@Lisa, yes I've heard of that - it's a common Japanese last name, aside from being a motorcycle, but I guess people laugh inappropriately when they're not sure how to react.

If I was the artist and could find out who that guy was, I'd cancel his @$$.

Yah really don't know how people got through the server crashing in order to buy but I guess they did.

@Patmc You could always buy one of these, it comes in white ;) *hugs*

2010-02-11T12:32:02.139-05:00

I didn't even get to the cart. Server crashed... I refreshed several times... and it was sold out.

I think I'm going to go cry quietly in a corner for a bit... (sigh)

...And it will continue to be my "white whale"...

GEEZ LOUISE I'm somewhat idly hitting refresh, see the button, click, your cart is empty (twice), server crashes, SOLD OUT.

Had to have sold out in under 15 seconds.

Man, I hope those of you after it worked some kind of magic!

DAMN IT!!!! It's sold out!!!!!!!!

2010-02-11T12:02:35.807-05:00

@Anne - Of course we understand! I'm sorry to hear about the illnesses... but the island heals all. :-) I'm very glad I had the opportunity to meet you, and other fans from LostARGS at the Gallery 1988 event. I'll always associate that event with you and your polar bear. :-)

I always sound like a broken (or "skipping") record... but the people I've met here are some of the kindest, friendliest, most generous people that I've ever met... online or offline. And our shared love of LOST is what brought us here... and kept us here. How many TV shows do you know that have had that effect on so many people from all over the world?

I really hope we have some way at the "Graduation" to communicate with others at LOST University. It would be awesome to mingle with everyone there... LOL

Back to the F5'ing... Good times!

2010-02-11T06:27:34.410-05:00

congrats Anne, I do hope you get better and fast. Those unknown illnesses are the worst. My son had one and when I tell people about it, they usually laugh since the name is the same as a motorcycle. He had Kawasaki- it kills kids by stopping their heart so I never found it funny but now I've learned to laugh too. Anyway, hope you heal fast or can find a healing pool(that won't turn you to the dark side :-)

2010-02-11T01:52:18.980-05:00

. . . okay, I checked. Not sure whether I should admit it or not, but I did get an email, and I promptly embarrassed myself by getting weepy over it.

I guess when you've been "a student" for 10 years, three schools, and never made it to a college graduation (thanks to two very rare, relatively serious illnesses I had to fight to prove were even real) . . . graduation from SOMETHING means a lot. Having a diploma means a lot.

Guess I figured if anybody would get that, people here might. LOST started airing right when I got sick the last time, and maybe I can hope that when it ends I'll be looking at what I can call "recovered" (from illness, not Lost, lol).

It was not a good time and well, without a lot that was, LOST was my constant.

I believe very strongly in the power of the arts in people's lives so I've no hesitation to say that. I'm going to write about LU as an independent study so that it goes towards a "real" diploma.

I will cease being a sap, return you to regularly scheduled discussion and go to bed; and apologize to those who were doing LU and didn't make the 108. You still accomplished something real, lifelong learning all the way baby.

2010-02-11T01:17:43.272-05:00

@Patmc yes I see that post about the email now, I'm not sure I want to know! lol. Some pride in staying on the Dean's List, though. I highly doubt I made the other "list".

I have some Throwback in the fridge - haven't tried it yet, I usually drink the "colored" Dew. Overly sweet tends to be my pref so we'll see how I like it!

Realized I have an appointment tomorrow so I will be out about two hours. Will probably miss Tan drop in the meanwhile, but was only going to try to buddy anyway.

Good luck to everyone, and see (some of) you at graduation! The rest can be our +1s :)

2010-02-10T23:55:22.334-05:00

I'm just glad that we don't have to rush to the graduation ceremony at 12:01am tomorrow morning to get the diplomas!

2010-02-10T23:54:12.120-05:00

Just another reminder to graduates of LOST University: the graduation ceremony is only about 24 hours away! Don't forget to login at LOST U, and see if you were one of the first 108 people to complete your courses! I wonder if I still have my cap and gown from my college graduation...? :-)

@Amy Lynn - the strength of an earthquake always depends on local geography and distance from the epicenter. We had a 3.5 here several years ago, that knocked pictures off walls and broke some glasses, because we were only about 10 miles from the epicenter.

@Anne - Duh! I completely forgot you were in Chi Town too! Sorry for your rude awakening... but at least it is a good conversation starter for a few days... LOL

BTW... be sure to try Mountain Dew Throwback if you haven't already. Made with sugar instead of the overly sweet corn syrup. My wife and I are hooked on it right now!

Man I get all kinds of epic behind when I'm no...

2010-02-10T15:54:35.324-05:00

Man I get all kinds of epic behind when I'm not feeling well - also forgot that I still have a spare Locke's Secret tee, size M, from the gallery. Will post the measurements in a bit. Will sell at cost via lotto, just give me your name if you're interested once I've posted the sizing. :)

BTW - I could NOT LIVE without Mountain Dew. @_@; Only way I'm (sort of) functioning currently lol!

2010-02-10T15:50:03.763-05:00

Earthquake woke ME up! I heard a weird noise like loud wind or a snow plow, then it felt like something hit the house and the bed shook like someone falling against it. My first thought was "earthquake", followed by "night terror" lol. Too much scientific investigation related to the paranormal in my lifetime ;) (I did a paper) Was relieved it was a quake! XD

Smoke Break came on Monday, but I bought the wrong size frame. Very pleased to have it though! :)

I'm glad someone mentioned the CafePress contest - I forgot about it! ACK. I have an idea but not sure I have the skills to execute it - would be best done with vectors which I don't know how to use.

My LOST drawing is still being worked on, btw, some issues with digital inking and colors; you don't get to see it till I'm done. ;) And polar bears are not forgotten - I have a magazine deadline to make this week!

Ugh, Lost auction . . . I really really really want a prop but have a fear of stratospheric prices. :(

2010-02-10T12:42:44.655-05:00

I am Ahab... and The Crash is my "white whale". It's literally the last one I need to complete my collection. I think there are a couple of "regulars" here that said they would help me, so I will try to be optimistic! :-)

I hate the "all day" ones though... my stomach will be in knots all day now. Makes me want to laugh, cry and throw up... all at the same time. It's just like the old days... good times! LOL

2010-02-10T04:24:58.843-05:00

@Jason

Jokes aside, I've pretty much given up on The Crash.

Much as I would like it, I prefer the prints I already have, and in my job, I can't afford to sit in front of the PC all day, so I doubt I'll get one.

Besides, give it 12 months and there will be loads on ebay.
