We started Season 3 of Lost on Monday. We’ll finish in time, but we’ll be cutting it close!
The plane that crashed on the island in Lost was "Oceanic Flight 815," from Sydney to LA.
The plane that was hijacked in the movie Executive Decision (one of my favorites) was "Oceanic Flight 343," from Athens to Washington DC.
Apparently, they filmed a lot of 747 footage for Executive Decision, and the footage --- along with the fictional "Oceanic Airlines" --- has become a staple in Hollywood. Alias, Pushing Daisies, and Chuck have featured references to Oceanic Airlines.
Off to get myself cut on.
I took the boys to Wild Oats to get some granola yesterday. (It’s like Whole Foods Market, you know...even owned by them, I think.) Anyway...the boys call the place “HippyMart”.
I bought three dollars worth of granola and the guy that checked us out loudly proclaimed “DING DING DING! You win the prize for having spent the least amount in this store today!!!” He went on loudly proclaiming to everyone that NO ONE spends less than $100 in the store! He said I must have amazing restraint.
Which is true...I really coulda bought everything in the store. I love HippyMart...but their prices are generally out of my reach. Except the granola, which I have compared to granola at Walmart and found comparable.
And so much better.
