PR: Daniel Vosovic tells Santino that he should have gone home but in different words than that.

I am so angry at PR right now!!! NO WAY should Santino have been saved -- he is so TOTALLY the Wendy Pepper of this season.

My order of finish for this week's episode:
1. Chloe - that was a really lovely piece of work. I cannot believe that was her very first attempt at menswear.
2. Kara -- also an excellent job -- just not the "wow" of Chloe's.
3. Nick -- hey, it fitted and was finished and Daniel seemed comfortable in it.
4. Daniel -- UGLY -- ill-fitted and not finished. But at least it wasn't falling apart and she didn't have to be glued into it.
5. Santino - in my world he would have been out a while ago but definitely tonight. Ill-fitting, ugly and falling apart. Yuck.

It amuses me that the top three (for me) were all menswear, surely that should have counted against Santino more?

Hey, TNT ran the very first episode of Alias tonight!

I have vacation envy, Perkins. Have a tequila for me.

I love Allyson's new glasses.

I need to go to bed soon. I am not grading, so I might as well be sleeping.

Have a tequila for me.

OKAY!

PR: I AM CRYING! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT MY NICK!!

That was totally producer's pick for television. Santino makes for "better teevee". SO ANGRY. The fact that Santino has been part of the final two SO DAMNED often should have been the deciding factor and Nick's ambition should have gotten more points. The suit might not have had pockets, but at least IT WAS FINISHED. And Daniel liked it!! Kara hated what she had on.

I'ma join forces with Sumi and Jesse and we're gonna go dress Michael Kors in stuff from Wal-Mart. ALL POLYESTER.

Severe envy over here, myself.

Of the Polyester?

Yes. It's much easier to assuage than envy of the Galapagos.

This is probably true.

PR: Oh Uncle Nicky. You was robbed. I mean, your outfit kinda sucked but it wasn't like anyone had to GLUE it on to Daniel.

I also missed the preview for next week but someone at TWOP said that Jay was in it and said something to Santino like, "I hope you get canned."

They're reairing tonight's ep now so, hopefully, I'll catch it this time.

Wake up, East Coast. I'm not sleeping.

Allyson's new glasses look fab and Jesse-esque. Also Allyson they have the virtue of being writerly.

Emmett got better by yesterday afternoon. He ventured out of the house for the first time in three days and we went to the Panhandle (not the Texas one) and looked for acorns and dog-encounters. Then by the hardware store for more wood-working tools. It was unbelievably gorgeous and unseasonably warm yesterday. In the 70s.

After work today I have to BART over to the East Bay and meet up with the other baseball coaches (just for our team, so that's three of us) at the Triple Rock to go over our draft strategy. Draft strategy! For 9 & 10 y.o.s!

Emmett's best friend made a late transition up to Triple A, so I'm going to try and nab him in the draft as a low pick.
