never ever leaving this job...

because this is what happens when you ask your friends in the warehouse to send you just 3 books.

dog halloween.

are you one of those people who insist on dressing their dog up for halloween? (of course, my parents are taking mimi to this year's dog costume dog parade at the chicago botanic gardens...) but whether you are a costumed-dog lover or hater, you will definitely love this nymag gallery of hilarious dog costumes (and accompanying captions). i guarantee it.

your brain esplode.

with most things lost, you really need to strain your brain to understand just what (and when) the hell is going on. here's another doozy, mostly because it is so far back in lost-time, you may have already forgotten this encounter.

check out this recent excellent zap2it article that ponders the mystery of how did ben (formerly know as henry gale, from minnesota) get into rousseau's net?

also, how is everyone feeling about the recent developments about lost, season 6? a few episodes in january, and then a hiatus for the winter olympics. as much as i love the olympics, i'm pretty sure i could spare it this year for uninterrupted lost viewing.
