I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I wonder how far back Ty and Aja were- we never heard the time of their flight leaving, and we never ever saw them in the same frame as another team. I wonder if they couldn't get on a flight at all till the following day- I remember the ticket agent lady saying to the Frat Guys that that they didn't think they'd be able to get out of there "tonight" before they actually could.

Art Crawl!!!

They were at least 9 hours behind when they left the pit stop. I think that they were really almost 24 hours behind.

Yeah, I don't think they ever had a chance, poor things. I can't remember, how did everyone get so spaced out on the last leg?

So many people went to the kiwi stomping challenge first and then switched.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm watching a rerun of Tim Gunn's Guide to Style (since fricking Lifetime has taken away my daily Frasier reruns).

This is the episode with the woman who claims not to care about labels, but then casually mentions when something is Chanel or Hermes or Gucci, or that she got an ugly skirt at "a really nice store in Italy."

Does she get less annoying?

Oh god, she was appalling. I missed the end though so I can't say if there was ever an epiphany. Doubt it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She's the worst. I think she just has a fake epiphany.

Huh. I swear I posted something here, but I don't see it. Anyway.

She just seriously said "velvet rope access."

"I used to do bikini modeling."

I wasn't too crazy about the episode after that one either. With the real estate agent.

It's gotten me to thinking about how I'd like to give Tim's show a makeover. I think I'd rather the show be a true guide to style. Instead of taking clueless people who have nothing in their closets that can be used, I'd like to see people who are maybe halfway there. They have pieces but they don't know how to pull it all together. People who want (note my use of the word "want") to learn how to complete a look, how to accessorize, etc.

ETA: This thought was inspired by the InStyle Magazine segments that they've been doing on the show. Which I usually find to be the most interesting and informative part of most episodes.

Punishingly Intricate

And I wish the show would address cost at all. It seems like all the women they've had on so far are pretty well-to-do. They can afford to buy quality clothes.

How do you get by if InStyle isn't around to give you a fab bag?
