LOST Rehash: LA X
Antagonist: “They come, fight, they destroy, they corrupt. It always ends the same.”
Jacob: “It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
Antagonist aka Smokey aka Fake Locke aka Dark Suit aka Esau—if the writers would just provide a name for the guy I would be pleased.
Are we making any progress at all [...]
Sunday Salon: Twelve Projects for 2010
For the last couple of years, instead of resolutions, I’ve been thinking in terms of projects, lots of projects that I wanted to complete during the year. I wouldn’t say I was any more or less successful with my projects than most people are with resolutions, but I like the tradition anyway and plan to [...]

The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula LeGuin
lathe: a machine for shaping a piece of material, such as wood or metal, by rotating it rapidly along its axis while pressing a fixed cutting or abrading tool against it.
The Lathe of Heaven is about dreams and dreaming, about playing God, and about getting by with a little help from my friends. It’s about [...]
Poetry Friday: More John Donne
I so enjoyed thinking about death (enjoyed paradoxically speaking, like the metaphysical poets) this week with Wit and Mr. Richardson’s little book, and John Donne and of course, LOST, that I thought I’d share another poem by Mr. Donne written on his sick-bed:
HYMN TO GOD, MY GOD, IN MY SICKNESS.
SINCE I am coming to that [...]
LOST Rehash: The Incident
Scattered thoughts and observations which may or may not become more coherent during the eight months that we must wait for our next LOST fix:
The conversation at the beginning of the episode:
Antagonist: “They come, fight, they destroy, they corrupt. It always ends the same.”
Jacob: “It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just [...]
LOST Rehash: Follow the Leader
I’m a little late with this week’s rehash because I can’t figure out whom to follow. In fact, as far as LOST is concerned, I’m officially lost.
As I asked last week, which leader?
Jack is trying to lead the Losties (1977) in carrying out Faraday’s vision of blowing up the entire island with a hydrogen [...]
LOST Rehash: This Place Is Death and 316
Last week, honestly, I was too concerned and upset and hormonal about CPSIA to blog about LOST. I’m still concerned and upset, but I’m past the hormones. So, this week you get a two-fer. My thoughts on last week’s episode, This Place Is Death, and this week’s, 316.
This Place Is Death:
Dare I say, this episode [...]
LOST Rehash: The Little Prince
SPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERS
Jin’s back! We knew he couldn’t really be dead. Is anyone really, truly, without a doubt, never to revived, dead as a doornail, dead on this island? Boone, Shannon, Locke’s dad Cooper, all those Dharma people and redshirt Losties, Ana Lucia and Libby, Mr. Eko, Charlie? I suppose they’re dead, but if we’re going [...]
7 Quick Takes Friday

The Guardian has a list of Ten of the Best Butlers in Literature, and it doesn’t include Jeeves. Is that because he’s a valet, not a butler? According to Wikipedia:
Jeeves is a valet, not a butler. However, Bertie Wooster has lent out Jeeves as a butler on several occasions, and notes that “if the call [...]
