Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am so in love with The Singing Office, I don't even know. Although I wish they had more time to practice, because the groups would be better with it.

We have talked about the Singing Office at my office, but unfortunatly, the two people who can actually sing are me and my accounting nemesis...

Ha! I wonder who in my office could sing. I saw some karaoke clips recently, so some people are at least up for it!

I just saw last week's Shear Genius, and just have to ask where they get these people. Those cuts were bad. And do people really spend an hour doing their hair so that they are happy to cut that time to 1/2 hour? Isn't the point of going to a good stylist to get a cut that you don't have to worry about?

Project Runway: TV Guide has a "where are they now" feature up for past contestants. (Finalists and winners - I believe.)

My feeling, too. But they get soooo many women with long hair, who won't consider anything less than shoulder length. Just blow drying long hair takes a half hour, much less the time spent straightening/curling it or anything like that. And did you notice how the judges gigged the stylist whose model didn't fully dry her hair in order to put twist curls in? Those poor stylists couldn't win for losing.

However, I agree that the stylists on this season are mostly crap. I think my daughter could do a better job them most of them. I mean, Oshun? Nekisa? Hell, I could do better than Nekisa.

Does it talk about the current season?

Nope, not at all.

I guess this is why I don't blow dry my hair. The thought of just standing there doing that for any amount of time makes me want to claw my eyes out.
