"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The thing is, she voiced her opinion and then did the job she had to do. Her biggest problem (aside from having her opinion repeated endlessly by the editing monkeys) was that she tried to do too much. Her watermelon dish went over like gangbusters. She only did the dessert because nobody else did one and the groom had said he had a sweet tooth. Everybody is acting like she boycotted the challenge.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm watching the latest episode of Trinny and Susannah's show while I clean. I really like them, but my god, are they handsy. The last time I was groped that much by someone I didn't know was a female security guard at the Frankfurt airport.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

Her biggest problem (aside from having her opinion repeated endlessly by the editing monkeys)

I was wondering how much of her continual complaining had to do with the editors.

speaking of Top Chef, just turned on the TV after a night out to see that Mark from season 4 as a sous chef for the challenger. I think that the secret ingredient is maple syrup. Mark seems to be getting a lot more screen time than sous chefs normally do.

Mark. . . I have completely forgotten who that is.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Mark = stoned hobbit.

Because books.

Okay, I'm watching What Would Brian Boitano Make for the first time, and beaming. What a goof! I love this!

A little too much schtick for me. I wanted to like it, but it's a little too silly.

Because books.

It really was silly, but for half an hour it was amusing. It's not something I'd seek out necessarily, though.
