It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Punishingly Intricate

Auditions for the next (season 13?) ANTM. Line ran the length of one block and around the corner, down to the next street, bent back on itself for a block, around the corner adn down another block, then around the corner and out of sight.

Shorties!!! I totally wanted my 22 year old gorgeous cousin to apply. I could svengali the hell out of an ANTM contestant!

My student assistant from last year (who was brilliant, unlike this year's chowderhead) auditioned. She was beautiful, smart, talented, etc. But, she was passed over for the transvestite. I SO wanted her to compete.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Transsexual, please!

Ha! I did wonder how Eva Pigford feels about that...

The playwright, Sophia.

Chekov the playwright or Chekov the Star Trek character?

My housemate thinks this is actually why some of the people were able to get it.

I was slightly surprised that they couldn't get it with the letters, but I don't how many people could readily come up with any playwrights, let alone a non-English one. I mean, if it was a famous French playwright, would it have been any easier for them?

Moliere! (although I think I'd be hard pressed to name another one)

I'm pretty sure "famous playwright" is a non-starter for most people.

As lost as Luke was on that task, I was impressed with how patient his mom remained. She knew he was uber-frustrated and she didn't whine about not being able to help him or anything.
