update on jesus+lost!

updated promo pic. similar, but different. does this one have an significance? or is it just a promo?

i like to think of jesus as a mischievous badger

have you seen the new lost promo pic with the cast posed as the last supper? here is a great analysis by docartz.

some things it does not address:

1. what is the hand in the corner doing holding up the sun? who does this hand belong to?

2. does it look like there is a shadowy/papery figure standing behind ben? who could that represent?

3. to me, it looks like sawyer is slyly looking at locke, like he's trying to pull something over on him. maybe trying to subtly grab whatever his hand is going towards?

also - lost starts in less than a month! have you recapped?

i am a black belt in gift wrapping.

ever wanted to design your own tote bag? now is the time! check out the jonathan adler site, where you can design your own rugs, pillows and tote bags. better than the personalized mug or mousepad gift! enjoy!

dino plant.

pretty sure i need this for my office. best part? you can forget to water it! that's how i take care of all my plants! but this one will just hibernate for 50 years until i remember to take care of it again. sweet.

too bad birthday/hanukkah is over...

ahoy!

basically what i look like today. ok no, i don't have a beard.

but otherwise, i am a fisherman in maine.

all lost, all the time.

yea, between now and summertime, that's about all we'll be discussing. a few items:

- NEW doc jensen post today
- check out the cool art from a recent lost art show. some really amazing work.
- here is my favorite, which doc tells us contains at least two spoilers on season 6.

wanted to share this exchange in lost, from the episode follow the leader in season 5, just because i love it:

MILES: Dr. Chang? What are you doing here?

DR. CHANG: I could ask you the same question.

HURLEY: But we asked you first.

DR. CHANG: Your friend Faraday said that you were from the future. I need to know if he was telling the truth.

HURLEY: Dude, that's ridiculous.

DR. CHANG: What year were you born? What year?

HURLEY: Uh... 1931?

DR. CHANG: You're 46?

HURLEY: Yeah. Yes, I am.

DR. CHANG: So you fought in the Korean War?

HURLEY: There's... no such thing.

DR. CHANG: Who's the President of the United States?

HURLEY: All right, dude, we're from the future. Sorry.

catch up?

how are you planning on catching up on all five seasons of lost in preparation for season 6? i've been rewatching most of the episodes (they're all on hulu right now), but then again i'm crazy. z is reading all of the episode recaps on lostpedia. while that doesn't sound as fun, it's definitely a plus that you can do it at work.

or, you can read some articles and recaps. as you know, i usually stick with doc jensen on ew (new every tuesday now) but zap2it has new lost theories, musings, articles and recaps every day. you'd think that would get boring, but you'd be wrong. they recently had 2 weeks worth of articles on free will vs. fate in lost. a recent article there that i really enjoyed discussed what season six might look like if time did reboot.

whatever your method, get prepared for feb 2! because you know i won't like it if people spend the first 10 minutes of season 6 asking me who miles is.

and, now im hungry.

z found an ice cream bench! im not sure if i want to sit on it or eat it. though i bet velvet is not tasty.

also -

Michael: Hey, hey, everybody, Ice-cream sandwiches! Aaaahh! Here you go. Take one, take one. It's all good. Phyllis, think fast. Oh, oh, I see Angela. Angela? Right? Waaaaah! Oh, hey temp. Why don't you take two? Because you don't get health care. And uh, faster metabolism.

truce!

doc jensen discusses all things lost! this week, the addendums to the letter of truce between the dharma initiative and the Others (starts on page 5 of the article).

ou est le bibliotheque?

has been stuck in my head all day, thought i'd share. thanks, z.

linguistic lunacy.

i'm pretty sure that this could be categorized as child abuse.

a linguist, d’Armond Speers, decided to only speak to his newborn son in Klingon. yea, you heard me right. according to wikipedia:

"Dr. Speers is known for having undertaken the endeavour to raise his child bilingually in English and Klingon; Speers spoke in Klingon and his wife in English. A few years into his life, the child began rejecting Klingon and gravitating towards English, as he could use English with many more speakers. At the time of Speers' attempt, Klingon even lacked words for many objects common around the house, such as "table". The experiment ultimately failed when the child refused to use Klingon when he got older."

of course, now this guy has been hired to help create an official Klingon dictionary. and i thought i was weird...

wah wah wah.

tis the season to make kids cry. i think one reason these kids are so upset is - some of these santas are really creepy!

can you feel the excitement?

i sure as heck can.

here is a new doc jensen article for you! so sorry if you just finished the article posted yesterday but there is a new season to discuss and get psyched up for!!

this week's article: is there any connection between lost and groundhog day? for those of you who may not know yet, season 6 of lost starts on february 2, 2010, i.e. groundhog day. and if you've seen the movie, you know what kind of time-reboot implications that might have (i.e.: "Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.")! (And if you haven't seen groundhog day, what the heck is wrong with you?!)

YES!

he's back. the guru of lost recapping is BACK.

a new doc jensen article to finally appease our lost appetite, and get us psyched up for the start of season 6!

happy pre-deceberween.

if you don't have a clue as to what deceberween is, you haven't been visiting my favorite site, homestarrunner.com. definitely, check it out.

also, please enjoy this thanksgiving cartoon from a few years back. one of my favs. happy turkey day!
