LOST IS GETTING CLOSER!!

It's now October, which means that LOST is getting closer. I cannot wait. For now, I bide my time with LOST blogs, watching HOUSE and SUPERNATURAL. At least the guy who plays Jacob is playing the devil on Supernatural so it seems a bit like LOST. A bit.


DAVID LETTERMAN

Yes, he's a man ho. Time to move on. He shouldn't have screwed around with co workers (as he is management) and shouldn't have cheated on his wife. But he's not a politician spouting family values who winds up tapping his feet in a men's room. Will this stop me from watching his show (when I am up that late!) no. He has some explaining to do to his wife and some apologizing to his office staff. He's an idiot but he's still funny. And that's my half-assed attempt at defending him. No pun intended. Okay, intended.

MICHAEL JACKSON CLIP FROM "THIS IS IT" TOUR PRACTICE

I am gonna cry! MJ sounds incredible, and aside from looking very thin, he looks good. Oh, what could have been. Love this song. RIP Michael, I miss you!






CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL EMERSON

Michael Emerson AKA Ben Linus from LOST won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama. Well deserved and about time. Congrats. I hope LOST cleans up next year at the awards. If I hear anything about that damn Mad Men one more time, I am gonna hurl!

LOST THOUGHTS


Well, there is about 4 stinking months left til the next Season of LOST and I am going crazy! I've been reading all the LOST sites and a zillion theories and every time I read one I think it is spot on, and then I read another one and think THAT one is right. Of course, I have also read alot of theories that are pure crap, too.

Unofficially, the new Season will begin on Feb 3 and go UNINTERRUPTED through May 19 2010 which will be the Series (NOOOOOOOO!) Finale. I am going to cry so damn hard when all is said and done. I also plan on NOT DYING til I find out the mysteries of LOST or I seriously will come back and haunt everyone on the planet! Oooh Scary!!!

So, what do I want to see in Season 6 of LOST, the final season of a show that is going to go down in history. I do believe this too. People are going to be watching this show, discussing it and analyzing it for the rest of eternity. Heck, if the world ends, we'll probably have a group of LOST fanatics in heaven still speculating and deconstructing. I know that I just said what do I want to see in Season 6 and I'll get to that shortly. What I DON'T want to see EVER is the following:

LOST: The reunion special (where the cast are in their 80's, drooling and brought to us in holoraphic image from some new fangled TV of the future).

I don't want to see a LOST variety special a la The Brady Bunch.

DO NOT EVER EVER remake this show. Just don't. It's like Gone with the Wind. Any attempt at reduplicating it will just seem really stupid and pointless. Not to mention the fact that it will fail in epic style and suck majorly.

No spinoffs. Although a comedy show starring Ben and Hurley and Sawyer sounds really funny in theory--in execution it's just gonna be ridiculous. No, I don't want to see some romantic comedy starring Desmond and Penny as they sail around the world and talk about their undying love. Just please NO. Kthanx. While I would love a show that revolved around Desmond without the P woman, where he runs around shirtles and looking hot and sweaty, it is just going to cheapen his mystique and up being laughable. I don't wanna see LOST: The Golden Years, starring geezers Jack, Sawyer and Jin cackling away in a Nursing home as they endlessly play Risk, checkers and Backgammon in a loop.

I also don't want to see a Drama show starring Juliet as "Dr. Juliet, Tribal Medicine Woman: AKA gynecologist to the stars. The only thing I might accept would be a show starring Vincent. There is a great deal that could be done to mold Vincent into this generations Lassie or Benji. They could even do a show where Vincent plays a sort of People Whisperer and travels across country seeking out the unfortunate and righting whatever went wrong in their lives.

Okay, now I will get to some things I want to see happen in Season 6 or NOT to happen. Or even perhaps, what I think MIGHT happen. Here we go. Hold on to your hats.......
Jack must die. Yes, he must. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say everyone must die, or sacrifice themselves for some poetically grand good. A sacrifice for the world. Even so, if they don't kill everyone, Jack must die. It's the only way he can go out being a true hero.

Dear God, I do NOT want a happy ending. I'm not saying I want a horrible, evil ending (well maybe- kinda- sorta) but this story just cannot end on a happily ever after note. It just can't. Give me some ambiguity, yes. Answer a lot of questions, but also leave some things up for interpretation.

No black screen like the damn Sopranos. Although, it could be kinda cool with the last image being a black screen with the white LOST logo coming up and the familiar music we've come to cherish lo these past 5 years.

Honestly, I think Bram, Ilana and their ilk from Ajira add nothing to the show. Kill 'em off right away after explaining who they are. I want to see explanations for Walt and Aaron. Something about them. ANYTHING. Walt and Aaron have been touted as being "special" and I darn well wanna know why!

It would be nice if Locke gets to be more then just a pawn for the Man in Black. And I want to see more of Jacob and the Man in Black. I wanna know who/what Richard is. What in holy hell is the Temple?! And why are Ben/Widmore advesaries...the real reason, and why can't they kill one another?

I don't wanna see Desmond and Penny ending up happily spouting off cliches. Yes, I am being selfish here. Kill Penny off. For the love of Dharma beer, kill that pain in the ass! Oh yes, and just who are the skeletons in the cave and what is the significance of the black and white stones with them?

Space Aliens cannot even be implied or I will not be a happy camper. I can take time travel, quantum probabilities, black holes and even good old fashioned magic, but not E.T. No reset. I have invested five years of my life emeshed with these characters, do not invalidate that by having everyone land safely in LA as though none of the show took place. In fact, do not have the ones who remain alive even go back to civilization. It began on the Island, and thus it should end there. It is their fate, their destiny.

LOST, how am I gonna quit you?


GOODBYE PATRICK SWAYZE......

The summer of death is limping to a close and has claimed yet another celeb. RIP good Sir and may flights of Angels wing thee to thy rest. Say hi to Wong Foo for us!!!

DEPRESSION RULES!!!

I always knew there was something special about me! A Scientific American piece going viral explains that those suffering from depression are at an "evolutionary paradox" and are more evolved thinkers than happy-go-lucky types due to their analytical nature.


RIP DJ AM

The summer of death continues its slaughter on the celeb world. As someone on a website so aptly said, "If I were even remotely famous enough to be on TMZ, I'd be renting out a bomb shelter right now." I paraphrase but you get the gist. RIP Adam Goldstein, so sad he survived a plane crash to die a short time later due to its after effects.

HAPPY 51 MICHAEL JACKSON, NO PROPOFOL NEEDED IN HEAVEN

Today MJ would have been 51. Sad. Not much else to say on that so I won't.

I PEED IN A CUP

No, not two girls one cup, it was one girl, one cup, add urine and stir. In other words, I had my drug test. As long as anti deps aren't against the employment code I should be good to go on that front. Went back to work to visit today and Audrey, a darn good admin assistant, faxed stuff for me. Everyone is excited to have me back. Ain't that sweet? I will be sitting near Audrey so I can antogonize her on a daily basis now.

COOL BLOG

Check out People of Walmart at http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/ it is damn funny. Damn funny. Rednecks at their best my friends. And what finer place to showcase them then that bastion of style, Walmart. Honestly, I hate the store. And now that I have a job, I do not have to shop there!! Hello Macys and Nordstrom, I missed ya!

LOST

Damn do I miss this show. Right now, the cast is in Hawaii filming the new season. We should start getting some spoilers soon. I don't want to know major spoilers, but little snippets of stuff is always nice. God how I wish I could be an extra on the show. Paula and I were talking about this today and we would like to offer our services to the producers of the show. Yes, we ARE available and are willing and able to grace the good folks of Lost with our presence. PLEASE!!!! I want to kidnap Desmond and keep him tied up in the temple!!!!

MY NIECE HAS A CELLPHONE!!!!

She is nine, and she is now armed and dangerous! The world will never be the same.....

COLOR ME: EMPLOYED

Yes ladies and gentleman (and even if you aren't that's okay) I have officially been offered a position where I used to work!! Yes money and benefits..oh my. Special thanks to Linda, Keith and Audrey. Tomorrow I have to pee in a cup and go through a background check. Hopefully I will be good to go. Congrats to me on making a roaring leap back into the world of the gainfully employed. Watch out Mall, here I come!

LOST NEWS!!!!!!!

Watch this video, it's comedy but it also features LOST writing team/producers Cuse and Lindelof. The title of the first Episode of Season 6 is purported to be LA X. Also check out the website http://damoncarltonandapolarbear.com.








LOST SEASON 6 PROMO POSTER:




Less than 200 days now!!!!!!



PAULA --FEEL BETTER SOON

I will be over this week to irritate you back into a relapse!

STEWIE IS GAY

Yes little Stewie from FAMILY GUY is gay and has been outed by shows creator Seth McFarland. All I have to say to that, is NO DUH! I'm hoping for an upcoming tastefully romantic pairing of Stewie and Brian!

NEW WEBSITE OF INTEREST:

I have recently been (due to not working, got plenty o'time to surf the net.) on a new website that is giving me much lulz and some damn interesting reading. The site is SOMETHING AWFUL (SomethingAwful.com) and I have learned many interesting things such as Billy Mitchell (some dude who is a "legend" game player of Donkey Kong) is a major douche, to an illuminating thread on men who love dolls. Yes, as in sex dolls. This thread is making FUN of the dudes of course by looking and laughing at their own words. It's both interesting and quite frightening!

HOLY SH$%!!!!!!!


Yes, it has been a month since I posted. Wow, that went by fast. Damn, the summer is nearly gone. Still not employed but as soon as the hiring freeze is over at my former place of employment I will be in like Flynn. I've got teh interets and my DVR and Cable so it won't be too bad. And, of course, the LOST rewatch is on. Paula and I have got her husband hooked, just as we knew would happen, and we have watched the first three episodes of Season one so far. It's really amazing to watch again knowing stuff that has accumulated for the last 5 seasons. John Locke really looks menancing in some shots and makes me wonder...did the Man in Black (MIB) take control of him from the moment the plane crashed? It was good to see Charlie again and Boone and Shannon. I miss Ben and Desmond...but I believe they show up in the second season so it won't be too long til I view Desmond's chest in all its glory.

It was also nice to see Jack not being an idiot. Come on, we love Jack but lately he has gotten stupid and self righteous. I am sure that will change in Season 6 cause he is gonna be the Hero he was meant to be. Thank Goodness for the LOST blogs and reading different theories and speculation. It will have to suffice until January. From what I read in TV Guide and on various LOST sites, it looks like Juliet, Charlie and Boone will be back next season in some FORM or other!

Some things I noticed in the first three episodes upon viewing for the second time with all the stuff known (or speculated) through 5 seasons:

*Locke really has a sinister look on his face when he smiles at Kate with the orange peel in his mouth and at the end of the third episode when he is watching Michael reuniting Walt with the always adorable Vincent.

* Vincent also appears to be more then just a dog roaming around the Island. This time around, we know through the LOST mobisodes that right before Vincent wakes up Jack, Christian is seen telling Vincent to wake Jack up as he has "work to do."

*Wow, the pilot getting skinned and hanging upside the tree!!! Smokey was really violent. Could it be because that pilot was not supposed to be there and it was supposed to be Lapidus OR is it because the Smoke Monster wanted to make sure the pilot couldn't help the survivors get off the Island?

*Walt was so little!!!!!! Shannon didn't irritate me on the second viewing. Maybe cause now I know she dies and I liked her right before they killed her off. Jin was a real dickwad!!! He has definitely grown and changed since the crash.

*I remember when I first saw the monster going through the trees! I thought it was a dinosaur. Now I know it definitely is NOT a rogue T-Rex.

DAMN LOST IS AWESOME!


IN MEMORIUM: Clifford A. Eisnor 1967-1977. Still missed, loved and never forgotten.


BILLY MAYS SNORTED OXY CLEAN!!!

Well okay that's not true, but he was sniffing the blow along with a myriad of other drugs found in his system which contributed to his death (he had heart disease as well). I guess now we know why Billy was always yelling and acting hyper!!!

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THE BODY OF MICHAEL JACKSON?

As of this writing, MJ's body is lying around somewhere. They are supposed to bury him at Forest Lawn. Janis and I will FIND this grave when we next go to LA. Death hags cannot pass that up. No way!!!

MY MICHAEL JACKSON RANT

This is my official "rant" on Michael Jackson because all the crap in the media and on the internets is just getting mean, vicious and frustrating. So I'm gonna say this all at once and get it outta my system and I won't have to go onto forums and start vicious word wars with other posters. God knows we don't want that to happen!

Okay here I go. Michael Jackson was arguably, the best entertainer we have ever known. I doubt there is anyone out there that doesn't at least like ONE of MJs songs or videos. The man is dead. It is a sad and a very painful thing for a lot of people, me included, because he was a part of our whole LIFE! He was the soundtrack of a generation. Michael died too young and needlessly. The man had an ADDICTION. Yes, he chose to take drugs but he was addicted. The facts are he had MANY MANY MDs who were enabling him by giving him these very powerful drugs. He had a doctor LIVING with him and yet, he still died. If the reports are to be believed and I have no doubt they do, MJ was emaciated, he was full of needle marks, he was taking alot of meds, not eating and rehearsing for a very grueling tour that would be difficult for a 20 year old. MJ was 50. What in the Holy CHRIST were his handlers (managers, agents etc) thinking? Before MJ died I knew he couldn't get through those concerts, and guess what? He didn't! He's DEAD!!! Nobody talked him out of or tried to deter him from these concerts?! They had to have known he couldn't do it!! Obviously MJ was too high to make the proper decisions and the sychophants and hangers on only saw dollar signs.

I am not blaming his family. Well not totally. I won't go into Joe Jackson because that would take this rant way beyond the pale. MJs family TRIED to do an intervention. He did not let them on his property and he cut them out. He cut out people who spoke up to him. He was living in a drug fueled haze apparently and yet no one not even the many MD's oh I don't know, didn't think, Geez, there is no way in hell MJ can tour when he is a freaking skeleton, not eating and taking potent narcotics, sedatives and some damn ANETSTHETIC that is only used in HOSPITALS!!! Is it any surprise the guys heart stopped? And don't get me started on the fact that the CARDIOLOGIST he had living with him did not have a DEFIBLIRATOR on site. I bet you dollars to donuts MJ would probably be alive now if he had a shock to his heart right away.

Someone should have done something. Called CPS and perhaps the threat of taking his children away would have caused him to finally get the help he needed. In fact, I'm' sure if anything would have done it, THAT would have.

So now what are we left with? We've got the family ARGUING over where he is to be buried since it seems they want to make money off this thing. MJ doesn't want to be at NEVERLAND he said so. He stated in interviews it was tainted and he wasn't going back. Why in the hell would he want to be buried there? Put the man in Forest Lawn where his fans can see him. They way he talked about his love of fans, he would want somewhere they could go to pay their respects. Then, if the Jackson family wants to/needs to do some Memorial Theme park or whatever...go for it. Hell, Jermaine sounded damn good at the Memorial singing SMILE. Get him back on a label, reunite the remaining brothers; but stop the fighting over the money. MJ is gone and he ain't coming back and that's the cold reality. The family needs to take good care of his precious kids and bring them up in a loving, caring and as NORMAL an environment as they can. When the kids turn 18 then they can decide what, if any, public life they want to lead.

And as for the molestation crap; I am so sick of reading on TEH INTERNETS how MJ is a pedophile and a child molestor and good riddance. If you don't like the man, then just shut up. This will die down in a while. All he wanted to do was love and be loved and gave us some great music. Chill out, listen to some of his songs and believe me, you'll be feeling fine. MJ paid out a kid $20 million because he wanted the whole thing to go away. He made the wrong decision cause it made him look guility, however, that kid HAS NOW ADMITTED that his own father made him make the accusations for MONEY! The second accusation led to a court trial and MJ was found INNOCENT! It seems the motives of that child's family had a lot to do with seeing $$$ signs too. I believed for a while that maybe the charges were true and I lamented at the heartbreaking reality of what MJ had become in appearance. I don't think he was guilty. Perhaps some questionable things did take place, we'll never really know. That is between MJ and GOD or whatever LOVE FORCE we enter in the next realm.

I am gonna miss MJ alot. It's true, you really don't know what you got til it's gone. MJs gone too soon. Elvis gone too soon. Anna Nicole, Marilyn Monroe, Heath Ledger gone too soon. River Phoenix, gone too soon. Why? Drugs. To quote Southparks Mr. Mackey, "Drugs are bad, Mmmmkay!" Now I am gonna go listen to my Thriller CD and enjoy some damn good tunes that will NEVER DIE!!!


.......and thus ends my MJ rant. I feel so much better now. The internets are now safe from my wrath!!!!!

MICHAEL JACKSON MEMORIAL

John Mayer's spot on performance of "human nature" was incredible. Michael Jackson, your presence on this planet, in this plane of existence will be sorely missed and the world will never be quite the same. Thank you for your music. I will miss you more than I can say.

LOST SCOOP!!!!

From Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello Files comes this info: May's series finale is going to be a real downer, predicts Michael Emerson (Ben). "I don't think Lost will have a happy ending," he confessed to us at the Saturn Awards. "It's the end and I think we are going to start seeing more casualties. I would put money on major characters being killed. I believe it will be a sad ending to the show -- or at least bittersweet. I think it will definitely be a series finale for grownups." Emerson, meanwhile, is still trying to make sense of the season 5 finale. (Join the club!) "I killed Jacob... maybe... probably," he hedged. "It isn't like we haven't seen plenty of other people be killed and somehow come back. And what does it mean if I did kill him? I Who the hell was he anyway? Obviously, Ben wanted a father. So much of our show is about bad fathers. It is one of our biggest themes. And Jacob disappointed in those final moments. And maybe Jacob made it easy for him. Maybe that was all meant to happen. Is it all ordained? Maybe. And for that matter, can Jacob even be killed?"

My thoughts........

I wouldn't want LOST to be a syrupy, sickly sweet totally happy ending anyway. It's Science Fiction and that can never end happily ever after. I mean, can you picture Ben all happy and chipper without a care in the world? Yuck! Ben must get smacked down at LEAST once each episode. By now, this is both necessary and de rigeur. Can Jacob be killed? Damn I hope not. I want to see some more of that sexy God's favorite-barbecued-finger-food. Yummy. Jacob on a stick! Oh my, see what happens to my mind when I don't have my weekly LOST fix? Scary!!! And if a major character is going to get killed, Oh my Jacob, please kill off Kate! Thank you!

LADY GAGA

Okay, I really like the song Love Game by the aptly named Lady Gaga. I have seen her of course, as she's all over the mags, but I hadn't heard her doing her thang. The song is really good and reminds me of Madonna (when she was at her peak). Take a listen and let the music soothe your soul--or any part of your body that happens to be burning/tingling at this particular moment!!

Love Game - LAdy Gaga ft. Kanye West & Lil Wayne



MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD, ANYONE HEARD ABOUT THAT?!?

Ha ha ha. I'm kidding of course. You'd have to be dead or in a brain dead coma not to have heard this story for the past almost week, and even then you'd probably still know. So, it seems our late buddy Jacko had some drug at his house that is an anesthetic given by IV before surgeries and the like. Obviously MJ had some sleep issues and decided that seriously potent anesthesia meds was the way to go. The good news is it worked! The bad news is it worked too well. Honestly, couldn't Jacko have downed a few Ambiens? Those things make me go seriously into another dimension. Seriously. It is very sad that the Zombie played by Jacko in the Thriller video became what he actually looked like later in real life. If only we knew what he thought when he looked into the mirror. I doubt he was asking who the fairest in the land was, that is for sure!!

HAVE A GOOD TRIP TO NJ MS. PAULA!!!!

Drive safely and all that other jazz. Feel free to you know, get me any number of different Louis Vuittons while you're in NYC!!!!! Or Gucci, Prada, Juicy Couture etc., HA HA HA. When you return the great "LOST REWATCH 2009" will commence with a crap load of Chinese food to accompany it. Yum Yum. Me want some duck sauce!!! Nothing is better than watching LOST, seeing a shirtless Desmond as I munch hungrily on a a beef terriyaki stick. Oh get your mind outta the gutter. Yeah, yeah--what you're thinking IS what I meant!!!

RAIN RAIN RAIN

What in the the name of holy hell is it with all this damn precipitation? Is the summer gonna be a washout? Should I start building an ark??? Come on sun dammit, SHINE already!!!! If I have to be out of work at least let me be out of work with the appearance of tranquility via the sun. Summer goes by way too fast so let's have some decent summer weather NOW. And I mean RIGHT NOW!!

ANOTHER DEAD CELEB!

Karl Malden has joined the dead celebs of 2009 club. Apparently the club has become VERY relaxed on its member approval process. And Patrick Swayze is still hanging on. Also, I thought Karl Malden had died eons ago. My bad.

DEATH

Damn! The Grim Reaper has been busy this month hasn't he? Ed McMahon, Farrah, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays and Fred Travalena (don't ask). I'm sure I'm missing someone. It's like Death Central all over the news. What the hell man??? Which Celeb is gonna be next? Watch out Hollywood, the Spectre of Death is looming!!!


LOST NEWS

LOST will be 18 hours next season rather than the 17 planned. There will be a two hour premiere and finale with the regular one hour weekly episodes in between. More LOST can never be a bad thing. And please, more scenes of a shirtless Desmond would be nice. That isn't too much to ask is it? No!!!!

GOODBYE MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!

Well unless you've been under a rock or in a coma, you know Michael Jackson has died. True, he had been very "strange" in recent years, to put it mildly. Still he is unparalleled (arguably) in pop music. When I was a teen I LOVED MJ, thought he was cute and rushed home to watch THRILLER multiple times on MTV. I remember watching Motown 25 and being totally electrified with his performance of Billie Jean. It's too bad Michael changed so drastically since the THRILLER days, and its very sad he will not be here to give us any more music. My personal fave of his is "Human Nature" and "Off the Wall." So here are some videos to watch and enjoy MJ at his best, doing his thing!!!








* Good bye Farrah, you will also be missed. Sorry MJs demise cost you your due right for the headlines
*My niece had no idea MJ was NOT white!!!




LOST: HIATUS REWATCH

Paula and I will be doing a LOST rewatch during this final hiatus before
the final season of LOST. However, I have to find the LOST DVDs which
are still packed in some box down in the cellar. But sooner rather than
later LOST thoughts from the beginning will be posted by yours truly.
Any "excuse" to keep LOST going on this blog!!!! Is Jacob good or
bad??? Thoughts to ponder til January!!
The guy who plays Jacob will
be a recurring character on Supernatural, another of my fave shows, in Sept.
He will be playing the devil. Really. Devil on Supernatural God like
on LOST? Perhaps devil in both?? Hmm....

HAVING SOME FUN WITH LOST COURTESY OF YOU TUBE!

LOST: THE SITCOM JATED



If you haven't guessed, the theme song is from the Classic Sitcom "Angie" starring Donna Pescow AKA that chick who was in Saturday Night Fever.


LOST PARODY WITH APPEARANCE FROM THE TWILIGHT MOVIE VAMPIRE DUDE



LOST QUOTE OF THE (DAY,WEEK, MONTH whatever time frame I remember):


LOCKE: Well, Ben, I was hoping that you and I could talk about the elephant in the room.
BEN: I assume you're referring to the fact that I killed you.

DEAD FISH

Well, my friend's daughter's little fish died as the good Lord decided the fish has fulfilled his/her purpose in life and it was time to swim in paradise. Either that, or because Paula forgot to clean the bowl! Anyway, rest in peace little fishy and swim in the good Lord's grace.


LAND OF THE LOST

Well I went to see LOTL with my niece and some friends last night as Audrey was unable to make it. We will be seeing UP next weekend with her son. Anyhoo, LOTL was playing at Chunky's, a place that serves food like a restaurant and you watch the movie from your table. Food is named after actors or movies. Which got us to thinking about honoring David Carradine, the dude who just died while "in the closet." Janis aka Pooh, came up with the "David Carradine's Kung Fu Pulled Pork." Keep in mind, Pooh had just consumed two Margarita's and was feeling no pain. As for the movie, I, my sister in law and niece liked it. We like Wil Ferrell. Pooh and Paula didn't seem to share our enthusiasm but hey, it was a fun night out so what the heck. Oh yes, for any of you original LOTL fans, Wesley Eure who played Will in the original just came out as Gay. Gives a whole new meaning to Will and Chaka's relationship now doesn't it?

"ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK MAKES A HARD MAN HUMBLE....."

Or dead, in this case. The dude from the TV series "Kung Fu" of which I have never seen, but I digress, is decomposing as we speak. David Carradine, 72, was found dead in Bangkok, hanging in a closet. The current CNN news story makes no mention of the fact that he was NAKED which was reported earlier, so I guess we will have to wait for the autopsy for the real scoop. Sounds like autoerotic to me. Nobody kills themselves naked. Who would want their bare ass to be the first thing paramedics see when they find your corpse? No way! Especially a celebrity. We shall see if the autopsy proves me right! (Yeah and now I can't get that Murray Head song outta my head! Just great...)


LITERAL VIDEO PARODY OF JOURNEY'S "CLASSIC" SEPARATE WAYS

Oh this is too funny. Can you just see back in 1983 some idiot director saying "yeah, my vision is for the song to take place on a pier with alot of construction stuff. And the band will be playing pretend instruments while some ugly ass new wave chick that looks like someone from Human League walks by a few times. The guys will pay her no attention. There will be weird close ups." And then some even bigger idiot gives the go ahead thinking, "pure genius!"







LOST'S BEN TURNS THE FROZEN DONKEY WHEEL DONE IN LEGOS

"I hope you're happy now Jacob." Love it!

MTV MOVIE AWARDS: EMINEM ENJOYS SOME BUNS!!!!

HA HA HA. I didn't watch the show but I have of course seen the infamous clip of Eminem getting Bruno's (Sasha Baron Cohen) Buns in his face. Among other body parts. Was it or wasn't it staged? Either way, it was hysterical. I'm sure eminem knew. That landing took choreography. I guess 'ol Em has a sense of humor!

I'M A CELEBRITY .......GET ME OUT OF HERE.....

Okay, I admit it, I watched the show last night. Well, I had it on while I was online so basically the same thing. Since LOST has ended for the season I can only chalk up my viewing to crazed thinking. The only interesting part was watching Heidi and Spencer act like idiots. Unfortunately, they quit the show so basically there's no reason to watch. I'm not saying I like them, I think they are vapid fame whores with no talent. BUT it was fun watching them in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle sans any essentials. Guess we won't get to see either one of them getting eaten by a giant spider. Damn. The only "celebrity" on the show was Lou Diamond Phillips and he's too good for this crap. Now, I think a better idea would be to shove 80's hair band rockers into the jungle and watch the hilarity ensue. How about Brett Michaels, Anybody from Motley Crue, Sebastian Bach, that dude from Winger, and then maybe throw in some 70's dudes like Peter Frampton and Barry Manilow. Now THAT would be entertaining TV!!

UNEMPLOYMENT ABOUT TO END????

Yes, it seems it is a possibility. I am awaiting a call for a scheduled interview at a company near where I live making decent money and with good benefits. The training starts on June 15th. Keep your fingers crossed. I need money man. I need to get my hair and nails done! I want a new cell phone. Yep, just call me Kate Gosselin without the bitchiness, cheating husband and 8 kids.

LOST

I am planning on rewatching the episodes from the beginning. I really am. In fact, I may be watching tonight. Sunday starts the Blog wide re-discussion of the episodes from the Lostphere. I have 4 eps to watch. I will post my observations on the rewatch and I'm sure the entire world is waiting with bated breath for this to happen.

LAND OF THE LOST PREVIEW TRAILER

"Marshall, Will and Holly, on a routine expedition, met the greatest earthquake ever known, high on the rapids, it struck their tiny raft and plunged them down a thousand feet below...."


Loved the Kids show and the movie looks awesome and yes, my friends are going to be forced to go see it with me whether they like it or not. CHAKA!!!!!

MORE FUNNY LOST STUFF: ABC PROMO





LOST PARODY WITH MATTHEW FOX FROM JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW





ANOTHER LOST RECAP LEADING UP TO SEASON SIX

CHECK OUT THIS COOL PROMO MADE FROM A LOST FAN REGARDING S6

AND HERE'S THE OFFICIAL PROMO FROM ABC FOR SEASON 6

IDIOT SEES VIRGIN MARY IN HER IRONING BOARD

Yes, some whack job in, SURPRISE, Texas, has alledged to have seen an image of the Virgin Mary in all her holy glory, simply Click here to see the "miracle" for yourself. Now come on, if you were the VM (as I like to call her) would you appear in cheese sandwhiches, potato chips or dirty windows? Nooooo, you would not! Either appear in full apparition or don't. Maybe God is having a laugh at the expense of all the idiots who will pay big bucks for this crap on ebay. Jesus, God and VM are probably laughing at how gullible/stupid some humans are. Until I see the VM live in my room performing some miracle, I will remain skeptical that the all powerful gods would choose to reveal themselves in ironing boards.



THE ONION PRESENTS A LOST PARODY TV SHOW


The new series, a half-hour family-oriented comedy called Where There’s Smoke, is touted by ABC as the new anchor of its Thursday-night lineup.
“Somewhere between the smoke monster’s first appearance on Lost— when it was depicted as a strange unseen force uprooting trees—and that episode in season three where it grabbed Mr. Eko and smashed him against the ground until he was dead, this character became the breakout star of the show,” said Stephen McPherson, president of ABC Entertainment. “And that’s exactly why we’re so excited about Where There’s Smoke. We get to see the monster’s light comedic side in a show about life, love, and good friends having good times.”
“Because after all, Where There’s Smoke, there’s laughter,” McPherson added.


LOST REWATCH STARTS JUNE 1st

The great LOST rewatch uniting several big LOST blogs is set to start on June 1st and take us straight through to Season 6. For information on the schedule or to just read the insights, check out docartz.com for the revelant info. Sounds fun and ABC.com should have all the episodes online if you don't own the DVDs. I am gonna try and do recaps of all the older episodes. Lord knows, I got the time right now!!!


JON AND KATE ARE IDIOTS

Yes Jon and Kate are everywhere and honestly, what the hell have they done but spawned a litter of kids! It's done everyday in every country around the world. Big flipping deal. Kate knew what she was in for when she started those infertility treatments at such a young age and then decried that it was Society's obligation to help out since society created infertility treatments in the first place. WTF??????? If you can't afford to pay for your kids either A. Don't have them or B. Give them up for adoption. Kate is a mean bitch and treats Jon like crap. As the shows progressed it went from a show about cute kids to one about how Kate treats Jon and how/if he will stand up for himself. They've gotten loads of freebies and are worth at least $10 million. Is that not obscene? I'm gonna have me a litter of kids so I can get rich. They claim they have no help but it's readily apparent they have nannies. Ms Stay at home Kate is off plugging her book so she's never home. Who's taking care of the kids? Jon and the nannies. It's obvious from the show that Jon took a great deal of the responsibility of taking care of the kids while Kate yelled and criticized from the sidelines. Jon's no angel but if there's a divorce HE should get custody and Kate should pay support. It's obvious she wants the least amount to do with her kids as she can. How sad for those poor kids. I hope J & K have funds set up for those kids because it is THEY who are making the money for that family. For the trutch behind the PR spin check out the website Gosselinswithoutpity.com. Very insightful.


ABC and JJ ABRAHAMS HAVE CONFIRMED THE LOST STATUE

The Statue IS Tawaret. Check Wikipedia for further insights into that and what meanings it may hold. She is the goddess of fertility plus more stuff that is too convulted to go into right now. Oh what will Season 6 hold? Speculation on the LOST blogs is running rampant. Personally, I'd like to think Vincent is really GOD and he's overseeing everything the idiots on the Island are doing and will be the only one to survive at the end. Wouldn't that be cool?


X-MENS ORIGINS: WOLVERINE

I went to see this on Sunday with my friend Audrey. After a delightful meal at the outback we headed to the theatre. It was pretty empty for the Sunday before labor day but at least we didn't have to have idiot kids with their cell phone texting during the movie (what in the hell is SO important that you spend $8 bucks for a movie and still have to consult your damn cell phone????). Anyway, I have never seen any of the Xmen stuff and I like Hugh Jackman so we decided a glimpse of Jackman's butt was well worth the price. The movie was good, lots of adventure, fighting, chases. The usual par for the course stuff. Jackman's wife is killed and he vows revenge but (SPOILERS) it turns out she isn't really dead and was working with the baddies but in the end (as par for the movie course) she really did love Hugh (or his bod) and risked her life to save him. So, now she's deader then dead and Wolverine has his mind erased so he remembers nothing of her, his brother or his past. And that in a nutshell my friends, is the Wolvering Origins movie.


LOST PROMOS

There are some LOST promos floating around on Youtube with Jack and Terry Hatcher (From Desperate Housewives) which is quite funny. And another one with Hurley. I don't have the energy to post the links so I'm sure you can find them. Also check out the clip of Jack and Jimmy Kimmel (major LOST fan) having a staring contest. Funny stuff.


LOST IN GENERAL

Just cause it's the hiatus doesn't mean that I am going to stop writing about and speculating about LOST. So be prepared. I'm alos in the midst of rewatching old House shows so that my show up on this blog. Personally I hope House doesn't kick the Vicodin habit, he's more funny an interesting and ascerbic when he's on the pills.

LOST REWATCHING RECAPS COMING SOON

Since my Wed nights are now free until January I think I will start rewatching the show from the beginning (thanks ABC.com) and post my thoughts, opinions, speculations and theories based on that show plus what I know from all the other seasons (hindsight, if you will). One day, LOST is going to be a legend in TV shows and speculation about it will probably go on forever. Let's count ourselves lucky that we get to experience it now and be a part of TV history.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AUNT JOAN!!!!!


ANNOYING PERSON OF THE MONTH: KATE GOSSELIN

This yahoo really has to take the cake. I have watched the show, I admit. And in the beginning it was interesting seeing how the family coped with having 8 children and how they dealt with things like shopping, changing diapers, feedings and things like that. An average family trying to do their best. Their was love between Jon and Kate and affection shown to the kids. As the show progressed and the freebies rolled in, the all expense vacations, the mansion they acquired and Kate's horrible treatment of Jon (and her kids, especially the poor boys) really made me sick. I thought I was the only one. Then I found the website Gosselins without pity which brings all the lies and deciet to light. Looks like the media is finally catching on. Kate Gosseling is only concerned with herself and making as much money and being as famous as possible. While Jon is no saint, he does appear to love his kids and you can tell that they favor him over Mommy dearest. It's time for this show to end and those poor kids to lead normal lives. They must have more than enough money now. I'm sure in 20 years we will be reading "Kate dearest" books and having the True Hollywood Story: The Gosselins exposed as the kids spill their guts about growing up in that environment.

THE FIRST WEDNESDAY WITHOUT LOST, WAAAH!!!!



Yes, it is the first Wednesday since late January without LOST to watch. And there are 8 months until the final season. EIGHT FLIPPING MONTHS! Can someome please put me in a drug induced coma and awaken me for the Season 6 premiere? Well, there is certainly alot of stuff from this season's finale to ruminate over and discuss and theorize about. That's what is great about LOST it's a TV show that makes you think and brings about intelligent discussion. Sometimes alot of that intelligent discussion goes over my head, but still, I learn things and glean from it. I am going to rewatch all the shows from the start with some groups on other LOST sites. I missed almost all Season Two episodes due to issues I won't go into but I was back into it and totally obsessed by Season Three.


I had a thought that maybe Jack and Locke would end up as new time keepers of the Island ala Jacob and Mr X (the guy in black who is impersonating Locke). But then again, that sounds kinda dumb as it appears that Jacob and Mr X are playing some sort of game. Kinda makes me think of that scene from one of the Bill and Ted Movies where they play games with Death!! HA HA. Yes I know this has nothing to do with LOST but it is kinda funny. Are Jacob and Mr X Satan and God playing a game with humanity? That would be interesting but probably not how it will go down. I really do thing though that Jacob was talking about the Losties when he said "They're coming" when he was stabbed. I think the Losties, memories of all intact are gonna be sent back to the future (ha ha another movie reference) and fight in the "war" that Widmore said was coming. Juliet will probably be dead unfortunately but I have heard the actress who plays her will be making some cameos next season. The real Locke is dead but I still hope that somehow he plays a major role and helps save the day. Perhaps Miles and Hurley will be able to communicate with his body? There's got to be a reason Miles is on the Island besides seeing himself as a baby and saving his Dad (except for the hand.....).

What questions would I want answered in Season 6? I am glad you asked!!! I would like to know what Aaron and Walt have to do with anything? Aren't they supposed to be "special"? Who are Jacob and Mr X and why are they playing a game in the first place? What are the real roles of Ben and Widmore? What the hell happened with Claire? I also hope everyone winds up and stays on the Island where they belong. The scenes of the O6 back to civilization was BORING for the most part and I think us fans want our Losties on the Island where it began and where it will end (not a final ending but the ending of the show). Oh and by the by, LOST is going to be on THURSDAY nights next season. I'm not sure what time but I would imagine it will be at 9 pm same as usual.Now, I must go cry into my pillow for a bit but I will persevere and make it through these long 8 months the same as I did last time. And this time I know what state I'll be in when the new season starts!!!! (NO, not a state of confusion.......)

(UPDATE) I wanted to add a few more thoughts I had on the finale before I forget them. Obviously Mr X is taking Locke's form. But does he also take Christian's as well? Yes and No. When we see the form of Christian with the WHITE SHOES this is Jacob. When we see Christian with black shoes (the ones that Jack put on the real corpse of Locke) then that is Mr X. Also--I've read on some websites where people don't get Jacob's flashback interaction with Jack when he hands him the Candy bar and says something to the effect of "All it needed was a little push." I think that refers to the scene in the operating room when Jack froze when he made that mistake and Christian's speech "gave him a little push" which allowed Jack to successfully complete the surgery. And my very last thought for now is about Jacob touching certain people (Sayid, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Sun and Jin)--if you notice, when Ben stabs Jacob, Jacob falls onto Ben and also touches him! Perhaps these people who were touched will be the ones who are sent to the future with their memories of the past intact? Okay I am done, for NOW!

PS Vincent Rules!!!!

LOST SEASON FIVE FINALE: THE INCIDENT PARTS 1 & 2


OMG another season of LOST is over. It seems like it just started! Now I look at the LOST counter on the homepage of my blog and it is showing a ginormous (yeah I know, not a real word but it fits) amount of days until it starts again. And next year is the last season. What the hell am I gonna do then???? Holy cripes I'm gonna have to get me a life!! HA HA. Well I suppose for the hiatus I will rewatch from Season 1 and join the rewatching parties over at such LOST sites as Dark UFO and Nik at Night.

But onto the finale. It starts out with some dude in white watching a ship in the distance and cooking up a very nice piece of fresh fish. Biblical reference anyone? Well this dude is JACOB, THE Jacob that we have been waiting to see since forever. Not what I expected. I really thought Jacob was going to be Locke or Jack stuck in time. But Nooooo. Wrong again. We get a look at the intact statue which there has been much speculation on who it is. It's egyptian and could be many deities. I believe the ABC site confirmed it was Tawret but as I write this I am not sure and I don't feel like going to look it up. Anyhoo, I believe the ship in the distance is probably the Black Rock, you know, that ship in the middle of the Island, and the one Richard has been building in that bottle we've seen of late.

Soon another dude in Black shows up. Looks like he wants to kill Jacob but can't physically do it. Jacob does not seem to be overly concerned by this and is all "Bring it on dude, I'll be here when you finally figure out how to ice me." The dude, which many people are calling ESAU for simplicity's sake (Jacob and Esau are brothers in the bible who have a dispute which i won't go into. If you need to know more then open up your Bible and READ!) says he will fine a loophole and refuses Jacobs kind offer to share the fish. Now, I don't know what time period this takes place in, but if indeed it is the Black Rock ship and the statue is intact it has to be around the 1800s although Jacob and Esau don't seem dressed like you'd think they'd be for that era. Oh yeah, we also see Jacob spinning or weaving threads. Kinda like the fates in the ancient greek stories. Is it the threads of the Losties lives? Hmmmm..........

Well we've now met Jacob and we have discovered that Locke is not really Locke. Oh no my friends, he is Mock Locke. It's the Esau dude taking on Locke's form. He has found his loophole. He can't kill Jacob himself but he can get Ben to do it. Ben is prime for it with Mock Lock stoking the fire by asking why WOULDN'T he want to kill him after all Jacob hasn't done for him? Ben tried to get Locke once upon a time to kill his own father (which Sawyer eventually did) and now Mock Locke is getting Ben to kill Jacob. WTH????? I was kinda sad at this because it means LOCKE is dead. Really dead. Was he just a pawn in this game between Jacob and Esau? Or will somehow real Locke be resurrected and redeemed? If not, the poor guy, going through all that, thinking he was special and it turns out he was manipulated to fulfill a loophole in some game played by two ancient guys.

We see flashbacks of Jacob interacting with Kate, Jack, Hurley, Sayid, Sun and Jin, Sawyer and Ilana. Jacob touches everyone of them except Ilana. Is he making some kind of mark on them? It seems that Jacob may have anticipated Esau's loophole and is doing something to offset it. Jacob seems caring and friendly and even appears to resurrect Locke after he is thrown out the window by his bad dad. But is Jacob good? With this show, you never know. It would SEEM that Jacob is good but it could always be a red herring. After all, one could argue that his helping Kate out by buying that NKOTB lunchbox enabled her thievery and the giving of the pen to Sawyer allowed him to write that letter that would become his motive for Revenge all his life up to crashing on the Island. Did Jacob cause Nadia to get killed by calling out to Sayid, or did his actions save Sayid and Nadia was just fated to die? This show gives answers but then gives ten more questions with those answers. Either way it is coming down to a game of good vs evil or destiny vs free will or shades of gray.

Back in the 70's we have Jack all hopped up to ignite the bomb and reset the past, or so he thinks. Kate, Juliet and Sawyer go to stop him, Sawyer goes Postal on Jack and then Juliet breaks the boys up by saying she's changed her mind. WHAT????? So now she thinks it's a good idea to blow up everyone and the Island because Sawyer gave Kate some look? And Kate changes her mind after Jack tells her that this is the only way to ensure that Claire is reunited with her dingo bay-beh.

Poor Sayid is squirting out buckets O'blood while Jack and Sawyer have their smackdown but I guess Jack isn't too concerned because if his theory works, Sayid will be arriving safe and sound in Los Angeles. No harm, no foul. Miles is the voice of sanity when he states that perhaps the setting off of the nuke is what CAUSES the incident and you know, maybe they should just leave well enough alone? They probably should, but they won't!

I was glad to see VINCENT!!!! When he came running up to Saywer on the beach I was like YEAH!!!! And there were Rose and Bernard hanging out for three years under the radar, enjoying the life of Papayas and Dharma canned food they salvaged. Kate tells them about the bomb and Rose is like "It's always something with you people". It sure is. I think that Rose and Bernard should have been a bit happier to see their Island buds after three years with just each other. Even for just a visit. They do offer to tea to Juliet, which she declines after touching her stomache. Is she preggers or is this some innocuous thing that we interpret as something else because it's LOST? Probably the latter. Or the ladder as in Jacob's ladder? Ha ha. There I go reaching again at something that probably has little bearing on anything. But then again, you never know so I am throwing it out there.

Now we get to the part where Radzinsky is going bonkers about the drilling and won't stop no matter what. The drill hits the pocket of energy and naturally, all hell breaks loose. The Losties arrive and there is a shoot out and things being pulled by the magnetic force. Good to see Phil get splattered by the beam thing hitting him. Bye Phil we hardly new ye and good riddance to you. The Losties cover Jack so that he can throw the bomb down the shaft. Sayid has supposedly rigged the thing to go off on impact. It doesn't. Good old Pierre Chang gets his hand munched as we all knew happened and his son, Miles, saves him from further damage. It was really rather sweet when Miles yelled "Dad" for the first time and came to his father's aid.

The heartbreaking part of all of this is when Juliet is attached to a bunch of chains and sucked into the hole by the electro magnetic force. Kinda like Smokey dragging people into holes. Coincidence? Jules is holding on for dear life and Kate and Sawyer valiantly try to save her. Juliet sees everything falling and knows Sawyer will get smacked down himself so she lets go of his hand and falls to her doom. Or does she? Sawyer freaked out and damn I had the tears in my eyes I must admit. Jack and Kate have to drag him away. We next see Juliet, down in the shaft, a bloody and mangled mess. She would rather die or reset things than to lose Sawyer. Ahhh, how damn romantic. It's the Romeo and Juliet of the Technological World. Hey, I'd rather have my memory erased and start over then remember your damn face! With whatever strength she has she grabs a boulder and smashes the bomb (apparently 8 times as mentioned by another blog site) and then everything goes white. Did the bomb go off? Did Juliet die? Are things reset or was the flash of light the same thing that happened right before they were hurled in time??? Tune in next January to find out.

Wait, I'm not done. I need to get back to Mock Locke, Ben, Jacob and the Ajira people. First of all, they declare something about Frank being a "good candidate". For what? Both Frank and us viewers wanna know dammit. A vessel for Jacob? But wait, Frank's alive! So back in the statue, Mock Locke and Ben confront Jacob. Ben whines about "what about me" waah waah waah and then Jacob is all, "what about you" and so Ben does the natural thing that anyone would do in this situation, and stabs him. So now is Ben just a pathetic pawn rather than the sinister dude we've all come to love/hate? I hope not. If you ask me, and even if you didn't I'm gonna say what I think cause it's my blog. If you ask me, Jacob knew and perhaps even planned this. He didn't try to run away or fight. He egged Ben on by saying the exact WRONG thing and just stood there as Ben did his impression of Jason Vorhees. Oh yeah, and it appears Jacob knew the moment he saw Mock Locke that it was Esau cause he says to him something along the lines of " I guess you found the loophole". Again, my take is that Jacob is still one step ahead of this game and when he tells Mock Locke "they're coming" it pisses the hell out of dark dude so he tosses Jacob onto a roasting fire. Mmmm. Fish anyone?

That may be just what Jacob wanted. Could he be a Phoenix rising from the ashes? When he says that they are coming does he mean Ilana's crew or the Losties? Either way, Mock Locke ain't too happy about it. Some have speculated that Ilana may be some sort of Egyptian Goddess with restorative powers and that's why Jacob came to her to ask for her help. Ilana certainly knows alot more and I'm sure she will be spilling to the Losties when they are foomed back to the present. You really don't think they are gonna go reset the future do you? I mean, erase all that happened? No way. That would be like we watched all 6 seasons for everything to have never happened anyway. To quote Daniel, "Whatever happened, happened." So I think Daniel was right and he was wrong. You can't change the past, whatever happened, happened. But you CAN change the future by your actions that come about by free will and some Destiny thrown in. The Losties are gonna come back to the present with the knowledge they have gained from the past and that is what is going to make them change the future by winning the war. THEY are the variables!

I could go on and on about this episode. It had all kinds of excited things stuffed into it. It got me to thinking about Jacob being like "God" let's say. And those that believe in him have faith, even though they do not see him. Ben had Faith, but then lost it. No pun intended there. Much like we all do. Sometimes we want to see God as proof. Especially when something horrible happens and we wonder where was God??? If we were to confront God, as did Ben, would we ask, "well what about me?" I'm sure a great many of us would. Why not me? Why me? We would be angry. But the anger dissapates (hopefully!!) and we again have Faith even if we aren't given "proof". Or hell maybe we are all Pawns in God's little game and are helpless to do anything!! These are all good questions and no one really has an answer. But it does make you think, and as we all know, thinking is good, reading is fundamental and all that other crap.

I will add one last piece about Jacob and his Cabin. I don't think it was Jacob's. I think Jacob or someone had imprisoned Esau there (hence the ash around the place) that was then broken allowing Esau to escape and assume the forms of dead people to suit his needs. When Ben brought Locke to that cabin originally it was ESAU who was saying "Help me" to Locke and Christian was speaking for Jacob because Jacob was never there! He was in the damn statue.

What lies in the shadow of the statue asked Ilana to Richard. Richard responded in Latin with something that has been translated as "He who will save us all". Jacob is IN the statue, not in its shadow. Could it be the dead body of Locke that will save them as that's where he is laying right now. Or could it be Ben? Remember when Ben stated that "I lie. That's what I do." Hey, it might seem like a stretch in most cases but when it comes to LOST, anything goes, and how we love every last minute. January is a long way off but we made it through last time and we will make it through this time FOR THE LAST time. Time. Only fools are enslaved by space and time!

PS Please bring back Desmond next season without that annoying cloying Penny hanging about him!


WELCOME BACK ME TO 2009

I now have my computer functioning and my cable TV and DVR hooked up. Ahhh, I felt so lost without it and now it's back. I was literally going mental not being able to go online and read the reaction to the LOST finale. It was torture, it was hell. But, I made it through. Now all I have to do is find a job to pay for it. HA HA.


LAND OF THE LOST

The remake of Land of the Lost will be coming out soon starring Wil Ferrell and damn, I cannot wait to see it. Little Chaka, the Sleestak, and Dopey the sweet veggie Dino. I hope they don't muck it up like they did when they "remade" the show on TV a few years back. Who can get that theme song outta their heads either: "Marshall, Will and Holly on a routine expedition met the greatest earthquake ever known....." Sing it with me! I wonder if they will have Enok the good Sleestak on there? Guess I'll find out soon, coming to a theatre near me.

LOST: THE VARIABLE

Another great episode obviously the counterpoint to the classic "The Constant". LOST is full of opposites: faith vs destiny being an example which is exactly what these two episodes represent. Is everything set in stone WHH (Whatever happened happened) or is Daniel's about face correct that it is Free Will which governs (people's choice being the "variable?") Damn these are profound questions that I think all of us grapple with and the show really makes you think about these questions. Can there be Destiny AND Free Will? Is there a Constant that will happen no matter what but variables can make how we get to it change? Or is history WHAT HAPPENED due to our free will and thus now cannot be changed? I am gonna be up nights pondering these questions, I kid you not!

I love how at the beginning of the episode we see young Daniel playing the piano. I noticed the song he was playing was "I'm always chasing rainbows" kind of a Wizard of Oz allusion as well as a literal one in Daniel's case. Was his destiny to be a music virtuoso and he was pushed by his mother to be the scientific wacko genius we all know and love? But then again, his Destiny, no matter what he wanted, was to ultimately be a corpus Delecti courtesy of Mommy Dearest. Maybe Miles and/or Hurley can talk to his dead self. I think he is dead--Dead is Dead, right? Wrong. This is Lost and anything is possible. Another interesting thing from this scene is Daniel telling his mother he can "make time" for both music and his scientific genius. "If only you could" is her resigned reply.

I loved the meeting of the time travelers at Juliet and Sawyers place. They pretty much know the jig is up what with Phil having blackmail evidence as he bleeds all over the cabinets of Casa de Le Fleur and "Twitchy" showing up out of the blue totally changing his WHH tune. Sawyer calling Kate "Freckles" leads poor Juliet to give up the sonic fence code as she aptly states "It's all over here for us anyway". How right she is and she's known that since Hurley, Kate and Jack showed back up. Finally Sawyer is resigned to the fact that his idyllic three year Dharma ride is over as well. Sawyer thinks taking Faraday to the Hostiles is a mistake and gets ready to lead his people minus Kate and Jack, to the beach. Sawyer's leadership days are numbered as it looks like Workman Jack is back in the saddle again.

The scene where Daniel confronts Chang has me a bit confused. I'm really not sure why Miles denied who he is and didn't back up Faraday's claims. Another weird thing is why Faraday wanted a weapon when A. He didn't know how to use it properly and B. There was no need for it. I mean, if he wasn't brandishing a weapon like an idiot then Radzinsky and company probably wouldn't have shot at him and going into the Hostiles camp with a weapon was really, really stupid. It's almost like Daniel had a death wish. Did he somehow know he was going to die? It did seem a surprise to him that it was his Mother who pulled the fatal trigger.

As for Eloise, what the hell man? Does she really have clairvoyance or perhaps, the reason she knows what she does is that after Daniel is killed in the 70's young Eloise takes his journal and knows due to the information from that and when Daniel is killed, that is the end of her knowledge. This is why she tells Penny for the first time she doesn't know what is going to happen next. She doesn't know because once Faraday is dead obviously the journal ends. So why is she so intent on preserving this timeline? If she is so sure WHH why doesn't she just let fate take it's course. Is something else supposed to happen ? Is she worried that somehow if there is a "variable" that can change things that it'll be worse than what originally happened? And why tell Desmond that the Island wasn't done with him? How does she know that if the journal ends? Does she perhaps have some knowledge that comes from something else? Perhaps like Desmond's flashes???? It is all so confusing but that's the beauty of the show. It makes you THINK.

I wasn't that surprised that Widmore turned out to be Daniel's Daddy but I'm still confused why Eloise knew how to get back to the Island but Widmore didn't. Of course Ben said once you turn the FDW you can't come back yet somehow both he and Locke made a return, why can't Widmore? Is Widmore bad? Did he fake the crash like he said or is he lying?

I had a weird theory that if the Losties change time than maybe instead of ending up on the island or landing back in LA safe and sound, they end up dead in the ocean just like the "faked" crash and that is the reason we are shown the scene of crazy mind trippy Daniel crying while he watches the TV footage and says "they are all dead". Maybe he realizes that he DID change things but instead of making things better, everyone died? Yeah I know, it has alot of holes in it for all kinds of other stuff (Smokey, the statue, Jacob etc) but hey, my mind had a mini light bulb so I had to share it however wrong it may be.

This leads me to my last point. WHY would the Losties want to try Daniel's very weird and scary plan of detonating jughead to change the future? They were all miserable people (druggie Jack, Arrested Kate, Revengeful Sawyer, etc etc.) Do they really think things will be BETTER? Wouldn't the Universe just course correct anyway? What happens to their 1970's selves, do they just disappear? So many questions! And yet another theory bandied about is that the Losties trigger the incident by trying to stop it. IRONY in a major way, another LOST theme. Much like Sayid shooting young Ben trying to stop him from becoming "bad Ben" when in fact, the shooting is what sets Ben on that course in the first place!

Only two more episodes left, I cannot believe it!!!! What the hell am I gonna do til next January? HA HA. I did read that the finale is going to show Vincent (YEAH!!!!!!) and give info on what happened to Rose and Bernard (finally).


BACK IN NH

Well I am back in NH homeless and jobless for the moment! It's like I never left really, which is odd. Much like LOST, I believe I was only meant to be in Texas for the time that I was there and that my real Destiny is to live in California. It's those damn variables though that keep getting in the way!!!! It's been great seeing my family and friends though. Hopefully things will be better, I will grow as a person, get a job and in the next couple of years finally realize my dream of living in CA which is where I feel I belong. Much like LOST though, who the hell knows monkey wrench will be thrown in to change things!!!!! But as far as I know, there is no smoke monster around. Unless......

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.
