Internet, I would say yes
Who wants traditional when you can have hysterical??
In other news Internet, I am baffled. (I am also baffled about where to put the commas in that sentence but that is for another post) A little over a year ago after some strenuous physical activity i developed some knee issues. Every time I walked up stairs my knees both hurt and clicked, a disturbing crunchy-clicking sound. Not delightful. And the pain was like a giant rubber band was being over stretched down the front of my knees. Also not delightful. Eventually after a couple months, Righty stopped hurting and just crunch-clicked a little but Lefty has gone on strong with the whole pain/ crunch-click show. It has been slowly getting worse and worse and last week I was at the point where I figured I needed to see a Dr because I was now having serious trouble getting up stairs. And then it happened. Right in the middle of the Cole Haan store. I was on my way upstairs to look at some gold purses (extraneous details make the story) and while favoring my left knee, my right flip-flop caught on the stairs and I tumbled into them. And The Great Toe Incident of 2010 occurred. Suddenly my knee issue was secondary to the big toe on my right foot which was now cracked and starting to gush IN A LUXURY GOODS STORE. Thank God I had a metallic pink pedicure to help hide the carnage. After a few hours I realized the toe damage could have been worse and would eventually repair itself but in the meantime, the ODDEST thing happened. Suddenly, my left knee stopped hurting. Now there is a very slight pain at stairs and minimal clicking that is getting better every day. What gives??

Announcing the new band name!
Yes, it's true, Mildred and The Hot Cheese now has an official new name!
While being briefly known as Dick Cheney and his Evil Weather Machine, the band will officially from this point forward be known as.....(drumroll):
Mona's Death Hankie
As always, we thank you for all your continued support, we would not be here without you. We would also not be here without pop up video technology so a big shout out to them as well.
Look for our first official new set list for the new album to be posted shortly.
Thanks also to Rogue Wave who we randomly met at a bar last night. Never heard of you guys before but you don't suck.
PS-Does anyone know where we can find Allagash White in NYC? We prefer draft to bottle.
Peace and love,
Alison Wonderland, Ferocious C and the boys.

I still remember the bitter end
This post is dedicated to Tony F as he loves nothing more than a little Gaga blasting as he zips around in the Aston. Which therefor accords me some of my funnier moments ever experienced. Not many people expect Bad Romance to pour out when they motion for you to put your window down, Tony! But Tony does indeed like to support those TSOA/CAP grads - all of them! I enjoy here very much because if Bowie and Freddie had a girl - well, here she is! She also loves Spencer Tunick - I feel we'd get along juuuust fine.

Her proudest achievement was staying blonde. And eating avocado.
Two entirely unrelated pics but at least it's 2 entries in 2 days. Oh and besides avocado, I now also love eggplant. And haddock. Who knew?

Newbury St: Before and After
Which one looks like the washed up rockstar with too much drink and hard living under her belt? Um, yeah, that'd be me...

Summah here already?
Juanita and I had our first spin of the season today. Then I got a Parisienne Street Sandwich which had brie and Dijon mustard so I felt very French.Thanks to Pookie for Juanita's new bell - Ding Ding!
Thanks to Amy Whore for the circa '84 rubber bracelets. The help keep Juanita real.

This was going to be a one line post
About how of all people, Baby Mama turns out to have awesome style (I love posts that make sense to almost no one but me) but tomorrow is Tuesday (aka Lost Chicken Wednesday) and I have to address it as it is being called the 'penultimate episode'. Except I looked up the word penultimate and lo and behold, I am not the only one who didn't know the meaning! Penultimate means next to last. Not, NEXT to next to last.
So for Season 6 (don't think I really read him before that?) I have been a big fan of Doc Jensen's columns. I don't always particularly agree with him but I really LOVE discussing Lost. It's like the best history/ comparative literature class I can imagine (if only I had been as fond of them in college...) and I can't imagine anyone who watches not wanting to talk about what things mean and what might happen. (Of course, being OCD helps with this but I digress). For example, the Sideways World. Many Lost watchers seem to think something is wrong with it, that it is 'off' or 'bad'. I think that it's great! Everyone's still alive! Everyone still has their opportunity for happiness and redemption and all that good stuff. Incidentally. I also think it's what made Sun and Jin's death not so moving to me. I have always liked them (and Sayid!) but as they're still alive in Sideways I am not nearly as moved as say, when Charlie died. OH SEASON THREE. You were such a pain in the ass to watch and then you had THAT ending. That's another thing about Lost. It really teaches (reminds) the watcher that you need the yin and the yang for things to be worth it. You have to have a few slow episodes to give kick to the fast, amazing ones. Like how in life the ups are made sweeter by the presence of the downs. That the commitment is worth it. OK, this is getting too deep. All I can say for this week is that I hope Man In Black's name is not Esau or anything similar. Oh and after seeing a preview for this week (this is not really a spoiler), I am left to wonder whether MIB's problem might be that he was 'raised by another' too... What will I ponder once Lost is over? Maybe it will finally be time to go and figure out when to use "it's" and when to use "its". Of course, I have made it this long...
This Tuesdays 'Lost Chicken's Wednesday' menu: The Labor Meal or What my mom ate the night before she went into Labor with me. Chicken Tetrazzini and Pina Coladas. 'Nuff said.
Hey Lost, guess what? You taught me how to cook, too! Thanks!
(Of course, you didn't teach me if "Tuesdays" should have an apostrophe but I guess that's asking too much)
Update: It was just pointed out that given this week's subject matter, The Labor Meal is most appropriate! Ha!

Don't look closely at this picture!
Even tho it is INCREDIBLY tempting. Because that marker board? It has spoilers. I learned the hard way.
This lovely pic (which makes me want a marker board in my house SO BAD) is from this lovely article. It is so lovely I am posting about it before I even finish reading it. So are their spoilers in the article? So far, no!

At last, if not a theory, at least an idea...
Thus far, in 6 seasons of Lost watching, I have had all of two 'epiphanies'. One was when I first heard Ben's 'Henry Gale' alias and realized it invoked the Wizard of Oz. Unless something unexpected happens in the next 4 (SOB!) episodes I think that was nothing more than a clever nod to the Wiz. My second epiphany is that I think Juliet is Jack's sons mother. I'm not really happy about this but so long as she winds up with Sawyer (and Desmond with Penny, AND DESMOND WITH PENNY!!!) I can live with it. I have not got a clue as to how the Sideways World and the Island World will resolve. Not a clue as to who might replace Jacob, if indeed he will wind up replaced. No clue as to why Clair's Wig doesn't have a credit of its own. But now! Now I have a fragment of an idea! Time wise we've jumped all over the place (and as one upcoming ep promises, we're gonna be jumping further than usual soon) We've flashed forward, we've flashed back, we've flashed sideways (whatever the hell that is). But when Lost premiered on September 22, 2004 we were for that one day in present time with the Losties. Plane crash happened: September 22, 2004. Right now, the Island is in 2007. I propose that on May 23rd they will have come full circle to 2010. May 23rd. What does this mean? I have no clue. But I think it'll have the same effect as the end of the best Lost episode thus far ("Through the Looking Glass") when Jack turns from that gate and says "We have to go back." I shall once again jump up from my couch and scream OH MY GOD.
Additional thoughts:
Did anyone else think that it was more than just creepy when Jack told Flocke that he had no idea who he was and Flocke is all "yeah, ya do"? It made me wonder if Jack's known him all along as something else and just doesn't know it yet.
Will we ever learn why women couldn't have kids on the island? Because that is just gonna annoy the crap out of me if we don't.
Desmond is so not dead in the well. But did they have to put that "you can check if you want to" bit in? Meh.
Who the heck is the Ghost Boy Flocke saw? Young Jacob? People, we have 4 episodes left - start the answers!
