Yep, I'm Obsessed

I love Google. In case you missed it, check out this year's April Fool's spoof: http://www.google.com/tisp/install.html

It's pretty good. Almost as funny as last year's lunar base joke.

Random Lost thought: We've all noticed that the characters' names seem to have some significance- Jack Shephard in seat 23... John Locke/John Locke, Desmond David Hume/David Hume, and Danielle Rousseau/Jean-Jaques Rousseau (the historical philosophers were all British Empiricists, plus there's the whole tabula rasa thing)... I got to thinking about some of the less obvious names- like James "Sawyer" Ford. He's such a "Han Solo" character, do you suppose his last name is a wink and a nod to Harrison Ford? (Not to mention the fact that he has now called Hurley "Jabba", Jin "Chewie", and referred to the "wookiee prisoner gag".)

Second random Lost thought: I'm pretty psyched that this week is a "Kate" episode. I hope we finally get to see the rest of that breakfast conversation between her and Ben. I know that all reason is against me, but I suspect that she actually "picked" Jack, not Sawyer. When we see her after the breakfast, she is a shell of her former self- people on the message boards have been suggesting that it seemed like she had just been raped. Also, when she tells Sawyer that she doesn't love him- call me crazy, but I believed her. She was pissed. Then, in the next episode, she breaks the lock off of his cage to have sex with him instead of, oh, I don't know- escaping??? Finally, last week, we see Ben say to Juliet that he will get Jack to do the surgery by using his emotions against him. This is sick, but I'm thinking that Ben put Kate up to it-told her that if she didn't do what he wanted, he'd kill Sawyer. We'll see!

Of course, that's probably all wishful thinking on my part. Despite the fact that he can be a real jackass, I find myself quietly rooting for Jack... (Don't hurt me, Jamie!)
