take the A train... to The Arrow.

in honor of his belated-bday, and also in honor of lost season 6 starting tomorrow, please see the dharma rapid transit map, forwarded from E. now we can just take the T train out to the looking glass, and don't have to look for a cord in the sand anymore!

also - a great lost timeline from nytimes. has some good video clips and organizes some major happenings in lost along a real timeline.

oopdaytz.

thanks to e, for pointing me in the direction of this. really really love hurley's mr. cluck's promo...

thank you, e.

today, you are the king of linkage.

here you go, e.

aside from shenanigans at work, yes, everything is ok. i haven't forgotten about you.

apparently i am the source of all things lost for certain people, so i'd like to officially announce the lost hiatus rewatch project. several lost bloggers are getting together, have created a schedule, and plan on rewatching all 5 seasons of lost in preparation for season 6. sounds crazy, right? well, if you're a lostaholic like me, you'd think this project was super-awesome. it just started a week or so ago, and everyone is blogging the old episodes, but with our current knowledge of jacob, flocke, widmore, ricardus.....etc. one of my favorites so far is jo, but you can also check out docartz and lostpedia for other postings on the rewatch and scheduling.

last night, we saw mr. david byrne in concert in brooklyn at prospect park. (new milestone - the deepest i've ever been into brooklyn!) he played mostly new stuff, but got a few oldies-but-goodies in there, like once in a lifetime.

still will be my favorite, always:



in other news, has anyone been watching the new bravo show the fashion show? it's basically the poor man's version of project runway. no heidi, no tim gunn (but who could ever replace him?)... i've been watching just because what the hell else is on, but i'm really waiting for project runway to come out again. i don't even care that it will be on lifetime.

don't tell me what i can't rue.

i don't know about you, but i have been in serious lost withdrawl. thank goodness tvgasm came to my rescue today with the recap of the second half of the lost finale. i know some of you aren't too keen on the funny-style recaps, but this one is gold. and honestly, what else do you have to live for at this point?

we're still waiting on more doc jensen and the LLL recap. stay tuned. in the meantime, you can ponder this question from e:

"yo, so when locke's douchebag father appeared on the island, you think that was also anti-jacob/smoke monster guy?"
and if it wasn't really anthony cooper, then that dude is still alive! and - who the hell did sawyer really kill?!

one more thing about this new imposter-locke. i am really liking his new names, including flocke (fake+locke) and mocke (mock+locke). any other good ones out there?

come ON, dan brown.

i received an email this morning with an announcement stating that dan brown would be releasing a new book with us in the fall. i asked my co-worker if it starred tom hanks again and, via robert langdon, yes it does.

the press release continues: “This is a great day for readers and booksellers,” said Sonny Mehta (chairman and editor-in-chief of knopf doubleday). “The Lost Symbol is a brilliant and compelling thriller. Dan Brown’s prodigious talent for storytelling, infused with history, codes and intrigue, is on full display in this new book. This is one of the most anticipated publications in recent history, and it was well worth the wait.”

let's hope it's that good. the book is having a first printing of five million copies, the largest first printing in random house history. i really really hope the book is all it's cracked up to be, otherwise we could all be in deep doo-doo. as an nymag article (forwarded to me by e with the subject line "you're famous!") said, "if the Greatest Sequel of All Time disappoints, the greatest layoffs of all time are sure to follow.

come on, dan brown...

my friends are t-shirts.

was just browsing my absolute fav, threadless.com when i started finding shirts that would be good for certain awesome people in my life...

for a: "biggie was right"

for z: "pancake mountain"



this one can be for z too, but mostly if you swap out "raisins" for "olives." ew. olive cookie.



for e. well, i think it speaks for itself.



clearly for l. she loves the dance.



for j. considering the trouble she gets me into, i can't imagine what she does on her own.



um. that's what she said.


seems appropriate for all involved.

and the winner is...

just wanted to let everyone know that E has won the most-amazing-friend-of-the-month award! not only is he just an excel wizard, he was patient and nice enough to help me with my crazy, custom excel graph questions. like, really really patient and helpful. thanks man. you rock.
