One last thing: if you are caught in quicksand (which is something different than what happens to MVW Guy when he claims to be caught in quicksand), don't struggle with it, for god's sake. Geez, I hate that guy and hate that the Discovery Channel is billing his show as something people can learn from.
Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I suspect from the sound of it that the show is the doing of Greenpeace extremists who want to fight against population growth.
Ugly Betty: Betty went to a posh Soho hotel on assignment instead of Atlantic City with Walter, so he ended up joining her and being all whiny and annoying. Betty's sister had to ask her kid's gambling father for money to help pay for Ignacio's lawyer so he'll probably show up in the next Thanksgiving episode. Salma and Daniel finally slept together with the predictable result of him actually being interested but her blowing him off because she has a boyfriend. Also in non-news, she looks hot all episode. And she ends up publishing Betty's article instead of Mode. Finally, Wil has to schmooze the Texan head of "Walmart" and ends up at what I assume is supposed to be Hogs and Heifers in the meatpacking district, but they end up in the Village at Babbo, so it's all good. Sadly, Amanda and Mark(?) were hardly in the episode, so it was a bit more serious than previous ones. Happily, we never saw Fey.
Heh. I just came across our very own Typo Boy cited in Ezra Klein's blog. I love when Buffistae pop up in other corners of my world.
Corwood, I saw a survival special on the National Geographic Channel that was hosted by a British special forces soldier who was much more informative and helpful than Survivor Man--plus, he was more low key. I don't know what it is about Les that makes me wish he get eaten by a bear (in spite of his pragmatic, sound advice).
I saw the ads for MvW and just wondered why they're doing another survival series--it's lame and redundant.
Watching Wednesday's Colbert, I think there needs to be a national movement to elect more singers.
But then you end up with Sonny Bono in Congress.
You can get that on video from Crooks and Liars, btw, for anyone who missed it.

Hmm. I think you can make an argument that he's not a singer.
Hmm. Good point.
