Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I love Project Runway!

As much as I detest Santino, his impersonation of Tim Gunn is spot-on:

I completely agree with this. I was amazed how good it was.

I do not watch The Wire

Ah, but you should! It's the best drama about how institutions imprison ordinary people EVAH.

but any excuse to give the US education system a good goose is fun.

It ought to be great. One of the show's creators was, besides being a Baltimore cop for x years, a public school teacher for a number of years, too.

I should watch The Wire. Several people whose taste I normally trust tell me it is fabulous. And did y'all say it's set in Baltimore? So much material for a critical analysis of the way the ed system works (and doesn't work). A friend of mine does some consulting with the Baltimore public school system's HR department and . . . let's just say it's disheartening with signs of encouragement interspersed.

He's a much better Tim Gunn impersonator than he is a designer.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Has anyone else noticed how Corwood Industries is kinda cute?

I'm at home so I can fully enjoy a migraine today, and when Oprah asked Anne Hathaway a question about her Brokeback character Anne replied, "I think it's pretty obvious."

I thought we were going to see a real-life version of those Debra Wilson MADtv sketches where someone disses Oprah and carnage and bloodshed result.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The Wire is on my list of things to Netflix(egad, did I just use Netflix as a =verb=?) when my queue gets to a more manageable level.(Currently there are 99 disks in my queue)

Unfortunately, I look like Proposition Joe in real life. My kid, now he's the cute one.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I thought we were going to see a real-life version of those Debra Wilson MADtv sketches where someone disses Oprah and carnage and bloodshed result.

That was yesterday's episode.
