maystoneIt was warm! Not a lot of sunshine, but it was warm. Yay! Dar and I had to go into Kitchener this morning, and because of the huge snow pack and the warming temperature there was a heavy fog for most of the journey. I've driven that route so often during the past two years that I tell myself I could do it blindfolded. Today I almost got to put that to the test. There were some parts of the route where the visibility was down to a few feet. Wild. Fortunately it all cleared up by the time we made the return trip.
We (but mostly Dar) spent a lot of time out at the barn keeping an eye on Satine. I know, I know. But really, this is most probably the possible weekend when maybe she'll have that cria. Honest! Her whole body shape changed over the course of the day; where yesterday she was mostly all belly and hollowed out around the hips, today she became more evened out as the cria (apparently) moved into the birth canal. For an added proof, Dar saw the cria kicking at Satine's butt :) The baby is in position, folks. Her vulva is also extended and opening. (And I wonder how many hits this post will get by the prurient googler?) She's an eating machine and pissy as hell at everyone around her. I mean all the signs are there, and she has to give birth at some point,right? Why not now during a warm break?
I shoveled out some of the deck right off the kitchen so that the Jane kitty go outside for a bit. She loved it. The girl does enjoy her fresh air, and it must be a relief not to always be on the lookout for some bigger cat pouncing on her. I had her out a couple of times during the day, and she always came back of her accord. We're not going to have to worry about her wandering away once she becomes a permanent outdoor cat. Chloe wanted to go outside, too, but since she's in heat again that would be a big no. They'll both be getting fixed soon enough, and then they can come and go as they please.
But enough about animals, on to the important stuff:
Did not see that coming at all. It just blew me away. I've been browsing around, looking at reactions on TWOP and a couple of blogs, and I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one who was suckered into thinking that Jin had left Sun once they made it back to civilization. I noticed his clunky, big cell phone, and while it registered, all it set off was a "huh" reaction rather than an "aha!" I thought it was a comment on South Korean technology :) I should have known it was a flashback, those sneaky bastard writers. Good on ya!
I didn't catch the exact date on the tombstone, but I know now that it's the date of the plane crash. Originally, because I didn't realize the significance of the date, I thought that Jin was killed by Sun's father or perhaps by something more mundane like a traffic accident. Now? Who the hell knows? It could be that
1) the tombstone was erected when the news went out (falsely) that there were no survivors from the crash. But if that were the case, Sun's name would be on there, too. Jin's father could never have afforded something that expensive, and I'm not sure that Sun's father would spring for a stone for Jin. So I think it was ordered by Sun.
2) Jin died on the island, and Sun brought his body back. I really don't think so, but it's a possibility.
3) Jin is alive on the island, being used as a hostage by Ben. This isn't my theory, but I really like it. And not only because it means that Jin is still alive :) The theory goes that Ben is using Jin (and no doubt others as well) as leverage to get Sayid to act as his hitman. Also, Ben would have an enormous interest in Ji Yeong since she was conceived on the island; he'd want to keep her in his metaphorical clutches which he could do if he's still holding Jin.
It's probably something else all together, but I love the fact that there are so many possibilites. This season is just phenomenal, and I'm so glad that I stuck with the show during it's very sucky string of eps during last season.
One more episode, and then it's a long wait to see how all of this pans out. Argh.
