Found?

There are few things that I do with any kind of regularity. Remember my vitamin? Mostly. Go to the grocery store every weekend? Hahaha, you're kidding, right? Shave my legs? Uhhh, we won't talk about that. But, one thing that I have done consistantly for the last five years is watch Lost, which is coming to an end this Sunday. (Alright, I'll confess that I strayed briefly while Top Chef was on last season, but it was only because I loved me some Carla Hall (Hootie Hoo!) and I used to watch TC on Wednesday and then catch the rerun of Lost the next week, and ABC stopped and it screwed my perfectly thought out plan. Jerkfaces. Ahem. Anyways.)

It's not a perfect show, but it wasn't boring, either. Psychic kids! A mysteriously moored ship in the middle of a jungle! Time travel, sorta! It was smart, with literary references abound. And it could and can be so ruthless and daring that it makes me wonder how a television show can toy with my emotions with the severity it does! I mean, I'm still sad that they killed Hobbit.

So, in memory of Lost and the many hours I've devoted to it, here are a few links:

Dude. I so want this shirt. And maybe about a dozen more from these lists compiled by Coty Gonzalez.

(Side note, can we please take a moment and recognize the fact that this guy reviews t-shirts for a living? I do believe that when someone first used the word "Sweet!" to describe something that was incredibly awesome, they were talking about this guy's job, whether they knew it or not.)

This guy goes and does all the dirty work, digging up the all the literary, biblical, philosophical, and pop culture based references and compiles it all into a massive recap of the most recently aired episode. Sometimes what he comes up with sounds so amazing that it would be super dissapointing if he were wrong.

But for a bit of levity, please check out the The Ack Attack's Lost Recaps. Seriously. Anyone who name checks Kimmy Gibbler and quotes Wayne's World in one go is full of win.

And as a knitter, I have to say that I really want some of this yarn, with colorways inspired by the show. There's some Polar Bear in the Jungle that needs to be made into a pair of socks. If you know how to wield two sticks, or a hook, or a loom (<-- like Jacob and the Man In Black's crazy adoptive mom!) check out Sheepy Time Knits.

So Lost, adios. I'll miss you, and the updates from these sites. But not the time suck.
