- I had time to digest the latest episode of Lost and those thoughts are in blue, so if you don’t want to read any thing about Lost just skip to the black.
- So Jin isn’t dead afterall . . . which means he was within close enough proximity of The Island to be time warped with it . . . which leads me to believe other ship members could have possibly been within that radius as well.
- Possible spoiler alert so you may want to skip this bullet, but I read in EW that the show is casting a role that sounds a lot like a pre-island Ben. The 10-year-old child prodigy is an extraordinarily gifted science student and musician who “is deeply depressed and simply wants to make his parents proud and get their love.”
- Somehow an older Walt is going to get involved, the one that Locke saw after Ben shot him last season. Perhaps he traveled back to the island, and that was how Locke saw him, kinda like Sawyer saw Kate helping Claire give birth.
- I noticed that Charolette started to get better the moment Locke mentioned that they needed to get to the Orchid so he could travel like Ben did, which seemed to correct the time line and the reason why Charolette started to feel better. But I can’t explain Juliet and Miles’ nosebleeds.
- Locke is going to turn that donkey wheel or time warp engine thinging to a setting where it stops skipping at some point.
- Sun’s target is Ben because she want to aveng the death of her husband, I think. But Ben will talk her out of it by proving Jin is still alive. But where is Sun’s baby, and will the baby be left behind when she goes back to the island. I predict we learn something awful, that her child is dead.
- When I hear “when are we?” I always have to do a double take.
- The Ajira Airlines bottle was interesting. I predict it was found in the future, and that plane carried back the Oceanic 6 plus Ben and a dead Locke. I also have a feeling the people that were firing at Sawyer, Juliet, and the others were the Oceanic 6 thinking they were someone else.
- We haven’t seen Smokey in a while, I predict he/she/it makes a return within the next two shows.
- Daniel somewhat suggested that Miles has been on The Island before. I bet Miles is the son of Pierre Chang.
- Hurley looked like The Great Pumpkin.
- Whoa, so he only had one foot down.
- I was a bit surprised there wasn’t a comment on that recent t-shirt post.
- Most people don’t know how dogs walk. Article
- The traditional newspaper is having a hard time surviving these days, especially with so many readers going online. I bet sometime in the future online content will not be free, you’ll buy a subscription that will allow you access to a collection of online newspapers.
- There’s a YouTube video making the blogosphere rounds of a kid coming off anesthesia after a visit to the dentist. It’s funny, but I think this remix is funnier, but you have to see the first one first.
- A two and a half pound kidney stone. Article
- I think I just saw a commerical for the Grammys stating that U2 will perform.
- It sounds like Ticket Master and Live Nation are going to merge, and I think that’s a bad thing for the public.
- I have a Regina Spektor song stuck in my head. YouTube

- A good article about Google’s business model. Link
- I read Obama’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, and this part stood out to me as I feel like I can somewhat relate:
I was not raised in a particularly religious household. I had a father who was born a Muslim but became an atheist, grandparents who were non-practicing Methodists and Baptists, and a mother who was skeptical of organized religion, even as she was the kindest, most spiritual person I’ve ever known. She was the one who taught me as a child to love, and to understand, and to do unto others as I would want done.I didn’t become a Christian until many years later, when I moved to the South Side of Chicago after college. It happened not because of indoctrination or a sudden revelation, but because I spent month after month working with church folks who simply wanted to help neighbors who were down on their luck – no matter what they looked like, or where they came from, or who they prayed to. It was on those streets, in those neighborhoods, that I first heard God’s spirit beckon me. It was there that I felt called to a higher purpose – His purpose.

Ticket Master and Live Nation merging is interesting because it’s two behemoths getting together. Whenever this happens it creates a void and more independent companies start to grow.
Nope, both feet are down

Christian T-Shirts: My first reaction when clicked on that story was to gasp. How would you get teenagers with any respect for themselves to wear those things? And not to sound too old fashioned, but is there any place on earth where those things are appropriate? Even at home? I hope the T-Shirt manufacturer isn’t looking for investors.
The manufacturing costs for the Death Star make it a wonderful earmark for the new stimulus bill. I’m sure they could slip $15 Septillion in there somewhere between the birth control funding and the fine arts appropriations.
I completely agree with Obama’s observation that the power of a church to draw followers comes from their example of volunteers performing good works
you get cool points for having a regina spektor song stuck in your head…. you should listen to the song “on the radio” by her…
I’m starting to feel like I’m not smart enough to follow the LOST storyline anymore. Confusion clouds my tiny little brain.
Plus, Charlotte’s nosebleed really grossed me out.
