FallingLEAVes of Sunshine

Jimmy Kimmel asked, where did the polar bears come from? What about the Smoke Monster? Did we ever get a definitive answer on that? I also came up with the following: Did they ever say why women couldn't give birth on the island? And why men became more ... productive? Did it have to do with the electromagnetism stuff? How about Locke and Rose being healed? Why was Walt special? Where did his gifts come from? What about Hurley? How come Hurley was the only one who could see ghosts? We know where Miles' gift came from. He was born on the island.

"Out of work Terry" - not good Terry or bad Terry. Hmm Terry and Michael on the Amazing Race? "We goof around quite a bit" - Matthew Fox lol I can see Josh Holloway being the least professional. I want to see bloopers and practical jokes. That's funny that Terry asked if he was there or not. "I've had a lot of great scenes that involved food" Michael Emerson. Love it that Michael's favorite scene was when Locke brought him food and said it was a rabbit. Ben asked, "did it have a number on it?" Love the sound effects! The trombones and different sounds of Lost. Including the Drive Shaft music when they went to commercial. Josh Holloway is sooo sexy hot! Even doing the snaking! "What about the baby?" I didn't realize that. Jin gets on boat ... something bad happens. "How many times were you beaten as Ben Linus?" - Jimmy "How many episodes was I in?" Michael LOL "wow, those really are natural" ...

So, I have seen a few shows come to an end. I've got to say. Lost is the best show to end the way it did. I absolutely love the Series Finale. Best Series Finale EVER! Things I love: Benjamin Linus finally doing something completely unselfish when he pushed Hurley out of the way of the falling tree. Glad to see there is some good in Mr. Linus. When Juliet and Sawyer finally get back together. After six years, Kate finally chose Jack. Anyone else expected Charlie to call baby Aaron, "Turnip Head"? Sun and Jin start speaking English right after they got their Island memories. Shannon and Sayid! Then Boone talking to Hurley afterward. "We'll give them a minute" or something like that. Was anyone else really concerned for Rose and Bernard? And of course, the coffin is empty. Just like it was on the island. Craziness! Another Christian Shepherd ghost. Who is he this time? "I died too." Anyone else's head completely spinning? Boone looks so good! Gla...

Does anyone have a copy of the following newspapers from Sunday, April 4th they would like to donate to my Dodgers scrapbook/yearbook? Pasadena Star News LA Daily News LA Daily Breeze Thanks if you do!

Okay, so I wasn't baking when it happened. Ten minutes ago, I was in bed, trying to fall asleep. I am a night owl by nature. So going to bed after 3 AM isn't unusual for me. What was unusual however was about an hour after I turned the lights off... I turned them back on again. If you didn't feel it or haven't heard yet ... at 4:04 AM this morning, we had ourselves a little 4.4 magnitude earthquake. It was centered at 34°N, 118°W, which puts you in West Covina/Whittier/Hacienda Heights area. A little more exact, it's 5 miles NE of Downey, 11 miles ESE of Los Angeles. Here's the link where I found it http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/US2/33.35.-119.-117.php I was actually a little surprised that when I pulled up the initial map of CA, there were so many little blips for earthquakes. Most of them appear to be small ones, under 2.5 for the most part. A few 3's here and 4's there. This is the first earthquake that's jolted me. I fel...

That's what my cousin Jenny said about Balboa Park. First she compared it to NYC's Central Park. Then DC. After we went to Petco Park for the Padre's fan fest , we headed out to Balboa Park. Jenny had heard about it and wanted to go. It took us a little bit to find it and to find parking. Once we found parking, we found the line for the tram. We decided to walk instead. It didn't take long to find Balboa Park. Once we found a map, Kevin was surprised at how far we had walked.

On Saturday, I drove down to San Diego for the Padres Fan Fest. Yes, you read that correctly. It says "Padres", not "Dodgers". Why, you may ask? Because, yes, I drove an hour and forty-five minutes to San Diego to attend a Padres Fan Fest. You may be having the same reaction my cousin did when I asked if she would go with me. She said, "But you're a Dodger fan! You bleed Dodger blue." I said, yeah, I do. But I also like the Friars (among several other teams) and at the time, there were several players listed on the website that I would like to get their autographs. And yes, most of them were former Dodgers. So, in a way, I wasn't going to get an autograph from a Padre... I was going to get one from a former Dodger. Anyway, I sent my photos to Costco to print and then checked the list again. The list had been shortened and two of the three names I wanted were gone. Oh well. I was still going anyway. We planned the entire day: Petco Park, Balbao Park...

‘Criminal Minds’ star Matthew Gray Gubler overcomes ‘legendary’ injury Great interview with MGG

Here are the links to my blog posts about the Dodger caravan and other things this week Dodger Caravan Day 2 (Day One was closed to the public) ESPN Zone - Here's a little snippet from that one It was my turn to get my things signed. Andre was up first. With the help of others, we selected the photo from the paper when Andre "reacts after his bases-loaded walk in the eighth inning brings home the decisive run" against the Phillies in Game 2 of the NLCS. I asked him if he wouldn't mind adding the Silver Slugger on there. I had to think about it, cause I almost said "gold" but then I was like, no, wrong precious metal. So, he wrote "2009 Silver Slugger" and then he paused and added "+" and kept going. After he signed his name, he said "I added that." "That" being, he added "MLB Clutch Performer of the Year". How sweet was that! Since he wrote all that, I was holding up the line. . At first I felt bad about it....

... since I've been asked if I have a boyfriend, which is usually followed by "why not?" when I tell the person asking that I don't have one and never have. And it took me a little by surprise being asked that today. When I was talking to my friend about it, she said they were probably just trying to make conversation. She asked me how many new people have I met because that's what people usually ask when you meet them. I told her I've met a ton of new people this year and none of them have asked me if I have a boyfriend. Talk about meeting new people ... I have met a TON of new people this year. So many that I can't even remember all of their names. Not quite sure if any of them have asked me the "boyfriend" question. I think a few may have asked me like if I go to the games with my boyfriend... but I can't recall any right now.
