Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Because books.

Me, too, sj. But it's going to be tough to decide between my top three.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anyone else see Food Flirts on PBS? I can't believe this got picked up to be a national show! The Brass sisters are local institutions, and at least one of them worked at WGBH for decades.

I just saw a promo for it the other night! It looks sort of adorable.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

For GBBS, the semi-final and the final are being combined this Friday - it'll be a two-hour show, starting earlier than usual (warning so you can set your DVRs).

And I think they're starting to get a little ... odd? ... with their themes. Tudors? really? I halfway expected pies filled with headcheese ....

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I liked the Tudor theme.

I didn't mind it. I'm actually kind of interested in trying to make the jumbles.

SYTYCD -still tired of the "woo"ing from the all-stars.

Also, Jenna's dance with Concrete just had a sense of "white girl taming the savage" to it. Just me?

My thoughts on OR. Shawn and Clair are going to be amnyong.

I was worried about Brandon not loved his look. It's not my style but I would we it.

Of the safe people I didn't like the little black dress it was matronly to me.

I assumed ChaCha was not long for the show.
