Unraveling the Mysteries of "Lost": Was it Worth It? | AlwaysWatching.net
Yes, it was worth it. It was worth it in the sense that, if you've been watching and enjoying the show for the past six years, you were part of an experience that engaged the audience in a way that no other TV show has done before. The sixth season may have been the one to show viewers the light (literally), but that doesn't negate the thrill and intrigue that came with watching the story unfold in seasons prior.

I've been home from Spain for two weeks now. I'm not sure why I haven't written this blog post yet. It might be because of the mountain of stress I immediately felt upon returning to work. It's like all of the stress I shed in Spain was just sitting on my desk, waiting for me. Budget cuts and the fallout of that have caused immense speculation and worry over who will lose their jobs, and what we will and will not be able to purchase for next year. The unknown is stressful.

I really didn’t want to make a ‘Best of’ page, but it was requested so often that I felt I had to just to shut people up.

You Can Learn a Lot From a Rich Girl The Mommybloggers like to steal the credit for my site becoming popular, but the truth is I didn’t start really getting traffic until I wrote this. This article (along with the follow up) made it to the main page of digg, reddit (#1 spot), delicious, and popurls all at once. It also put me on the alexa ‘Movers and Shakers’ list and got me over 110,000 unique visitors in a single day.
Dolls, in honor of ELLE's twenty-fifth anniversary, I thought I'd reveal how the Ask Eeee column started. It all happened after I was fired as a writer on Saturday Night Live —a hilarious interlude that has lent a lovely piquancy to my subsequent advice on how not to be fired. Anyway, after I was canned, I started writing for Esquire , Rolling Stone , and Outside , covering sex and adventure and sometimes both! In 1993, this led ELLE editor Amy Gross to ask me to lunch at the hottest restaurant in New York—damn, I wish I could remember the name!
