I get the whole beard symbolism…
(i.e. suicidal Jack vs back in control Jack)
And the curly hair/straight hair thing…
(i.e. island Sayid vs post-island Sayid)
I’m just saying…this does not look like the same person!
I seriously expected Jack to say, “You’re not Frank” when he walked out of the cockpit. I just can’t believe how different he looks! Anyone feel me on this?
I wish more people gave me high fives in the subway station

Well it sure has been a while since I ate something. Yes, that’s right, I haven’t written anything because I haven’t been eating. I thought I’d give it up in the new year… try my hand at other things like chess boxing. Needless to say, that didn’t pan out so I thought I’d get the pan out and cook some food.
And what’s better when coming off starving yourself than a giant cheeseburger.
(Don’t worry, that’s not me under there. I made two and gave one to someone else. She also hadn’t been eating.)
Ok, ok, ok, I’ll be honest. I didn’t eat that giant inflatable burger pictured above. I actually didn’t even cook anything. I got a cajun style cheeseburger from the Park Slope Ale House on 6th Ave and 5th Street out here in Brooklyn and boy oh boy was it delicious. Something about the kick of Jack cheese and the cajun spices combined with some garlic mashed potatoes and a Radaberger that makes me say, “Mmmm, mmmm, Alex will eat that.”
I think Google is still working out some bugs with the new “Latitude” feature, where your friends can stalk you.

We were watching Iron Chef (the original), and I decided Japanese TV is way better because of the drama level. Take this video for instance…
I mean, right?
(please note, I’m aware I was laughing like a little girl in this video, but I couldn’t help it. I watched it about 20 times on the DVR before I recorded it with my video, and my cheeks hurt from laughing)
More often than not, Danny has snacks at his desk. Chances are I’ll come upstairs under the guise that I want to say hello when actually I’m coming up to eat some snacks. On a recent visit I enjoyed one of these:
I don’t even know what the hell that is.
Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed it and promptly helped myself to seconds. What I do know about it is that it’s a coconut cookie with its bottom covered in chocolate. (Is it still a cookie if there is no dough?) It reminded me very much of one of my favorite treats: the macaroon. Maybe it was the coconut.
To me, the macaroon is a delicious dessert item that you always forget about until Passover come around. Then macaroons are everywhere. They’re the first thing you see when you walk into any grocery store–right next to the matzoh. You end up living and breathing macaroons for about two weeks and then they’re gone, not to be seen again until the next year. Maybe it’s just me but I forget about the macaroon in the off-season. It never enters my mind. This could be why they’re so great every year. It’s like I’m tasting them again for the first time.
Well, thanks to Danny and his strange macaroon-and-Hershey-bar-stuck-between-two-dictionaries-and-used-as-a-booster-seat cookie, the macaroon has come back into my life at a time when I’m usually unwrapping little gold Hanukkah gelt chocolates. (Does anyone know if they have these in dark chocolate? Alex will eat that.)
I’d like to introduce a new section on HFaH, called “Papyrus Sightings”. Papyrus is my MOST hated font, and it’s everywhere. Now, let’s document it together and take pictures of some good papyrus sightings.
If you’re unfamiliar with Papyrus, you may have seen it in the following places:

And now… our first Papyrus font. It comes from Florida, which in my mind is the Holy Land of Papyrus. Happy Papyrus-ing
