I decided I needed to document my collection for posterity (and the insurance rider), and I am curious to see how much stuff I really have. I am taking the opportunity to share the collection with other fans who may stumble across this blog as well. I will attempt to add an entry or two every day, until I have finished documenting the collection.andalonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15592494137338265279noreply@blogger.comBlogger999125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335870487315889305.post-4515430810778629362014-07-10T06:14:00.004-05:002014-07-10T06:14:55.912-05:00Oceanic Carry-On Bag<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have made many posts about the fantastic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOST designs that my friend Ian Knight (aka Zort70)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
has created. His wine bottle design was chosen as one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the official logos of LOST 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another design that Ian submitted to the contest</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was his take on a MacCutcheon label - LOSTified.</div>

A group of LOSTies (many of whom shared two</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in Los Angeles the evening before the LOST</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10 year reunion panel at Paleyfest for dinner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and drinks. We were all surprised when Ian's </div>

design was presented to each of us on a shot glass</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and actual miniature bottle of scotch.</div>

together to provide the group with these AMAZING gifts! </div>

I’ve wanted a *Squirrel Baby on Board* sign since I saw a photo </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of one in Wired Magazine. The photo accompanied an interview </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with Darlton during Season 6 and was taken in the LOST writers’ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
room. Someone had made a mockup of Squirrel Baby on the bulletin board.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I commissioned a Squirrel Baby sketch from Ryan Dunlavey a few </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
years ago during his $10 commissions. I decided to use that image</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for my Squirrel Baby on Board sign (yes, I obtained his </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
permission) and asked Ian Knight to do the sign layout. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(If I had any skill with anything like that, I would younger, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
taller, thinner, prettier in every photo you’ve ever seen of me.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He did a fabulous job and I am thrilled with the results!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The minimum order I could place was 250, so I am donating 225 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the SBOB signs to Cancer Gets LOST as donation incentives </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
during LOST 2014 in Hawaii. (They’ll be available for minimum </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
$5 donation at the CGL event on 9/22/14) I kept the remaining</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
25 to send to some of the awesome and amazing friends I have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
made through LOST and LOST Args.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....and speaking of Messages in a Bottle (last post)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">I first saw a photo of a promotional "Message in a Bottle"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">nine and a half years ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">I don't know how many bottles washed up on beaches</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">to promote the premiere of LOST,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">but I have been in search of one ever since seeing that photo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">The bottle had a single word printed on the outside</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">and held a special message inside.</span></div>
<div style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
I missed out on a few chances over the years </div>
<div style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
to obtain a bottle due to pricing. </div>
<div style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
I just couldn't justify spending that much money. </div>
<div style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
But FINALLY, price, circumstance and obsession came together! </div>
<div style="color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
It originally was found in Long Beach, CA.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am turning over this entry to share a lovely, heartfelt project </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with any and all LOSTies who stumble across this post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A friend came up with the idea and I encourage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everyone to show their love of LOST and Damon Lindelof</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and participate!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="mbs _5pbx userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 5px;">
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
When he suddenly left the Island (otherwise known as the Twitterverse) last year, <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=107953872560701" href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Damon-Lindelof/107953872560701" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Damon Lindelof</a> definitely left a void in the (virtual) lives of <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=30566281895" href="https://www.facebook.com/LOST" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Lost</a>fans all over the world. This is a fan-driven project aimed at countering all the negativity that (presumably) contributed to his decision to leave!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
The goal is simple: To fight hate with love. Are you dying to tell Damon how much you miss him? How much you love him and how awesome he is? Do you want to tell him that no matter how vocal those Twitter 'haters' may be, adoring and admiring fans easily outnumber them 4,815,162,342 to 1? Has the lack of his snappy comebacks to <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=138004982928914" href="https://www.facebook.com/fancyfeast" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Fancy Feast</a>'s tweets turned you into a disgruntled dog lover? Or do you merely miss his obsession with Justin Bieber's yellow spikey hat? Here's your chance to send him a message of love and positivity!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
Here's how it'll happen:</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
1) If you're game, tear a piece of regular letter-sized paper into half, and that one half will be your canvas. Write on it whatever you want to tell Damon. Pour your heart out. Include where you're from to let him know how geographically diverse his fan base is. Get creative - draw pictures, color it, or whatever else your muse inspires you to come up with... as long as it fits ONE half-piece of paper.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
2) Mail your labor of love to:</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
Messages from the Island</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
P.O. Box 15032</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
Beverly Hills, CA 90209</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
United States of America</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
3) I will compile them, stuff them in a big bottle, and get the bottle to Damon.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
4) Damon reads your messages. He feels all the love and support. He is overwhelmed to a bundle of joy-filled tears. Happiness will ensue. Unicorns and rainbows. All will be right in the world.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
There will be absolutely NO NEGATIVITY in this bottle - I will screen each message before putting them in the bottle to make sure that it is 100% troll-proof!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
Interested? Then get to work! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! Please get your messages to me by Wednesday March 12th, 2014. The bottle will be corked after that for delivery!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">
Thank you... Namaste, and good luck!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't mind adding prop replicas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to my collection in certain instances:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. photographs & paper items</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. items so *cool* that I'd probably</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
buy anyway, even if not LOST-related</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. stuff I can get for CHEAP-O (if it reminds me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of LOST and brings a smile to my face - good investment)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Note - I will always identify an item as being a replica if</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that is the case.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I purchased two lots of prop replica items on eBay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A polaroid picture was included in each of the lots.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I received an email a couple of weeks ago from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alexandra Tabas. She portrayed "Nadine", the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
female member of Rousseau's Science Team.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had stumbled across the entry for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nadine in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://myjourneythroughthelostencyclopedia.blogspot.com/">My Journey Through The LOST Enclyclopedia</a>, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and offered to send me a signed photo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me pause here to say...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>OMG - another LOST cast member actually saw my blog!!!!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I am not "cool". I get really excited about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
things. I would be an awful poker player.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I am sincere and very appreciative.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I received the photos a few days ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ms. Tabas autographed the front of both </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
photos and personalized the back.</div>

It's been awhile since I've posted here.<br />
The demands of work and family </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
have left little time for anything else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've continued to add to my LOST collection though,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so new posts to come shortly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few years ago, I purchased a LOST-themed ornament</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for my Christmas tree. I was a little disappointed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as the Dharma Bagua was printed off-center.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Another LOST-themed ornament was destroyed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Sawyer (the cat) claiming the Christmas tree</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as his personal playground.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to make a few additional LOST-themed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ornaments this year. As with most things LOST-related,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got carried away and the end result was an entire</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tree dedicated to LOST.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I began with 12 blank bisque discs purchased</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from Oriental Trading Company for $17/dozen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My injet print + decal paper + Mod Podge =</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12 custom LOST ornaments!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I next decided to put my<a href="http://amazingexgirlfriend.blogspot.com/2013/05/lost-in-baking.html"> LOST-themed cookie cutters </a>to use.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a dough of flour, water and salt, rolled it out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and cut out the shapes. I baked the flour "cookies"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for 1 hour and then cooled and painted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used nail polish that I get for cheap or free (with coupons)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
throughout the year. It makes for a much nicer finish than</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
regular acrylic paint. It also makes the ornaments A LOT<br />
less fragile.<br />

The total cost for my tree was only $40.59 plus tax.<br />
The tree came from an Ace Hardware one-day special for $9.99,<br />
with free ship-to-store.<br />
I spent $17 for the bisque discs and $6.50 for the glass bottles<br />
from Oriental Trading Company with free shipping.<br />
The computer ornaments was paid for with eBay bucks, so it was FREE.<br />
I spent $7.10, including shipping on the Oceanic plane.<br />
The rest of the supplies were on-hand, left over from other projects.<br />
I may be LOST, but I am thrifty. It leaves more $$$ to spend on my<br />
LOST Collection.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Both are very cool, but I haven't decided where to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
display them. I just rediscovered them, still in the original</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mailing sleeve, while cleaning out a drawer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really bad about stashing stuff away and forgetting about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The upside is the fun of finding LOST Treasures in the most</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
unexpected places! ie: underwear drawer.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stickers will join my other LOST stickers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the Stickers/Decal Binder. I may use one on the cover.</div>

I've fallen woefully behind on framing the latest additions </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I framed "The Candidates" today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The artist is Joshua Budich and the print</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am THRILLED that Josh Holloway is returning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to TV mid-season. His new show is called</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Intelligence and will air on CBS.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My fabulous friend Carol L. and her husband</div>

It arrived about a month ago, but I didn't have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
time to buy a frame for it until this week.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
to admit I prefer his more clean-cut look for "Intelligence".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The scruff tended to cover up those dimples.</div>

I found an awesome DVD interview</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with Damon Lindelof during one of my daily</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
searches for LOST treasures on the internet.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
"The Write Environment" includes a series of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in depth interviews with a total of six television writers, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hosted by Jeffrey Berman. The writes include:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Damon Lindelof, Tim Kring, Phil Rosenthal,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doug Ellin, Geoff Johns, Marv Wofman, Mark Waid.</div>

I only purchased the Damon Lindelof DVD, but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I would enjoy seeing the others as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The interview took place during the filming of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Season 4 of LOST and was held in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Damon Lindelof's office in Building 23.<br />
It focuses on a writer's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
environment and includes a tour of some of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lindelof's memorabilia and the stories behind the treasures.</div>

<b>THE WRITE ENVIRONMENT</b> is a compelling new series that takes us backstage into the here-to unseen world of the writer's room for an intimate one-on-one interview with some of today's most prolific writers. In these in-depth interviews we take a rare look at these diverse writers and uncover what inspires them. From that first idea to the finished script, the writers share their views and stories as we examine their successes, failures and everything in between. As entertaining as it is informative, this series will be of value to fledgling writers and seasoned pros alike as Hollywood's most successful writers reminisce about their careers and discuss their craft.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I obtained from The Bad Robot Art Experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My fabulous framer returned this to me today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Not Penny's Boat" by Jude Buffum measures</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
19.75" x 9" and is a giclee print on canvas.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've finally acquired what is (for me) one of the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rarest and most coveted items of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOST memorabilia for my collection!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ABC held a contest prior to Season 6 of LOST.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The winners each received a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Message in a Bottle".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bottle contains a message rolled</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
into a scroll and tied with twine and a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2GB USB fail-safe key.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bottles were a limited edition of only 815.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not win one of the bottles and have been</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stalking each eBay listing for one ever since...over three years!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They usually sell for more than I was willing to pay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I finally won an auction a couple of weeks ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi86T2J0Z9DRDxN0KE9qKTOnvlKTyfb20eDiH-fz8Hm3ZNn7FwWkCtwIbg2KRjTWHbAEZhkT8_BMIT_9J0MZqw9oJEA7SsFpa5_Csivb9yOJwO5C7XCYJ_BSGxY-pU_MTVCoJXu1eelmQU/s1600/bottle+statue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi86T2J0Z9DRDxN0KE9qKTOnvlKTyfb20eDiH-fz8Hm3ZNn7FwWkCtwIbg2KRjTWHbAEZhkT8_BMIT_9J0MZqw9oJEA7SsFpa5_Csivb9yOJwO5C7XCYJ_BSGxY-pU_MTVCoJXu1eelmQU/s640/bottle+statue.jpg" width="282" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first response upon opening the package was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I thought it would be bigger!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bottle only stands about 7.5 inches tall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I positioned it next to my Virgin Mary Statue for size comparison.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was also surprised that the bottle has such an amber</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
color. I had only seen pictures of clear bottles and initially</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thought it was discolored from smoke (monster?) or some other</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pollutant. But an internet search revealed that a number</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the bottles were the amber color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The USB fail-safe key is large and made of rubber.<span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">It contains the first five minutes of the Season Six Premiere.</span></div>

Desmond's release from Southway Garrison:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Lance-Corporal Desmond David Hume, your sentence is hereby</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
complete and you are now and forever dishonorably discharged </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from the Royal Scots Regiment of Her Majesty's Armed Forces. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Long live the Queen. Enjoy you sodding book."</div>

A "Hunter Dan" action figure stamps Desmond's release papers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has an appropriate military bearing and is quite a good </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stand-in, with exception of the lack of a beret.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The counter is a small cardboard box, set on end. I used</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the clipboard from the computer room of the Swan playset</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and made the stamper with a bead attached to a tiny piece of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
craft foam. I made the paper bag containing all of Desmond's </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
worldly possessions from a section of paper cut from </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an actual grocery bag. </div>
