It occurs to me that, since I've been having trouble getting up lately, maybe I should switch out my alarm's current CD (Grieg's "Peer Gynt: Morning Mood") for "O Fortuna". That would certainly get one's blood going.

Because books.
It was The Omen !
Which just made it weird for me, because that's the first and only time/place I had heard it so ... I expected Gregory Peck or someone to come out brandishing a cross.
I'm not sad about either of the elims. My people are still in it!

Ok. Since I can't even remember who Jonathan is, I'm happy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
happy with the results. The look of complete destruction on Vitolio's face when they are announced in bottom three. That face I see quite a bit, it is devastating.
I am looking forward to Karla with him.

Frankly, I blame Asuka for vitolio's being in the bottom three. I think that people just didn't like her.
I really liked Cat's tribute to Farrah with the jumpsuit and hair.

I think you're right, but I really don't think Karla's level is better than Asuka's. Of course, maybe that's because she's been dancing with Jonathan.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Perfect eliminations tonight. Bye bye, Stank Face. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I think Vitolio will do much, much better with Karla and vice versa. I enjoyed Karla's solo tonight, even though she did fall out of every single turn. Lots of quirky and interesting movement. I'm not sure they'll be as succesful a new couple as Kayla and Kupono turned out to be. Really, I'd love it if they paired Caitlin with Vitolio. Her solo tonight was beautiful again. She really sparkles away from Jason, but together they just don't mesh. I think she and Vitolio could be quite good together. And then Jason could wind up with Karla and I wouldn't care if they went next.
I thought the group dance was quite well done. I give NappyTab a hard time, but I have to give much respect to them tonight. The routine was saucy and sexy. Brandon continues to kill everything he's given on the show. I really want to see Janette do salsa now. I wonder if they got anyone to replace Alex?

Trust my rage
So I just now got around to seeing this week's Top Chef Masters. I enjoyed seeing Wilo Benet. I've eaten at Paya a few times - good food for the most part. I also learned something about tripleta - something I've never eaten because street vendors make me just a tiny bit nervous, especially when I'm not sure what I'm getting. The French guy was annoying.
eta: Oh, and Wilo's charity is the foundation associated with the hospital that kicked Ellie out because we didn't fork over 3K upfront. Everyone says it's a great hospital; htat just wasn't our experience.
