“ We are brought up in the ethic that others, any others, all others, are by definition more interesting than ourselves; taught to be diffident, just this side of self-effacing. (“You’re the least important person in the room and don’t forget it,” Jessica Mitford’s governess would hiss in her ear on the advent of any social occasion; I copied that into my notebook because it is only recently that I have been able to enter a room without hearing some such phrase in my inner ear.) Joan Didion, On Keeping A Notebook

phone call from my mom

Mom: I'm about to watch the last episode of season 5 LOST! The last two episodes really answered a lot of questions for me.
Me: Oh good to hear. Now you will be all ready for Tuesday. I'm going to a LOST party!
Mom: Did you say you're going to a LOST party? I'm having a LOST party!
Me: You are?!
Mom: Yeah! With myself!
she's a loner, a rebel.

I was just home for a couple days in CT. All my mom wanted to do was talk about LOST. She is extremely exasperated by the fact that people keep following and trusting Ben. She went on for about 15 minutes about it. Last year she left for India right before season 5 started and had to wait for it to be available on DVD before she could watch it. Today she explained to me her well-planned viewing schedule so she can be finished with the season before Tuesday.

Two years ago I gave her the Season 1 box set, not thinking she would like it very much. She finished it in two weeks. On Tuesdays she used to wake up at 5am so she could watch an episode before her 6am yoga class. She joined Netflix just to be able to watch seasons 2, 3, and 4.

I created a monster!!!!!!! (Not to be confused with the smoke monster from LOST)

The highlight of our LOST conversations was when she exclaimed “I have a really bad feeling about this season. I don’t even know if I’m gonna watch it. I’m not sure I can take the stress!!”

Also, I think she is in love with Sawyer.
