Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Second paragraph was about Another World reruns. I'm addicted. Tangentially I just found out that Jason Dohring is going to play Timothy McVeigh.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Project Runway:

I am SO SO SO irritated at sthe chick from BR.

Half their Holiday line looked like Nick and Santino's line.

Seriously.

This is fucking brilliant, and I want it. I was envisioning more of a dead-man's handle sort of thing, but I'm not picky--as long as it works.

Art Crawl!!!

Project Runway -- Bonbon did you get to vote for the best window ?

Aimee -- I might agree with you if I didn't hate Santino sooooo much -- my hatred of him grows with every episode. Although, I admit to not being able to wait to see the trainwreck of an over decorated thing he creates as a figure skating costume.

I hate Santino as well,

but I didn't want my Nick to have to go cause Santino is an ass.

Oh, I totally agree Nick cannot be eliminated!!! I'm very sad that we didn't get to see what he and Chloe could have made together.

I really like the way things went this time -- in terms of my personal ideas of who was first to last -- because it matched.

Aimée, I actually agreed with BR chick. Their holiday line didn't seem nearly as...costumey (?) to me as the Santino/Nick outfit. That jacket Santino fought for made no sense to me. If I wanted my shoulders to be twice the width of my body, I'd be an NFL linebacker.

And BTW, I HATE that I couldn't wish for Santino to get the boot. My Nicky love. It is too great.

I, like sumi, kind of agreed with the judges tonight. And, in suprise of surprises, found myself liking Zulema. She pulled their asses out of the fire with that dress (even if the jacket blew) and she had my second favorite remark of the evening, "You can cry if you want to, just cry and cut, girl. Cry and cut." Too. Hilarious.

My favorite remark of the evening, of course, is Uncle Nicky's, "Just the fact that you don't see a thousand trims on it? You know I have tamed the beast." Love. Him.

What is even happening?

It brings back wading through BBOvenGuy's stuff
That's who he is, Robert A. Black.
I remember. Believe me. I remember.
Tangentially I just found out that Jason Dohring is going to play Timothy McVeigh.
Eww. I mean, good for Dohring, but I don't want to watch him in that, because I like Dohring, and don't so much like terrorists and mass murderers.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

In a moment of inspiration, I made blueberry muffins last night, so I've had a couple for breakfast. Which fills me with probably unearned optimism for the day ahead, but hey, I'll take what inspiration I can get!

Anonymity vs. Accountability. I do agree that it's not so much about who you call yourself, but who you are. I don't know if it's a shift in identity, or something that'll stick past the burgeoning of the internet, but I'm comfortable having one name here, three on LJ, my full name on LinkedIn, etc. Each of them is accountable, even though they're all fragmented. Even this ID, now. This isn't all of me.
