LOST Makes My Brain Hurt…AWESOME!
From Kurt…
Lost -
How AWESOME was last night’s Lost? Absolutely crazy….my brain still hurts from it…in the best way possible. It totally blew away all my expectations…two separate realities? Or is it just one…and one isn’t a reality? What?
So much for the theory that the show ends with the plane landing at LAX….becuase, as we saw last night…the plane has already landed.
Random Thoughts….
8:05 - They’re on the plane? Nooooooo! I did not want to see this…but hey, it’s Rose! Whoo hoo! And Bernard is back from the bathroom! Rose and Bernard together…they’re great.
8:20 - What? Juliet is still alive? Of course she is…why wouldn’t you survive a hydrogen bomb explosion? She’s a fighter…for now, at least.
8:30 - Hey…Frogurt is back! Can we shoot him with a flaming arrow again?
8:45 - Almost an hour has gone by…I still have no anwers…man, this show is frustrating…I LOVE IT!
8:50ish - The Man in Black is Smokie? AWESOME!!! By the way, please, we need the name of the Man in Black…it’s way too long to type. Can we just call him Steve? That works right? The facial expression of Ben when he sees dead Locke is priceless. Ben, Jacob was right…you have a choice.
8:50ish - Juliet is dead…again. This time, though, I don’t cry. I can’t cry everytime Juliet dies.
9:05 - The Temple! We finally see the temple! And they don’t have shoes! 4 years since we saw the barefeet dragging a teddy bear through the jungle…and it finally comes full circle. This is fantastic.
9:20ish - Juliet (from the grave) “It worked”. What? What did? Arrrggghh!
9:30 - The plane lands…d’oh.
9:40 - Kate escapes…d’oh. Can we please capture her!?
9:45 - Sayid is dead? They drowned him and it didn’t work? What? Hanh?
9:55 - Man in Black “Hello, Richard, it’s good to see you out of those chains?” What? AWESOME!
10:00 - Sayid returns to life…it has to be Jacob right?
This show is fantastic…tremendous…super tremendous. I only have more questions than answers. Greatest…upcoming…season…ever.
Win a Date With Whitney Port -
What? This is a real contest? It can’t be…this has to be like the gag prize that they have on Let’s Make a Deal, right? Like, I’ll take what’s behind door #3…hoping it’s a car, and instead it’s a burro with a cart of hay….except it’s Whitney Port with a cart of hay.
A date with LC could be a prize…just because you could sustain a conversation with her regarding all of her idiot boyfriends.
A date with Audrina could be a prize…because you know you’re going to get some later on.
Even a date with Heidi Montag could be a prize…because you could just stare at her, and try to count the number of things wrong with her. Also, I imagine Spencer would accompany her, and you can never pass up a chance to roll up a newspaper, hit him on the head, and say “no”.
Whitney Port doesn’t bring anythign to the table. I’m sure she has a good personality though…no, wait, she’s on MTV…she lacks personality. Maybe she’ll at least pick up the check.
My New Approach -
I don’t kow if this “phenomenon” happens in your place of work…but people around our building walk around way too fast. They’re like speed walking up and down the halls (and yet, many deadlines still aren’t met). I walk slowly, so already everyone has the assumption that I will miss a deadline. If I happen to meet a deadline, everyone is very surprised (and they throw a party…with streamers, glitter, it’s a grand old time).
I don’t have a problem with the speed-walkers…except for the fact that when you’re walking down the hall, you can hear their footsteps gaining on you. I’m always ready to turn around in a “Street Cheetah” pose ready to take on my attacker.
That withstanding, here’s my biggest problem…these speedwalkers just zoom around the corners of cubicles…and they’re never looking…I’ve nearly been run down 7-8 times this month alone. I always have to jump out of the way…and I always find that it’s me who says “Excuse Me”…although, I have done nothing wrong. That changes today…I am no longer moving out of the way. If you zoom around the corner without looking…you’re going to crash into me. I’ll be ready for it…so I won’t fall…you might…and I won’t apologize…as I walk away, I will say “Seriously, slow down and look both ways”.
NOTE: The first time this happens…I guarantee you, it will be a fantabulous tale to tell on the Blog!
ITunesDay -
Nothing really yesterday…very disappointing. I saw that Lil Wayne came out with another album. I like Lil Wayne…but I don’t really know if I’m a fan of his music…I just think Lil Wayne is crazy…in a good way. A year in prison will only increase his fantastic craziness!
Bringing the World Together -
Okay, well at least Packer and Bears fans…take this Vikings fans…
Answers to Comments -
From Michelle - “One day I had my iPod on shuffle, and I went from Garth Brooks to Marky Mark to Ethel Merman. My head almost exploded” - ANSWER: You win Michelle…most random Playlist of all time!”
From Matthew - ” I will feel cheated if Lost pulls a Favre and ends up airing a new season next year too…or the year after that..or the year after that etc.” - ANSWER: Wow! That’s all I can say…well put. Well played sir!!
From Jenny - “ Hey! You would appreciate this… I burnt some songs on a CD for a friend a while back and I even named it The CD of Awesomeness. (this was before this blog ever existed!) and I put a warning on the CD to be careful of the awesomeness. - ANSWER: “AWESOME!”
From Hanhfish - “Today is nacho day at hubble - better get yo spot in line!” ANSWER: Nacho day at Hubbell at Drake was the greatest day of all-time at Drake…It started at 11am…if you weren’t there by 11:04, you might be in line for 25 minutes. Hanhfish, Irey, Ry, and I ditched class well over 5 times to make sure we made it to nacho day in time. All it was was clear container of nacho chips topped with chili, imitation cheese, sour cream, and jalapenos…it was like the nectar of the gods. See you there Hanhfish!
AWESOME is as AWESOME does!

I think Pink was singing live as well. She does this in her concerts, while it is amazingly hard to sing upside down, it was a low-register song and she has been doing this for at least 3 years. We all know Taylor Swift was live… GAG she was sharp and flat at the same time, which is a great talent Taylor!
Lost… I skipped it because I think I’m going to buy the DVD’s now and start from the beginning. Jake has no interest, but he doesn’t get a vote.
I am a speed walker. But I have to be. I have meetings in a building by Wells Fargo Arena, The Hub Tower and Capital Square. I am a speed walker that sticks to the outside on corners, not because of the fear of running into a brick wall of Kurt (or anyone else) but because if I take corners too sharp I always check the wall with my shoulder. I’m a total klutz. My face book status the other day was “How to make a deformed snow angel: 1 part dress shoes + 1 part snow on the sidewalk. Oh well at least the smokers outside my building got a good laugh, I just got a wet butt.” I’m proud of my mistakes, I think they are funny. I just hate trying to remember how I got bruises…. Especially the ones that occur the day after partaking in adult beverages.
iTunes day, speaking of Pink again I finally bought her album Funhouse (Expanded Version) I really actually like it. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 AWESOMES! Quite the varity of music on it too.
I also made a strange playlist: Old School Music (Reliving Elementary school grades 2nd-4th) LOL This is what I do when procrastinating homework, I spend money on iTunes: Don’t tell Jake!

Nothing like bringing back memories of the Skating Rink. If you guys can think of any good old school songs I missed let me know! (I knowingly admitted Ice Ice Baby, and Too Sexy)
We had Old Chicago Last night for Dinner. I refused to eat, I had a Sprite. I absolutely hate their food. It isn’t worth paying me to eat there but it is where our friends wanted to go and I’m not a party pooper. Horrible food, bad prices, their bar sucks at pouring drinks, and the wait staff is the worst in the entire city! I gave them this feedback one time and they mailed me a book of ‘free’ coupons. I returned it to sender. I went home and fixed a co-jack grilled cheese and ate a brownie.
Have an Awesome Day!

I have found that if you go “outside the box” or “above and beyond the call of duty” it soon becomes “Michele, do this” and soon becomes a description of job duties called “duties as assigned”. Set the bar low and you won’t be asked to go beyond that limbo bar. I like it there, it works for me.
We have one of those speed demons in our office except add a big helping of “My sh*t doesn’t stink and I’m better than you” attitude to it. Well to me everyone’s poop is less than attractive, even the powerful ones. I stopped hopscotching to avoid the run ins and let her barrel into me a few times and sure enough she now recognizes me, acknowledges me and steps to the side. And I walk with the “that’s what I thought” attitude.
can’t wait to hear the tales of demolition from you, enough body slams and people will pay attention!

You just steped into the Hand Fish and Producer KVA arena with that list Nathan - if you see us in a bar with touch tune machines be prepared for musical wondery.
All Jim Bobs litter loves it as well.

Well, Nathan, if we are talking about early 90’s skating rink songs, then you are clearly forgetting SWV…particularly I’m So Into You. Whenever I hear that these days, it totally reminds me of Skate South.
But then there is also anything by Color Me Badd (two D’s please!), Brandy, Aaliyah, Guy, Tevin Campbell, I Got A Man by Positive K and of course Supersonic by JJ Fad. Also, I don’t see Baby Got Back?? Can that be correct?
BTW, Regulate came up on my iPod at work yesterday and that just makes me happy!
Kurt…Lost…AWESOME…although I have no clue what’s going on!
I did let out a “CHARLIE!” When he was on screen. It was cool to have some of the old people back…Charlie, Boone, Claire…
I have no idea what the two realities means. I took Juliet’s “It worked” to be in reference to the bomb plan working, but I don’t know A) How she knows when she is dying B) How it worked if there are 2 realities. Are the Sun/Not Locke group on the island all now in the same time period as the Kate/Jack/Saywer,etc? Not Locke/Man In Black/Smokey McSmokerson is PISSED and SCARY!
It’s interesting to see Ben so royally confused and scared. He was always so calm and manipulating you and can just the wheels in his head turning like WHY. THE. FACE!
I don’t know whether Sayid is really Jacob now or what, but I am just glad Sayid isn’t dead. Don’t kill Sayid!!
I feel so bad for Island Sawyer! Juliet dying on him twice is not good for him.
Also, in Plane-Landing-In-LAX reality, Hurley has good luck now? And Sawyer’s gonna try to steal is money now, huh?
Aaaaahhhhhhh! I have no idea what any of it means but I LOVE it!!!
