ebonlockHey, I remembered to watch Lost last night, go me!
I have dubbed this episode "I CUT YOU!", did Locke's knife collection make anyone else drool or was it just me? That man had some serious blades...hmm, wonder how long it'll be before they taste the sweet tang of man flesh. Not very I imagine. At any rate if you want a real blow by blow on the ep, go read![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cleolinda's fabulous summary, which includes this tasty bit:
And then this total weasel office manager steps in, and he's like half Locke's age, and he starts going all Office Space on Locke, and I immediately want Creepy O'Scar to slit his throat with a letter opener and slow-roast him over a file-folder bonfire in the copy room. Ass.
I have to say that for the first time in a long time I didn't see the surprise coming, I almost feel...dare I say it...hopeful about this show. Sure most of the time it's as predictable as the sunrise, but this time I overlooked all the clues. They were all there, I mean the damn wheelchair has been in every episode, and the bit with Locke checking out his shoes after the boar attack. D'oh! And of course he's shown seated in all of his flashbacks. Yeah, ok, it seems obvious now but damn I missed it. Good for the writers, I hope they can pull off a few more of those gotchas before the end of the season.
And I have decided that as much as I like the term "Snicker Bitch", she needs an upgrade this episode to "Snicker Ho", and she and her brother I now dub the Ego-Centric Twins. I could tolerate the stupidity, the constant bitching, etc., etc., but when she used Charlie just to try to score a point on her brother, that was going way too far. Charlie is too sensitive for this shit, goddammit, and that Smackfarthing isn't going to last forever.
I'm now wondering how long it'll be before Locke decides to become high priest of the invisible island monster (who seems to be his new best friend), possibly painting himself with natural pigments and running around dressed only in the skins of boar piglets. I also think Alpha Male (Jack) lost serious points this week when he wanted to burn the bodies without any kind of memorial service. If this was Survivor I bet he'd have been voted off. Sayeed also seems to be thirsting for a leadership role but doesn't have a solid base yet, I expect trouble there too.
But who will Island Hottie (Kate) end up with? Will they have to fight for her affections? Bet she'd like that. She's got the odds in her favor on this island, a very nice male/female ratio going on. I have this wild dream that she breaks off with the Korean chick and the other ladies and forms a mini amazon nation, occasionally capturing males from the population and ordering them to be washed and brought to her tent. Dude, if they did this I'd have a new favorite show.
Favorite scene, Charlie and Hurley cavorting in the waves trying to catch a fish. Aww. Wet Dom...
Got some cleaning and laundry done but just couldn't bring myself to pick up my last project to work on. I'll do it this weekend, I swear. And I was only moderately bad at Whole Foods. Did get tripped up when my favorite soy ice cream brand was put on sale. Had to try the chocolate mint, how could I resist? And they had my Amy's tofu scrambles back in stock. So totally mine!
I did have a question I hope someone can offer an idea for. Has anyone ever had to substitute something else for mayo in a recipe? If so, what? And did it work? I'll do a little poking around online to see if I can figure out a way around this connundrum, but any advice would be helpful.

Re: Mayo
Date: 2004-10-14 05:16 pm (UTC)I usually can get away with swapping mayo out for plain yogurt or sour cream. (Yogurt is the healthier solution.) I've also heard of using silken tofu as a mayo substitute in recipes, but I can't vouch for that one personally.
