A few quick news and notes from the land of SKOS. (Doesn’t that sound like a cool place to live? I should try selling time shares…make a few bucks.)
Aside from the minor issue of me still waiting for all the winners to send me their mailing addresses (*cough* gianna *cough*), the book giveaway was an astounding success. Once I have received the addresses from all the winners (*cough* gianna *cough*), I’ll get the books shipped on out.
Of course, that’s not to say the book giveaway was without controversy. Two regulars, who both happened to come away empty handed, have claimed the giveaway was fixed. Josh went Oliver Stone on me and brought up the “C” word (conspiracy). Steve wondered aloud if I hand picked the winners, who just happen to all be female, so that I could “woo” them.
Pssssh, I say. Pssssh.
One of the five winners, Angie, is married. I have no idea of Gianna’s (*cough* send me your address *cough*) relationship status. Plus, with the exception of Josh and Steve and a small handful of others, most of my readers are female. It’s little wonder all five book giveaway winners were female — the odds are stacked in their favor!
Besides, fixing a book giveaway would be wrong.
Speaking of giveaways, the Arby’s coupon giveaway is going to end tomorrow at 5:00 PM EST. Yes, I arbitrarily picked this number out of a hat.
Thank you to all who have participated in the giveaway and attempted to decipher fact versus fiction in the Kev trivia game. However, several regularls have yet to participate. What’s up, guys? Too good for Arby’s? Or are you scared you might flunk the quiz?
Yep, I bet that’s it.
I will announce the winner on Thursday, along with the correct answers and how well everyone did.
And yes, whomever comes in last place will be teased. Just a little bit, though.
I realize the rest of the world caught on to the LOST phenomenon several years ago, but I just started watching it last week. I’m watching Season One on DVD and I’m absolutely hooked.
Every episode is suspenseful. Every episode reveals something new and unexpected.
Locke’s dad stole one of his kidneys?
Kate is an outlaw??
Sawyer is farsighted???
I wish I could take off a solid week from work and watch every single episode.
There was no rhyme or reason to this post, but what are all of YOU addicted to lately. Consider this your very own 12-step program. Just leave a comment or two or ten.
I'm a cypher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. Also, my name is Kev and I own this here website.

Hi, my name is Angi, and I’m addicted to too many things to name.
Today, it’s Advil.
P.S. Tell Josh and Steve if they’re dying to read the book that badly, I’ll mail one of them my copy when I’m done reading it, and they can pass it on when they’re done.
;-) 2.17.09 at 1:54 pm:
Okay, I’ll play. They’re ALL fake!
P.S. LOST is amazing! I’m so glad you’ve joined all the cool kids in agreeing that it is so.
;-) 2.17.09 at 2:05 pm:
@Angi: Hi Angi. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
I’m sure they will read your comment, but if not I’ll be sure to relay it to them.
@Allison: Um, this is the wrong blog post to leave your answers! Haha. But it’s okay, I’ll still count your guesses. Because I’m cool.
Methinks the cool kids should have spoken up in 2004 when LOST got underway. I’d have joined the club a long time ago!
;-) 2.17.09 at 5:41 pm:
Maybe if Josh and Steve wrote you a marriage proposal, then you might consider letting them win sometime.

The day you posted about the Arby’s coupons I rushed out and had lunch at Arby’s. It was delicious, I hadn’t eaten there in ages. Probably, I should get a coupon for that. You have my address, so that’s convenient. It would make a nice bookmark in the book.
Today I am addicted to … ABBA!
;-) 2.17.09 at 8:25 pm:
but i’m scared of that book!!
and i’ve made my way through many a tv series but i just can’t stomach lost. how do you stand all the stupidity?!?!?!
;-) 2.17.09 at 8:27 pm:
Ok, confession time.
Me first: yes, I’m scared.
Now your turn: admit that at least two of your female regulars (probably including one or two of the winners) is none other than Kev, trying to give everyone the impression that he has a bevy of beauties following his every word.
Remember, Kev: liars go to hell.
;-) 2.17.09 at 8:32 pm:
Woops: “two…are” (not “is”).
;-) 2.18.09 at 4:11 pm:
I’m a chick who reads your blog… How weird. lol
I’m excited to know what’s true and what’s false so I’ll be back!

I’m Josh and I am a LOST-a-holic.
Hi, Josh
I have been clean for over 12 hours. However tonight I will go on a LOST binge and watch episode 6 of season 5. And I just KNOW it’s gonna blow my mind.
Wow! Locke’s kidney is near-sighted? Really?? I have to go back and watch season 1.
