The husband asked tonight, "So is everyone who watches Lost like a Star Trek dork?" I told him that J.J. Abrams was one of the creators of Lost and the new Star Trek movie. "Then you are all Star Trek, Lost, and let me guess...Star Wars dorks?" Well maybe not all three, but I am a proud Lost dork. We love it because it requires high intelligence to ponder smoke monsters, love quadrangles, and dead fathers walking around an island!
These are the Lost coasters I made for the giveaway. My husband also had a wise crack about these, "So, would you have a Lost party and bring these out and pretend you are part of the Dharma Initiative?" Um, yes. I also thought the winner could pretend they are Sawyer and Juliet, and when you have the Dharma people over, you use the white side, and when Kate is visiting, ruining your night, the green. The giveaway will have 2 books, some Dharma paper bags, these coasters, and Lost peg people. I am trying to scramble and finish them. It's really difficult to paint real people on a peg doll frame, especially Sawyer. So, if they look awful, lie to me.
I wish you lived near me because I would have a Lost party and we could drink Dharma beer, like this, or have food like this with a 15 year old cracker tray, Jin's sushi, Hurley's candy bars, and four toed cookies. I would send you an invitation.
The giveaway - I need to verify I have everyone's answers to the three questions. I know some of you emailed me or changed your answer and since my in box is a mess, please help. If no one gets all three correct, I will throw your names in a hat and let FATE decide. ha ha.
I've shortened your answers:
Rebecca - the 815ers disappearing, Hurley, Juliet
Rina - leak at the Swan, Juliet, Kate
Jen - bomb that was buried in the 50s, Miles, Kate
Lenetta - Buried the bomb but it continued to leak, all the Dharma people, Kate
Tracy - electromagnetic burst, Miles, Kate
Hope - Losties try to return to present time, Sayid, Juliet
Sarah Eliza - Ilana & cohorts attempt to attack settlement, Ilana, Horace & Amy, Juliet
Tracey - past & present colliding, Jack, Kate & Juliet
Courtney - magnetic issue, Daniel, Kate
Sarah - temple, Ana Lucia look-a-like, Saywer kisses her (if this happens you don't need coasters!)
If I've missed you or have the wrong answers, please let me know. I have all my messages saved, so if you forgot I will be able to find them before the winner is announced.
Happy Lostmas Eve.
How freaking cool are those coasters!!!! Seriously girl, you rock!
I can't believe tomorrow is the season finale. I'm so sad.

Damn - is that profanity? Anyway - damn those coasters are cool. And damn - you are funny. And I do like Star Wars but not Star Trek. I also like "How I Met Your Mother." And again - Damn those are cool - your are cool and Lost is cool. Damn. Okay, I'm done.
And sorry if Damn is not allowed in your house. My mother would be disappointed in me but well, damn.

Those look so great! My hubby asks me things like that, and then puts the girls to bed so I can watch in peace. I can't wait to see your Sawyer peg doll!

Chalk me up for dorkdom too! :) It's good to be a dork...we are far more interesting than non-dorks. lol And by the by...I haven't even seen Star Trek yet and I am already hot on the new Spock.
Alright...I waited til the last minute but here are my answers to your questions (those coasters ROCK btw! and I NEED a Sawyer peg doll!)
1. The incident is the release of the magnetic energy either through the Swan or the bomb...I think this will cause a time shift, flinging our 815ers back to their own time.
2. I am sorry to say that I think Juliet is toast.
3. Therefore I think Sawyer will be kissing and crying over her dead body.
4. Bonus..What lies in the shadow of the statue? I think they want us to think that its the bomb because of the temple...but I don't think so. I think Jacob's grave lies in the shadow of the statue.
Can't wait!!!!

I wish I could come to a lost party at your place too! Except then I'd have to drive home and I have to work in the morning.
I'm so excited!
Also, I'm not a star trek person, but holyshit the new star trek movie is so great. J J Abrams is the man.

Awesome! I love the coasters, and I'm so curious to see your (gorgeous) (creative) peg dolls. Sounds very fun. :)
Love the giveaway, and I'd totally come to your Lost party and bring more Dharma beer. ;P
Btw, is the finale tonight really three hours long and starting early? My mind is boggled by this, and my boyfriend is seriously unhappy to lose me for a whole evening, haha! Oh well, the price we Lost fanatics must pay... and yeah, I'll admit to being a HUGE Star Wars fan, and to loving the new Star Trek too. I'm not ashamed!!

You are soooo creative and obsessed! LOVE those coasters. I was thinking about doing an intarsia knit Dharma sweater!
I want to come to the LOST party too, but I live in L.A. Boo Hoo!
