Gadget for the Lost

This article is funny - it's a recommendation of gadgets for the main characters in LOST.

The most practical gadget would have to be that personal translator for Jin, who doesn't talk much in the show because he couldn't converse in English. Or maybe that Kiss-O-Meter to keep Jack's breath in check. The most guffaw-inducing 'gadget' for me is that audio book for Sawyer. Needless to say, fans of the show would appreciate this.

Some of my friends would say that I need that Pocket GPS that Sayid was recommended.

I still remember that horrified look on SC's face when we were driving around one day and I confessed that I had no idea how to get to our destination. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. She was looking so peaceful and at rest with the world before that announcement.

"Ariel Coolcat!" she bellowed. "Don't tell me we are LOST???!"

She never used my full name before. So I guess, she must be really really frazzled. Thus, I didn't have the heart to tell her until much later that I'm directionally-challenged especially when it comes to driving to not-so-familiar places. But somehow or the other, I always do arrive at my destination - except for that time when I can see the building but couldn't find any way to actually reach it.

"It isn't so bad being lost sometimes," I assured her. And it's true. It helps knowing that Someone is watching and guiding me and won't let me meander in LOST mode forever.

"I don't care," says SC. "I'm going to get you a compass-shaped cake for your next birthday."

That's one yummy kinda gadget for this perennially LOST person alright.
