somewhere only we know...

It's been a long time since I really posted on this blog, and even longer since I posted on my "serious" blog. Whatever.

I stopped by the Dupont Circle farmer's market this morning. I had meant to go to the H Street Market yesterday, but realized I had left my wallet at work near Farragut Square, and I didn't have time to fetch it before the market closed. Someday I'll make it to that market, I swear. The Dupont market was fine; full of yuppies with designer babies and $400 emo glasses, but I bought the most fantastic (if slightly expensive) tomatoes. I made a great sandwich - toast, mayo, a thick slice of bright red tomato. I could eat a thousand tomato sandwiches. (Name that book/movie!)

This afternoon was an Ikea run; they didn't have the coffee table I want *again.*



Still I got a chest of drawers



and a floor lamp



along with some smaller things. I've always been cranky about having to do my own bagging at Ikea... well... now you have to pay $0.05 per bag. Screw that -- I stuffed the small things in my purse and just threw the rest in the cart and later the trunk.

This afternoon on a PBS nature special, there was a baby horse that couldn't walk, and the leader of another group of horses BIT it, then picked it up in its mouth and shook it and threw it down on the ground until it was dead. Nature red in tooth and claw and hoof, apparently.

LOST!

I think I have a crush on the ENTIRE cast of Lost. Well, nearly. I mean, seriously, apparently only gorgeous people can survive plane crushes.

LOST CHARACTERS I HAVE A CRUSH ON:

• Desmond. He speaks SCOTTISH, and has great hair. Plus he's so "too good to be true."


• Claire. She speaks AUSTRALIAN, and has great hair. She's whiny and an idiot, but super-cute.


• Sawyer. He speaks SOUTHERN, and has great hair. He's such a bad boy with a heart of gold


• Sayid. He speaks WITH WHAT IS PRESUMABLY AN ARABIC ACCENT EVEN THOUGH THE ACTOR IS ACTUALLY INDIAN, and has great hair.
  
• Charlie. He speaks MANCHESTERIAN, and has great hair. Whiny and an idiot (like Claire) but he's got such a cute nose. (He had BETTER NOT DIE TONIGHT.)


• Ben. He doesn't have an accent or great hair. He's so clever. Sure, he's evil, but he had a rough childhood - makes you want to pat his head and give him an ice cream cone while he plots his next move.


• Sun. I love how at first you think she's a huge wuss, but then she turns out to be TERRIFYING and sweet at the same time.


• Rose and Bernard. How can you NOT adore them???


• Mr. Eko. Mr. Eko KICKED BUTT. I really miss him.


• No accent and seriously needs a new hair do, but everybody loves Hugo.


• Bakunin. He speaks RUSSIAN and heck, his name is BAKUNIN which is just awesome.

LOST CHARACTERS I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON:

• Kate. Too high strung. Plus she's using Sawyer.


• Jack. Has his head too far up his butt.


• Juliette. I still think she's evil, or a huge tool.


• All the others except Ben, because they are boring.


• Alex, because her nose is always running, and she has too much teen angst.


• Karl, because for some reason he likes Alex.


• Jin. He's kind of an idiot, and Sun has to take care of him way too much.


• Rousseau. She terrifies me, and doesn't have Sun's sweet side.


• Locke, because I cannot figure him out. He is slippery.


• Shannon. I know she had a quasi-rough time when her dad died but I still wanted to slap her constantly.


• Boone. He was loveable but a little creepy.


• Michael and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT. I really liked Michael at first but... well.


• Nikki and Paolo, duh.


• Ana Lucia. Drove me nuts. Control freak.

I am probably leaving characters out. So, I guess it wasn't really ALL or even MOST. But still, this show has awesome, fantastic, loveable, AND hot characters.

And tonight's episode may be the best ever....!
