Modest Mouse - Paper Thin Walls

Oh man, old Modest Mouse songs always seem autobiographical and Pandora always seems to play them at just the right moment.

My new favorite song to play on the guitar

Zebra by Beach House

I love this song, it’s so beautiful and calming. I like to put it on after a long stressful day.

Wow.  I just fell in love with ground cumin.  I don’t want to make chicken any other way for a very, very long time.  NEW OBSESSION.

Recipe found here.

I’ve been meaning to find something to use cumin in. This looks pretty good and I already have most of the ingredients.

So you guys, apparently being able to throw water on someone because they don’t believe in your religion of choice is a First Amendment right, but simply speaking about your beliefs in a classroom is not a right and in fact should be a punishable offense.

So lemme get this straight, when a Christian high school teacher talks about his/her beliefs in class and an athiest teacher throws a bucket of water on this person and laughs, the Tea Party people are totally going to be on the side of the athiest, amiright?

Dear non-Losties, sorry for all the Lost spam in the last few days. Finale madness and all…this is the last one, really.

But it’s super important! Supposedly one of the writers posted this explanation. I think it’s the real deal. Definitely makes a lot more sense now.

“The Island:

It was real. Everything that happened on the island that we saw throughout the 6 seasons was real. Forget the final image of the plane crash, it was put in purposely to f*&k with people’s heads and show how far the show had come. They really crashed. They really survived. They really discovered Dharma and the Others. The Island keeps the balance of good and evil in the world. It always has and always will perform that role. And the Island will always need a “Protector”. Jacob wasn’t the first, Hurley won’t be the last. However, Jacob had to deal with a malevolent force (MIB) that his mother, nor Hurley had to deal with. He created the devil and had to find a way to kill him — even though the rules prevented him from actually doing so.

Thus began Jacob’s plan to bring candidates to the Island to do the one thing he couldn’t do. Kill the MIB. He had a huge list of candidates that spanned generations. Yet everytime he brought people there, the MIB corrupted them and caused them to kill one another. That was until Richard came along and helped Jacob understand that if he didn’t take a more active role, then his plan would never work.

Enter Dharma — which I’m not sure why John is having such a hard time grasping. Dharma, like the countless scores of people that were brought to the island before, were brought there by Jacob as part of his plan to kill the MIB. However, the MIB was aware of this plan and interferred by “corrupting” Ben. Making Ben believe he was doing the work of Jacob when in reality he was doing the work of the MIB. This carried over into all of Ben’s “off-island” activities. He was the leader. He spoke for Jacob as far as they were concerned. So the “Others” killed Dharma and later were actively trying to kill Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley and all the candidates because that’s what the MIB wanted. And what he couldn’t do for himself.

Dharma was originally brought in to be good. But was turned bad by MIB’s corruption and eventually destroyed by his pawn Ben. Now, was Dharma only brought there to help Jack and the other Canditates on their overall quest to kill Smokey? Or did Jacob have another list of Canidates from the Dharma group that we were never aware of? That’s a question that is purposley not answered because whatever answer the writers came up with would be worse than the one you come up with for yourself. Still … Dharma’s purpose is not “pointless” or even vague. Hell, it’s pretty blantent.

Still, despite his grand plan, Jacob wanted to give his “candidates” (our Lostaways) the one thing he, nor his brother, were ever afforded: free will. Hence him bringing a host of “candidates” through the decades and letting them “choose” which one would actually do the job in the end. Maybe he knew Jack would be the one to kill Flocke and that Hurley would be the protector in the end. Maybe he didn’t. But that was always the key question of the show: Fate vs Free-will. Science vs Faith. Personally I think Jacob knew from the beginning what was going to happen and that everyone played a part over 6 seasons in helping Jack get to the point where he needed to be to kill Smokey and make Hurley the protector — I know that’s how a lot of the writers viewed it. But again, they won’t answer that (nor should they) because that ruins the fun.

In the end, Jack got to do what he always wanted to do from the very first episode of the show: Save his fellow Lostaways. He got Kate and Sawyer off the island and he gave Hurley the purpose in life he’d always been missing. And, in Sideways world (which we’ll get to next) he in fact saved everyone by helping them all move on …

Now…

Sideways World …” (clickthrough for the rest)

Wow. This is enlightening. Read this to understand.

Bacon, Egg, and Toast Cups

Ingredients:

6 slices of bacon
6 slices of bread
Shredded cheese
6 eggs
Salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400° F.  Grease 6 wells of a muffin pan with butter.  In a frying pan, cook bacon about 3-5 minutes, until partially cooked but not completely crispy.  Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.  Cut out rounds of bread (I used a 3.5-inch round cookie cutter, but a drinking glass would be fine.)  Press the bread rounds into the greased muffin wells.  Curl a piece of bacon around the periphery of each piece of bread, positioning it between the bread and the muffin tin to help keep it in position.  Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese in the center of each piece of bread.  One at a time, crack an egg, removing about half of the white, and dropping the remaining white and yolk over each piece of bread, being careful not to break the yolks.  Once all the bread pieces have been topped with eggs, bake until eggs are cooked through to your liking (about 6-10 minutes) and bacon is crispy.  Run a knife around the edge of each muffin well and pop the egg cups out.  Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

I’m usually not a fan of pork, but I have to break out the bacon every once in a blue moon. And this looks like the perfect way to do it! I never would have thought to make little toast cups like this, it’s giving me all kinds of tasty ideas now.
