Lost in Scofield

Today, I went to Scofield, I was going to meet the author of a book I like, My Loving Vigil Keeping, Carla Kelly. Unfortunately, things didn’t go well, and I didn’t end up getting to meet her. I went with PJ, she had set the visit up through her boss, but when we got there, we couldn’t find the building we were supposed to be meeting them. After driving around, and getting lost, and ending up in Camp Mia Shalom, then down the canyon into Fairfield, we gave up, being an hour late, and having zero idea how to get to where we were supposed to be, we gave up and went home. Alas.

When we were in Scofield, we arrived about a half an hour early for our meeting time. Since we hadn’t had breakfast yet and had time to kill, we stopped at the town’s festival, and partook of their breakfast. This is the meal I got for 7 dollars:

Quite a bit of food, actually, I couldn’t even finish it all, but it was all delicious.

After we found our way out of the canyon, and were about to get back onto the highway and make it home, we passed an ice cream place that had just opened minutes before. Of course, being 11 in the morning, it’s a perfect time for ice cream. I was kind of jazzed, because I love to try local ice cream places everywhere I go. I get in there, take a look at the selection and realize...its all BYU creamery ice cream. Miles from home, and I’m eating ice cream that I can get 2 minutes from my house. It was still delicious.

Lost... Yes, quite literally,

I am addicted to many a TV show. You all know this. I can barely watch all the shows I record in a day, luckily I have the weekends to catch up. If I wasn't able to run and watch TV, I'd never watch anything! But I am fortunate enough to be able to do this. There are different levels of addictions for each show. You have your Psychs and your Leverages that I watch with all attention to the show, making sure I miss nothing. Then you have your Scrubs' and your Gossip Girls that you watch while you're doing something else. It's not that I don't like those shows, its just that they're not my favorites, so I don't have to pay complete attention. Lost used to be one of my beloved shows. I would wait every week for it to come on, watching it, making sure I have quiet around me, and nothing else is happening. The first season was amazing, and then, the second was pretty good. The third was awful, and the fourth seesawed between being really good and quite a load of garbage. It ended really well, so I had some high hopes for this season.
This season started, and I remembered, halfway during the show, the way I watch Lost now. I spend the entire episode going, "What the heck is happening? Should I know this person they're bringing on screen? Wait, what's going on now? Is this something I should have remembered from a previous season?" I swear I have no idea what that show is about now. But I am determined to stick it out. Every time I think about quitting, I remember the five years I've already put into this show, and I'll be damned if I give up on the show now that there's only two years left. I now NEED to know how this ends. I need to understand the island, and who everyone is, and the secrets. For every question that they've "answered" (I saw that with " " because I have yet to actually have something answered to my satisfaction) there's 20 more questions! And I am pretty sure that every person that watches it is the same as I. If you have a friend that tells you they "get" Lost and they understand everything going on, slap them in the face, because they are lying to you, and a slap is the best way to wake them up. Nobody understands this show. I'm pretty sure even the writers have no idea what's going on. They just keep putting stuff into the script, then they're probably laughing at all of us trying to figure it out! But I'm onto them, so they don't have me anymore. Ha!
I only have to hang on for a little bit longer to get every question answered, they tell me. I will finish, I will be victorious. But I'm telling you right now, if they leave it all cryptic and weird by the time it's over...there's really nothing I can do, lets be honest. Shoot.

Lost! Not found...yet

Ok, here's the thing. Things get lost around me all the time. I don't even lose them-I just realize, usually after a long period of time, that I haven't seen something in a while. Sometimes, it's just fallen behind my bed (where a lot of my pictures and remotes seem to end up) or behind my dresser or something, and when I find it later, I'm psyched! But lately, I'm noticing that things are coming up missing, and I have no idea where they could even be. I've lost video games, (that I'm pretty sure family members have "borrowed", only to never return again) shoes, books, and so much more stuff that I'm sure that I don't even know yet that I've lost.
When we first moved into the SF house from the Orem house, I lost a soccer bag in the move. True to my form, I don't think I noticed I had lost it until we had lived here for like a year or something, when I was trying to find the bag. The kicker is, I have absolutely no idea what was even in the bag. I don't know if I had soccer stuff in there, or random nothingness, but it's gone now. But the good news (for me) in that, is that Rory lost her bag-which is identical to mine. (creepy!) Still now, I wonder where that bag could be. Did we throw it away accidentally? Is it at the old house? I'll never know!
The thing that made me think of this recently is that my favorite towels have mysteriously disappeared. They're these big fluffy gray towels, and I didn't know I hadn't seen them for a while until a couple of days ago. I was trying to figure out the last time I had seen them, and I can't pinpoint the last time. I remember putting them into the laundry room, but other than that, I have no idea where they could have gotten to. I'm not saying someone in my house has stolen them, I'm just saying...there's nowhere else they really could have gone. But if they're returned shortly, I won't wage an all-out war on anybody. And I'll keep you people informed if they just randomly show up again.
