@Loster21's Tweets O' the Day from April 15-16, 2010

It’s still the 17th in my time zone, so TECHNICALLY this isn’t late… Sorry, real life was very insistent today.  Anyway, here are some great #LOST tweets from Thursday and yesterday, since yesterday’s post was the "Everybody Loves Hugo" Reactions Edition.  As has been the pattern lately, we begin with tweets from LOST production, starting with an announcement:

Carlton Cuse CarltonCuse - LOST LIVE: The Final Celebration. Royce Hall, Los Angeles. May 13. More details soon. 1:38 PM Apr 15th

WHAT??!!  Come on, we need more info!  Well, until then, enjoy this great video:

Damon Lindelof DamonLindelof - Please Lord, let us be a little more uplifting than ALF. http://bit.ly/bDQ53t 3:39 PM Apr 16th

Here’s a great tweet by a comedian and writer, retweeted by Carlton:

This one sent the conspiracy-theorists scrambling to analyze calculus and its application to LOST:

The excellent life of a LOST assistant editor:

To kick off the LOST in Real Life section, you need to know that Thursday April 15 was Major League Baseball’s Jackie Robinson Day and that all of the players wore his number, 42, during the games:

Jamie YaGottaBKiddnMe - Hey look. #42 just got a single, and #42 scooped it up, threw it to #42, but not before #42 scored. And the pitcher's number? 42. #LOST!!! 11:18 AM Apr 15th

In fact this tweeter was on a real roll on Thursday:

Jamie YaGottaBKiddnMe - 481-516-2342 <--- Has anyone ever dialed this phone number just to see what happens? Surely someone has. Right? #RIGHT?? #Lost 11:41 AM Apr 15th

Jamie YaGottaBKiddnMe - @jeffc1018 wow, that kinda makes it freakier than if someone had answered. unless the person answered with, "Ann Arbor Laboratories," or 12:56 PM Apr 15th

Jamie YaGottaBKiddnMe - @jeffc1018 "Yes, Mr. Widmore," or.... "Enter 77." Or something. 12:57 PM Apr 15th in reply to jeffc1018

Hopefully you’ve had a chance to check out @Loster21's Tweets O' the Day Special Edition Behind the Scenes Photos by Asst. Editor Chris Braun that I posted on Thursday.  One of the pictures was of Chris’s desk and it shows his laptop open to LOSTblog.  I loved the picture so much that I make it my laptop’s desktop, and I tweeted a photo of it.  In reply, the AMAZING Mr. Braun tweeted a picture back:

cb cbfromla - @Loster21 http://twitpic.com/1fwq5e 8:06 PM Apr 15th in reply to Loster21

Yes, it’s a picture of his office including his laptop open to my picture of my laptop with his laptop’s picture on it… so LOSTian!  And look!  Bad Robot!  THANKS AGAIN Chris!  WOW!

And I think the most fitting finale to this better late than never post is this soul-crushing one from Damon:

Damon Lindelof DamonLindelof - In LAX (no space) ready to board what will be my final flight to the island. It is becoming very, very real now. about 23 hours ago

And my favorite of many replies:

Tom Wilson tomwilson23 @DamonLindelof All fantastic, wonderful, inspiring, thrilling, dramatic, jaw dropping, mysterious & forever lasting things come to an end. about 22 hours ago in reply to DamonLindelof

Their work may be winding up but our love for their amazing show will never end.  Thanks to all who tweeted #LOST and please continue, you never know when I’ll be searching for the next set of tweets to include in the Tweets O’ the Day!  Namaste!
