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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I really don't understand the homophobia in anything dance related. Which is stereotypical in and of itself, but when I was doing dance, it was the one place where, even in my tiny town, homosexuality was considered acceptable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, did everyone else know that Next Food Network Star is back starting tomorrow at 10??

Art Crawl!!!

I saw that in an ad yesterday. And it's on at the same time as several other shows I watch. What is up with that?

Rewatching the latest TC: Restaurant Wars episode this afternoon, and this thought occurred to me -- isn't this the first time in four seasons that one team clearly won on the first try?

Also, something I didn't catch in previous viewings: Bourdain, when bringing in the assistants, referring to Richard/Antonia/Stephanie as "Team Woodstock" and Dale/Lisa/Spike as "Team Altamont." BWAH!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

NFNS is a pretty good show. I'd never seen it before. I was very surprised to see Cory (from Last Comic Standing) on the show.

Not for long, though. This is actually a better group than last year's (almost all of whom I wanted to strangle).

Because books.

She was surprisingly unfunny.

Looks like Shane was on Nickelodeon's All That a few years back. Huh. Bobby did not look sympathetic when he started crying, although I wanted to pet his head.
