unoriginal: erin's blog

I'm lazy & quite terrible about returning emails and keeping in touch with people. Now people can be nosey and keep an eye on what I'm doing... as long as I keep the blog up to date!

I went to Live 8 London

Lost & Found



LOST ends this Sunday, and I'm so excited! I've stuck with this show since its premiere in 2004, and it's been a great constant. Jorge Garcia, who has a great blog of his life living in Hawaii, may now reveal secrets. Hurley is a fantastic character and Jorge is a super nice guy, answering fan mail & sharing good bread recipes too! Cake Wrecks is celebrating with a gallery of LOST Cakes.


Cake Wrecks is a great example of a simple idea executed well. One AP story of a misspelled cake triggered a blog, a book, a book tour, t shirts and spin offs! Sorry to see LOST go, but man, it's been sooo much fun!! Please PLEASE give Jorge Garcia and Michael Emerson a new show!

Inspiration Arrives In the Oddest Forms

My boy Conan O'brien began his Tonight Show run this week, and his new set is amazing. It's neo-modern with a touch of 20's glam. Well, some peeps over at SeriousLunch took a look and made an interesting connection:


Seems the ambient Tonight Show backdrop for the show open & monolouge was inspired by Nintendo's Mario series, circa 1992. Of course, it's entirely possible it's a simple coincidence, but it's more fun to think it's not.


Tech blog Gizmodo was able to get a comment from Nintendo of America's Pres. He thinks "That's Great!"

The Big Red Machine

Ever wonder how those red envelopes make their way into your mail box? Well, yeah it's the postal carriers. But I mean what journey does that envelope take once at the mysterious Netflix labs? Boston.com has a peek inside a Netflix shipping HQ, located in Northborough, MA.
