2010 is over, 2011 has begun, and Smugglivus is nearly complete! Which means that we must also undergo another very important ritual…
The Airing of Grievances
(in which we air out any dirty laundry from 2010. Warning: plenty of swearing and spoilers ahoy)
Heidi-ho! It’s another Sunday, and another stash. We hope everyone’s having an awesome Valentine’s Day, whether you’re out doing romantic crap, enjoying your time with friends, or happily on your own!
(We are loving these dorky Valentine’s Day Cards – and so want to share you [...]
Lost will be back this Tuesday with a two-hour premiere starting its sixth and final season. There will be another 16 episodes and then ALL WILL BE OVER.
Excuse us while we have a moment.

Ok, we are back. After [...]
2009 is over, 2010 has begun, and Smugglivus is nearly complete! Which means that we must also undergo another very important ritual…
The Airing of Grievances
(in which we air out any dirty laundry from 2009)
In ascending order, these are the things that really pissed us off this year.
5. The Birth of [...]
Hello there! This is our recap/review (or rant as the case may be) of the season finale of Lost. We kick-off with a Flash-recap (25 caps or less!) of the 2-part finale followed by a discussion between us where we go mental with all the WTF?! and HOLY CRAPs and with our theories for next [...]
Another day, another stash, another really damn important Laker game we MUST WIN OR DIE.
*Thea’s in a very vulnerable place today (especially when 30 mins before the game, ESPN.com takes it on themselves to post stuff like THIS) so don’t mind her*

Recap of Lost, Season 5, Episode 15, Follow the Leader.
I start the episode wondering WHO the leader the title refers to: is it Jack, Locke, Sawyer? All of the above?
The episode starts right after the previous one ended – with Faraday’s death, but from Jack and Kate’s point of view. Just before Faraday’s [...]
Recap of Season 5, Episode 14 titled The Variable.
This is the 100th episode of Lost and it is a Faraday-centric. It is quite aptly titled to reflect his relationship with Desmond – who had an episode titled The Constant (one of my top 2 favorites).
Now, what does the variable mean?
Desmond [...]
Recap of Lost, Episode 12, season 5 – Dead is Dead
it is time to embark on a Ben-centric episode! Woohoo!
Episode opens with a VERY charming, good looking man on a horse getting to the Other’s camp. The bloke has a british acccent so I know it’s Charles Widmore. Who would have thought [...]
Recap of Lost Season 5 Episode 11 titled Whatever Happened, Happened.
This is a Kate-centric and you know what this means: lots of good scenes with Sawyer and the potential to make one go NUTS wondering “WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO HER CHARACTER?” . Also, her episodes also come loaded with scenes with Jack which [...]
About Us
We are two completely obsessed, sad, sick addicts when it comes to books. Faced with threats and cynicisms from our significant others and because of the massive amounts of time and money we spend at Amazon.com, we resorted to getting books delivered to our offices and then smuggling them into our homes (in huge handbags) to avoid detection. Here we found a perfect outlet for our obsession! Reviews, recommendations, and other ponderings are our specialty.Sponsors
