I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Ack you're killing me with the Project Runway spoilers! (Spoilish anyway...right?)

Spoilish but not really because we don't actually KNOW anything.

I'm wondering if, unlike last year, where Austin didn't know he was showing a collection until a month before, 4th place designer (having watched last year) prepared a collection in the same amount of time as the top three.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Heh, this from the Wikipedia entry on Agony of Defeat guy, Vinko Bogataj:

He appeared in the pilot episode of the television sitcom Scrubs as a patient whom two of the main characters shock with defibrillation paddles because they thought he was in cardiac arrest, only to dicover when he wakes up screaming in pain that he was merely sleeping.

Right. You're looking at pics of the actual collections, right? They do all of the final four so that's the what you don't know. Who will be OUT next week?

Exactly.

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

Just thinking the words "agony of defeat" makes my chest get tight. We're a sports-dysfunctional family.

Never much cared for winter sports, but I did wear the Jamaican bobsledder sweatshirt. As did my parents. And sister. It was a pretty ugly design. See above.

It certainly seems harder to figure out this year which was the foiler collection. I think they learned from their mistake last year. God knows, I can't figure out who got the short end of the stick.

Though, someone mentioned, elsewhere, that it's still kind of a win. I mean, you don't get a chance at the big prize but you showed at Fashion Week. That's better than a kick in the head.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I have no idea how much of the Olympics I'll watch. Probably have it on in the background for part of the time...

I'm a geek in that I'm buying some videotapes to have on hand if there's something I'd like to see and won't be home to watch it. Then again, I can always use new blank tapes, so I'd probably buy them even if the Olympics weren't on. (What I really need is a DVR, I think.)

Our wings are not tired

I'm trying to remember the last time I purchased a new blank video tape. I want to say it was probably 1999 or 2000.

I don't even have a VCR hooked up in the house any more. I do have a nice JVC S-VHS VCR, but it's down in the garage with all my other spare audio and computer gear, and rental stock.
