The "Lost" Dharma Video From Comic-Con, Plus the "Lost" Video Game

In her awesome coverage of this year's Comic-Con, Team member Phasekitty described a new Dharma video that screened during the "Lost" presentation, and it sounded spooky. Now that it's available online, I'm not sure what to make of it.

The guy presenting the film is Dr. Marvin Candle, who has usually been featured in the Dharma orientation films, though he introduces himself using a different name: Dr. Edgar Halowax. It seems like Halowax/Candle was in a similar situation to that of Juliet, since he snaps at the people behind the camera about having to wear makeup when he's a scientist, making me wonder if he's on the island somewhat against his will. Then there are the bunnies with the number 15 printed on their fur that all the people in the room seem to fear. And creepily flashing in between takes with Halowax/Candle are the words "God loves you like he loved Jacob" (the same words were flashed during Carl's brainwashing session), along with other various images that don't seem to go with the doctor's orientation speech for the Orchid Station.

Halowax/Candle also starts to explain that "the unique properties of the island" cause a kind of "Casimir effect," though he's quickly cut off just as he's about to say what this allows them to do. Wikipedia describes the Casimir effect as "a physical force exerted between separate objects, which is due to neither charge, gravity, nor the exchange of particles, but instead is due to resonance of all-pervasive energy fields in the intervening space between the objects." So... there's that.

In addition to this video I came across the sneak peek of the "Lost" video game, which looks so silly I don't even know what to say. To check out both videos,

Fragrance Review: Bali Dream by Estee Lauder

Back in April, I was browsing around the duty-free shop while waiting for a flight and I felt myself drawn to this beautiful new, pink eau de parfum bottle from Estee Lauder called Bali Dream ($42). I love the bottle's bubble-gum color, and the scent inside is so light, pleasant and tropical, I couldn't believe that I hadn't heard any buzz about its launch.

The reason is that this fragrance is considered a travel exclusive, meaning that it's only available in duty free stores (in airports and some train stations) around the world. Funny enough, I always think that airport shops are over-priced traps for the thoughtless few who don't make time to buy gifts before they arrive at their destination. Now I love that there is an entirely new section of exclusive products to check out while in transit.

Bali is a place where smiling is part of the culture and if you've ever been lucky enough to visit, it's nothing short of paradise. The people are happy, the lifestyle is relaxed and the landscape is breathtaking. The fragrance somehow manages to capture the elegant essence by combining notes of orchid, magnolia, honeysuckle, jasmine, ginger, ylang ylang, gardenia, cassia, pepper, tagete, muguet, tuberose, apple, pago pago, coconut, vetiver, vanilla, cedar wood and Bali temple wood.

I can't wait to get back to the airport to stock up on another bottle - and hopefully this time I'll be on my way to Bali!
