Wheeee!

I posted this LAST NIGHT, I guess just before you passed out. For you information.

Here is your first reminder. LOST, Wed. night. By the way, I just finished “Foucault’s Pendulum” yesterday (recommended reading by Jim Powell for this season of lost), and I can see many ways in which the show uses intertexual references to this book.

And of course, you’ve seen the pendulum device that Ms. Hawking is using to find a “window” to the islands location. If interested, google the Navel of the Earth. This all also has something to do with a “hollow earth” theory, which is something I thought may be part of the plot since day one.

Another book Powell recommended for this season is “A Briefer History of Time” which I will start next.
