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.
