Made it bleed!

You could catch the Charlie and Humphrey PSAs in the afternoons during Dialing for Dollars. I'm pretty sure it was Dialing for Dollars. I was usually at Nonni's house, parked on the floor with my toys right in front of the tv and watching DFD while she cooked.
I'm completely giddy seeing these again, it's been 30+ years since the last time. (ouch, that smarts)
Anyway, I'm loving the Hostility theme. Humphrey is just adorable when he's angry. Next time it seems that everyone on the freeway is intent on killing me, this is where my mind is going.

Grandma Hambone calls hostility the work of the Devil!

Skins mah knee, Charlie, skins mah knee!
Tee hee hee

Happy Birthday Desmond!

Well, to Henry Ian Cusick who plays Desmond anyhow. Happy 42!

I hope Desmond's back soon!
The show just isn't as sexy without him.

I met Lost people!

So, I went to the Lost Weekend Fan Event at the beginning of the month and was pleasantly suprised to find out that some of the actors and creators were making appearances. Hee hee!

Sam Anderson who portrays Bernard. I feel a bit guilty, Sam came up and gave me a big hug thinking I was someone else. I apologized for not being who he thought I was but thanked him for the warm greeting. I must have really looked like this person because a couple of the creators said Hi and asked me how I was doing thinking I was this person as well. If I ever get to meet Desmond, I hope he knows this person and wants to her a big ol' hug. Oh please oh please!

Sterling Beaumon, he plays young Ben. This kid was too adorable! He was having a good time basking in all the attention. He really made the whole evening fun. He gets extra points for selecting my raffle tickets.

Andrea Gabriel who plays Nadia.
(The photo is cropped because next to this skinny, young thing I looked like a sausage in a cocktail dress. )

On the left, Adetokumboh McCormack who plays Yemi and on the right, Sterling. Happy fan in the center.

I won the autographed Hurley doll in the silent auction. I got Jack-jacked at the last second. Grrrr.

My major awards. I won the photo as a door prize and won the two tees signed by Matthew Fox and Jorge Garcia in the raffle.

I have to admit that my photography that weekend just stunk up the place. I really didn't capture anyone in a very flattering way. I'll have to do better next time. Anyway, it was a really fun weekend, I'm so going next year!

She can do no wrong!

Okay, I'm girl crushing so hard right now on Drew Barrymore. I just love her! The girl is on fire lately clothes-wise. I mean, just look at these outfits...

Wicked!

Hate the shoes but love that dress and look at her work it.

And from the Gray Gardens premiere...

Love it!

Okay, new Bucket List entry - Become best friends with Drew Barrymore and go shopping and have cocktails afterwards. Hey, it could happen!

Blame it on Facebook.

Hello? Anyone out there?
Yes, I've been ignoring my blog. My apologies. I went and joined Facebook and have been spending most of my spare time there instead.
Coming soon I'll post some pics from the Lost Weekend Fan Event. I will also start making more of an effort to keep this updated.

Gettin' tiki with it!

Sam made the drive down from Washington to visit folks in the Bay Area. Jeannette and I took her out last Saturday to get her tiki on!

First stop, Forbidden Island for a warm up cocktail.


And then on to Tiki Tom's for some more cocktails...


A little music...


And some grub.
We murdered the Pu Pu Platter!



As the sun began to set over the Park St. bridge, we bid adieu to the tropical atmosphere and our cocktails (by finishing them) and headed over to Jeannette's to watch old vids and reminisce. A good time was had by all!

I love Minty!

Just in case you're not familiar with it, here's an episode of Posh Nosh. You can catch it on PBS, usually after Rosemary and Thyme.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!


The real color of St. Patrick's Day is black.
Drink safely!

Yes, I've been quite lazy

Hey all!
I know, I've been ignoring my blog. Aside from not being inspired and not doing anything particularly interesting, I've also determined that our computer set up here is crippling me. Whatever the opposite of ergonomic is, this set up is that in spades so I'm not spending as much time here as I used to. Okay, disclaimer - check!
Now for something really interesting!
We went to Wondercon on the first with Jane and Syd. I'll admit I wasn't feeling the con this year. It was a nice afternoon out though.

Jane and Syd with Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper. Vader is such a poser!


The highlight of the day was meeting Richard Kiel.

You may remember hims as Jaws from the Bond movies "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker" or as Mr. Larson from Happy Gilmore.


Here's us. He is quite the huge fellow!


My autograph. My ball struck his foot! Yuk yuk.


Jim had the best time ever!
