Lovable Friday!

1. This incredible cake

1. This incredible cake

As most of you know, my blog will be one year old next week. When I first started blogging, I never imagined that anyone would really care to read about my life and the things I like to do, wear, see and hear. Now, I average about 300 hits a day. I know that does not make me the next Dooce or anything, but it is definitely more than I ever expected. I was kind of bummed because all the projects I had planned for my anniversary either fell through or just didn’t happen because of time restraints and then my friend Rosie shows up with this amazing cake! She is always one of the first to comment and is always singing my praises all over the Internets. She is really the sweetest and most incredible person. So thank you so much, Rosie! I know I told you a million times, but you made my month and totally caught me off guard! I heart you :)

Nothing is irreversible

Wow what a night!
As promised, here is my “better late than never” post about last night’s LOST party and 2-hour season opener. The first half will focus on the party and then I’ll make sure to put any spoilers or information about the show under a cut so that those who have yet to see the show won’t want my head on a platter. ;)

The party was a complete success! Almost all of our LOSTie buddies were able to make it and I think it’s safe to say that we all had a great time being little fan girls and boys together. In case you were wondering, that’s my super-duper-I’m-so-excited face in the photo above. We were about to hit play on the DVR.

lost1: Both the hubs and I made Sawyer-iffic fish biscuits thanks to this great recipe. It was really difficult and quite the mission, but I think they turned out pretty decent. And they ended up tasting like animal crackers – nom nom!
2: I made my infamous pumpkin cupcakes (recipe here) with cream cheese frosting. In order to make them Dharma worthy, I added some fun custom flags (template here) with the Dharma logo on one side and the numbers on the other. They were a huge hit!
3: The complete table setup. Plenty of Dharma rations and a little recruit area complete with party favors (Dharma mints) and job titles on labels. Our guests were able to choose what job they would like in the Dharma Initiative. I really enjoyed watching people as they picked their occupations. It was really fun ;)
4: Mini chocolates also were dressed in Dharma gear. The remainder are now at my office – they are dangerous to have laying around the house.

The beginning of the end.

Lost-Last-Supper-1

For all us LOST fans, today is a very important and special day. Tonight marks the season premiere of the last season of LOST ever. Ever, people. This is it. What all of us have been waiting for all these years, but at the same are so sad to face. A show I was lucky enough to be exposed to since before the beginning – I first caught wind of LOST at Comic Con 2004 when the creators and actors presented the pilot episode to a very crowded Room 20. Also, in a moment I will never forget, I was able to attend the last ever LOST panel at Comic Con 2009. It’s been a huge part of my life for the past 6 years: while away at grad school, the hubs and I would watch LOST together over the phone, when I moved back home, we began hosting LOST parties for every premiere and finale, I created some friendships due to the show and converted countless others into LOSTies thanks to our extensive DVD collection.

So today is bittersweet for me. I sincerely think it is/has been the greatest TV show of our time and think others are going to have a very difficult time living up to its legacy. We will be hosting our largest LOST party to date tonight and I have put countless hours into preparing Dharma-riffic decorations, food and beverage. Definitely more so than other years. I can’t wait to share tonight with some of our closest LOST fanatics and hope the other LOST fans that read this blog can do the same! Have a great time and I hope to be able to share some of my thoughts on the party and show tomorrow (so it may be a little delayed).

I’ll leave you with some pictures from the Sunset on the Beach event in Honolulu this past weekend courtesy of DarkUFO.

Namaste!

1. Fuji Instax Camera

1. Fuji Instax Camera

I’m usually not into loving fad-ish cameras, but this one really got suckered me good. Although Polaroid is back with a vengeance, I can’t help but love the Fuji Instax. It’s adorably cute and helps you capture the moment instantly in fun bite-sized photos that you can put anywhere. My favorite uses of these pictures? These adorable wall collages. Hello, lover! ;)

A Very Merry Hump Day: Ian Somerhalder

I am very faithful to my LOSTies and although I did not really like Ian Somerhalder’s character, Boone, much on the show – he will always be on my good side. It also helps that he is now a main character on my number one guilty pleasure show: The Vampire Diaries. Yeah, yeah. Mock me all you want. The hubs and I absolutely love it! And Ian plays asshole way better than emo, needy and annoying. I’m still kicking myself for not saying hello as he passed right by me in a hotel lobby during Comic-Con. Well, maybe it was for the best since I was about to squeal “BOONE!” Slightly embarrassing. I opted to just squee internally as I so often do. So enjoy this little Christmas present from yours truly and check him out on Twitter!
