What I'm going to do in this here blog post is do a bit of a "live blog" of the LOST finale. It's totally my thing, but you kind of knew that. And you're so glad you came. So come, waste a few minutes of your life with me. ::Takes off shoes, puts on sneakers::
8:05: I'm going to go get a fountain coke (oops, you'd have LOVED to know what I typed there by accident) from the Cumberland Farms up the road. Brb.
8:21: ::Sips coke:: (oh man, that typo would be really unfortunate there). Ah, something about a fountain coke that's better than a regular one, amirite? The sugar is concentrated! And what's the deal with those automatic flushing toilets? Wacky!
My options at the gas station for cups were, no joke, LARGE, LARGE and LARGE. This cup is heavier than a newborn baby. So DON'T YOU JUDGE ME! At least I wasn't there to buy cigarettes. Those things will kill ya. ::Pops peanut M&M::
Anyways, where were we? Ah, the LOST finale. I just want you to know, that while I'm not the biggest LOST superfan on planet Earth, I never wavered in my support of the show. Even in the finale stinks, it will still be one of the best shows ever on TV. That said, if the finale sucks, I may murder a stray cat, just to get a release.
8:27: "Tonight at 12, cure for food allergies in a shot glass of hookworms?" Um, pass.
8:42: They've just gotten to the recap of the Richard episode of this season. I say... second best regular season (non-finale) episode of the show. The episode where Charlie dies was probably the best. Hey, I'm just trying to make conversation here.
8:49: Ten minutes away! How's that for an update!
8:55: Worst job in show business -- John Locke's body double.
8:59: And aaaaawwwwwwayyyy we go!
9:00: Gahhhh we don't need more recap, just got on with it brutha!
9:08: I'm feeling the beginning already. They've stepped up everything, the acting, the scenery, the music, like they always do for finales. This exchange also took place between Jeff and I.
Me: "I think Jack is dying in this episode."
Jeff: "I agree." ::pause:: "You should get that prediction down. That way you can prove you predicted it. That's how predictions work." Predication.... made.
9:15: "What was this dog's name? Mitch? Buddy? Spot?" Oh hey, it's Rose and Bernard. Don't care, don't care, don't care. "Oh yes Desmond, you will." Not the best dialogue ever. We're 20 minutes in friends.
Am I the only one enjoying this NBA speech-autotune commercials? I think they're creative. Jeff thinks they're awful. Thoughts? Leave them in the comments. Or just speak directly at the screen. It's the thought that counts.
9:21: Miles and Richard. Two characters I do care about, yet completely forgot about coming into this finale. Yikes, they have a lot of loose ends here.
9:24: Oh hai, Juliet.
9:25: I never get any cool flashbacks. I only get very specific hunger cravings. My life sucks.
9:27: "I can access your mind... through your dreams." Not now, "Inception" trailer. I can't handle. Wait your turn to scramble my brain please.
9:36: Oooooh! Jack v. Smoke Monster. Royal Rumble.
The thing is.... Jack is ALWAYS wrong. They've pretty much established that as a given this entire series. So... will tonight be different? Will pigs fly? Will hell freeze over? And who said you could finish all the peanut M&Ms BRO?
9:40: Juliet is the MOM. I did not see that .... well, yeah I kinda did. And what divorced people get along that well? This really is a sideways world! (See... see what I did there?)
9:46: Speaking of "seeing what you did there" .... bravo Target. Advertising works, kids.
9:48: I just got choked up because I'm honestly going miss Hurley on TV.
Shannon and Sayid: Goosebumps. Hello, beautiful people. Ridiculously beautiful people.
9:53: Finale definitely not letting me down so far. It's moving along at a good pace. I'm actually starting to get sad it's almost over. Also not letting me down: Twitter trending "Smoke Monster" right under "Craig Sager." If the smoke monster had taken the shape of Craig Sager, this would have been a much different show.
10:00: I never get invited to swank parties to benefit Natural History Museums. I don't think I've ever been to a Natural History Museum period. I don't even know what natural history means! My life sucks.
10:03: What just happened, what just happened, what just happened?! Jack is wrong again?!? What just happened, what just happened, what just happened?! OR IS HE?!
Jacob chose... poorly. And now the island is going to rapidly age and blow into dust!
I just told my coworker Chris, on the West coast, that "things just got gully." I brought that word back from a past life. I shall now beat it into the ground over the next few weeks, kthx.
10:12: I sure hope when the day comes, and I have to deliver a baby, the labor lasts 5 minutes and I push three times. #ThingsImWillingToOverlook. Oh, is this not Twitter?
10:18: Words failing me. They're really bringing it. Halfway through mon freres.
10:23: "Now it's Creed! Now Balboa!" And yes, I got that spear in the side Biblical reference, LOST. You can't put one past ol' Emily, nosireebob. HATED Kate's line, LIKED (didn't LOVE) that she was the one to kill him. Kinda.
10:28: This live blog has really fallen apart, eh? Tonight, a friend of mine used the word "ill-conceived" to describe me. Right... what kind of description is that? One hour left!
10:33: "See me where?" That's what I want to know!! Where are they going? Am I invited? No? I'm not? Why not? What's wrong with the way I dress? You don't have to be that way about it.
10:36: "Tell me I'm going to see you again." Oh, I'll tell you... WITH MY TONGUE.
10:45: "Did we live together in the 70s?" -- Line courtesy of my husband.
10:48: LOST: Making finale clip shows WORK.
10:57: They're really packing a punch emotionally, eh? "I'll see you in another life, brutha!" Whammo! The rest of this blog is just going to be me making sound effects.
11:05: You know, I don't know what the light is but I don't really care. This show is just so yummy.
10:12: Michael Emerson, one of the best actors on TV, period. Hope he lands somewhere. AND WHERE ARE THEY GOING?
10:15: 15 minutes and LOST is DONE. Sad face.
11:18: Is this like Cocoon? Where they gather up the old people about leaving and they all turn into glowing orbs and float into the sky? Is that Cocoon? That seems wrong. Hell if I know.
11:26: Tears, tears!
11:27: Hate to interrupt the tears, but seems pretty glaring they left out Walt and Michael from this little shindig!
11:30: Speechless. Give me time to digest.
OK, I did. Best finale ever.

I especially found it odd that they left Walt & Michael out only because the actor who plays Michael has been doing promo for it all over LA? So weird to me.
Plus at the Times Talks Lost thing I went to last Thursday, Damon & Carlton said Walt would be making an appearance in the finale. Were they referring simply to the flashback scenes of recollection? Why I oughta!
No...but...it was so good. SO GOOD! I also love that we picked the same title. Ha.
Glad to see you blogging again sis. We should definitely discuss sometime.
