Lost: This Place Is Death

February 12, 2009 lost

Can I just say how delicious last night’s episode was?! I know there’s a little talk about Lost’s ratings being down–but I couldn’t love the show more! We’ve had four seasons of character driven craziness. I have fallen in love with all of our Losties (and even our baddies) and if Lindelof and Cuse bring [...]

Pushing Daisies: What Would Have Happened

February 4, 2009 me

I’m over at my parents right now and just picked up their TV Guide. Inside I found an article by William Keck about what was going to happen on our favorite cancelled show, Pushing Daisies (supposedly told to him by show creator Bryan Fuller).

Use Kid’s Valentines As Greeting Cards!

February 4, 2009 holiday
