Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am totally loving Long Way Down. The dynamic between Ewan and Charley is great. On film, McGregor can play a bad-ass, but in life he is so clearly the calm one, while Charley is the wild man. It's nice to see real male friendship onscreen.

When Ewan was taking pictures before the trip and said he ends up with 200 pictures of his bike in front of various backgrounds, it made us laugh incredibly hard as that's just what the DH does.

Yes - I loved that moment.

Sadly, tivo is being difficult and did not record LWD this week. Will watch the repeat before the new episode.

I love how Ewan is just doing his thing and random people come up and ask to take pictures and he just does - w/o fuss and then goes back to doing his think like it never happened.

I also love that they went to the location in Tunisia where they filmed the original Star Wars and nobody paid attention to him so he could geek out all he wanted.

Sumi--that was so adorkable. They were all excited about seeing the original sets in a totally fanboy way.

speaking of adorkable, does anyone know what happened to Secrets of a Restaurant Chef? I really liked it, but could easily see how her mannerisms might have turned people off.

I think that they only had 5 or 6 episodes and they played them all.

Do not despair! She is in the midst (or was as of August 2nd) of writing 13 more episodes.

On Fox Reality.

If you don't get Fox Reality, I believe that the show is out on dvd.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Oh, dear god Hedda Lettuce is quotable:

I wanted to call it Project Run Away because once I saw it; I looked like Godzilla meets the Andrews Sisters. Which, like I said on my blog, would be cute if I was at the Beijing Olympics.

BWAH!

Okay, so I couldn't understand why the dreck that Joe did this week wasn't in the bottom three AT LEAST and then a poll on TWOP noted that he had immunity.

Indeed. Lucky for him.

So happy that Leeann won and please that Keith is out.
