I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being fired by the country's Supreme Court.

That's funnier because I'm rereading Sock right now. Although -- does the judge himself actually admit that his little friends are imaginary? Probably not. That's too bad, because it'd be pretty cool if he did.

Fox News topped a poll for most trusted news source for Americans.

It isn't quite as scary when you read that the top spot was still only 11% though.

What is even happening?

C'mon - Angel ran a law firm for a year - his advice has gotta be worth something....

I don't know. Let me tell you something, when it's dark and I'm all alone and I'm scared or freaked out or whatever, I always think, 'What would Buffy do?'.

Of course then I remember I'm not endowed with preternatural strength and freak out again, but that's neither here nor there.

Sean -- so was I!

Top Chef: Wow, the promos were really no indication at all! I was fully expecting Harold to be in big trouble and for the main ingredients to be disgusting. I also thought meanly of how much Stephen would have enjoyed the ingredients but also that he wouldn't have been able to do them justice. I was very pleased that Harold did so well and also that Dave pulled off his dish as well. I was very disappointed that Lee Anne didn't make it to the final -- is she Top Chef's Austin Scarlett? Now, Harold MUST WIN.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The Top Chef white font is taunting me. I have to wait for Dave to get home to watch it.

sumi, re Top Chef:

I was thinking the same thing about Stephen, and how he would have flipped to work with those ingredients, and how he wouldn't have done them justice. I almost wish he had been in the top four, because he would have botched it so bad, he'd be a clear loser. But he also didn't have what it took to get that far, so I hope he's livid, and from the previews for next week, it looks like he is.

Then go with a Buffy character with no supernatural abilities. "What would Xander do?"

Also, Top Chef fans -- be sure to read Tom's Blog this week -- it's VERY interesting.

He'd think of what Buffy was wearing, which probably has a different effect on a 39 year old housewife and mother of three, than it does on 20-something year old males.

Okay, another Buffy character. Willow, nope, magic superpowers. Oz, nope, werewolf. Giles, well he's British but that's not a superpower. There you go, "What would Giles do?"
