Lost Season 4 Finale

After two straight hours of OMG, WTF, WTH, and Huh???, I can honestly say that was the best Lost show EVAH!!!

So much happened and so many questions were answered... and yet they left us, once again, will HUGE questions for next season. Let me see if I can remember some of the things that caught my attention:

Warning!! Spoilers ahead

• Sawyer and no shirt... umm... don't jeans get heavy in water, too? Whenever he found the time to strip off that shirt during his swim he could have removed the pants, too. Just sayin.
• Sun was killin' me in the helicopter. Her anquish was insane.
• but I don't think Jin is dead... he can't be
• Sayid rocks. When he was kickin' Keamy's a$$ I was almost screaming outloud. One of my friends puts it so eloquently -- Sayid is the Iatollah of BadAssery!!!
• One man can move an island. I guess he moved it to some desert somewhere because he had that same jacket on a couple of episodes ago.
• Michael was finally released from his "cannot die" syndrome by Christian? Who IS that man?
• The dream sequence with Claire -- who is the "he" that can't come back? We want to believe it is Aaron, but could it be Jack she is talking about?
• Hurley playing chess with Mr. Ecko... do you think that is real? Could it be possible?
• What was up with the tape suddenly rewinding? And was it playing through when Keamy walked in?
• I cried when Des and Penny got together. Bet that boat was rockin' till sunrise!!! But why didn't he SHAVE?
• How did Locke get off the island? Is it because of its new location or is it because he is now the leader of the Others? Does that leader get some sort of special priviledge?
• Who else got off the island that Sun suggested? Was she talking about Des and Lapidus?
• What happened to the people in the zodiac that was heading back to the tanker before it blew up?
• Charlotte was born on the island? Is that what she was suggesting? If so, how did THAT happen?
• Is Sun turing into a bad girl now? I mean she is wanting to team up with Widmore...
• Who is the second person Sun blames for Jin's death? Jack thinks it is him, but could it be Kate, or Lapidus, or Des? They all made her stay on the helicopter
• Did I mention Sawyer without his shirt on? And smiling with those dimples. GAH!
• OK -- riddle me this batman... the O6 story is that they were stranded on an island for three months. Suddenly they are seen coming ashore on another island in a raft. I would think a big question would be if they had the raft for three months why didn't they use it before? Was it because of Kate "having the baby"? Where did that raft come from?
• What did Sawyer whisper to Kate?
• How did "Jeremy Bantham" die?!!
• Loved who was in the casket, but why... and how...
• Locked blames Jack for all the "bad things" that happened after they left the island. Wonder what all that means.
• Rose was PI$$ED at ghost hunter dude for eating the peanuts. What was that all about?
• And for the funny -- did anyone else catch the girl's thong? She was the second group getting into the raft... she bent over and there, above her khaki britches, was a purple thong "whale tale". I bet she is one embarrassed chick... unless it means something...

That's all I can do for now. So much happened in the final hour or so I thought my head would explode. That was AWESOME! I'm ready for next season to begin already... and when will that happen? Are they going to make us wait until Jan/Feb again? Booo!!!

Beauty and the beast

Working in downtown Atlanta has its advantages. I can walk to many yummy restaurants. My building is right behind one of the most beautiful theaters in the country so I can take in a Broadway show, concert, or comedic act any time I want. I can ride mass transit at a discounted rate and save money on gas and wear & tear on my car. I can go up to the 32nd floor of my building and see a breathtaking view of the city along with miles and miles of Georgia landscape -- from Kennesaw Mountain to Stone Mountain. It is beautiful.

But what I can't stand are the stupid people that DRIVE through downtown. Or at least the ones that don't pay attention to pedestrians. And especially the one idiotic gray-haired gentleman in the dark blue Jeep Cherokee that DIDN'T stop at the stop sign and nearly mowed me down on my way to lunch yesterday.

Something in my head told me to not take that initial step across the street. And thank heavens I didn't!

But you know what REALLY pisses me off? I pointed to the stop sign as he flew passed me -- and he gave ME the finger!!!

I think I'll stay in my building today and not venture out...

Rage much?

Yeah -- almost got killed Wednesday morning. (I wonder if Chelene jinxed me somehow)

I was turning left to get on the ramp that takes me to the highway. Coming from the opposite direction is another turning lane that has a yield sign. Meaning those drivers have to wait for US right?!!

Not for the pompous ass in the big white truck. He rode my back right quarter panel all the way down the ramp until the two lanes merge. Then he missed my bumper by inches... I was fuming, but I didn't do anything. (in my younger days I'd have shot him the bird)

We get to the highway and just to get out of his way I gun it. I get up to 95 -- yes you read that right 95 -- miles an hour and the jackass is still riding my bumper. I see a break in the cars and get in another lane.

Know what the ass does?

Swerves in my lane! Came within a hair's breath of hitting me! Then he swerved back into his lane and gunned it. I was going 80 by then so he was going well over 100. Guess he wanted to prove to me that he was a BIG MAN.

Then he started darting in and out between cars and even got pretty close to clipping the front of an 18-wheeler.

I was scared.

I called Carl to tell him what was going on and he said just to keep an eye on him. I couldn't see him anymore because he had gotten so far ahead of me.

Jerk. I hope he got to wherever he was going without killing someone.

First message for today

Dear Ms. Patterson,

Thank you for your message this morning. I would like to clarify a thing or two, if you don't mind.

1. I am not Nancy Grace. The last time I recorded, and checked, my voicemail message it clearly stated my full name, company, AND department. At no point in time do I say my name is Nancy Grace.
2. I appreciate your concern over that missing child. BUT if you saw her on an escalator at the mall like you say did, don't you think you should call your local authorities to report it? They have the resources to do a thorough search and get in touch with whatever other agencies are looking for her.
3. Finally, Nancy is out on maternity leave. She just had twins you know... and had to go to the hospital herself because of complications. I don't think she has the time or energy to return your call. Call the police for help...

Thank you very much! Have a happy holiday.

And I am NOT making light of a missing child. If this woman saw a missing child in a mall she needs to call the COPS not a television host. I sat at my desk with my mouth open wondering just want the hell this woman was thinking.
