Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Punishingly Intricate

I love Rich a lot. Good thing I moved away, so I can stop imagining that we're really close to being Actual Friends.

Um...I totally do this even though we've never lived in the same city.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

For me, it's easier to remember the line with some geographical distance....

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

TCM: Woohoo! A local chef (who's rest. I adore) is going on to the next round.

I must say, I'm still a little pissed that they keep changing up the rules every episode it seems, but so be it - this time fewer contestants and one gets to go on out of the quickfire.

I definitely think the "second chance" chefs are the ones who should have been saddled with the team challenge - I wouldn't have nearly the complaints I do now.

I love the dichotomy of the asian chef with the stereotypical accent and the chef's potty mouth.

My favorite chef is now Jodi, with her "interrupted sex" analogy.

ARGH! I just figured out who was going to win because I saw the chef in the preview for next week. Spoiler FAIL, Bravo!

And his wife! Telling him to STFU and get cooking. Good times.

If you ever get up to Boston (or Cambridge, to be precise) you definitely need to get to Rialto. Hell, I NEED to get back there - it's been a long while.

Because books.

We just got spoiled right before the end, too, Vortex. Fail.

I'm finding it really annoying that every episode has different rules and challenge structures. But the chefs are still entertaining.

I loved Jodi and Susur, too.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I can see that they're trying to change it up and keep it interesting, but it's just feeling unfair and arbitrary. Fail.
