Greetings from the frozen tundra...


Ok, well it's not actually that cold here. But in true chicago fashion I walked out of my apartment this morning, zipping up my winter coat, and passed a bunch of kids all bundled up in their snow suits... Isn't it almost June??

Anyways, I've never posted on the blog so I just wanted to say hello to you guys (and prove to Chad that I do in fact keep up on the posts!). I was planning on coming to visit for Comfest this year... but some family stuff came up so I have to head to California for a bit instead. I'm sad to miss it though!

I hope you all are well. I think about you often and hope some time soon we can all be hanging out together!

Much love!

Lucy has to wonder...

Are girls of a certain age getting Carrie-d away? In honor of next week's Sex and the City movie premiere (and my newest toy), Lucy thought she try her paws at starting her own sex advice column. Unfortunately for her, she's never had sex, nor really a romantic relationship. Undaunted, she has decided to soldier on and answer any questions based on her other life experiences (which include mainly eating and sleeping).

Little Liv's Bday Song

Hey gentlemen.

It was so great to see you all this weekend. I've missed you all a lot these last few weeks! Wanted to send this spiffy bday video that Scootking and I made recently for our gay friends' little girl, whose name is also Liv. It was our family tribute to her and we hope you like it. You can pretend your name is Livy and it is for you.

If you are a fan of LOST....

Hi friends (note that you can skip this entry if you aren't a fan of the tv show LOST). I have been visiting my folks in Hawaii the past two weeks. They are cute. They've been super supportive and wonderful while I've been here. I'm getting antsy and need to get back to my own life...but it has been good to be here.
I decided to go on a self-guided tour of some LOST filming sites. Here is what I was able to find:


1. The set with the camp the survivors built on the beach. The camp is set up on a beach on the north shore of the island that is difficult to get to if you aren't a local. A lot of the set was wrapped in plastic, but very recognizable from the show. I walked around a bit before a security guard found me and kicked me out.








2. This is Dillingham airfiled, where they filmed the scene with Ecko and his brother and the plane with the drugs taking off (where they shot his brother).








3. The church that Ecko and Charlie were building before Ecko died. This is also where they built the graves for Boone and Shannon and Ana Lucia.
4. This is the beach where the survivors spend a lot of their time in season 2-4 (the camp with thier tents is adjacent to this beach). It is called "police beach" in real life.
5. This is the beach from Season 1 where the crash occurred (where all the debris from the oceanic flight was strewn). The beach is located on a really secluded part of the island. You won't find any tourists here. It is known here as mokuleia beach.











6. The camp of the "others" where Ben, Juliette, live (also where they filmed a few scenes in season 4 where the military guys blew up the house, etc.). I went to summer camp here in elementary school. Fond memories of being nicknamaed "chubbles" here by my classmates.
