We start out with Mr. Awesome: Jack Bauer in front of a bunch of loser Senators getting raked over the coal for torturing some terrorists. Whateves.
Then, Ms. Stunningly Gorgeous FBI Agent busts up the Senate hearings with a handy little subpoena to get Jack to help them find his long dead-come-back-to-life-gone-rogue-BFF Tony.
Jack is all, "Whatever. Tony is dead and I'm busy getting ready to go to prison." But, agrees to help because *if* Tony is alive he must clear his name. Jack is cool like that.
Jack finds out where Tony is by offering the bad guy tea and cookies, listening to his reasons for doing bad and then appealing to the loser's innate goodness.
Oh wait, that never works.
Jack almost carved his eyeball out with a bic pen. Booyah.
So as dude starts telling that Tony is alive and just what he knows, he is shot by a sniper from the rooftop.
Bummer, those bad guys are good.
Jack finds Tony, almost breaks his neck because Tony brought up Teri and Audrey ( NO HE DIHN'T )
and then Tony tells him to call Bill Buchanan.
WOOT! Bill is back. Bill is all, "Bust Tony out of the FBI headquarters Jack, I'll be there in 15 minutes."
Awkward, lovable Chloe returns. She said all the goofy things I would've. Love her.
And she hacked the FBI computers and helped Tony & Jack escape.
OH, and there is no CTU anymore. This is all in DC.
In true, unbelievable, over-the-top testosterone fueled awesomeness- Jack drove a car off the parking garage with his forehead so he could meet up with Tony & Bill in the van.
Realism? We don't need no stinkin' realism.
Then Jack infiltrates the bad-guys posse with Tony and they are on a mission to go capture the good leader of Sangala for the bad dude. I forgot bad dude's name. Joomah I think.
Because the whole thing is happening because President Allison (great name) Taylor is about to send troops to stop the genocide in Sengala. The bad guys are threatening to use a switch that broke thru the gov't firewalls to kill thousands of Americans if we send troops in.
Other stuff you should know-
The gov't is full of people working for the bad guy.
President Taylor's hubby is learning how dirty everyone is.
Tonight should be really good.
You can watch all the episodes from last week here. Now hurry and watch so we can watch tonight!
Love, Alli
Oprah did a whole show devoted to Fighting the Frump with Fussy makeovers. Here is a little snippet-
"Do you run errands in your pajamas? Are your husband's sweats a staple in your wardrobe? If the answer is yes, you may be a shlumpadinka. Though this word isn't in Webster's Dictionary—yet—Oprah says she knows a shlumpadinka when she sees one. "I made this word up a long time ago," she says. "It represents, for me, a woman who dresses like she has completely given up…and it shows."
Whatevah, as The Tempered Woman said, "It's Frumpadinka not Schlumpadinka!"
Here is an example of her magic non-schlumpadinka-frumpy makeover. This woman is breaking all the Fight The Frump Mandates.
Oprah's Fight the Frump Expert Guest Stylist did a totally Fussy approved makeover. Except for that bag. I would never approve that bag. Ack!
Does this remind you of Fussy's Supa-Fab Advice?
My beloved trousers slacks pants & a cute jacket.
They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. I guess we'll continue to let Oprah play along. Seriously, Oprah, next time at least throw us some linky love, Sheesh!
My love to all my Fabulous Frump Fighters (and you too, Oprah),
Fussy
My homeboy, Dr. Mehmet Oz and his amazing eyebrows, were back on Oprah to teach us how to stop poisoning ourselves.
The show started with two supa-unhealthy people. They followed Dr.Ozzie's instructions on how to stop killing themselves get healthy. Voila, now they are healthier and happier. ~Yawn~ It wasn't exactly titillating, hence the lack of photos for ya'.
The good part was when he gave great tips that we can do immediately to stop killing ourselves! Excited? Good, because this was a good episode after all.
Take Your Shoes Off Inside!
Mothers of the world- pump your fists in the air! Whoop, Whoop! Let's do an 'I told you so' dance.
I always worried about dog poop in the house, but apparently all the toxic lawn care products are even worse. Yikes! Ozzie said that the chemicals get trapped in our carpet. Babies will ingest them, and they become airborne when we walk over them. Dog poop- OK. ChemLawn- Not so much.
Never Heat &/or Microwave In Plastic-
Oh, Sweet Redemption, I've been annoying people informing the masses forever. Plastic wrap over food and heating plastic containers releases chemicals. These plasticizers and PBas are endocrine disruptors. They mimic Estrogen in our bodies.
Only nuke your food in glass! Use a plate to cover the top. Melty plastic wrap that touches your hot food? Yikes, you are just begging for breast cancer. Stop it, now! California just passed a law banning toxic plastics in children's products. Good Job! Hopefully, more will be done to stand up for our health.
Have y'all read my post about plastics? "Exposure in even small amounts (plastic) has been linked in some studies to early puberty in girls, genital defects and reduced testosterone production in boys and impaired sperm quality in men, although the chemical industry disputes the strength of the studies.
Under the new law, any product made for young children that contains more than one-tenth of 1% of phthalates (pronounced "THA-lates") cannot be made, sold or distributed in California beginning in 2009."
Clean Without Poisoning Yourself-
Most cleaning products are full of toxic chemicals that build up in our homes and cause serious damage to our health. Have you seen commercials for Clorox Spray Disinfectant? We are lead to believe spraying that chemical gumbo on our kid's highchair and toys is a good idea? Not only do the chemicals we clean with build up on hard surfaces, but they become airborne.
Dr. Oz also mentioned how it is the teeny tiny airborne particles that do the most damage. Our homes are built airtight and these toxins just build up in the air we breath! We should open up our windows for a bit everyday to release the chemicals and particles we are breathing.
I have found White Vinegar works on my hardwood floors. I also love rubbing alcohol to clean with. Toxic? Don't drink it, but the inhalation of a bit of alcohol fumes aren't carcinogens like you have in household cleaners. Unless you are sniffing it in a closet, you should be OK. If you have been sniffing it in a closet, you have worse issues, go get some help.
Check Your Basement.
Do the smell check. If it smells, then you probably have mold. Toxic mold is some nasty stuff. Go buy a dehumidifier and keep it going.
Also, keeping cans of paint, varnishes, et cetera- are supa-dangerous. If flammability doesn't give you pause, the fact that, even when closed, the toxins leak out into the air- should scare your pants off! If you keep them, then store them in a well-ventilated area, like your garage. Now, go put your pants back on. Yes, you too!
Dry Cleaning Doesn't Have To Kill You-
Normal dry cleaning solvent is a carcinogen. Bring it in your home, hanging it in the closet, and then taking the bags off is the worst thing to do. The out-gassing release of the chemical solvents will just build up in your supa-energy efficient home. Then we breathe in the chemicals for 6 8 hours every night!
I found a "Natural" Nontoxic chemical using cleaner for hubby's shirts. It is no more expensive and he can't tell a difference. Trust me, if it were any different, Mr. Smartypants would know. A quick peek in the yellow pages should show who goes "green" when dry cleaning.
Because I'm avoiding laundry duty of my high journalistic standards, I wanted to show y'all what I discovered in my fridge....
Unsafe plastics-
#3- PVC
#6-PS
#7-Polycarbonate
Look for-
#1-PETE
#2-HDPE
#4-LDPE
#5-PP
Love to all y'all,
Fussy
Episode 8- Meet Kevin Johnson.
It should've been called, "Thank goodness the writer's strike is over and this isn't the last show, because the fans would've needed grief counseling."
We start off remembering what a complete waste of skin Michael is. How he betrayed the Losties and then killed Libby and Ana Lucia. And who can forget how he handed his friends over to the others.
Sayid decides to corner Michael and find out what the heck is going on.
Then we see Michael back home in New York, he keeps trying to kill himself and Walt hates him. He is trying to end it all in an alley with a gun and our old buddy Mr. Friendly shows up.
Tom explains that the island won't let him kill himself and "they" have a job for him. Maybe through the new job he can redeem himself. He goes to visit Tom in his penthouse.
We meet Tom's weekend boyfriend. I guess that's what Tom meant when he told Kate, "You are not my type."
Tom tells Michael that Penny's Dad, Chaz Widmore, is the one who dumped a fake plane in the ocean and had corpses dug up in the Philippines to stage the wreckage. He showed Michael invoices and pictures. I'm still not sure if I believe that story.
When Michael boards the ship in Fiji he learns this is not a rescue for sure and he is prepared to blow up the freighter before they can find the island.
A Lostie fanatic noticed that Michael's passport & Ben's have all the same numbers. Man, that is some Lost devotion.
Michael detonated the bomb that Tom sent him. He is ready to save his friends. Instead of a boom, a little note pops up. After that he gets a call from Ben, he wants the names and profiles of everyone on the boat.
He says he isn't killing them because some could be innocents, and he is a good guy. Captain Creepypants gets creepier all the time. Weren't the first others that he gasses innocents? Sheesh.
At Ben's suggestion Danielle takes Alex and Karl away from the barracks to protect her. The bad guys will want Alex as leverage.
Karl and Danielle get shot by who knows who.
Stop making me cry, evil Lost overloads!
Finally, back at the good ship Widmore, Sayid now knows that Michael is working for Ben. Sayid marches him into Captain Cutiepant's cabin and tells him everything.
I was not expecting that to happen! Not sure if I think that was the best idea or not. ~shrugs~
Whoopsie, I must've forgotten to write on this picture. Oh well, it's 6:30 and I'm tired, just imagine lots of unnecessary words and arbitrary doodles.
Okay, Lostie Friends of Fussy, that's it until April 24. Our only confort is that it will come back! Remember, here's the good recap! I'm off to go read it too and see all the stuff I should've mentioned in my recap.
Love, Fussy
"Ji Yeon"
We start this week with The crazy helicopter pilot leaving to go on an errand. Where's he goin' -Target? Must be the island. Looking for Ben's barracks maybe.
Sun & Jin are discussing baby names. Then a flash forward to her going into labor. The flash forward is mixed with a flashback of Jin. The writers had the viewers thinking Jin was rushing to see Sun. I'm not even putting any pictures of all that up. I was highly annoyed.
We see Sun and her new daughter. All I could think of was 'clean that baby up. Get a wet-nap, for pete's sake!
A doctor handed me one of the boys all messy once. I was like, "Oh great, my baby. Could ya do somethin' with all the goop?" Wait, this isn't about me.
Back on the Island, Sun asks Faraday if he is there to rescue them. Finally, someone does something! Faraday is all vague and basically says, "Not our top priority."
Sun tells Jin that she doesn't trust them and they need to go to Locke's camp. Juliet insists sun will die if she doesn't get off the island. She tells Jin the secret Sun shared with her. I my other shoe at the TV screen!
Oh Yeah, Baby, That's what Fussy's talkin' about!
Jin goes fishing with ol' whats-his-name. He tells them that they are the 'good' guys. They have 'karma' on their side. He also called Locke a murderer. Sheesh, that's a wee-bit harsh. Remember the ghost of Walt told him to kill Naomi?
Sun & Jin reunite. I officially ~heart~ Jin!
Back on the crazy boat, the crew are having a problem with cabin fever. Some chick named Regina bites the dust.
Hey, is that the island in the background? Three hours away? Hmmmm...
Sayid & Desmond get a note slipped under the door, "Don't Trust Captain!"
When they finally meet Capt'n Cutiepants, he seems forthcoming. He tells them it is Widmore's boat. He knows who Desmond is.
He pulls out Oceanic 815's Black Box! He tells them that the wreckage discovery was a fake! 324 dead bodies, all staged. He thinks Ben did it. The original Capt'n Creepypants.
So do we believe the Captain is a good guy or bad? What do you think?
As they are escorted to their new digs, they notice a nasty splatter of blood on the wall. Obviously from a gun to the head. The weird doctor who escorted them called the janitor, Johnson, over to clean it up.
Michaelpalooza! He is introduced as Kevin Johnson. Sayid plays along. I don't think Desmond ever met him.
Michael annoys me, always has. That is why I gave him diamond earrings in the picture.
Finally, Hurley comes to visit Sun. They go see 'him'.
Ack, it's Jin's tombstone. The date of death is the date of the plane crash.
He must still be on the island. Maybe for some reason he had to stay. I hope.
Sun tells him how much she misses him, how the birth went and how she named the baby "Ji Yeon".
Argh, the pregnant hormones again. ~sniffles~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So there ya' go, another really bad, really late installment of Lost.
Here is a good one! Also, this week's awesome screenshots are from here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a cute pic from the Lostie Forum.
Friends of Fussy, share your Lost thoughts. What happened to the six? Why were so many left behind? Why the cover-up? Did Ben stage the wreckage? Is the Capt'n good or bad? Does Widmore just want to exploit the island?
"The Other Woman"
We start off with Locke and Ben. Ben is trying to trick Locke with his super powers of creep.
We learn that back in Juliet's 'Other' days, she was having an affair with her evil therapist's hubby, Goodwin. Remember him? He snuck over with the tail end others until Ana-Lucia found him out and put a stake in his chest.
Man, Ana-Lucia was hard core. No, I don't miss her.
It was tough to get good pictures this week. Hey, I don't call this a bad recap for nothing! In this picture we learn Ben was totally in love with Juliet. All while she's all lovin' on Goodwin. That's why Goodwin got sent to spy on the other others, um, I mean the good guys, um, you know, Ana-Lucia's crew.
We may have learned this week that the black smoke monster thing could make people/images appear out of nowhere. Ok, I could be totally off, but whatever.
Creepy, cold ex-therapist Harper appeared to Juliet and kinda freaked me out. She told Juliet that Ben was 'right where he wanted to be' and she had to go stop Faraday and Charlotte from going to the Tempest. The Tempest is the power center for the island. She said Juliet needed to kill them before they gassed everyone.
For a doctor and an anthropologist, these gals really threw it down while Faraday dismantled to gas gauge. Then Juliet realizes the two aren't going to blow up the world and all is better.
Then Jack & Kate arrive. Juliet tells Jack that Ben will win in the end and he should stay far away. 'Ben thinks I am his!' she tells Jack. Jack gets all brave and says "He knows where to find me." I swooned. Oh, wait , this isn't about me....
Then I started think about Juliet...Wasn't she just in lust love with Goodwin two months ago? Sheesh, slow it down honey.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, Ben gets out of the dungeon and starts tells Locke who is on the freighter. He has recorded over the Red Sox (Go Sox!) video with footage from the boat.
On the video, you see an unfamiliar 'other' blindfolded and getting kicked around by Penny's dad!
Mr. Creepypants said he didn't know why Widmore wants the island so much. Remember when we see Desmond find Widmore at the auction and he buys the Legend of the Black Rock book?
Ben tells Locke who is his man on the boat. No, we don't know yet. Now Ben gets to live in the village, and not the basement.
Sawyer & Hurley are playing horseshoes and they see Ben and almost faint. Ben says, "See you at dinner." Great scene!
Now, back to Desmond. I adore Desmond. He's just a poor guy with some serious relationship issues! When he called Penny last week I cried. Ok, I cry alot, but if you were this pregnant, so would you.
Are we to believe Desmond just happened to land on the island that Widmore is obsessed with by accident? And Ben, his nemesis's daughter's boyfriend is stuck in a hatch, typing numbers and saving the world for three years, and he never wanted to talk to him?
Anyhoo, add that to the list of questions, Brutha.
Also, here is an upside down picture of the Lost graphics this season. See how the reflection in the water is a skyline? Can anyone figure out which skyline this is? Looks like Sydney to me. Which is logical, considering Oceanic 815 left from there.
This concludes another really bad Lost recap. Here is a really good one! ;)
Love, Fussy
Last week I was completely heartbroken over Sayid apparently working for Ben in the flashforward. ~sighs~ I couldn't even mention it. Now that I have had time to obsess worry think about it I am not as depressed. Sayid must be doing this to protect his island peeps. The bad guys must be the same people who are on the freighter. But then again I've never figured anything out in the past, so why start now?
Kate wanted to know what Miles knew about her. She realizes going home means going to jail. Miles says only if he can have one minute with Ben.
When he sees Ben, he says he'll lie and say Ben is dead if he gives him 3.2 million. Ben says what I am thinking, "Why 3.2 million?" Seriously, Miles, that's kinda random.
My hatred for Miles grows with every episode. I like him less than I like Mr. Creepypants!
Hee, hee. Who's all powerful now, Mr. Ghostbuster.
Locke showed him who was boss.
~~~
Kate was concerned that she was preggers. When she told my ex-honey Sawyer that she wasn't and he was all relieved. Relieved in a jerk kinda way. Sawyer is seriously lacking in some interpersonal skills. Now I'm back on Jack's side. Kate, Go back to Jack!
Sawyer said to her that in a week she'll get mad at Jack and come back to him. She smacked him and left. Long dramatic pauses on TV where the characters stare at eachother silently and then one person stomps off is highly annoying.
Kate looks beautiful on the flash-forward. She's on trial and the paparazzi are going crazy! Not only is she one of the Oceanic 6, but she's an accused criminal.
Jack testifies on her behalf as a character witness. How she saved everyone (the 6) after the crash and tried to save the 2 others who died. I can't even imagine why there is that story when they get home. ~shrugs~
Jack wants to see her after see is released. But he doesn't want to see her son. I assume it is because it is Sawyer's son and she is raising him alone. I am bummed by this. I throw a large plastic lizard at the screen.
Kate goes home to her big cushy house (thank you Oceanic Airlines) and her nanny is there with her son. Kate looks at him sleeping and gets teary.
He says, "Mummy!" Kate calls him Aaron!
Ok, Friends of Fussy, now tell me all the stuff I missed. Y'all always are full of Lostie knowledge!
Love, Fussy
Fussy Watches Oprah So You Don't Have To!
Y'all know I get all excited everytime Dr. Oz visits my show Oprah. I am guaranteed to learn something new and get some supa-fab bloggy inspiration. This show was packed full of future bloggy goodness. Today let's learn about the man I like to affectionately call -The Blue Dude.
Blue dude is blue. He'll always be blue. He accidentally turned himself blue. He's actually a super nice blue dude. His whole story is here.
He started drinking lots of Colloidal Silver and using it on his skin for a rash. Dr. Oz explained it all but I was trying to eat my Banana Nut Crunch cereal (supa-yum) and got a little queasy. Bleech.
The gist of it is if you drink the silver solution (which has been used as an effective treatment for ages) you will turn and stay blue.
Now we know the secret of the Smurfs!
Because Blue Dude is such a nice guy, and is now stuck being blue forever, I would love to suggest a new career path.
I give you the new and improved Blue Man Dude Group!
Love, Fussy
~Need more Oprah, Dr. Oz & Fussy episodes?~
The one with Tiddley the friendly intestinal tapeworm.
Fussy & Dr. Oz say get healthy or die.
