Lost 3.19; or "And the Emmy goes to..."

2007-05-03T07:39:23Z

Akdfjakld. Words words words. Apparently my brain is so overwhlemed with GUH! and SQUEE! that it can't regain mastery of the English language... at least, not enough to adequately express how completely awed I am by Lost.

I'm sure tonight's episode will be keeping me awake most of the night and occupying my thoughts for the majority of the next 3 or 4 days (which, really, is why I love this show so much), but before I even start thinking about themes or Easter Eggs or messages or implications or anything else, I just have to say that Josh Holloway is one of the most talented TV actors OF ALL TIME. Seriously.

How is it even possible for someone to be so EXPRESSIVE with just their... uhh... expressions? (Stupid brain... language center... not... cooperating....) They need to give him some freaking awards already-- "they" meaning abc, TV Guide, the Emmy people, the SAG, the CIA, whoever; I don't really care. He just deserves some recognition somewhere other than fansites, goddammit. He OWNED this episode. (He made this episode his bitch!) Is there a Lost fan ANYWHERE now who doesn't feel at least SOME sympathy towards Sawyer?!? And, of course, those of us who where sympathetic before are practically feeling primal toward him at this point. And so on.

For someone who is having difficulty finding words, I'm typing an awful lot of, um, words. Shutting up....NNNNNOW. The end.

Where's your sign?

2007-04-27T07:00:45Z

I was looking at spoilerfix.com yesterday, and there was a part that you had to highlight to read. This is very thoughtful, because it means that someone who doesn't want to be spoiled won't accidentally read it and then have to sue somebody for ruining the entire show for them.

Or perhaps they just should not go on f*cking SPOILERFIX.com.

*headdesk*

Happy Lost/Valentine's Day!

2007-02-14T16:36:17Z

I suppose I should at least pretend to be embarrassed about the fact that I told my boyfriend any Valentine's Day plans absolutely MUST be finished before Lost comes on tonight (although actually I am quite pleased that this so-called romantic holiday will include me some Sawyer-watchin'). GODDAMN, I'm a dork.

~~Hey, have you guys seen this?~~ ETA: Never mind... as far as I can tell, it's nothing new; just the same backstory scenes from the episodes. And, because I own the Lost DVD's and understand how to operate my DVD player (Disc menu. Select scene. Hello.), waiting for this shit to download was a big f-ing waste of my time. ABC's lack of faith in our technological abilities really is quite astounding. Bastards.

Also, check out the Gayest Quote Ever:

"Josh Holloway has a strong, authentic, cool personality, but also an intimate relationship with water. As an icon of masculinity and powerful character, he truly embodies the values of Davidoff Cool Water.”

- Francoise Mariez, senior vice president European marketing licenses, Coty Prestige (division of Coty Inc.), on Josh being the "new face" of Davidoff Cool Water cologne

*dies laughing*

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Lost! (or, I Love You Guys)

2007-02-08T09:42:06Z

Can I just say that I love all you people on my friends list? I got online to post something about tonight's episode, but I read my friends page first and now I'm feeling all affectionate toward you guys. How can I have so many smart, insightful, snarky, and funny people on my f-list? Maybe it's post-Lost bliss making me ridiculously happy about everything, but either way, you all are cool. And I am tired. So all I will say about Not in Portland is Lost is the freakin' best show ever and the Dharma people are seriously creeping me out.

"By the way, I'm Tom." *snort* That was awesome!

Why is it so late already? Please, God, don't let me be late for work tomorrow. Amen.

Robot jokes

Because it's holycitygirl's birthday. And because they're funny.

Jokes Made by Robots, for Robots
By J. Alex Boyd (from McSweeney's Lists)

A rabbi, an Arab, a robot, and a Catholic priest walk into a bar. Only the robot exits.

A robot walks into a pharmacy. The pharmacist asks him if he'd like anything. The robot replies, "A soul."

How do you stop a robot from destroying you and the rest of civilization?
You don't.

"Waiter! Waiter! What's this robot doing in my soup?"
"It looks like he's performing human tasks twice as well, because he knows no fear or pain."

Knock knock.
Who's there?
A robot.
Oh, shit.

What's the difference between a regular robot and a killer robot?
The gnawing jeers of men.

What's a robot's favorite cereal?
Rob-os. (Note: Rob-os are made of the tears of human children.)

Little Susie tosses a clock out the window. A robot inquires, "Why did you do that?" She replies, "I wanted to see time fly!" The robot says, "Ah ... A perfect subject for elimination," and shoots her with a laser beam through the face.

Why did the robot order a milkshake?
To blend in with the general human population, making it easier to infiltrate society and..in time..conquer it.

Why was six afraid of seven?
Because seven was a robot.

Happy Birthday, Lee!

Just to let ya'll know: I swear I am NOT ignoring anyone! Not on purpose, anyway. (Except for that one person.) Real life has been insane lately. Only have a few minutes on my friend's computer right now, but wanted to let everyone know I will catch up on my flist and comments and fics and everything else ASAP. Peace out, yo.

If I were going to write a Supernatural episode, it would start like this: Help! There is something unexplainable going on.... IN MY PANTS. *scary music*

Then much snark and drama would ensue. I would guest star, and I WOULD NOT be one of those shrill, girly-girls who stands there screaming and waiting for rescue. I would be a BADASS! girl, and I'd keep a gun tucked into the back waistband of my jeans and I'd shoot the demon right in the 'nads with a silver bullet.

Also, I'd get to drive the Impala.

So. Umm... Anyone else excited about the new episode tonight?

I am having an affair.

2006-11-20T05:57:10Z

I've been watching Supernatural all evening, and now I find myself wondering... is Lost going to have to compete for my affections sometime soon?? Before this, I would have said NO. WAY.-- but, seriously, this is some good stuff. Dean is SNARKILICIOUS!, and that makes me happy.

Um. Also, I just googled Supernatural fanfic. *cringes* Apparently I can't just like something at a normal level like everyone else-- I have to get immersed in it.

Heh heh, you know what else I'd get immersed in... *is naughty*

One Dean/Sawyer sandwich, comin' up. Oooooooh, yeah!

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...

2006-11-09T01:42:39Z

... unless you decide to post the pictures on the Internet. Here are some pics of drunk!me, naughty!me, and dressy!me (none of which are seen very often, so enjoy while you can):

Holy celebrities, Batman!

2006-10-21T09:52:56Z

So I was chatting with some man by the hotel pool this morning, and it turned out he was one of the Beach Boys. Seriously; how cool is that?!?

Conclusion: sometimes it is good to be friendly to complete strangers, because they might be celebrities.

Also: if Wal-Mart loses my film, I will f*cking kill them.

Real live pr0n

2006-10-21T09:43:45Z

An embarrassing confession: tonight I watched a male strip show. Yeah. It was kind of silly... but, disturbingly, was also strangely hot. Of course, it didn't hurt that one of the guys looked like a darker-haired version of Josh Holloway. Seriously. Another one had real short hair, and if the lights were in your eyes just right, you could squint and almost imagine that he looked a little bit like Matthew Fox. So here I am watching a freakin' STRIPTEASE at a bachelorette party in Vegas, all I can think about is Lost. What the hell is wrong with me??

Damn promo...

2006-10-19T20:14:31Z

God DAMN it; I'm on VACATION, I'm supposed to be relaxing, and all I can think about is that freakin' promo. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! My Sawyer..... *worries*

I think I need to go have a drink. Or several. At 1:00 in the afternoon. I hate Lost. And I love it. I'm so confused.

Someone drink with me?

URGENT!

2006-10-10T03:16:26Z

Lost-media has a link to a sneak peek from the next episode. It's called A Shocking Situation, and they describe it as "Sawyer and Kate adjust to the new rules." Oooh!!! So of course I go to the link, but my damn computer turns traitor. It WILL NOT let me watch this clip. I click on it, and nothing happens.

What. The. HELL.

DIEcomputerstupidmotherfckersonofa... *bang head*

Has anyone found this clip anywhere else? Please? I need a Lost fix. I need a Lost fix, STAT.

...Help?

(ETA: Thank you to the anonymous user who posted a link to a youtube-thingy of this clip in elise509's journal-- you ROCK!)

Why we should not look at promos (although we do anyway)

2006-10-06T03:33:53Z

I'm a little worried about this promo pic. Quick, someone reassure me...

Time for some intelligent discourse

2006-10-05T22:05:32Z

All right, I've done my squee-ing. Now for the pondering. Spoilerish for 3.01, of course -- so no likey, no clicky.

Everyone is posting their 2 cents about Juliet, so here's mine: I don't trust her yet-- partly because I feel like that's what the writers want us to do, but mostly because she shot Sawyer with the tranquilizer dart. (That whore! Stick to Jack and leave my Sawyer alone!)

Aside from that, I liked her. Her banter with Jack about being a "repo woman" was awesome. She also seems WAY better for him than Kate, both in terms of chemistry between the actors and the fact that Juliet sees right through Jack's crap-- she's not going to hero-worship him, and that's what Jack needs. From what we've seen of his relationships with Sarah and Kate, his pattern seems to be that the girl starts out seeing him as a hero, thereby feeding into his savior complex, thereby setting both of them up for disappointment when they realize he's as human as anyone. A human with Major Issues, no less. Is it possible Jack is just as fucked up as Sawyer?? If so, will I have a new favorite?? (Nah, that'll never happen.) Also, wouldn't it be interesting for Jack to fall for a woman who has the upper hand on him? Not to mention the other Losties' reactions when they found out Jack was "with" an Other. It would be like seeing Christ smoking a cigarette with a hooker or something.

Speaking of cigarettes (and hookers), how AMAZING was Josh in that episode?!? My favorite scene was where Sawyer sees Tom leading Kate toward him-- that shocked/worried/caring expression was just... wow. But then of course he's able to put that aside and be all casual and smooth and snarky with Tom. But then he shared the fish biscuit that he was so proud of! And did you see the way she was smiling at him? (SQUEE!) I admit it, I've rooted for Sawyer and Kate ever since Confidence Man because I love the chemistry between them. Although, of course, we all know that even if Sawyer gets the girl he will do something to screw it up (probably intentionally), because he's that messed up. Oh, the ANGST! I can't wait for next week.

Dammit, I have to go to a meeting. I will be daydreaming about Lost the whole time; I know it. Hope everyone is having a more productive day than I am!

A side note on the "Tom is gay" theory...

2006-10-05T08:32:35Z

I like ya'll's slash fics as much as the next person, but PLEASE don't anyone write a story where Sawyer and Tom hook up. That would just be wrong.

Post-Lost bliss

2006-10-05T06:49:32Z

Too hyped up & lazy (yes, at the same time) to do any kind of spoiler fake-cut or anything, so this post has no summary/review/discussion/etc. It's just pure squee-age. That said...

SAWYERSAWYERSAWYERSAWYERSAWYERSAWYERSAWYERSAWYER!!!!! That scene where he gets snarky with Tom was classic. One has to ask: Could Josh Holloway BE any hotter??? Of course, we all know the answer to that is NO FREAKIN' WAY. Holy God.

Matthew Fox was great in this episode, too. Everything was great. All I can say is DAMN. If I ever forgot why I love this show so much (which I didn't, because that would be stupid), I sure as hell remember now.

Already counting down to next Wednesday, because I am a big dork.

We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on livejournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks.

California Dreamin'

2006-09-30T02:51:36Z

Haven't been online much this week because I am in California (!!!) for a training. (In fact, I'm paying a ridiculous amount to be on right now, so PLEASE make it worth my while by leaving at least a LITTLE comment. Please?)

Anyway, so I go on lost-media and see THESE SPOILERS.

Why post stuff like that?!? Don't they know it will make us crazy? They should know I don't have the self-control to not read them. You know what else is incredibly unfair? People in Honolulu get to watch the Season Premiere with the Lost cast during some sunset-on-the-beach event... TOMORROW. Can you believe I actually looked into changing my plane ticket so I could go to Hawaii as a stopover on the way home? Yeah. But it would have cost over $700 and I already spent $457 on airfare to this training, so I couldn't manage it (dammit).

Why do I not live in Hawaii???

Or at least in California. I was in the pool earlier today and I got a very vivid mental picture of Josh Holloway in swim shorts floating on an inflatable raft in the same pool, and it was HOT. Did I mention that this was an OUTDOOR pool? At our HOTEL?? I'm from Alaska, so this was a very big deal. I love California!

Of course, the kid I'm here to work with interrupted my Josh Holloway fantasy by taking off his swimsuit and trying to get out of the pool stark naked in front of everyone. He also threw his glasses into the shark tank (the SHARK TANK!) when we were at the aquarium. A giant sting ray swam right underneath them and the attendent had to get them out with her special tool and everything. It was great.

Thanks to the people on my flist who have posted fanfics this week-- I love you! All are downloaded to my desktop to read on the plane tomorrow. :)

The Not-So-Foreseeable Future

2006-09-22T08:34:23Z

Someday Josh Holloway and John Krasinski will be in a show together, and I will spontaneously combust. The End.

ABC is a WHORE (or, Why is it not October 4th yet?)

2006-09-21T16:28:25Z

I can't do this. F*ck ABC and their WHORISH TEASING.

OK, no, I didn't mean that; I love the teasing, I swear. (I downloaded the thing, didn't I?) But ABC is still a whore. How can they show us such sugary goodness and then not deliver for TWO MORE WEEKS?!?!

A big thank you to cinnamonoxide for being so amazingly tolerant when I called after midnight rambling incoherently, making little squawky sounds, and freaking out all over the place. She likes Lost, but not to the degree that some of us do (ahem, ahem), so the poor gal probably thought I was on crack.

If by "crack" you mean "Lost," then yes. Yes I am.

And how the HELL am I supposed to survive the next 13 days without my crack??!?

Forget whatever the Others are doing to Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. We got torture right here, baby.

22 days, 18 hours, and 54 minutes to go

2006-09-12T08:56:28Z

Why do I even look at spoilers? There are some new ones up on spoilerfix (http://www.spoilerfix.com/lost.php), so of course I looked, and now I'm having some serious immediate-gratification issues. I want Lost, and I want it NOW. I swear, I would gnaw off my own arm and beat the producers over the head with it if I thought it would get me anywhere. If anyone has access to (a) top-secret ABC video libraries, (b) a time machine, or (c) a cheap drug that can induce a coma for approximately 3 weeks, please contact me immediately. Thank you.

America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed. (Eleanor Roosevelt, 1936)

2006-09-10T09:38:23Z

Anyone who has not seen Talladega Nights yet should do so. Immediately. You have to love a movie that uses such wonderfully bizarre lines as:

"It is time for the matador to dance with the blind shoemaker." (Seriously, how f'ing random is that?!?)

"Shut up, you little potlicker, or I'll stick you in a microwave."

"My husband Gregory and I want what any couple wants-- to retire to Stockholm and develop a currency for dogs and cats to use."

"You need to grab ahold of that line between speed and chaos, and you need to wrestle it to the ground like a demon cobra. And then, when the fear rises up in your belly, you use it. And you know that fear is powerful, because it has been there for billions of years. And it is good. And you use it. And you ride it; you ride it like a skeleton horse through the gates of hell..."

Yep, that's some good stuff. So check it out.

Do it.

Or I'll put you in the microwave. (Seriously; WTF. Who comes up wtih this stuff?? And why do I love it so very much?)

Thank God for Lost (and, of course, Josh Holloway)

2006-09-06T09:57:14Z

I had a crappy day, so I've been watching the Season 2 bonus disc. Watched the bloopers about 6 times, mostly because there's this one where Josh is laughing and smiling real big and my GOD, it's hot. Seriously, I can't stop watching it. And now I find out that Josh is doing some special on the TV Guide channel next week, but I don't get cable. Son of a...
