Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I ususally travel with at least three or four wide-ranging choices, supplemented occasionally by a couple of others picked up in the airport, on the theory that I don't know what *precisely* I'll be in the mood to read.

eight for a week. 2 or 3 on the plane the rest in the suitcase. Often - I come home with 10.

Dh and I once went to my GP in South Carolina. for a week, but it was very hot in the middle of the day. We ran out of books. and both of us had about 10.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Behold! First batch of LOST auction items.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That is really cool, Allyson.

I, however, am an idiot, since I thought that the party was the following weekend. It doesn't make a difference, really, but I need to work out a couple of things.

Huh. Our modest little party seems to have garnered a mention in the Chicago Tribune.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

beth is me! The BF mocks me for bringing so many books when I almost always either buy more or get them as gifts on my trip - and hardly ever finish all of them unless my relatives leave me alone enough (read: almost never) - BUT I'd rather carry the extra weight than chance being without reading material of my choice when away from home. Carryon: usually 2 - the one I'm currently reading and a spare in case I finish the first one on the plane. But often I buy another one or two in the airport bookstore/newstand. Those ones are usually either Elizabeth Peters or Stephen King. Very, very rarely I'll buy a magazine.

re: the Numbers Stations - did anyone else get a major wiggins from this:

The voices that can be heard on these stations are often those of children, or are mechanically generated.

Sounds like a horror movie gimmick but still - eeee.

re: Hurley as patient - count me on the side of those who say Yes - but I can't think what for. (Think if it was schitzophrenia or something involving delusions, he would have been a lot more doubting of his own instincts regarding the numbers being cursed. Yes, he badly wanted validation - and finally got it from Rousseau - but before that he didn't seem to question himself/his sense of reality even though everyone else kept saying it was crazy.)

Agree it was telegraphed pretty obviously - for this show anyway - but we've seen stuff that wasn't a major surprise in the flashbacks before. Jack's first ep telegraphed the second IIRC.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Is there are buffista login for the Tribune, Kristen (or anyone)?

Finally got around to watching last night, and knew I wouldn't catch up here before bed. Nothing much to add. Loved the ep. Fury rocks it, per usual. Loved, loved, LOVED the scene with Rousseau and Hurley.

Also, I really hope Locke turns out to have his own agenda, but not necessarily an evil one. I like how he could go almost any way now.

Our wings are not tired.

BugMeNot gave me privacy1st@mailinator.com password=tribune and that worked.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Huh, didn't for me. Or did you need to put in the whole "password=tribune"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, just tribune. Worked fine for me.

Aha. I sussed the problem. My cut&paste of the email address was leaving a space on the end.

That's cool - hopefully other newspapers are following suit.
