The Tiny Plane Was Tossed, and Now These Folks Are LOST:)

Hey there fellow Goddess Queens of the Universe. Do you have close friends at work who totally are in love with Lost like you are? Well, I have come up with the e-mail, text message junkies Lost codes. The neat thing about this is that you don’t ever have to watch one episode of the impossibly hard to follow show, and still use these messages to write those friends of yours who love Lost to stay in the loop. Anywho… one last thing to say. Enjoy!!!

Lost Codes:)
10. Here comes the black fog. Meaning: Here comes the boss.
09. The Others are approaching. Meaning: The brown-nosers are in earshot.
08. die@ Meaning: Die!!!
07. Dad? Meaning: Where are you?
06. Driveshaft. Meaning: (You all) everybody.
05. 4 8 15 16 23 42 Meaning: Working now. Write back later. Also means: I have no time.
04. Everything happens for a reason. Meaning: Cheer up, I sympathize.
05. Dharma-rific!!! Meaning: Horrible.
04. Meet me at the hatch. Meaning: Come to my desk.
03. And, I’m Henry Gale. Meaning: What a lie!!!
02. Sayid Meaning: Torture!!!
01. Oceanic Flight 815 Meaning: I’m completely lost.

Here's an example of the codes in use:

Dad? The others were approaching and they are just Dharma-rific!!! I overheard the black fog telling Driveshaft that I'm Oceanic Flight 815... and, I'm Henry Gale!!! Working here is Sayid. If you don't meet me at the hatch later on I think I'm going to die! Well, maybe later. Right now I'm 4 8 15 16 23 42 anyway. Later:)

Comment on how these codes work for you:)

Things To Look Out For:)
TV and You… See For Yourself:)
Jersey may have a new motto, but what’s a motto which-u if you don’t watch the new season of The Sopranos? (9:00PM EST Where else? HBO)


Another thing all fellow Goddess Queens of the Universe should see for themselves is how hot the guys on Prison Break are. Watch it March 20th Fox 5 8:00PM EST.


I was a Project Runway Reject:x
Yes fellow Goddess Queens of the universe, I was a future fashion-ista reject. The sad story goes as follows:
I wasn’t a contestant on Project Runway, or even an applicant. My tale begins over a decade ago when I was applying for a little art college called Parsons. Every year, back in 1994 (my senior year), one senior in the extra curricular art program I belonged to would have the chance to receive a full scholarship to Parsons in New York City. Only six students in my area even made it to the extra curricular art program I belonged to, so I was pretty stoked to even have an opportunity. Five of the six of us worked our buns off, painting and sculpting, making monoprints, and graphite sketches. After all was said and done, I was the youngest Hispanic female artist who had ever had multiple one-woman shows, won multiple art awards and achievements, and I even had received a plaque deeming me the best senior artist of 1994 in three states. I still felt humble, and felt that the best man or woman should win the Parson’s scholarship. There was however that one student who never gained those accomplishments, never had a portfolio or sketchbook, and never even came to one session of the art program he had been ushered into. The day of the Parsons competition came. There I was, all dressed up, with my portfolio filled with 45 3x2 foot paintings, sketchbooks, slides, prints, and hope. My four other fellow classmates also appeared just as prepared, bright-eyed, and bushy tailed. When the Parsons critic arrived to judge the students for the scholarship, the one student who had never come to class, came in wearing a long black cape that he had obviously gotten at Party City. He didn’t speak a word to the judge. He simply went straight to a blank 3x3 foot white canvas. He grabbed a two inch brush, dipped in cadmium red, and wrote the words “BIG IS GOOD” on the canvas. With that being his only submission for the scholarship, he received four free years to Parsons School of Visual Design (one of, if not, the best art college in the tri-state area). For this reason, and this reason only, I have no doubt that the winner of Project Runway (Wed. 10:00 EST on Bravo) will be Santino. Oops, Cloe... I mean, Cloe. Did you see those big shouldered dresses? After all, big is good.
