Hey I don't know if anyone mentioned it but this website>
http://www.e-axis.com/lost/index.htm

has a pretty cool windows screensaver for pushing the button(s).

I finished "Dirty Work" by Stuart Woods. I thought it was going to be a totally lame detective novel or something, but it was actually pretty cool. Very Tom Clancy-ish, only a lot more fun.

The line is very gray between who is good and who is bad, and of course someone stands in the middle while they're sleeping with both sides.

One of the more important things I wanted to bring up involving this book and the show. I can't remember which episode it appears in, so I may need some help. This book was written in 2002; only 2 years before Flight 815 crashed; and definitely since Desmond's been on the island. I'm wondering the following:

1) Is this book the least bit important, or was it put up there randomly by the prop folks, with all the other books in the Swan?

2) If Desmond's been there for three years, and this book is only two years old (in Lost time, not our time), then how/when/who brought it to the Swan?

was there a new website to do to tonight?

I went to the math section of hanso and found there was a new map with a bunch of icons on it. but i don't know what they stand for. you can click them and it gives you facts about the area. and some of the facts are missing numbers

I completely forgot to bring this up about the finale when I watched it again. During the dreamy sequence with Desmond, as he's being dragged by Kelvin to the Swan, the strange screen flashes got me wondering about hidden images.

So I slowly advanced the video, and there's definitely two distinct things that I saw, but someone should verify to make sure I'm not crazy.

At one part, it looks like an image of a man sitting on the beach, with his arm stretched out across his knee. It looks like something is on the ground near him, something square shaped and blue. It happens about the time you see Kelvin on the beach; it looks like he's sitting too. But it's definitely not Kelvin, because theirs no yellow suit on the man.

The second part I noticed was as Kelvin is dragging Desmond through the jungle. There are some flashes, where it appears the screen has sort of a double exposure. The image in the background looks like a shot of trees, but something rather large and rectangular in sitting in the trees.

I took some screen shots of it that I can email, so let me know if anyone wants to see what I'm talking about.

Aimee, i would love to see those screen caps! i have already loaned out my season 2 dvds. just send it to my email address if you still have it, or just send it to the sas gmail account. it is funny that you forgot to mention that, i though that we covered eveything on the finale discussion page. damn there was a lot of info in that episode!

aimee is lost said...

Well I didn't watch it again until Monday (when I could be home alone) and I sat there with a pad & pen to take notes (like I used to).

The first few times I'd go back and forth through that sequence I thought my eyes were just playing tricks, but once I caught the freeze frame images, I knew something had to be there.

I'm at work so I'll email them to you when I get home since they're on my laptop.

I haven't kept up with the Lost Experience in weeks; I don't think I can catch up now. I've been so into the books, that I kept putting it off. Oh well, maybe next year.

aimee is lost said...

By the way, DON'T read "A Hooded Crow" - it's so fucking boring. I've been "reading" it for three days, and I've only managed to finish about 3 chapters. I just can't get into it, it's so lame.

I know it's not lost experience material, but...

Apparently the Fox News website is participating in an online game for the upcoming movie "Snakes on a Plane"

I've been quite annoyed with the "Experience" lately, espcially with the flashing letters on that picture, that you can't quite see, and you are suppose to figure out that is spells "survivor guilt" that is just ridiculous!!!

I've been having the same "Mac" related problems as well. I've been experimenting with different browsers as well... so far I think I've found a possible solution. I've been following all the blogs and stuff of Netscape (it's been so long, I didn't even think I still had a copy of it anymore!!) it works well to tab between all of the blogs. But when i try to pull up the Hanso Foundation, it starts out working okay, but then when I put in a password it freezes.... so I have to go back to Safari for that. So that's what I've gotten so far... Safari for Hanso, and Netscape for eveything else.

Anyone else have a better solution??

I just had this crazy ass dream last night that I was Henry Gale's wife, it was so funny. The surprise twist at the end was that I wasn't myself, I was actually Libby.

My Lost dreams are always so funny and twisted. Details are at my dream blog.

aimee is lost said...

Is it me, or is the blog a little too quiet? Craig, Dylan, Ryan, Ralph, Jimmy, Katie, Mike, Jelly, Wesh, Sayten, Elvis, whoever, where is everyone?!?

Hollerin said...

I hear ya Aimee. :)

Although that Lost prediction page was pretty cool...but I only read a couple.

Hollerin said...

I think we need a new topic...

Jimmy said...

Here's one. How's my date going to go tonight? :)

Jimmy said...

Actually, I've been a bit AWOL this last few weeks. The place I work for is in dire straits financially, and I have been told to start looking for more work...hmmm. 8 years is a good run anywhere though.

But I did watch the finale again this weekend. I remembered early in season 2 that Desmond mentioned that the magnetic wall made the fillings in his teeth hurt everytime he walked past it.

So when he missed the button and the plane was downed, why didn't Desmonds teeth fly out!

Stupid post, I know. I am really, really bored here this last hour.
Jimmy.

aimee is lost said...

How well your date goes will depend on what the girl is like. What do you know about her?

aimee is lost said...

Personally, I think they're all crazy, so you're probably screwed no matter what.

Oh, and you should probably check for an Adam's apple.

Ralph- said...

i check the blog in hopes for a new episode, but i am still waiting. i had a really busy weekend, whick included recording a podcast with ben yesterday morning at 9am as well as shooting a video podcast for our associated films video podcast, which will be up next week or the following. saturday i went to a party from 3pm until 3:30 am! so the podcast we recorded yesterday morning sounds like shit, and i cut out about 30min. of the junk we recorded. today i went grocery shopping with stevi, and cleaned my bathroom from top to bottom. i just got done taking a three hour nap. my head hurts. i will hopefully be able to put up the podcast up tonight. until then, everyone have a relaxing monday. i'll be back before you know it.

I'm still around, checking in daily for a new episode. Is there suppose to be one this week or is that wishfull thinking?

I just saw the DaVinci Code last night and I liked it although I would hate to have seen it without reading the book. There is alot of explanation in the book whereas they had to rush it in the movie or else it would have been 6 hours long. So I would definitely recommend reading the book, it's much better.

aimee is lost said...

I give the Da Vinci Code one thumb up, but it seemed kind of long for what seemed like a small amount of useful material. I never read the book, so that's probably why. Ian McKellan was the only really interesting character; I didn't become interested in the movie until he showed up.

Mike Campbell said...

I've been checking in every now and then. This weekend i had some friends over so i didn't get online much, But the summer job search continues.

I don't know why i need a job, silly money. Wanting to go to concerts isn't cheep i guess.

Anyone have any killer summer plans? My highlight is going to see Dave Matthews Band two nights in a row at Fenway Park, Should be a great weekend. Anyone going to any shows this summer?

Mike Campbell said...

BTW - Good Luck every surviving today. 6-6-06 a bunch of scary numbers. Hope to hear from everyone tomorrow :)

aimee is lost said...

I hope Craig puts something out, even if it's just horrible recordings of Dylan trying to do the Elvis voice.

I'm going to Las Vegas in 26 days, over the 4th of July week. I've learned how to play craps, so I can do more than just slots now. My only real goal is to finish one of the 3-foot tall drinks, but there are some decents shows in town. The top of our list is to see Pearl Jam at the MGM and maybe Howie Mandell for shits and giggles.

aimee is lost said...

We REALLY wanted to go to the UFC fight, but that's on the day after we leave, and it's too late to change our tickets.

Ralph- said...

well aimee, if you want to hear some horible recordings, you will be very excited to learn that you will get me and ben today, though i still hope that craig puts something up. i really like craig and ryan, it sounds so much more professional than me and ben sounding off like a couple of douchebags

aimee is lost said...

Katie, please don't get hit by a bus! What a stupid poll; I'm sure right now, there's at least a couple million people who think right now they're having the worst day of their life. Someone's getting murdered right now; probably several people are getting raped.

I don't think any of that has anything to do with the FUCKING DATE!

Speaking of which, we just had like, 5 homicides since Sunday so I'm swamped! It's the apocalypse!!!

Jimmy said...

It's nice to see the blog alive, even if the podcast isn't up.

Ralph, you don't give yourself enough credit, mate. You do a good cast and besides which, you were instrumental to the survival of MYOKOM. I look forward to hearing you guys as soon as I'm able, wether your gravelly voiced or not.

Speaking of gravelly voices...you should hear mine. I talked my ass off last night for about 7 hours. No Aimee...there was no adams apple!! Considering I knew next to nothing about my date, it worked out very well and I was pleasantly suprised.

I'm fucking knackered though!

Look both ways before you cross the road, Katie! There's an article I read this morning stating that Satan is officially lame now, due to the commercial aspects of todays date. E.g. Anne Coulter launches a book today called "Godless", "The Omen" remake starts today...Slayer start their tour. $atan!

You cannot beat the original "Damien". Creepy little bastard!

Jimmy said...

Katie,

100% agreed on Anne Coulter. I'm an uber leftie liberal politically...and your right. She loves to slam the liberals with accusations of not looking into facts, yet she blatantly makes shit up. If there's a market for it, someone will capitalize. I think she doesn't believe half of what she says, and does it purely to make money.

Simply put, she makes money by spouting hatred, whilst the homeless program I work for is in danger of closing because of lack of funds.

And that's all I'm saying. This isn't a political blog, I know.
