Valentines day is uber fun. Today was cake in Lincoln center and coming up with ship names YAYAYAYAY

Here's a few count downs of the most heart wrenching songs and scenes. Definetely feel free to list some of your own as well!

Fifteen of the most profoundly montagable Love songs playing on my ipod

1. Falling slowly - The Frames
2. The Blowers Daughter - Damien Rice
3. Red Right Ankle - The Decemberist
4. Wonderwall - Oasis
5. So Real - Jeff Buckley
6. Scratch - Kendall Payne
7. Grace -Kate Havnevik
8. Anyone Else But you - The Moldy Peaches
9. Hold You in my Arms - Ray LaMontange
10. The Luckiest - Ben Folds
11. Samson - Regina Spektor
12. I just don't think I'll ever get over you - Colin Hay
13. Let Go - Frou Frou
14. Fix you - Coldplay
15. The Way I am - Ingrid Michaelson


The Eleven Most Heart grabbing Scenes (Haha i'm totally bootleg and my computer won't let me just one copy of the videos... so just avert you're eyes from the bad twin)

1. Bambi: Oh man this scene, traumatizing. What grabs your heart is that it tends to be the first time little kids realize the harsh truths about Mortality.




2. Sophie's Choice: This is so diffacult to watch. It's one of those scenes that catch you so much that you feel as if you are there and are having to make that choice



3. Jim tells Pam he loves her (the Office) There's a little extra music over this that the uploader added. During this scene you're totally there with Jim. When she breaks his heart she breaks ours as well




4. Jack and Kate Find Charlie Hung in a tree (Lost): Till this day this is probably one of my favorite scenes on Lost ever. There's a moment where we pull away and we're looking down on them like the scenes about to end and all the adreniline rushes away and you're caught in this reality. It's just brilliant all around.




5. The Ending of It's a Wonderful life: Nothing gets everyone in my fam vaclemped like this.





6. Izzie finds Denny dead (Grey's Anatomy): Such a great scene. You feel so much for her. This scene could of been very common like any other emmotional death scene. But this seemed strangely real and completely honest. Katherine Hiegl deserves all the credit for bringing out all these emotions and and just throwing them into our hands like a hot potato ha




7. The Ending of Into the Wild: Just Brilliance. See the movie.

8. Jack and Kate say goodbye (Lost): There are just so many layers to this scene. It's just so emotionally intertwining.




*Jate Honorable mention: Jack and Kate's first kiss: This is the greatest kiss ever. Everything about this scene is so captivating.





9. The Notebook Kiss: Just Amazing




10. Derek talks about Meredith's shampoo: This scene makes you believe in the possibility of good men.




11. The Ending of Atonement DON'T WATCH IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE: I sobbed
Give Love you guys. It's free.

LostRehash: The HO Ep! YAYAY



They're selling Kenny G. Albums at Starbucks. Apparently he now has a certain Latin flare. Just thought I'd throw that out there.


Now down to the meat. And when I say meet I mean, "What the EAFFF is up with Jacobs shape shifting cabin????!!" I know I know, I'm pretty tardy on this Lost blog. This won't be the usual trend. Had a bit of regurgitation of PBA stress. But now we have a clean slate, a Tabula Rasa if u will...? (Major Lost nerds I'm sure you get that reference) Okay let me just hit on some bullet points from last weeks Lost season four premier "The Beginning of the End."


- Hurley drives his Camero. Pretty great. I think of wholesome family time. Jack pours himself a screwdriver and I think of Nelle
- Oceanic Six... sounds like a cult. I swear that's exactly what this show is going to turn out to be about. After the white linen tunic funeral they can't deny that
- "Her name was Ana-Lucia Cortez. She was my partner before I made detective. Dark hair, gorgeous".... uhhh awkturt, much? And then Hurley denies knowing her. More on that is theories/final thoughts
- And then the interrogation room turns into the freakin' Hydra station. Oh man, now don't lie and say you weren't just a little freaked out about that. And then it gets crazier. The swimming Junkie hood days Charlie swims up puts his hand on the glass and it says "They Need You"



-Okay, so then we're back, Island time, Awesometown time, and Rose is giving Claire sex tips. Yep. Rose tells little aussie Claire with little baby Aaron that she better treat her man good. Granted her man's dead. But hey, some people like that stuff... woah, that was cold (that's what she said)
-Jack says he's going to kill John Locke because he's crazy. Have you looked in the mirror lately Oxycodone boy?
-Danielle punches Ben. He Bleeds. No one makes him bleed his own blood... except for everyone as of recent
- Back at the Beach Hurley does a cannon ball and has a very sexy Baywatch moment. We smile. But then in classic Lost fashion... Desmond shows up on a boat... Charlieless. Every character gets a sad reaction shot. Sayid's was my fave. I don't know why, just is. I think it's the smoothing of the hair and the turn away. Priceless.


- Kate and Jack hug. I squee with joy. I have a feeling that Kate's hands were down there not for the iPhone but the doctor butt. Felt like she'd go for it while she was gropping around.
- Hurley meets creepy Oceanic guy, Matthew Abaddon. He says creepy things. And apparently his name means creepier things. In Hebrew Abaddon means destroyer and or destruction. His name also, get ready for it, comes from the Hebrew rooted word aleph-bet-daled which means "LOST".... DUN DUN DUNNNNN!




- Now we get to the sketchiest scene. Naomi’s death. Oh my god. I think I've reenacted her slurred "GeOrgeeee" and Kate's Awkturt face in response about a billion times throughout the past week.
- And then came Jacob's cabin. Freakin' Chrissy Sheps! And then the eye!!! Hurley runs away and our hearts are beating and we're screaming at the television to get the F*ck outta there and we think we're safe and then the house pops up again and I piss my pants.


- John Locke shows up... Why am I not surprised.... sketchy little bald fetus man.
- Down by the very missed cockpit the Losties begin to gather. And Claire shows up and the strings start and Hurley says Charlie and dead in the same sentence...And here is where I cry like the little biotch that I am. Oh my gosh. I mean I was shaking with sobs. I was slurring my words waving my hands in the air. It was very Paula Abdul of me.


- At Santa Rosa Charlie shows up and looks like Hot Hobbit Sex- Jack pulls out my favorite crazy Jack face and goes badass and pulls the trigger on Lockey when he's got him pinned (that's what she said?) Turns out there's no bullets, but it was still pretty great.

- The group splits into two factions. The Lockeys and the Dr. Quinns. I giggle when Sawyer says survivin'.
- Flash Forward back to Santa Rosa's gym. Hurley’s a regular O. Branstein on the court. Jack shows up looking sexy but slightly Manorexic. They play Horse. Jack is a Ho. The island wants them to go back but Jack likes missing the basket (once again, that's what she said. Nelle, is this a record? hehe)


- Back at the cockpit Jack and Kate make sex eyes in the rain, very notebook... I smile a little too much.
- And then UP IN THE SKY the helicopter flips out and this new Beardy shows up. And then LOST


Easter egg Lost Nerd find per the Fab Lostpedia:
Apparently Ho's have a lot to do with this ep and not in the John Locke manner. Check out this little tidbit...

"The letters H and O show up several times in this episode. "H" is the 8th letter of the alphabet and "O" is the 15th, together this makes 815. "HO" is also the chemical element Holmium. Holmium has been used to create the strongest artificially-generated magnetic fields.

- While playing horse with Hurley, Jack gets the letters "H" and "O". *
- Behind Hurley as he’s freaking out over Abaddon there’s a small sculpture of the letters ‘HO’ on a shelf.
- Hurley mentions Charlie’s ghost showing up in the convenience store right next to the “Ho Ho’s”."

Crazy, eh?

Also theory wise about the Oceanic Six A-teamness I'm guessing they lied about the island or were told to lie about it by higher powers (Dharma, Hanso, Widmore, Oceanic, ect). They claim they're the only survivors, that everyone else died in the crash. I'm really excited to see how this all physiologically plays out for the six. The guilt obviously ridding them is going to break them down eventually. It's only a matter of time.

Okay so ya, freakin' loved that ep. Next day at school Ava, Maddy (wifies) and I went Ballistic. So much fun. Made us talk loud, and that's all I really need, If I can accomplish that I'm pretty satisfied

Promo next week’s ep: Confirmed dead

All the cred for pictures and smart easter egg stuff goes to Lostpedia.com and Lost-media.com

I'm still in love with lost and the cult that surrounds it in a rainbowy sheen

Moldy peaches are delicious

LOST... Striding back into our lives


One day we were making sandwiches, blowing up submarines and flashfowarding into the future and the next it was gone. Lost walked out our television's back door for nearly nine months (you could of given birth to a little baby in that time frame! Juno hehe) And now my friends it has returned. Strutting back into our life with promotion galore. I mean there is not one moment you turn on the T.V. and ABC is not pimpin' it's lone show and I couldn't be happier. Lost's fourth season premieres tomorrow night and I'm about ready "to stab my eyes out with excitement" as I told Kaitlyn fork to pupil today at lunch.
Last season we were left in the fetile position suffering from a shock induced case of the shakes due to the finales shocker. Beardy oxycodone addict love stricken new phone Jack and Freckleless Volvo driving Kate have flashfowarded and are now off the island!! *cue brain EXPLODING* And if that's not enough to have you speaking in tongues our Losties present time (?) have connected to the outside world, Charlie has seeked out his watery grave, it's "Not Penny's Boat", Sayid breaks peoples necks with his legs, Jack professes his love for Kate, and oh yea, Walt's all grown up and telling suicidal Dharma ditch Locke that he has work to do. So yea we have a lot to pick up on.
Because of the writer's strike Lost's fourth season currently only consists of eight episodes. However if things go the way they are looking negotiation wise we maybe able to finish the season with the 16 originally planned. But strike blabber aside I think we'll all savor the 8 being fed to us. And because I am weak and an addict I have seeked out several inside scoop bits of spoilers throughout the net to scratch the itch. So if you're sensitive to the spoiler world watch out for this here next paragraph.
I'm not going to tell you the whole shebang about this season because my worst fear is ruining it for some of you so I'll just hint around it. In the first episode "The Beginning of the End" two on again off agains get a bit more friendly only to find a con at the motivation... but a warm hearted that's how she always roles no hard feelings kind of con. A lostie we thought was dead returns and their looking pretty slick. And by the end of the Ep our losties have split up in to separate factions of sorts. END OF SPOILERS... for now at least.
So the greatest show ever returns tomorrow and it's going to be the cheese to this girl’s macaroni. We're not just going to get back to the adventures and the mystery but the characters we love. So, tune in tomorrow, Thursday the 31st at 8 pm for the recap show and 9 pm for "The Beginning of the End" premiere. Also tonight ABC is airing a special Enhanced version of last years brilliant season finale "Through the looking glass" at 9 pm. You can also catch past episodes here: Linkage
Everyone watch the show, it's going to make you wonder how you ever sat down and watched The Moment of Truth

Love to Lost

The beauty of Awkward... today, tomorrow next week and my love for some people : )


Okay, what do you get when you have an Asian orgy, fibrous breast and Russian dressing? ... ... You got it, a day out with Kevin and Nelle (can that equation also work with the underground after party with the prez candidates? Think on that one. Woot algebra) Anyways today we had some serious exams that may just affect the rest of our lives but what ever. After said exams Kevin, Nelle and myself frolicked around the city. When I say frolic I mean we went to Alan's for salads and sandwiches. Nelle, is amazing and is rumored to have a very nice kitchen. Kevin is essentially hot sex in a can... or dumpling should I say? (That is not racist. Dumplings are delicious.)
The three of us sat in the profound way in which we typically do contemplating the deep abyss that is our souls. And we got on the topic of the future. We discussed where we would be ten years from now, (fingers crossed for lonely waitress snorting cocaine lines in L.A.) and what it would all be like then. When you're a kid, teen, awkward, thinking about the future is ridiculously fun. It comes with a sort of hope. Like moving across the country or shaving your head the future is bold and fresh. We talked about the jobs we wanted, the kids we wanted the type spouse we desired. And as we sat in our little high school bubble I realized nearly everything is easier said then done (nearly everything: supercalafragilisticispiealadocious?) I mean the future, any way we frame it, is going to be different and it’s gonna be scary as hell. And maybe it will be good different and maybe bad. But for the first time in my entire life I've never wished more then now to never grow up and to never leave the Fordham Garden with Nelle and Kevin where we would always remain awkwardly awesome teenagers who only have to worry about the extra credit on the Science Midterm.

P.S. American idol = totally sketchy and amazing. Thus I combine the subjects of this post in the Photoshop above.

For Kevin and Nelle... I love you guys

Cheese : )



Today I though maybe I’d become a vegan.

What a load of crap.

I soon remembered I have a way too deep close and personal relationship with cheese. We are emotionally intertwined with one another. It’s pretty epic.



Yes, I haven't updated since the days of Sparta... I know, tis shameful lol

Alanis is totally rockin' my world right now.

: )
