I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm currently watching the makeover episode of ANTM during the Caridee cycle. Fun drama.

Hah! I'm watching it too, Dana--I turned it on during the picking the models section and got so confused when both CariDee and Jaslene were in the top 21. I'd forgotten Jaslene got rejected and came back again another cycle.

I love the twins. Sniff.

I'm not sure anything beats whatever cycle it was that had Cassandra, the pageant chick who freaked out about getting her hair cut off.

I still have not seen Season 1 of ANTM, even with the multitude of marathons I have been sucked into.

Tyra got pissed at Adrienne, or vice versa, so I'm not sure if they even rerun it.

(Monique, so insane. This is the episode she gets kicked off. Thank god.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I saw it once in the last couple of years. That was good times.

Because books.

Yeah, I know my mom saw it recently, because she had never watched the early seasons, and she was impressed by Elise.

I never saw top model, but someone once linked to a "Top 10 Things Elyse said," youtube video, and boy is that girl hilarious. I read her livejournal sometimes.

Her career in Asia is pretty cool, for sure. I love the pictures she posts. She's smart as hell, and really funny.

I clearly missed the one where Tarantino was on Idol before. He's pretty funny about the song choices.

Of course, at first I thought they'd have to pick songs *only* from Tarantino movies, which could have been sort of interesting.
