others! and those weapons. there were at least five of them. at first i thought they looked like zombies, but after replaying the tape a couple times, they are definitely more alert than zombies. zombies would have probably been good news, actually. especially considering that sharks are no sweat business around those parts.

i am all out of hypotheses. so are those guys with the pirates? maybe...are the pirates with desmond? probably not...what's going to happen now that the computer is broken?? desmond looked pretty intense on getting those numbers punched in really fast...

so how do you think jin got back so quickly? he looked like he had settled in pretty nicely at the others' camp. tied up and all. but do you think he just escaped and was trying to warn them? well i don't think he was saying, "hey guys. nice to see you, you look great. look, others, others." wouldn't it have been cool if he somehow stowed away on the pirates' boat? that wouldn't be very likely at all...but he's ok and we still don't know where walt is.

do you think he somehow got away? because when shannon had that apparition, it looked like he was pretty drowny...maybe he's back on the island and the dog is going to find him.

i am so excited about next week, but i don't know if i can take this tension anymore. my jaw hurts from clenching my teeth when i watch it. and this new season two chainsaw music doesn't help much.

happy birthday, jodyleila!

we are definitely back in business! i don't know about you, but i think everything about the season premiere of lost freaked me out (even that wig that jack was wearing, but that freaked me out in a different way).

so what up with:

* that injection in the opening scene? makes you think that this guy isn't just any run-of-the-mill x-files season four super-soldier...more like season eight or nine when they can get crushed up into a garbage compactor and make it through the other side.

* that vision scene with walt!? but it wasn't that surprising considering that walt is one special kid. and vincent looked really scary/creepy/evil/rabid and then shannon heard those voices...intense.

* not showing what happened on the raft? very clever, lost producers, very clever. i know i am just angry because i have to wait a whole other week just to see it, but those are just as bad as soap opera tactics, those are!

* the new guy?? how crazy do you think you can get trapped in one of those hatches for sixteen years? pretty crazy. so he must be some kind of evil-scientist-puppet-master type who likes making people pay for their karma lapses.

season two just got crazy on a whole other level. next week is going to be even better, because i would like to see how three guys can survive a raft explosion in the middle of the ocean after getting terrorized by those "others" guys (if that's what they are, or maybe they are just pirates, but as jodyleila so aptly pointed out to me, rousseau's daughter alex threw that molotov cocktail that blew up their boat in the first place so i am pretty sure it's those "others" folks).

a plan for the improvement of english spelling

BY MARK TWAIN

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.

Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.

and so does the toronto humane society. despite finding homes for 2,299 dogs and cats during july and august the number of abandoned animals continues to overwhelm the shelter.

for example, on tuesday, september 13, 58 cats were abandoned at the front desk - in one day alone.

for this reason, the ths is waiving adoption fees this weekend. if you’ve been considering adopting a pet, please go down to the shelter and give a wonderful animal a loving new home.

Adoption Hours:

Friday, September 16 – 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m

Saturday, September 17 & Sunday, September 18 – 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Polar Express
Originally uploaded by jessalauren.

yesterday was my birthday. seeing that the cne is one of my all-time favorite places in the entire world (and always has been) it seemed like not only a suitable venue for the day, but a necessary one.

it is sort of like how harry potter has to return each year to the dursley's (only the ex is far more fun and exciting than privet drive).

in my psychology class last year, we learned that you can't really "forget" a memory, you just need the proper trigger and you can pretty much pull any long-lost moment back into consciousness.

walking through the cne, i can remember almost every year of my life and all of the people that meant something to me, even if i haven't ssen them in a long time. here i am getting cheesy, but it's true.

the cne is a really exciting and wonderful place and it always surprises me how being around large masses of interesting and different people can make you stop worrying or bothering about everything. and that's not to mention the lack of places in the world that smell like cotton candy and donuts all day long.

this picture is of my two favorite rides, the polar express and the giant wheel. the giant wheel is probably the first ride i have ever been on and was always a must-do no matter how long the line. luckily yeasterday there was no line and i got to go twice.

the last time i went to the cne, i made jody come on with me and we were stuck with this crazy kid who kept trying to stand up and change seats.

the polar express is always the first ride i go on; the warm-up ride and it has special meaning to the sisters in the family. yesterday, they forgot to lock two of the bars and they had to stop the ride when they saw two groups of women frantically grabbing and fumbling and praying.

the only problem or let's say, the "catch" of the ride is that someone gets squashed. i have always had a left-right problem where my brain just starts buzzing when i try to figure out the left or right of something else opposite to me so there is about a fifty-fifty chance that i can figure out the proper place to sit so that i am the squasher and not the squashee. this time ryan got squashed. but then when you are the squasher you sometimes feel guilt for the pain you are inflicting and spend most of the ride in a futile attempt to lift yourself up and not break your boyfriend's knee (hip/shoulder/elbow).

but sometimes you get squashed and sometimes they squash you, but it's still fun because you can laugh about it.

anyway, more pictures to come.
and thanks to everyone for their lovely birthday greetings and wishes!
