Best iPhone Case EVER

May 27, 2010

While at lunch the other day, my buddy Big Dave showed me a slick new iPhone case he picked up at one of those ever-dubious mall kiosks. My cheap case had recently developed a crack that was rapidly progressing from a hairline to a compound fracture, so I needed to find a suitable replacement. The thing I really liked about Dave’s case is that it had a built-in slot on the back for a driver’s license and debit card, which pretty much eliminates the need to also carry a separate wallet. Needless to say, I was sold. I actually found one at Radio Shack on sale for $15, in the very snazzy shade of red depicted below. Amazon.com has the exact same case for $24 (suspiciously reduced to $20 IMMEDIATELY after I posted this), so score one for ME!

LOST: The End

  • I’m sure people found many things to complain about in the series finale, but my only complaint is that Faraday and DriveShaft didn’t break into a dramatically overwrought version of “November Rain.”
  • Hurley + Ben = BFF
  • If Juliet’s maiden name was Burke and her married (divorced) name was Shephard, then where did the last name Carlson come from?
  • So, it turns out it wasn’t Jacob who had been protecting the island all these years, but actually an enormous hieroglyphic-covered stone tampon.
  • Glad we got to see Vincent in the finale, even though Michael and Walt were inexplicably nowhere to be found – not even in the pews at Our Lady of Perpetual Metaphors.
  • Remember how The Brady Bunch eventually resurfaced as a TV-movie years after the series went off the air, in order to show the kids getting married? What’s the over-under on how many years before we see the inevitable wedding of Aaron and Ji-Yeon? LOST: THE NEXT GENERATION!
  • For years now, even though he’s been off the show forever, my all-time favorite character has been Mr. Eko. But now that the series is over, I think Eko’s been overtaken by Lapidus. Is there anything that bastard pilot can’t do???
  • All in all, I was mostly pleased with the finale. No, it didn’t come close to answering all my questions, and it wasn’t exactly the happy ending I was hoping for, but all things considered it was a fitting end to an excellent series. Not everyone is likely to feel the same, but I found the past six years to be an brilliantly-crafted and exhilarating adventure. There were ups and downs, but the ultimate result was without question one of the finest achievements in television history. Thanks for the ride!
  • P.S. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I don’t have to write these “LOST Thoughts” anymore! I really painted myself into a corner with this crap!
