You can also read it here. I plugged it as a piece on "Why Lost Matters" and instead it's in the paper billed as the confessions of a Lost addict. Sigh... Whatever."</i><br /><br />Nikki: I've read this, and I don't understand. Where do you see that they are billing you as a "Lost Addict"? <br /><br />Please reply and be specific, because I thought (and think) that it appears to be (and is!) a well thought out article! What's wrong with it?Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488395834471648522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-75095753013257849862010-05-22T11:30:07.321-04:002010-05-22T11:30:07.321-04:00Thanks to both of you. And don't worry, I'...Thanks to both of you. And don't worry, I'm certainly not disappointed in anything, and have been joking for a few days that I bet all of this will come down to 5 minutes, and it did, but if I'd only spoken for 10 minutes, it would have come down to nothing. ;) <br /><br />TM: Thank you so much. You know, I'm reading Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground RIGHT NOW and I've been struggling with it all week and hitting roadblocks with it, and just suddenly hit a section that made perfect sense and seemed to pull all of the various threads of Lost together, and I'm thrilled and suddenly typing loads again. Yay!! ;) <br /><br />Thanks for checking out all those links!! It's a lot of reading for a Saturday morning. :)Nikki Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463618183850438914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-46254753863132673202010-05-22T11:23:30.040-04:002010-05-22T11:23:30.040-04:00Nikki:

Their interest and agenda is not yours, the sound byte is deceptive and biased, and the lenses for the closeup interviews are intimidatingly HUGE and in your face.<br /><br />You handled yourself with aplomb. You conveyed the integrity and passion of the committed fan and put a positive spin on our, ahem, particular obsession. You made it worth following all those links. Every one. Congratulations.<br /><br />Mr Reaney's piece resonated most precisely for my take on your niche in the Lost sphere: hard work, smarts, thoroughness,witty, broad-based, fast, prodigious, and funny. And you do walk the highwire with seeming effortlessness, but it is clear to any who truly follow your work that therein is belied devotion to your craft and mad skills. I share the optimism that you will rebound quickly into a new venture to showcase such rare and polished talent.<br /><br />Oh, and the Stephen King stuff will be lost on me, too, regardless of the high credit given by TPTB to <i>The Stand</i>. Joyce, Milton, Carroll, Huxley, Rushdie: soul sisters and brothers more worthy of your interest.TM Lawrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-6800514829630614292010-05-22T09:57:19.997-04:002010-05-22T09:57:19.997-04:00I thought the London Free Press story really captu...I thought the London Free Press story really captured what people love about Nikki, and demonstrates all the years she's put into her craft. As for the other reporters -- well, all I can say is that I've been a reporter and like any profession, there are good and bad. I think it is a testament to Nikki and Lost that the show has captured such attention this week. What's next for Nikki? A long and well-deserved break, I hope.GolfGuynoreply@blogger.com
