Quote of the Day

It's not Penny's boat, brotha! Photo courtesy of ABC

Lost. It’s given us such good material over the years, and the last two episodes have definitely lived up to the hype of the much-talked-about last season. If you don’t watch, I’m not going to even try to explain it to you, but so far, Locke is smoke, Claire is crazy, Hurley’s in charge, Sun can’t talk, Jin is being held hostage and the whispers are dead people…I know, right?!?!

But my favorite character might have to be Desmond, not only because he’s so hot it’s stupid but mostly because he’s in love with Penny, and proving that some people are just destined to be together. And that thought makes me happy. So, this week, Fake Locke asks Desmond why he isn’t afraid, and he responds, ever so transcendentally:

“What’s the point of being afraid?”

A great Lost moment, so poignant, so true. But then Fake Lock threw Desmond down a well, so my sentimental-ism for Desmond’s mystic new state of mind, sadly, only lasted for a few seconds. Desmond gets back at him later in the episode by running a wheelchair-bound, Sideways-world Locke over with his car. It makes sense, trust me.

Scenes from next week promise super creepiness mixed with Willy Wonka music. I can’t wait!.

@LibraryCongress to Begin Archiving All Tweets

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: we need to get back to letter writing. If only for our progeny’s sake.

According to New York magazine, the Library of Congress announced today (via Twitter no less) that it will soon be in possession of every single tweet that’s ever been tweeted (publicly) since the inception of the social networking site.

From @LibraryCongress’ Twitter page:

Library to acquire ENTIRE Twitter archive — ALL public tweets, ever, since March 2006! Details to follow.

While I understand that this could be a really cool endeavor, I would hope that 100 years from now, when my grandchildren’s grandchildren are visiting the Library of Congress, they’ll have a lot more to read than Justin Bieber lyrics and status updates. However, if Twitter is in fact the tool the terrorists will use to finally take out America, as I believe it will be, it might be nice to have everything documented according to the Dewey Decimal System.

Keeping it Classy: The Wine Purse

By this point in our lives, we’ve all succumbed to the temptation of box ‘o wine – some of us more so than others (I’m lookin’ at you, Krista!). But here to save the day is a new product that can satisfy the trailer-park in us while saving our sophistication. May I present the Baggy Winecoat!

Here are the specs:

Baggy Winecoat gives the popular Bag in Box wines a casual but stylish look! Simply take the wine bag out of the box, place it in the Baggy Winecoat and close the flexible top. A rubber bottom makes sure the Baggy Winecoat does not tip over; neither on the dinner table, nor on the picnic.

The Baggy Winecoat won’t tip over at the dinner table, but you might! Choose between black, red and white (how fitting) for only $58.19 at http://www.scandinaviandesigncenter.com.
