Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Just watched PR last night. I liked that the designers weren't too literal, but OTOH, a lot of them were too conceptual.

As much as I loved Seth Aaron's jacket, it was not "air", even with the wind/midnight air explanation. But it was fabulous, so it got a pass. I would have been pissed if it had won, because it didn't address the challenge.

Ben's pants were atrocious. I knew he was going to get kicked off as soon as I saw them, because anyone who thinks that drawing attention to the crotch like that is a good idea has issues with "taste level"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I was quite inspired by Ben. I'm wearing a suit today for my afternoon in court, and I am wearing a jockstrap over my pants. I think it's quite fetching.

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?

Pictures, Aims??

Because books.

Aims = Trend. Setter.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Tangent - there are so many boys, and men, at the dojo who do not always wear their cup under their gi. If we are sparring, they will run to their bag and put the jockstrap on OVER their gi pants. Black pants with a flair of "captain underpants" over them. Oy.

Seriously - if you are a dude, always wear your cup UNDER your pants when you come into the dojo.

The more you know.

This may be the best conversation ever in Non-Fiction TV. And so unexpected.

Thrive to spite them

YTAY SCYTYCD!!!

Idol thoughts -- Sibhon (sp?) was fantastic she was the only one who really worked the stage.

Youngest boy did better than I thought.

Crystal looked better - I mean at the results show last weeks he looked so sad and down. But she sang great, she always sang great.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I'm so peeved that they are breaking out Stones week the season after Kris, Adam and Allison are on the show. For real.

Big Mike - Voice sounded fine. Performance was a cheese factory. As usual. And I already forgot what he sang, so that can't be good.

Didi Benami/Playing with Fire - Her voice sounded great. It might not have been the best song choice, but it was solid. I agreed with the judges. Except Judge #4, who is always wrong.

Simon and Ryan are making me very, very uncomfortable.

SYTYCD in May? Oh, happy day!

Casey James/It's All Over Now - Well, now I'm always going to think of him as brain damage boy. He's not on the pitch. That's sad. The guitar playing is excellent. And I see what he was going for and the rasp could work, but he's just . . . off. I can't tell whether he's sharp or flat (I think maybe a little bit flat?) but it's just a big ole case of close but no cigar. And just standing there and not making good eye contact with the audience is hella boring. Good clothes.
