A Couple of Found Things
I also found this “vampire” article from Oprah.com (yikes, I know) through CNN.com, and it seemed to compliment (or would it be complement, Nina?) my “Girl Talk” post.
Enjoy friends, and I’m guessing that no one really wants to hear my emerging theory of how LOST’s Desmond is, in fact, a Christ figure.
(Little Gwennie actually made this connection when she saw, in a children’s Easter book, a picture of Jesus coming out of the tomb. She said, “Mommy, Jesus came out of the tomb like Desmond came out of the hatch.” First of all…mother. of. year. for letting my four-year-old watch LOST. Second, the lit nerd in me is already textually analyzing LOST and building a mental outline of the similarities between the Desmond/hatch and Jesus/tomb stories. I may even develop a LOST theory based on my findings)
So, because I don’t want to lose my six or so readers, I’ll be back when I write something you’ll want to read.
(UPDATE: Desmond, aka Henry Ian Cusick, WAS Jesus in The Gospel of John the Baptist ! Thanks Anonymous Blue Girl friend!)
Holy CRAP I was going to send you that article!!!! Except your littlest nephew had other ideas about what i should be doing with the computer. God do I love Gwennie. She is frickin BRILLIANT. I love this post! Curse upon any of the other five of us who say otherwise!
I wandered over here from Blue Girl and just had to note that the actor who plays Desmond was in the movie “The Gospel of John” as Jesus.
Yes, she is brilliant, and I hope Turnip’s plans for the computer didn’t involve any orifices (yours or his). Anonymous, I just went to the IMDB and found Henry Ian Cusick as Jesus. I so love an distracting obsession.
You did it! …How did you do it?
You still write on here! Thanks
Know that feeling all too well!
You write very true and vivid!
