Fucking fuck. They are fucking jackhammering the road outside my apartment window and it is fucking MIDNIGHT. Jackhammering! Who the fuck jackhammers a residential street at midnight?! For two nights in a row?!

They spent two nights last week resurfacing my street (well, ripping off the old surface, haven't so much replaced it yet.) It's probably something along those 'not frelling traffic' lines.

Why is there stupid spy music on 24?

Are banjoes involved?

Uh oh. I just got an image of the voice-over guy from Dukes of Hazzard doing 24 instead. Punishment is swift and merciless!

I think the composer got bored. They've been sort of edging towards that music all season, and I think this week they just said "Fuck it, we're doing the James Bond twangy thing."

I hope they've moved into "solely for my personal amusement" territory, also known as "Benny Hill finally gets the recognition he deserves" territory.

Damn, and they just wrote Liesha Cuthbert out again, because she would rock the Benny Hill nurse outfit.

TAR: Yeah, Lake's an ass, but you (I) never got that "two seconds away from actual violence" vibe from him. And Michelle, unlike Victoria, wasn't all deny-deny-deny - you could see that V. was hurting and trying to hide it, where Michelle was all "whatever, jackass" about the whole thing.

Just heard a great boys-choir version of "Sloop John B" being used for a commercial for Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch" (which is an addicting show, BTW). Now I want to find the entire song.

Voice-over guy? That's Waylon Jennings! And that would be FANTASTIC. "'Round about this time, Jack felt like he was running a Waffle House and was fresh out of syrup... because he'd poured the last bottle over a terrorist staked to an anthill."

That would be perfect!

I have to jump on the bandwagon re: TAR's Jonathan & Victoria vs. Lake & Michelle -- Lake is annoying but Jonathan was abusive. There's really no contest for worse couple.

Nora, yes -- TAR is at 8 Eastern from now on. Well, until they decide to change it again, but I hear it's doing better at 8 than it was at 10 so probably from now on.

Top Chef: Man, Tiffani just has it in for Miguel. It's like she's more insulted by his lapses as a chef than she is by Andrea and Dave who really are out of their depth. Meanwhile, Stephen who lost no time in jumping on the bandwagon and selling out Miguel did say that Dave and Andrea were the weakest. I am very glad that LeeAnn won the elimination challenge.

Next week's episode looks like lots of fun, did you catch whether it's going to be teams of three (LeeAnn, Miguel and Harold? Tiffani, Dave and Stephen?) or teams of two (LeeAnn & Miguel; Tiffani & Dave; Harold & Stephen?)

Kristen and I spent a small fortune at the Container Store this afternoon, because I've been losing my shit about storage problems.

They brought out our purchases on a HUUUUGE cart.

Then sort of looked warily at Kristen's VW Bug.

Through some ungodly Tetris skills Kristen has, every last thing fit into the Bug.

It's late, and I'm still not done tossing stuff and organizing the closet.

Tired. Need cool bath. THIRSTY.
