wednes | Luckily, I'm not Helen Keller and have never read the waffle iron.

I'm back, as you can see. Just like always I had a swell time and am glad to be home. I saw a family of galloping turkeys and a some swarming frogs and spiders and a mouse and a bunch of those butterflies that are either monarchs or those ones that look like monarchs. Who can tell from a moving car? Not me, obviously.

While I was relaxing, I read Bad Twin, which I borrowed from

uterdic. I was not impressed with the writing style at all. Mr. Purgatory's choice of vocabulary was repetitive, dull, and absurd. Three different characters in three different parts of the world used the word "settee" to describe a small sofa or couch, or davenport, or love seat. One of these characters was a gruff ship captain referring to a sofa on his ship. Did everyone start saying settee and I missed it?
Anyway, the book only had a few remotely revealing things about LOST.
And I'm not entirely clear on the concept, which seems to involve a fictional author (that part I get, as I wouldn't put my own name on it either) writing a fictional novel featuring people from a fictional show. Where, exactly, is the fiction? In the book? In the whole thing? I'm confused.
And why would Dharma or Hanso even care that such a book is published? It didn't tell us anything significant, so far as I can tell. Just a few tiny hints at things. I daresay, I'm starting to feel a little "played" by the way they put nonsensical things in places just to get us talking about it. It's like a conspiracy, wrapped in a second conspiracy, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a vest. You know what I'm talking about...

H moved our living room furniture around while I was gone. He's both awesome and clever. We had discussed a few things, but I told him to just do whatever he wanted with the furniture. He really took the focus off the TV and now the living room is more like a conversation pit than a poor approximation of a movie theatre. I actually thought we got a new TV because ours looked so much bigger the way the room is now. I'm gonna tweak a few things when I wake up, but it looks awfully nice. Plus I'll have the opportunity to put up some posters on the newly vacated wall space. H put up his Bette Page movie poster. It's quite attractive.

He's going to live. Yay!! Ms Rowling announced it in honor of Harry's 26th birthday.

I have a horrible, busy week shaping up. I sure hope it's not gonna be seven thousand degrees with %200 humidty again. Tuesday I see the regular doctor, Weds is Group, Thurs I see the crazy-med doctor, and then I meet my new job counselor (where I have to take the damn Meyer-Briggs and who knows what other tests), and Friday I have an interview to be a receptionist. Probably a futile gesture, but why the hell not, no?

Anyone with any taste at all should check out, be impressed by, and then add the delightful

hulk_smashy.
It's just as smashy as it sounds. It features, as you might imagine, Hulk (and friends) and is by the enchanting and talented

smarbaby, the artist who also gave Gronk, and the illustrations of MRoM to the world. Oh, and she is a nerd.

Okay then, I'll leave you with this:

Ooooo I love you for that spoiler!

Bad Twin makes me angry with its very existence.

'I'm back, as you can see.'

Good to see a bear didn't eat you.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who didn't care for Bad Twin. After I was done, I kept thinking, "Did I miss something?" I mean, when I share what I had hoped for in the story, you'll hear a much better storyline, but at this time, I can't imagine how any of this has anything to do about Lost. A meeting where they say, "He won't run the company like Alvar..." doesn't make it all tie in well.

Yeah, it's a good one.

I was super stoked, until I actually read it. The story itself isn't even good. The ending is ridiculous, and a satisfying ending is all you really need for a detective novel. Grrrrr.

I was rather pleased myself!

The 8-15-16 thing, and the hint that Jack's fathers mysterious other daughter was the suicidal Widmore woman were the only real tie-ins I saw. And Cindy the stewardess is the tailie that died en route to the other side of the island--and was supposedly the authors girlfreind.

What I don't get, is that if the author exists in the LOST universe, how could he write a fictional novel about the Widmore's and actually use their names? And if he doesn't, how did he die on the plane (assuming he even did).

And all that purgatory talk can kiss my ass.

Well, certainly I figure that a fictional writer writing a fictional story can use things in his "real" life in his story. Yes, the legal ramifications could be bad if it were real, but since they were trying to tie in one story to another, I think that changing names would be more of a separation thing than a connection.

I caught the Cindy on the plane thing, and I do think it's Gary Troupe's girlfriend. I feel that the agency that the female P.I. worked for either may be Libby (if that is her real name), or another employee of that company (or something along those lines), but that doesn't really tie into the Hanso Foundation until Hanso buys the Widmore company.

Oh dear, I hope the control center isn't harmed when your chair explodes ::frown::

Lost may be all of those things, plus a bow tie, but god help me I miss it! Common Lost, I need a fix. Plus I hate this horrid summer heat. It only serves to remind me that there is hardly any good tv on, and that I sweat a lot.

Glad your trip was deeeelightful!

Yeah, the addition of Michael Emerson to the regular cast leaves me quite hopeful for some, if you'll pardon the expression, crazy shit to go down this season. I'm also very stoked to watch the Desmond/Penelope Widmore storyline develop.

Wow! Your chair will explode? That's... What's the word?
