and now I cannot find the damn thing. Okay so I'm gonna sum up the show for those of you idiots too stupid to watch and thus miss the greatest hour of your Wednesdays. But I digress. Let's see, essentially the show revolves Mr Ben and Mr John Locke. Talk about two scary dudes. Ben wants to be judged, he is judged by the smoke monster and lives. The visage of his dead daughter alex tells him to follow John Lokce and do whatever he says.

Sun is a bit more than shocked to see a walking John Locke. I mean who wouldn't be, the guys dead in a casket and now he's up right and spouting truisms like a Christ Figure.

Ben is judged by smokey, he doesn't get an A but something better: Life. We get some flashbacks of Ben and ETHAN visiting a lonely danielle and stealing her baby. This act, while descpicable, could also be the only way to keep them alive. Widmore is pissed that Ben didn't annhilate Mother and her beh beh but Ben stands up to him, Widmore can't do the deed himself, and thus Ben and beh beh become a happy little family (for the time being)

Back at New Ohterton Lapidius has decided to blow that popsicle stand and head back to the beach and Ajira crew. Sun decides to stay with Ben and John and take her chances of finding Jin, who as well all know, and Sun and Ben and john have a strong inkling of, they are in the70's listening to bad music and wearing even worse clothes.

By far one of the best Losts ever. I wish it were Wednesday already.

Best Lines (actually the whole shows dialouge was one best lines)

Ben: We don't even have a word for it. You call it Monster. (my people call maize you call it corn)

Little Linus: Who are you?
Scruffy Dude: I'm Charles (pause) Widmore.

Ben(aftering smoting down cesar into a nice salad):This gentleman and I are taking a boat does anyone else have a problem with that?

Ben (to John): You don't have the first idea of what this Island wants.
John: Are you sure about that?

1978 Ford Pinto. Ahhh yes, the 70's. A truly awful time for clothes and cars. Thank God we have moved away from this atrociousness they called a car. Oh BTW Jan, didn't your dad drive one? Or was that Gremlin? Either way...YUCK!







DESTINY ALA LOST

I discovered this little gem on Doc Arzt's website by writer Marc Oromaner. Very interesting. I believe in Destiny. I know I am destined to go to San Diego. But the how and the when, well, that I don't know. I knew I was never meant to be here in Texas. Anywhoo folks, here's part of the article:

Since this is supposed to be a column about Lost, you may be wondering what any of this has to do with the show, and specifically, its most recent episode, “Whatever Happened, Happened.” Allow me to explain. From the most apparent perspective, the title of the episode relates to how time travel works in the Lost universe. It is non-paradoxical, meaning you can’t change anything. So, whatever happened, happened. While this may be exactly how time really works in our world (which I disagree with since I believe in multiple parallel timelines, or multiverse theory), I think the theme of the episode is actually a metaphor for something else—destiny.

I believe that we all have a definite destiny that, like non-paradoxical time, cannot be changed. However, I also believe that there are many ways to get there and most of us, ultimately, do not. I like to think of destiny as the fate of our highest selves, the life course that would bring us the greatest joy but involves us overcoming our deepest fears. When we are on this path, our life goes relatively smoothly. When we aren’t, nothing seems to go right. When we are experiencing the latter, from our perspective it may seem like we’re total losers or that the universe hates us. The truth is though, there is a much bigger picture and at the moment, we are just temporarily coloring outside the lines. In other words, while your life may seem like it’s falling apart, you are more likely just being given room to start living a better one—one more in line with your true destiny. The universe is simply doing what it can to get you out of your own way.

After four and a half seasons of always trying to fix things, Jack finally came to this realization in “Whatever Happens, Happens.” Deciding he wasn’t going to fix Ben this time, he tells Kate that maybe the island just wants to fix things itself. That maybe, “I was just getting in the way.” Bingo! Yes, Jack was never meant to fix Ben even the first time! The island, a.k.a., the universe, was continually giving him things to fix so he would have an opportunity to so, “no.” Finally, he has!

I believe that Jack was never supposed to fix anything at all and was not meant to leave the island until he learned this. Similarly, Kate was not meant to raise Aaron forever, only until she could learn to be responsible and not run away. Sawyer was not meant to be with Kate until he could learn to commit to one woman, which he has with Juliet. Young Ben was not meant to die, because he must grow up to teach these lessons to everyone else. Just like the characters on Lost, we will struggle until we learn to conquer ourselves. We will struggle until we realize our destiny and work towards it, rather than against it.

If only we could be like the Maya, and know our destinies from the moment we were born. One of the Mayan calendars known as the Calendar Round combines their circular 260-day Tzolkin calendar with their circular 365-day Haab calendar together as two interlocking gears. Each day (one of the gears) represented a different energy to the Maya. Since the two calendars each had a different number of gears, they would interlock at varying points over time. The combination of the two gears that connected on the day you were born represent your destiny. So for me, those two gears might have been “spirituality” and “media” (in modern terms) since I believe it is my destiny to combine and interpret these energies. For you it might be “music” and “napping” or whatever it is you do best.

While we aren’t Maya, I still believe it is entirely possible to figure out our respective destinies. For starters, if you keep hitting brick walls in your life, change direction. As they say, “Out of rejection, comes direction.” Yep, they really do say that. One that I made up (since these rhyming motivational declarations seem all the rage lately) is, “Challenge yourself to grow, then life will flow.” Let life happen for you. Get out of your own way as Jack said. Leave a space and let life do its thing. This doesn’t mean you should do nothing, it means to stop doing what isn’t working. Einstein supposedly said: “insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” According to destiny, what you think you want (mind), and what you actually need (soul), may be two different things.

So, how can you figure out your destiny? Once you know what it isn’t, think about what it might be. What gives you the most pleasure? Something that you’re good at and gives you the most energy? Something you enjoy sharing with others. Okay, besides sex. Is there a talent you have or a hobby or something you dreamed of being when you were a kid? If so, it’s likely related. Next, look at your life. What is it that your parents do? Your mom is an art teacher and your dad a doctor? Perhaps you are meant to teach art therapy. Your mother is very religious and your dad is a scientist? Perhaps you’re meant to bridge the two philosophies. Your birth parents are hippies and your adoptive parents are accountants and your adoptive dad got divorced and remarried to an attorney and your adoptive mom now has a lesbian relationship with a waitress and your stepbrother is a circus clown? I’ll let you figure that one out, but you get the point. We all have a destiny, and if we listen to the whispers, act in spite of our fears and conquer the murky monster of doubt, we will succeed in fulfilling it. And something tells me the characters of Lost will succeed at fulfilling theirs too.

LOST

Tonight's episode is entitled "Whatever happened, happened" so I think it is safe to assume that Little Linus is gonna live and I predict be saved by Juliet. Which is why he had such a crush on her and then recruited her to come to the Island. It should be a heck on an episode and I will attempt to do a recap tomorrow since I've got nothing else to do except sit around, exercise, take my anti dep and stare at the sky! HA HA. Nothing yet in Job Land. I emailed my supe and let her know I was available at any time for the phone interview. Hopefully I shall hear soon.

POTENTIAL JOB SITUATION: LOOKING GOOD!

My ex supe from Aetna emailed me today and I am set up for a phone interview with her and the head guy tomorrow. Wish me luck!!! If I get a job this good and this quickly in this economy I am one lucky so and so. And then eventually I will be able to transfer to the San Diego Office!
