A Fitting Sendoff

I think it has finally sunk in. It's Tuesday night; no more Lost. Sunday was an emotional night for me to say the least as I somewhat mourned the end of one of the best TV shows I have ever had the pleasure to watch. I absolutely loved the finale because I have always been one of those Losties that was more concerned about the characters than all of the details. While some people are still debating whether they were in "purgatory" (which I don't believe by the way, but I won't go into my opinion) or complaining about the religious aspects, I feel that the creators gave us a wonderful ending to an incredible story. To honor that, I had my own little party:


Good

And evil

The struggle

Some Dharma drinks

I'm with Jacob


All I can say is thank goodness True Blood is starting up soon. I need something to pull me out of my Lost funk.

A Night with Lost

The hubby was sweet enough to buy us tickets to the LOST Live event last week that happened at UCLA's Royce Hall. Considering how fast tickets sold out (in ten minutes), I cannot state enough how blessed I feel to have been able to attend this event.

If you're a Lostie like myself, you must know what it meant to attend this event. I admit, I didn't watch Lost in the beginning, though my sister and mom raved about it. I got sucked into the Lost universe during season two and never looked back. There are so few TV shows which ever truly have an impact on your life, but Lost is definitely one of those shows. I connected with the characters and their searches on such personal levels. To think it is coming to an end saddens me deeply.

Since I am always on the search for a great burger, we first stopped at a restaurant that has been raved about out here in Los Angeles, Umami Burger. It is supposed to touch on the fifth flavor, savory, and they actually steam their burgers. A colleague had raved about it.

I ordered the Port and Stilton burger, which had blue cheese and onions. I was so psyched, and as I prepared for the first bite, my nerves were tingling. But then, failure. The hubby and I both looked at each other with such disappointment. Sorry Umami, but you did not live up to your hype.

Fortunately, Lost live more than made up for it. Michael Giacchino led an orchestra through six of the most striking songs featured on Lost, and then we actually got to see Tuesday night's episode that night. Let me tell you, the crowd went nuts getting to see the episode before everyone else.

To finish, I grabbed my "Dharma Water" from the Vitamin water reps and called it a night. Sunday, I loathe thee. I don't know what I will do without my Lost.

Cruisin' Together...

Last Friday night, the hubby and I were able to take a little boat ride around Newport Harbor. I cannot emphasize enough how lovely it was to just let my hair down and relax. We've been so busy with work, the house, etc, the last few weeks that I have wanted to scream. This little excursion was just what we needed.







We have a special event for Lost that we are attending at UCLA tomorrow night. SO excited!!

Closin' In On...

Oy vey! Why does the end of the school year sap me of any energy I have left? I am counting down the weeks now, only eight until summer. Somehow, all of my house update posts have escaped me as did the month of April. I vow to try better.

Sunday, the hubby and I made it out to Disneyland. Oh, how I love season passes! As the sun shined down, it made me realize just how much I cannot wait until it's summertime.
