They said to try motion sickness OTC meds, but they didn't do anything for me.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

I went to the ER for vertigo!
The time I was admitted to the hospital from the ER was when I had vertigo! But I had it so bad I couldn't open my eyes without throwing up. And it went away after a few days. They never figured out exactly what it was but it was probably a virus.

I do still have a tendency to vertigo, but it's never been as bad as that first time.

I once managed to go to the ER three times within the space of a year, but that's it (once for vertigo, once for an infected cat bite, and once when I had my stroke).

Apparently!
So, Top Design? I feel like it was obvious that Nathan was going to win, and I feel good about it.

Because books.
I actually wasn't sure at first, Jesse. I didn't love his house as much as I wanted to, and Margaret was right about that wallpaper going up the stairs.
I felt like I could live in Ondine's house, and really liked all of it, but that it wasn't *quite* high-concept enough, especially that front room.
I actually thought Preston was going to win. I think in the end he was almost too polished. And I got that vibe that they both wanted to reward Nathan for taking chances and that they knew Preston was going to be really successful anyway.

Yeah, totally.
I really liked what Jonathan said about each of the three of them -- I was thinking they would never be competing against each other in real life, because no one person would want to hire more than one of them! I would totally pick Ondine for my own place.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
Today I was jumping channels, and I was sucked in for a short time by an atrocious show on Bravo called "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." There was this one woman, Kim, I think, who keeps claiming that she's 29 (just, no. That's a rode hard, put up wet 29 there, honey.) and her super-secret Sugar Daddy is paying for her to become a country singer. Then they subjected us, the viewers, to listening to her sing, over and over, and over.... She's tone-deaf. Everything she sings is flat. Dallas Austin, a producer who should know better, apparently owes the Sugar Daddy big time, because he hasn't just tossed this woman out on her ass, but he did in desperation send her to a vocal coach. (That woman was just thrilled to learn Kim smokes like a chimney and can't find or hold a note.) The coach finally told Kim she doesn't know what she's doing, and she doesn't know how to find her pitch. So Kim just asked how important that was in the studio, really? And then you could practically hear crickets chirping. In the voiceover Kim was bitching that the coach was picking on her because she doesn't know the nuts and bolts of music theory, "But I don't need to know that. I'm a singer."
So, my question is -- does anyone follow this show? Can you tell me if reality ever smacks this woman in the face? Because I don't think I can bring myself to watch it again.
