Unrelatedly: I'm wondering...venus.provocateuse.com? distaff.provocateuse.com? women.provocateuse.com? girlclub.provocateuse.com?
I'd go with distaff—it'll screen for a more literate class of pervs.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Because books.
Jesse, I don't think that was it. I don't think it helped, but I think the bigger problem was: not enough time, not enough people experienced in catering an event that size (and therefore not knowing how to get courses on out schedule and hot). So glad that Stephen's gone -- he really is a train wreck. That ego! That absolute lack of common sense! I just couldn't look away.
Enjoying the show much more than I thought I would.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, totally, AmyLiz. Also the general freakout. I also enjoyed what's her name trying not to call the grooms "the Scotts" when their friends apparently did.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sarameg, I hope Mr. Kitty is okay and that he comes home soon.
I missed all the va jay jay talk. That makes me kind of sad.
Oh, Perkins -- in classic my-postal-delivery-person fashion, today I got the package slip, dated 4/20. So, tomorrow -- shooooz!
yay?
Today lasted about a brazillian hours, and I forgot to watch Alias. I did get a staff appreciation breakfast, an umbrella, and some nice notes though

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well, I think the salmon was definitely a victim of the supermarket shopping -- if they'd had time to go down to the fish market in the morning, they could have gotten some much better fish (and for less $$) -- apart from being SO HAPPY that Stephen's finally gone, I'm really glad Harold didn't go home because of that, since it really wasn't his fault.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Top Chef:
SO GLAD Stephen is gone. He is such a freaking egotistical asshole. I want to hurt him. In the non-fun sort of way.

What's a good tasty way to cook greenbeans?
Steam them just until they're a nice bright green and still crunchy, then season (to taste) with sea salt -- or table salt -- and pepper, and balsamic vinegar (if you like it). Top with crumbled feta cheese.

Jess, I wonder -- it seemed like the problems with the salmon really were with the cooking? Not sure. This is the main problem with this show -- no way for us to taste the food!

I really hope that Mister Kitty improves quickly, sara!
I was moaning in the Lost thread earlier that, after TAR, there was nothing to watch tonight (since I don't watch Alias, Bones, or Top Chef). But, I found a wonderful concert version of South Pacific on PBS. Damn, does Brian Stokes Mitchell have an amazing voice!! And Reba wasn't too bad as Nellie, either. Funniest thing was seeing Alec Baldwin decked out in the Luther getup for "Honey Bun."

Art Crawl!!!
Okay:
TAR: Very enjoyable. I was a bit surprised to see the shared antipathy between the Hippies and Mojo. At least Fran and Barry got to win a leg before they said goodbye.
Alias: OMG, Alias has been so enjoyable since it's return. It was just fun and funny all the way through. I mean there was Will! And Anna Espinosa! And Rambaldi! And Spy!Granpa saying something about not leaving edged weapons around babies, "Especially Bristow girls," and providing the most amusing government trained babysitters ever! Did you laugh out loud when they revealed that Will had a bomb in his head? So so funny.
Top Chef: Seriously, I think the big place they went wrong was in deciding to pull an all-nighter. And there was really no reason for it. Plus, at the point at which Harold got to the fish counter and realized that he wasn't going to find the kind of fish he wanted -- he really should have gone to LeeAnne and said, "Give me 'x' amount of money - I'll pick up the fish in the morning." I think that the boxed cake was a TERRIBLE idea -- esp. when one of your clients says that dessert is his thing. They should have bought what they could that first day, baked the cake and then planned on rising very early and getting to the fish market first thing. They didn't even start serving hors d'oeuvres (sp?) until 3:30 -- right ? And really, Stephen was asking to be eliminated. You don't get told to do something by a judge in one episode and then turn right around and not do it the next challenge. The funny and yet sad thing is that Stephen has not one clue that he did anything wrong.
Back to Alias - it was so much fun to see Syd and Will again. And the wacky accents? "Was he speaking in Portuguese?" "That's a dead language!" - or something. . . in ridiculous Mock!French accents.
