With the final season of LOST just three weeks away (collective sigh), I wanted to reprise a previous post and gather all unanswered questions regarding this crazy plot. PLEASE feel free to add whatever inquiries you might have as well—I’d love further reason to lie awake at night! Part I: The “Obvious” Questions 1. What [...]

Several years ago, a friend of mine had to construct a list of personal songs for a grad school class. Her assignment was to select ten or fifteen songs from her life that either represented monumental moments, or through their lyrics somehow identified with her history.

Dear J. J. Abrams and Co., First of all, thanks for your show. The past four seasons of LOST have been delightfully confusing, and my husband and I are quite literally counting down the days to the frustrating, mind-bending stalemate that we are confident to find in Season 5. As has become our annual tradition, [...]

Ryan and I were recently discussing one of my specific food dislikes, and Ryan in his gentle manner told me that I was, his words, “nuts”. I’ve never considered myself a picky eater. I’ll try anything at least once and never refuse a meal, even if it might not be my favorite. Despite all of [...]

I’ve decided that I need to give up Reality TV. I learned several years ago that Survivor and I could no longer be friends—it was too much of an emotional investment and every week it would take me several hours to calm down after each episode. The contestants were just so nasty to each other, [...]

Today I drove by our neighborhood elementary school and was able to witness one of my absolute favorite pastimes. It looked like the entire student body was outside decked in their homeroom colors, and as I watched the starting line of what appeared to be an awesome relay race, I had to sigh. Field Day [...]

So I was watching ER this morning and noticed that a few of the characters had a striking resemblance to my most recent finished novel. Dr. Greg Pratt (played by Mekhi Pfeiffer) has an oversized “stepbrother” named Leon who, because of some sort of accident, has the mind of a child. Leon’s innocence has been [...]
