The question: What, if anything, do you gain by being on Twitter and actively using the service? was recently asked on a forum I frequent and given this great graphic that I came across today, I thought I’d share my thoughts on Twitter.
What I gain from Twitter is:Resources, Readers, Ego boost, Post ideas, Work, Connections.Am I [...]

Many thanks to The ODI!
In this clip, Elizabeth Mitchell states that “They’re (the V’s) arming themselves with the most powerful weapon out there–devotion.” She’s asked, “What will we do now?” She replies simply, “We’ll fight,” with the same inflection Starbuck had in Battlestar Galactica when the temporarily benign Cylons attacked New Caprica and she [...]

LOST Spoilers
Here are the latest tidbits from Kristin…confirming that younger versions of several LOSTIES will appear.
However K! goes into a bit more detail than previously released intel did including why there’s not been much of the Sawyer and Kate goodness that so many fans seem to hanker for.
Q: Please, any hints for this [...]

You are Helvetica
You fit in well to most situations. You’re not flashy, and prefer clarity to knocking people over with your style. A tad quiet perhaps, but not stuffy, and you’ve got very strong opinions under there somewhere. When you get drunk, you start looking more like Impact.

This “test” is way [...]

/EDIT According to reliable sources, I think I can say that I’m glad to say<exhale> that I was wrong about Hurley being killed off this season. My follow-up post where I name names.
The blogosphere is atwitter with speculation about “who” shall be the unlucky LOST cast member that is slated to be in Kristen’s words [...]

Some Must Watch While Some Must Sleep
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Season 2 : Ep. 16|44:01

Haunted by nightmares of the man she killed in the factory, Sarah checks in to a sleep clinic.
(I thought this episode was by far the best of the three-episode “Sarah” arc. The pacing was good. A few deeper messages [...]

Thanks to NicoleL88!
“The Life And Death Jeremy Bentham”

This is a promo for next week’s mid-season finale,  S5 E07, which is followed by a two-week hiatus.
I’ve been a bit underwhelmed with Season 5 thus far and I’m beginning to understand why Evangeline Lilly has been oft-quoted interviews as saying, “Just wait” (for the second half [...]

Sneak Peek #2: Episode 5.06,  “316, Jack and Kate.
Thanks to NicoleL88! who says “Thanks to DarkUFO for putting this on his site: spoilerslost.blogspot.com”
I knew it!
Gah! A Spoiler!
So no more Aaron for now. Poor Kate. May as well go back to the Island with Jack.

Wonder if the audience will see who took him?
Claire?

Sneak Peek #1: [...]

LOST 5×04 The Little Prince – Synopsis:
Kate discovers that someone knows the secret of Aaron’s true parental lineage. Meanwhile, the dramatic shifts through time are placing the lives of the remaining island survivors in extreme peril.

Sneak Peek: Jack and Kate
The best part of this scene is when Evangeline Lilly who plays Kate, explains to Jack [...]

Wow. Frank took some time off from posting new secrets over the holidays. He finally posted today and there are a bunch of really good ones!
My “favourite” includes three Post Secrets.

Immediate reaction: chuckle.
Keep in mind though laughter is actually tied into shock, surprise.
My teenage son is a student driver and the last thing I need [...]

This is amusing for about 3 seconds then I get to asking: Since Mom is using her prescribed medication in Dad’s coffee, what is she doing for medication? Unless she has two doctors she’s going to run out–and then what? And if she is obtaining mood altering drugs from at least two MD’s and she [...]

It’s really hard not to be amused by this Post Secret as it seems on the surface to be so nonsensical.
However, if you think a bit about stereotypes which I’m guessing the Post Secret writer has been exposed to regarding Chinese people, then some sense seeps in.
The reality too is that the Chinese military is [...]

Amazon Link for 10% Donation to Post Secret With Purchase
This is probably something a lot of people can relate to.  Because I live in a densely-populated area in a condominium and I like to allow as much light into the house as possible I keep the blinds pulled back–all the way open–so clothing-optional really isn’t [...]

Sorry, slow on the My Favourite Post Secret This Week bit this week.
I’ve had a look at them and some are quite bawdy.  So how ’bout I share one of those?

Ha! That first thing I thought of was Lucille Ball. Then I thought oh, flaccid penis. Ugh. Then back to Lucy and away from the [...]

President-elect Obama talks on his cell phone…

WASHINGTON — Threats against a new president historically spike right after an election, but from Maine to Idaho law enforcement officials are seeing more against Barack Obama than ever before. The Secret Service would not comment or provide the number of cases they are investigating. [...]

Oooh–lots of good Post Secrets this week!
This Post Secret seems so simple yet if you examine “who” you love it becomes clear that there’s a bit more to it.
How do we end up in shitty relationships time and again? Bad choices or is it because we don’t feel we deserve good ones?
If we are lamenting [...]

This Post Secret made me chuckle as I too went through an unfortunate time in my life when I had to shill things on eBay. Let’s just say that I broke even. There will always be some very difficult people in the world and they unfortunately buy off of eBay, too.
So, though I did not [...]

I have a confession to make.
I am the world’s worst typist.  No, truly I am and I am willing to admit it. Though I did learn to type many years ago, it didn’t really take.
I skated through and it really shows when I’m at the keyboard trying to compose and I spend more time fooling [...]

Well that was not too bad. I just changed the template to my blog and it has not yet been very painful. I’m uncertain about whether some code made the transition smoothly but I’ll know for sure by tonight and if it didn’t it won’t be world-ending–it’s fixable.
Regardless, the template that I fell in love [...]

This is my favourite Post Secret because despite appearances to the contrary, it’s content is the least startling.
I don’t anticipate having the above post card-writer’s problem because my spouse is one of 7 kids, including three girls.  Since he’s a guy spouse gets off the hook a lot easier. I think the postcard author should start checking [...]

Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White
It’s Clue.
Why? First I’m not really a game player, no cards really (unless you count “Uno),” no gambling, maybe a bit of backgammon but no chess. I will play Monopoly, Clue and Scrabble. But both kids liked playing Clue for quite a while–which is the next plus–almost anyone [...]

The conclusion I’ve drawn after reading the directives of a number of fashion- advice sources is that pantyhose are ugly and old-fashioned and should only be worn under duress. OK. Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration about the duress part but stay with me. The experts say that pantyhose are out of fashion–even in the working [...]

New this week Post Secrets
I think Frank cheated or something because there were a lot of really great Post Secret’s tonight/this week.
It was truly hard to pick just one so you must, after reading why I picked this one (hopefully appreciating it, too) go visit Frank at the link above to see more.
The bride and [...]

I finally have a truly new PostSecret to share! It’s been at least a month since one grabbed me enough to write about.
First off, The Graduate from which this publicity shot is taken, is a great movie. It thrust Dustin Hoffman into the spotlight and he truly began his ascent to stardom. Anne Bancroft who [...]

Fresh out of the Lake

Or maybe it’s the continuous rescue, the superdefense or the moisture surge?
Are they making any difference at all because they are costing me a small fortune?!
About ten years ago I started trying over the counter anti-aging products but a few years in started using Clinique’s anti-aging, puffiness (“puffs”)reducers, dark circles minimizers and [...]
