Michael Emerson Way Back in High School

Who wants to see Michael Emerson's high school pictures? Raise your hands if you do!

I just had to smile when I saw DarkUFO's tweet:

So I clicked on the link and I was transported to a blog run by Ryan and Maria - a couple, I think. Apparently, Maria's father went to high school with Michael Emerson! In Iowa! She scanned the relevant yearbook photos and posted them.

I love the part where she said Michael hated being in the debate team and preferred the thespian club. Eating an entire tube of toothpaste to get out of a competition? Oh, my gosh.

Everyone, click on the link below to check out Michael Emerson's high school pics!

Ryan and Maria - "Bet They Don't Call You 'Squirrelly' Now"

Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

I'm not dressing up for Halloween.

Yep, that's right. I've never been into dressing up, so I'm not gonna bother today.

If I were forced to do so, however, I'd just wear a dark tank top, cargo pants, and hiking boots or shoes. Then I'd get a toy rifle from the dollar store and let my super-long hair down. I'd also have a black cross-body bag.

I'd be LOST's Danielle Rousseau when the castaways first meet her in 2004. Wehehehehehe...

Yuck.

This is kinda random, but I just can't help but share it to the world. This sign was taped to the ladies' room wall at work:



Uhm. Duh. Isn't that expected of everyone? I mean, that is just personal hygiene!

But imagine if someone actually doesn't wash her hands after she uses the washroom? Ew. As in, ew.

New Kelly Clarkson Album Details Released!!!

Finally! The official title and cover of Kelly Clarkson's new album has been revealed on her official website, KellyOfficial.com. The site sent out the official newsletter with the title, cover, and release date of the album.



Hmmm... Not really feeling the cover background, but the title is interesting. Wonder if All I Ever Wanted is also the title of one of the tracks?

However, there is still no official release date for the first single with the fantabulous title - "My Life Would Suck Without You" - and cover though. RCA is saying it's January, but there are only three New Music Tuesdays left this month. I guess I'll have to check iTunes every Tuesday then?



Remember y'all: Kelly Clarkson's new album, All I Ever Wanted, is coming out on 17 March 2009 - as in, St. Patrick's Day! Y'all can pre-order the album from Amazon.com for now. Unfortunately, it is not available for pre-order on Amazon.ca yet. I'll let y'all know when it is.

Can't wait!!!

Ah... The Joys of Listening to the DVD Audio Commentaries...

As part of my preparation for the DVD set release and the new season, I was re-watching Season 2 of LOST this weekend. I was listening to the audio commentaries as well.

Anyway, I was re-watching episode 2x16 - "The Whole Truth" - when Daniel Dae Kim (who was doing the commentary with co-star Yunjin Kim, and writers Elizabeth Sarnoff and Christina M. Kim) made a very interesting point.

In one scene, Jack had just stepped out of the shower. He found Locke shaving at the sink. (Thanks to LOST-Media.com for the screen caps.)



Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin-Soo Kwon, pointed out that Locke glanced down for a split second (see pic below).

Hahaha! I wonder why Locke did that... Was it scripted or what?!

Hehe.. I'm being naughty, but I swear I did not realise that until DDK pointed it out.

By the way, the DVD sets for LOST Seasons 1 to 3 are all available now. The Season 4 DVD set will be released on 9 December 2008.

And LOST will return on 21 January 2009 at 8/7 central for its fifth season!

Oh... My... Goodness

He's tall. He's scruffy. He sings ballads. He's been married for 12 years. He just turned 40. He's Australian. And he's People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.



Booyah.

According to Nicole Kidman, "Women's jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room." So true. He takes my breath away every time I see him on TV or on magazines. The man is simply too hot.

Ahh... Shall we have one more look at the Sexiest Man Alive?

A Trip to Oahu Next Fall, Anyone?

I am going to Oahu next October.

But of course, that is not for sure. What is ever finalised in my life?

A little bit of background: I've been planning to go to Oahu, Hawaii, since spring of this year. I hoped to be there this fall (October). Why? Because LOST films in Oahu and filming for Season 5 began in mid-August! But then, I got laid off and my practical side opted to put it off and go looking for a job.

I started in my new job last month, so I am eligible to take a vacation after 1 October 2009 (assuming, of course, I'm still employed there). I thought, "Hey, perfect. I can be in Oahu while they're filming the final season!"

Then, one of my favourite LOST bloggers and Facebook friend changed her Facebook profile picture to this... (I recommend that you look at the pic first before you scroll down.)

Yep, the one, the only, Terry O'Quinn.

Now, I am more resolved in vacationing there next fall. I probably won't get to duplicate her experience. (What would I do if I met Foxy or Michael Emerson? Hmmm...) But what have I got to lose? I'll be in one of the most beautiful places on earth, I'll be able to take part in the Kos tour, and I'll be able to relax. Meeting any one of my favourite LOST stars would be the icing on the cake.

I just need someone to go with me.

Dude, I'm serious. I'd take either fellow LOST fans or friends who are supportive of my LOST addiction. Heck, I'd take both.

Will you go with me to Oahu next year?

P.S. I am dead serious. I will send Cerberus/Sayid Jarrah to kill all those who spam me or punk me.

What Was Josh Thinking?

Josh Holloway must be filming a movie when this was snapped.



Either that, or one timeline/"flash" in LOST Season 5 will show Sawyer like that. Kinda doubt it, though. Still, he looks hot with the tattoos.

And here's another Josh who needs both a stylist and a brutally honest friend: Joshua Chasez, a.k.a. JC Chasez - the former *NSYNCer and current judge in Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew.



JC, I love you, but what the heck were you thinking? *Sigh* Why don't you set up your own record label, finish The Story of Kate, release it, and focus more on your music? It should keep you from choosing clothes that don't emphasize your good features (the beautiful blue eyes, the slim bod, et cetera). (Do I sound like Stacy London? Sorry, too much What Not To Wear.) And can you grow your hair already?

...

Must be a slow news day.

Need Your LOST Fix?

It's been more than two months since Season Four ended. Filming for Season Five is starting in about two weeks. Of course, January / February 2009 is so far away.

I bet y'all miss LOST.

I found a post on the Lostpedia Blog about websites full of LOST-related humour. The one I've seen so far is Lost ROFL. It has clever and hilarious avatars, images, videos, et cetera. This is one of my favourites:

Ain't it cute???

I'm not that talented with graphics and stuff, so I just look for this kind of LOST humour all over the Internet.

Entertainment Weekly's List of 25 Unforgettable TV Exits

EW.com lists the 25 unforgettable TV swan songs. Of course Charlie Pace's death is one of them.

As y'all know he drowned at the end of Season 3, after speaking with Penny Widmore. It's that dratted Mikhail: he detonated his stupid grenade and flooded the Looking Glass station's communication room.

Anyway here's what Entertainment Weekly says about it:

''So much for fate.'' Those are Charlie's last words — at least in this dimension. Confident that he'd beaten Desmond's prophecy of his death by drowning, he turns to see the eye-patch-wearing Other he thought he'd killed blow up the substation's window. As the seawater rises to submerge him inside the Looking Glass station, Charlie slams the door to protect Desmond and scribbles a note of warning to him that the people the castaways think are coming to save them are not their friends. Charlie might not have beaten fate, but he beat his demons, as the heroin-addicted rock star finally had his redemption.

Gosh, I miss Charlie! Do you think he'll appear in Season 5 or 6?

Anyway, check out the photo gallery if you like.

B'Day Pics

Finally!

I got my camera USB connector from my brother-in-law. Woohoo!

Here's a few of them:



I got those from the Metropolis @ Metrotown store of Old Navy on my birthday. Cost me $108. No, I'm not kidding. I just smiled when I saw the total bill.



My sister gave this to me. She must have realized how much I spend for my iPod media. Har-dee-har-har. It was a great gift, actually, because I spent it on my first TV episode purchase (the June 3rd episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart; watch the episode too, if you want to know why I bought it) and my first movie rental (August Rush).



And my favourite: caramel highlights! I used to be a hair-colour virgin, but weeks before my birthday, I thought, "Why the heck not?" It's something different. I probably won't get highlights all the time, though. Too much chemicals.

Y'all can go to my Flickr photostream, if you want to see the other B'Day pictures, as well as the other pictures.
