Today's horoscope:

Quickie: Learn something from a rival. Appropriate their methods and seize their territory.

YAR!

Overview: Still have a case of unquenchable curiosity? Well, do some digging. Find the person with the answers, and ask your questions -- penetrating, deep ones. Don't stop until you have exactly what you were after.

Am I asking these deep, penetrating questions of the "tall, dark and gorgeous" stranger who was supposed to get my number the other week? Is this the same poor guy I'm supposed to charm into having dinner with me, "devil" that I am? Will my horoscope ever stop trying to pimp me out? Tune in tomorrow...

It's your time to relax -- and not a moment too soon. You still can't control yourself when it comes to asking questions, and you've still got a lot of questions, especially pertaining to one particular person. Be extra cautious about who you ask for information. Jealousy and resentment could easily be introduced into the mix, and who needs that when you're just getting started?

Wait, I thought I was supposed to ask deep, penetrating questions, all night long until the break of dawn. WHY DO YOU SPIN ME ROUND, HOROSCOPE, LIKE A RECORD, BABY, ROUND ROUND?



Quick Lost bits:

jedilora is our Lost icon fairy.

Cousin of Cruise has an interesting theory on who Ethan really is--a theory that goes against pretty much everything we're currently assuming. (Spoilers, clearly.)



I am so tired. Horoscope of Irony is definitely right about that. Y'all are gonna smack me--I sat up last night and tried to finish Attack of the Clones, despite it being my theoretical day off. I got a good ten pages added, but now it looks like it needs trimming--I was told that Titanic is probably too long. Woe. I was going to just sit up until it was done, but some time around 1 am I felt like I'd hit my wall for the night, and my head was starting to hurt again, so I called it a night. And now I'm super-tired all over again. I may have class today, I don't know--I basically have to go to the room and see if it's been canceled or not. Somehow, I just don't feel up to it, so going would sort of be a gamble on the hope that it'll have been canceled, but... I don't know that I can afford to miss it if it's not. Again: Woe.

In regards to the icon fairy:

Second comment!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I got your email, btw--I'm just still trying to think what to do, you know?

[pjrampolla.livejournal.com]

I always feel so much better reading about your life, because even though you are doing something really cool, it also seems very stressful, and that makes me feel like I'm getting off relatively easy.

Also, I am wavering between cracking and reading the theory, or waiting until I've actually seen the episode.....

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

That may be my new favorite Ethan theory. Oh, yes.

[wtfbrain.livejournal.com]

I like it, too, only how does killing Scott & threatening to kill one of the others every day until they give Claire back fit into being the good guy?

[bibliotech.livejournal.com]

IAWTC. Holy omg.

[pygmymetal.livejournal.com]

Holy Mother of Pearl, he *IS* Cruise's cousin! I thought that was just one big joke!!!!

That Sawyer song is stuck in my brain! *moans*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heh. No, he really is!

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

I was told that Titanic is probably too long. Woe.

Can't you just cut out about five dozen of the "Jack! Rose!"s? Ooh, or change the font! And the margins! And change it to 1.5 spacing! They'll never know.

Wahh for British tv channels being a bitch, and having to wait until JULY to see Lost properly.

Interesting theory though...there's just something not quite right about Ethan, and not just in a homicidal manic type way. Other man indeed.

[somewhatmoot.livejournal.com]

I pretty much agree with CoC. Although I'm still not sure on how...er, n/m. I was going to type something a bit spoilerish.

I'm betting Ethan is really Ricardo Montalban in disguise. But wait! That was *another* 'Fantasy Island (http://www.ricardo-montalban-fantasy-island.surftiki.com/)'. With bullet-proof jacket.

Ir re: article. Frankly, I'd be mad as hell at being referred to as 'the hobbit' all the time. Geebus.

Yarha, The Rain in 'splain Falls Mainly on Da Plane!

God yes.

I'm just waiting for one of the actors to snap and say '!@#^&**)! I'm not a fucking hobbit! Quit calling me that'!

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

But wait. How does the fact that the name Ethan means "gift of the island" suggest that Ethan is really a good guy, protecting Claire? Just because he's a "gift" doesn't mean anything, if you ask me. Haven't they been talking all along about how weird, and, one might say, bad the island is? The bit about the name being an anagram for "other man" is interesting, but... I'm not really following the logic.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You ever heard that joke about the guy who asks the actor playing the gravedigger what Hamlet's about, and the actor says, "Well, it's about a gravedigger..."? I'm thinking it's kind of like that.

**stares at article**
Kentucky woods?!
**in Kentucky and now seriously freaked out**

[methodicmadness.livejournal.com]

Wait, so Ethan/Mapother really IS the 'Cousin of Cruise'? And here I thought someone just dubbed him that based on a resemblance that I just wasn't seeing...

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

No, no, he really is. Mapother is either Cruise's real last or middle name. I thought I saw a strongish resemblance in the first Ethan episode, when he was acting all normal and cheerful and stuff, but... yeah. When he's all scary... no.

[frozen-regret.livejournal.com]

Can anyone tell me where I can get a bunch of screencaps for the Lost episodes? Cause I'd love to make icons.

Thanks <33

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

www.lost-media.com has everything you need. : )

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Oh I forgot:

Homecoming Icons (http://photobucket.com/albums/v600/foresthouse/)

In case anyone's interested.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Your icon made me snort.

Completely unrelated comment...

[shesnotallthere.livejournal.com]

Just saw this, and thought some of y'all might get a giggle out of it.

That is such a weird theory, but now that I think of it, it really makes a ton of sense. Weird.

I find it quite ironic that your 15 minute version of Titanic is considered too long. Just like the movie! If they'd cut out all the crap at the start and just begun it when the ship started to sink, they would have had one fantastic movie on their hands.

*clings fanatically to A Night to Remember*

Does this mean you're going to have to cut the "Jack! Rose!" back to only six pages now? :D

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You laugh, but the "Jack! Rose!" reps are gonna be the first bits to feel the squeeze. Which is a pity, because I had a great time with that. Also, when Rose is in the lifeboat, I do this whole "They look at her. She looks at them. They look at her. She looks at them" thing for like, a whole paragraph. Ah, well. It made me laugh.

(Maybe I should offer Titanic in 15 Minutes: The Parodist's Cut As You Were Meant to See It to buyers of the book.)

[edda.livejournal.com]

Go lie down, you silly woman! Rest!

Also? I'd argue about the length. It's a long-ass movie, and you wrote a funny piece, not some draggy, boring crap. I know you like these people, but argue anyway.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, this is without the actual editor's input (editor? I guess Simon is the editor. I think of him as being higher up the food chain, but I haven't run into anyone else I'm supposed to work with, so...). Ginger just *figures* that he'll want a trim. So maybe not. I could still try, anyway. And release the full version six months later as "The Uncut Version You Were MEANT To See!"
