SPOILER alert!

when we last saw our heroes, jim and pam were at the hospital waiting to get some test results back, while dwight was doing his best to stall the volleyball game against corporate. want to know the rest? nymag is glad to spoil it for you. i'll remind you again that this is highly spoilery, but i doubt you'll be surprised if you do take a peek.

vomit-fest.

thank you to tlc for inundating me with commercials about the time traveler's wife movie, coming out this friday! even though i previously said i was "excited" for this movie to come out, that was only because it's one of my all time favorite books of all time. unfortunately, the trailer makes me want to stab my eyes out, and makes me so sad for its suckiness. here it is, but don't say i didn't warn you...




if you see it, let me know what you think (especially if you read/enjoyed the book).

that being said - i will remind you all that i will be away for the next 2-ish weeks. i will be sure to look out for goo blobs, and do bucko updates when i return!

faraday plays evil??

first off, it's really difficult to imagine my man faraday in any sinister role. on lost he plays a nerd-tastic scientist, he's in love, he's loyal to his mother. not the meanie type.

but according to ew.com, this same man (well, the actor anyhow) plays charles manson in a 2004 tv movie! manson AND jeremy davies?! this i must see. and if you click on the ew.com article, you can barely tell who is the actor and who is the real manson. scary stuff. apparently his performance is on fire, so this is a must see for me. has anyone else seen it? do tell!

love and love it.

only wish i had ever thought of this project. but as the deb said, it's a good opportunity to clean out my closet (which it has needed for approximately 10+ years.)

YES.

for the first time in my life, i'm right about something sports-related. check out the "pronounced" section.

that's boss.

it's august, and that means that the boss is back from her month-long sabbatical. to officially welcome the newbies to her team, she got us all initial mugs. i love presents for no reason! woo woo to the c&b team!

science nerd.

yes, i am. and when i found out yesterday that they might be giants is coming out with another (who knew they had any?!) kid's cd/dvd called here comes science, i knew i had to have it. not only do i just love science. and music. and sciencey musicians who also make kidlet music. BUT - it reminds me of one of my all time favorite books, science verse. observe:


















and equally as good as some of the titles in science verse - "amoeba" and "mary had a little worm" - are on the here comes science cd - "meet the elements", "electric car" and "roy g. biv". did i mention that I'm excited??

bah!

had to tape up my phone due to false message indicator lights. how did that come on if no one called me, and i have no messages?! more importantly, how do i turn it off??

my new favorite picture.

can you imagine what it would be like if ben, hurley and richard really were just chillin' together?

for suliet fans.

here's a spoiler for all of you weirdos who care about juliet. just a nice service i'll provide for those few of you who actually like this shady, shady chick.

i need a vacation.

the austrian accent is implied.

at least i don't look as bad as this though...

now might need an iPhone...

due to this new app. more importantly though, can it tell me if i'll like the rabbi, the service, the songs, the people, the area, the classes.... and where is the nearest and yummiest kosher restaurant??

sometimes, fashion posts are for the boys.

i'm a late bloomer to the j crew land. i used to think their pants were too boxy for me and therefore never shopped there. but a recent trip taught me otherwise, and i am now in love with their skirts and fancy tshirts (my new fav across the board).

so, i was walking by ex-co-workers mailbox today and saw the new j crew catalog. finders keepers! as i was flipping through, i noticed a picture of the moon is down. the pic looked exactly like what you see here, all vintagey and old. um, what? the line next to the picture said "shop our vintage book collection at the Men's Shop in Soho". so - now j crew is telling me how to further accessorize my preppy/hipster lifestyle with old books? that does work well with my already-beat-up leather messenger bag... ok, i'll bite. after some research i found this post about the new soho store, with a very cool slideshow. i lourrrrve the vintage cufflinks they show, as well as the general old-timey vibe of the store. have any of you lovely men been out to the new j crew manland? is it extra cool? or just regular j crew in disguise?

oopdaytz.

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

put on your dharma jumpsuits.

oh. man. the 2009 comic con is behind us. sadly, i was not there, but did follow some of the excitement on twitter. (more or less nerdy? discuss.) here is an article to get you going with lost scoops and insights. more to follow as i comb through.

most important recap from that article?
"In response to a fan question, the producers said that the mysterious Jacob has never assumed the form of anyone else, such as Claire."
