Men, you can probably stop reading now.

Are they serious? You know what would make my period happy? Nothing. You know what would make it bearable? Ben and Jerry’s. Maybe Ben and Jerry’s should change their tagline to “Have A Happy Period”.

Can I get a whoop-whoop?

Happy Birthday old man! You’re awesome. Love you

Reason why LOST is like crack:

- It only takes one show to get you hooked. This is me: “Just watch ONE episode… You’ll like it!”
I know one episode is all it takes. I’m like the Godfather trying to lure you into “the family”. (Of course there are the exceptions that just aren’t into that sort of thing)

-You’re asking your friends for the keeper of the DVDs (aka drug dealer).

-Insomnia. You find yourself losing sleep watching (or in some cases re-watching) an episode.

-Hallucinations. “Hey, that guy looks JUST like Locke!”

-Nobody has any idea what you’re talking about anymore. “Dude, this reminds me of the time Sawyer said….” “What are you talking about?”

-Paranoia. “I’m not sitting there. It’s in row 23. You wanna get your face handed to you by some polar bear in the middle of a jungle then by all means….”

-You’re suddenly interested in science.

-Obsession. You spend hours on the Internet researching “the goods” In this case, LOST theories”.

-You form a circle of friends who enjoy your new interest and everybody outside that circle is slightly less cool.

Kinda crazy when you look at it like that, huh?

This is why I didn’t sing this past weekend at Hot Summer Nights… Your welcome!

Heredes, enjoy! Celine Dion ain’t got nothin’ on me!

For the past 2 months my Dad has spent every spare moment working on remodeling our bathroom. Our bathroom was built about 27 years ago and it was really tacky. I guess it was cool back in the early 80’s…. Anyway, my Dad and my uncle totally demolished the room and built it back up to a serene water wonderland. Check out some of the before-and-after pictures:

Hi-Fives to my Dad and uncle for rocking it better than Bob Villa!

Next is Operation: Living Room/Kitchen/Hallway

Short Review: It’s ok.

Long Review:
Here’s the deal. My iPhone has been lagging… a lot. I don’t know if I’m the only one having this problem but it’s really really pushing my buttons (the big red one not the cool blue one). I’m so frustrated with it that I don’t even want to use the phone for the rest of the day (well, I might play some more Monkey Ball).

AT&T’s crashing server extravaganza this morning didn’t help matters either. I was iPhone-less for a few hours. Bah-Humbug!

The app store is pretty cool. However, it seems like Apple is releasing way too many paid apps and skimping out on the free apps. So far my favorite apps are Evernote, Remote, and Monkey Ball. Keeping my eye out for the Remember the Milk app. Here’s a screenshot of my apps page. Any you recommend?

The search capabilities in the address book is quite helpful.

Scientific calculator. Handy. Never know when you might need to figure out the cosine of a triangle. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been stuck at a restaurant trying to figure out the square root of my total.

Bulk mail move/delete. IE likes it a lot!

Calendar is finally color coordinated. Your color opinions are limited but it’s ok. Better than having everything blue.

I’m wondering how MobileMe’s coming along? Or if it’s even up or still crashing? I was going to sign up for the free trial but waiting to hear reviews from my fellow tech enthusiasts.

I love to read. However, I sometimes have trouble finishing a book. Unless the book captures my attention within the first three chapters chances are I won’t finish it. Frankly, I don’t have time to read a crappy book.

So what am I currently reading you may ask? Check out my nightstand:

Jazz Anecdotes by Bill Crow
Rating So Far: 2
Will I Finish? No
Comments: I have to read this book for the Evolution of Jazz class I’m currently enrolled in. I’m only going to read enough to be able to write my paper.

unChristian by David Kinnaman & Gabe Lyons
Rating So Far: 3.86
Will I Finish? Yes
Comments: This book has been very interesting. It’s taking me a while to finish it because it’s kinda dry. It’s drenched in statistics and graphs and numbers and everything I hate. However, still an interesting read.

The World Is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman
Rating So Far: n/a
Will I Finish? Yes – Even if it kills me!
Comments:This one’s the kicker. This book has been on my bookshelf for about 2 years. I’ve never read it. I decided to dust it off and give it a shot. The thing is it’s really loooooong. The best part is that I have the “Updated and Expanded Edition” ::sigh:: I’ve committed to reading this book and by golly I’m going to finish it!

As you can see I’m reading a lot of dry technical books. It’s great but I’m getting a little tired of it. After I’m done with the stupid Jazz book and unChristian I think I’m going to reach for something a little bit more emotional. Perhaps Francis Chan’s new book or reread a Don Miller book (I heart Donald Miller’s books).

This post is divided into two sections. Section 1 is for the LOST watching reader which I slightly value more than my non-LOST watching readers (just kidding!!! maybe…. no, I am kidding…. or am I?). Don’t worry, there are no spoilers for those of you who are trying to catch up. Section 2 is for non-LOST watching readers. Please read your designated section.

Section 1

Namaste!

It’s been a little over a month since Season 4 of LOST ended. But a true Lost fan doesn’t throw in the towel right?

With Comic Con coming up this month I’ve been especially interested in the happenings of the Dharma Initiative, the Hanso Foundation, and Octagon Global Recruiting. Dharma will be opening it’s recruitment for people who are not able to attend Comic Con after the 24th. I think it’s going to be another LOST Experience thing. Hopefully a few more clues will surface itself at Comic Con. Also, we should be getting another episode of The Official Lost Podcast.

In the meantime, check out this recruitment poster some guy made. See any easter eggs? I’ll post the ones I was able to find in the comments if anybody cares to see them.

Section 2

Hello,

Watch LOST.

That is all.
