fickerson

i've got the stuck at work can't watch basketball blues. hopefully i'll get home in time for the selection show.

by the way, wyld stallyons = me surfer rosa = mr. fick

damn, i'm going to santa fe in may, but over memorial day - may 9 is too late. guess i'll just have to hope for some east coast dates.

good call.

i don't understand why hurley said, "awesome!" when sun told him no one else was coming. that was kind of a weird, creepy moment. next week's episode has to be good, right?

have dinner here - i used to go there all the time when i lived in madison. it's pretty casual, but fun, and there's usually a dj spinning in case the conversation is lacking. as far as after dinner... umm, drink? genna's has a great jukebox and stiff drinks, and mickey's is the best dive bar in town, in my opinion. you can also check out www.thedailypage.com for other stuff going on this weekend.

jin had a flashback, sun had a flash forward. michael = kevin johnson = dude in the coffin/newspaper article?

oh no she didn't!

the most wonderful time of the year.

this thread makes me so happy. i will try to add some swimming tips if i can - kim's advice has been right on!

most people do it individually, but it sounds like you, allison and kim would make a perfect team.

i registered last night, so i'm in for sure.

i have a miniature stove - probably from the early 1900's - that sits on my coffee table; i got it helping my mom clean out my great aunt's home after she died last summer. it's from belleville, illinois, where my great uncle worked on the railroad. oh, and my grandma's diamond wedding ring, its about 60+ years old.

well, it's .75 K, so only about a half-mile - about 800 yards, or 32 laps. the bike route goes right by the factory!

this is also near the sign for bong recreational area (and probably the actual area, but the sign is better).

you can hold out cups of water for us.

we started talking about this over in the RTT, but i wanted to post it over here so more people can see it. for the past three years, i've participated in the danskin triathlon with my mom, aunts, and cousins. it's an amazing, empowering experience, and everyone can do it (even if you're totally out of shape!) the race is july 12-13, in kenosha, wisconsin (about a 30-45 minute drive from chicago). i'm already fully committed to do it with my family, and kate (reni) is also sounding like she's in, so if anyone else is interested or wants to find out more about it, let me know. there is

i was really enjoying that episode until about the last ten minutes. so much promise, not enough follow through.

anyone catch what the therapist's first name was? annie, perhaps?

i think i am going to drift off to sleep listening to this show tonight.

i just rewatched the episode, a couple of thoughts: -i get why faraday couldn't remember and desmond could in this episode - what i was referring to was when he was playing cards and could barely remember them. it seemed like he and charlotte were experimenting with controlled time travel and he couldn't remember as well as desmond could (maybe because his time travel wasn't as extreme? i don't know) -if, like faraday said when he and desmond were at oxford, you can't change the future, and if, as desmond said, faraday wouldn't remember their meeting at oxford, how does penny remember he

so desmond can remember things while time traveling, but faraday can't? i wonder why that is, and i wonder if that's why he started crying while watching the 815 wreckage footage. and how is it that a day passed on the island for twenty minutes in the helicopter, but it's december 24th both on and off the island?! ugghhh, this show.

i would do a lot of things to be able to see a wilco show here this weekend.

just remember, planes want to be in the air.

not the best recording i have, but the one i hold most dear.
