So last night was our LOST party and as expected, we had a great

time being a bunch of nerds together. The polar bear was a big hit
and got a lot of love throughout the night by our guests, there was
a special appearance by the infamous snuggie and everyone enjoyed
their Dharma beverages. Unfortunately, the weather was uncharacteristically
freezing so the ringlight photoshoot was a no-go. I did manage to brave
the cold long enough at the end of the night to get a few good Dharma
propaganda shots!

As far as the show goes, I thought it was outstanding! I think watching
it along with so many LOST fans this time around made it that much better -
there really was a feeling of excitement in the air (as corny as that may
sound). I do not want to include any spoilers for those that may not have
seen it yet or still plan on jumping on the LOST bandwagon, but suffice it
to say that I was very pleased. I just really hope that the rest of the season
can keep this pace because if so, we are in for a great one!

Up next? Heroes Volume 4 viewing party! Hell yes.

LOSTies rejoice!

Taken @ the end of last year's LOST party.

After what seems like years (but in actuality was only 8 months), LOST will finally be back
with its 5th season. I am extremely proud to have been a Lostie from even before day one.
I am one of the few that can boast that I saw the series premiere of LOST several months
before it aired to the public at San Diego's Comic Con International. And not only that, but
I got to watch it along with several members of the cast & be present during a Q & A panel.
Super cool, right? Right.

I have been hooked ever since. Sure, the show has had its share of low points, but I have always
been a steady fan. I really believe that no other show out there right now can bring the same
intelligence and creativity that LOST does. It is a rare breed.

So it's no surprise that for the past 3 years or so we have hosted LOST viewing parties for both
the season premieres and finales. Tonight is no different! We are actually hosting our largest
LOST party to date with (I believe) 13 guests! The party planner in me cannot just lay out the
chips and dip and provide the couch and TV...I go all out in true Melificent fashion. I bought
a stuffed polar bear and have clothed all our drinks with appropriate Dharma labels. Plus, we'll
be having a LOST themed ringlight photo shoot to boot!

I'll be back tomorrow with a full update with my thoughts on the opener as well as party details,
but for now enjoy this fun time lapse video of me putting together all the labels while watching
last night's awesome episode of Fringe (best is at 2:34 when I become caught up in the show & do
my classic OMGZ!!!! face). Yes, this totally made me realize that J.J. Abrams owns me. I am aware.

Namaste.

Sawyer, is that you?

Unfortunately, it is.
Here is one of our favorite castaways, Josh Holloway, on the set of his new movie Stay Cool with Winona Ryder. This is so terribly wrong and frightening. See, Lost? This is what happens to your cast when you have such a long hiatus!!!

I wonder what Sawyer's nickname would be for this fancy little character...Pony? Cassette? K-Fed?

Thanks to DListed!

We will pump. You up.

For the first time in my 26 years, I have joined a gym.
24 Hour Fitness to be exact. Here's to hoping I can get my ass in gear and in shape. We are planning to take a cruise in November for our one year anniversary so I definitely have to be in perfect bikini shape by then! Now I just need to buy workout clothes and sneakers.

For those of you that are interested in how our Dharma labels came out last week for the Lost season finale, you can see them here. How fabulous was that Season Finale? Three words: Des & Penny!!!!!! Squee!

Dharma Drama!

Tomorrow marks the 2-hour season finale of Lost and I couldn't be more excited. I'm also very proud of myself for not hunting for spoilers from the evil Dark UFO.
We'll be hosting a little shindig at our place for all our true blue Losties, which should be fun. I'm adding a little personal touch so I'll make sure to take pictures. We'll also have the ringlight up and ready for some fun portraits of our guests.

ps; I admit. I steal music. And I stole Gavin Rossdale's new solo album. I really wish I hadn't. It is horrible in every way horrible can be. I really feel for him. He's going to get *spanked* by the media. Oh well, I still puffy heart him and want to have his babies.
