another flash

It used to be that I would drive home to Wilmington from York and the other day I did the opposite. I drove by my old house in Holly Oak and it looked a lot better than when I left it. I didn't like seeing other people's cars in the driveway though.


The post-Mojo hours made me remember my love for Sam's Town. And my drive home made me remember my love for the Mama's and the Papa's. Coming to/from New York, York, or Delaware to each other is always a weird little mental adjustment, but it was really nice to see the Oceanic 6 and company.

My thoughts

I like that Sayid started straightening his hair on the mainland.

Could Miles be Marvin Candle's son? (Kt's insight, not mine)

I kind of think Sun and Whidmore should be daters.

"Previously on Expose..." = PRICELESS

Neal was cool while he lasted but I am glad he turned out to be a sacrifice the island demanded.

I'm so over Bernard & Rose having any air time.

I love love love Sun.

I think if I was Hurley and I told my mom what he told his, she would totally believe me too.

Penny and Des have a baby!?

I hope Charlotte dies.

inauguration

My inauguration day fortune cookie said:
The will of the people is the best law.

My favorite quote from Obama's inauguration speech:
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.

I love Rick Warren and his prayer was perfect.


Now on to Lost.

fortune cookie

My mom brought me some Chinese food to rehearsal last night and my fortune cookie said:
In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.

How very very poignant

half.com is my new favorite website.
today the mailman brought me two of my favorite movies of the same name.

what sarah said

my current song to play on repeat:

And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breathes as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak of the LCD took you a little farther away from me
Amongst the vending machines and year old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye

Then I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself
Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room just nervous paces bracing for bad news
Then the nurse comes round and everyone lifts their heads
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die

days of my life

I woke up tired today. Yesterday I came back to York from Wilmington. The night before, I got to see Rachael, went to a quiet open mic, and ate too much at Golden Castle.

Yesterday was Poppop's funeral. I knew it would be hard, but it was harder than I expected with all the awkward dynamics, conversations & questions about my dad's health, and just the fact that it's impossible to anticipate my reaction going into a funeral. He served in the Navy, so the actual burial was really beautiful because played Taps on the bugle & did the 21 shots. I don't mean to be morbid, but they inscribe the top of veterans' caskets & it's actually very pretty:

Tonight, I went to my first rehearsal for Anne. It seemed well run. We played a learn each other names games, and of course I was the only one to get answers wrong. I like the theatre space itself, it reminds me of somewhere but I can't remember where yet. People in York are so nice it can throw me off sometimes.

good morning

I had a dream last night that I was eating a bowl of cereal and after I drank the milk someone had written will you marry me on the bottom of the bowl. I can only hope that it will be that romantic in real life.

I think Oceanic is affiliated with the island since Cindy Stewardess was so chill about joining the Others.
