On Alias, I totally expected Will to pull out a golden umbrella at the end of his speech to Syd. It was very sweet, though. I wonder how he'd explain her to his fiance?

And Jack, with the keeping edged weapons away from Bristow girls! LOVE.

Top Chef, I'm sure Harold could have done more with the salmon than he did, but that fish looked awful. The eyes were cloudy, and the skin was oily -- it did not look fresh. And in San Fransisco, there's really no excuse for buying fish that sad looking. There's an ocean RIGHT THERE. He should have bought the frozen wild salmon, IMO. (Alternately, having bought the crappy farmed salmon, he should have spiced it up a bit, and not served it as whole fillets, because that kind of presentation is really about showcasing a great piece of fish.)

I was really disappointed that nobody thought they could bake a cake. I mean, come on, I can make a simple white cake. Yes, doing a three-tiered cake takes some skill, but it's not rocket science. If you can stir, you can make a cake. If you're nervous, use the money you saved by not buying cake mix to buy a goddamn cookbook.

Top Chef: I agree about the cake. Tiffani going on and on about the cake falling ... my husband makes cakes from scratch all the time, and they've never fallen.

Hope the sinuses have improved. Mine have become a rather annoying barometer. Face hurting? Expect winds in five minutes.

A friend of mine gets migraines whenever there is a hurricane in the eastern portion of the country. Last year sucked for her.

Morning report: zen. And my eyes are protesting this whole thing. Must try cucumbers or teabags or something tonight. Verry odd putting eyeliner on when the surface is about three times its normal area.

Top Chef:

I was awfully concerned at the end that they were going to toss Harold, between the fish and his admitting that he suggested using cake mix. And I think I might have had an aneurysm if Stephen hadn't been the one to go.

I've been awake for about 20 minutes, and I've already had cat pee on my foot.

Does that seem right to you?

Hayfever season started for me about two days ago. I usually only get the symptoms in the mornings at the beginning of summer, but its still more than enough.

Jessica and Amyliz - I am totally with you on the cake thing. To me, the difficulty in making the wedding cake is the construction and decoration -- between the five of them, one of them surely can bake a simple cake.

I've been awake for about 20 minutes, and I've already had cat pee on my foot.

It could be worse. It could be a cat who peed on your foot (which I originally read, and thought ok, what did she do to piss them off?)

This way, it isn't your fault!

Work. I need to do work.

This is a good point, sarameg. Any Mr. Kitty news this morning?

None yet. Unless one of the docs had a sudden opening last night, the u/s is today. Mister Kitty's main vet is out today, but the other doc knows what is going on, so I'll probably get a call later with a status report.
