We resisted as long as we could, but Jesse and I are now addicted to Lost.
My mom came to visit and brought episodes of Lost on DVD for us to watch. We've only finished the first season so far, but we love it. We would have finished more of it if my mom hadn't brought […]

Heard in the office today:
"How are you today?"
"Super!"
"Oh, good!"
"I was going to say 'superfluous'…"
