In lighter news, and I don't know why I just thought of this, but as bad as this season's BB has been, it might have the best BB line ever: "It's pronounced "neanderTAL!"
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You are not wrong, Jesse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It just pops into my head and makes me laugh all over again.

I put together my Best-of-S7-SYTYCD dvd, and was disappointed to find out it didn't even go 90 minutes, and that was after I put in several guest appearances and a few decent-but-not-fantastic dances from earlier in the season.

Not surprised at who went home on Top Chef. He disrespected the protein. That's the kiss of death.

Ugh. She annoys the hell out of me.
The CIA dinner was interesting. None of the other CIA people looked at all amused when sPanetta got called away .

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I know right? I wonder what that was about.

I never liked him as a person, but I'm okay if he's a decent chef. I'm sorry that Kenny went home, he was clearly more talented than Alex, but when you jump in to be the executive chef, you risk going home. If you're going to be exec, you better knock out your dish.
Speaking of chefs, I went to Eric Ripert's West End Bistro for dinner tonight for Restaurant Week. Unfortunately, it was really disappointing. The service was great, but the food was not up to expectations.
I had the steak tartare for a starter, which was excellent. My friends ordered the house salad for their starter. It was basically big bowl of large lettuce leaves with a handful of chives. It did not look appetizing.
My second was a pasta carbonara, but the egg on top had a runny yolk, but the white was totally cooked. It was a weird texture in the dish, although the flavor was great.
Both friends ordered the flat iron steak with the truffled frites. The steaks were okay, but the frites arrived overcooked and dry. We sent one back (J likes his fries overdone). They were better this time, but still not good. She didn't even eat half of them.
Dessert was profiteroles (we all had them), nothing to write home about. I was disappointed that the other dessert choice was creme brulee. Too much vanilla.
Our wine was great, and my friend happened to talk to the manager on the way out. He called me over and I explained the issues. She made the excuse that it was Restaurant Week, and I told her that I consider RW and audition for my full price patronage. She offered a free bottle of wine when we returned. I might give them another shot.
