...Lost

1. Sayid broke a guy’s neck with his feet. With his feet!

2. The love quadrangle was in full effect. The look of pain on Kate’s face when Jack kissed Juliet. Jack telling Kate he loves her, Sawyers Han Solo like chivalry, and his complete inappropriate question for Juliet, and most interestingly future Kate’s reference to the “he” in her life.

3. Who else was mad at Charlie for not even trying to not die? He could of swam out of the porthole…he’s small, he’s a hobbit for goodness sakes!!

4. During the opening sequence I instantly got a tom Hanks “Castaway” vibe from Jack and totally knew it was a flash forward to post-island

5. Hoffs/Brawlar (Funeral home) is an anagram for “Flash Forward”

6. What I couldn’t figure out is who’s in the casket. I initially thought it was Kate. I took a look at some screen caps today though. It was a man. And his name is Jo…. ….antham. Who????? I could make out a few words here and there. It appears as though who ever it is was from New York, lived in a loft in L.A. and here’s where I’m really guessing, hung himself from a beam in his loft.

7. Yep 7. As in the number of months we have to wait for the next season. ARRRGG!

...present day

Every year for my parents anniversary my whole family does a gift exchange. Here are the highlights...

1. DVD's galore
Middle sis (MS) got my dad Magnum P.I., my mom The Oprah 20th anniversary DVD, and little sis (LS) a Bratz movie. MS herself received Gilmore Girls season 3 from LS (sponsored by my parents, she's 7) and season 5 of GG from me. And My parents got her a portable DVD player to watch them on :)

2. Take a Hike
My parents got me a kelty internal frame backpack for all my summer camping adventures

3. It's ALIVE
LS has taken a liking to a series of books about a little girl mad scientist named Franny K. Stein. So I bought her a boxed set of the books and a doll of the title character.

4. Game on
LS also got a few video games. Cars from MS and Walace and Gromit, and Pac Man World from my parents

5. Muzak
LS got me 2 CDs. Michael Buble who I'm only slightly familiar with but I like that style so I know I'll like it, and Joss Stone who I love.

6. G-L-A-M-OUS
MS got me a Sephora gift card. It's as good as spent.

7. Photo Op
My sisters and I went to Henry Ford Estate and took a ton of pictures. I took the 20 best, made them black and white photoshoped them up and put them in a photobook. My mom cried.

...what's up

1. Saw spider man 3. Loved it, except for the part in the jazz club when it became "The Mask"

2. Getting Physical. I scooped up a treadmill from a friend before she had a chance to list it on Craigslist, and so far it hasn't just been ornamental. I've actually gotten on it in the morning...before work. Can you believe it?

3. Obsessing over Lost. Once a week hasn't been enough of a fix for me, so I re watched the first two seasons. I also subscribed to the podcast. Which isn't terribly informative...but entertaining. Yes I'm lame.

4. Buying presents. My aunt and uncle's 50th anniversary was this weekend. I didn't have a clue what to buy them. They are pretty well off, and don't really need anything. But they love to travel so I got them a travel book. Coming up I have my family's present day, another big anniversary, and a house warming gift. Which leads me to..

5. Being kinda broke. I'm afloat, don't get me wrong, but the nice little cushion I had going has been considerably depleted. Trip to Florida, working a car payment into my budget...it all adds up.

6. Relationship growing pains. It happens to every couple. Misunderstandings arise. Lately my guy and I have had more than usual. But it seems like we come out of each one just a little bit closer than before.

7. Voting for Gavin. And you should too.
