Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People who watch Food Network Challenge might be interested to know that Buddy Velastro (?) is getting his own show on TLC.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The party I'm going to tonight is at this restaurant, which proudly proclaims on their website:

Grand Winner FOOD NETWORKS "CHOPPED"!!

TAR: Oh, snap, Margie. "You should understand because you're black"?? I'm going to say they were equally bitchy at the clue boxes, but maybe would give Luke a tiny pinch of benefit of the doubt for not being able to hear someone running up behind him or something. Not that he wouldn't totally shove anyone out of his way.

Punishingly Intricate

The fighting on TAR stressed me out too much. My stomach hurts!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I continue to find myself annoyed by Luke. Any shoving at a box is ridic so the sisters are making me all @@ too, but wow was he projecting a lot on to them there at the end.

Some damn fine performances on AI, tonight. I'm digging on Kris, Danny and Adam so bad.

TAR: The fighting was intense. The look on Phil's face was priceless. I thought he'd step in and mediate in some way, actually.

Survivor: I'm bummed about Brendan! I was rooting for him anyway (or JT whom I, yes, love) plus I had B in the office pool. Darn. Should've played the idol, dude.

I loathe Tyson; he's a world class weasel. At least Coach is entertaining. Plus, you know, he'd fit right in around Nor Cal. He seems almost normal to me.
