Also, did anybody watch Shear Genius? I've been working nights all week and skipping like a madman? Did the first episode air before last night?

Theodore had damned well better keep that model for the rest of the show. She totally sold that 'do. When we were watching him build it, I couldn't help but think "Please tell me he's not going to put a box on her head." And the model, as she was about to start her walk, kind of rolled her eyes as if to say "I can't believe I'm about to do this.... there's a fucking BOX on my head...." But she put on her runway smile, strutted down to the end, triggered the box opening, flashed that fantastic smile, and BAM! It was awesome.

Even the judges seemed to kind of indicate with their chatter later that they thought it was going to be stupid, until the model got to their end of the runway. Like: "Oh, this is going to be stupid. There's a friggin' box on her head. BAM! That's awesome!"

She totally made the difference between his winning and losing. If she had kept a sort of this sucks attitude on her face, he might have even been going home.

Anyway, I've been looking forward to this train wreck, and wanting to see the horrible horrible things these people are going to do to other people's heads.

I watched it, Sean, on Wednesday night right after the finale of Top Design. So far, I really like Tyrone, despite his weird top to bottom crash from the first challenge to the second, and OMG was I glad to see Paul-Jean go. Yikes, he was annoying. It was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be, since Top Design was really disappointing to me on a lot of levels.

Wait, I feel like there's a flaw in that argument...

But, er, balance must be maintained!

And, anyway, the french fries didn't help, because then I found out there was a Cheney taint to everything today, and also my supervisor just sent me an e-mail that made me explode inside my head, "And how am I supposed to do that, since I don't know any-fucking-thing about this issue?"

lunda, I was right there, too! Across the street, in front of the Borders.

The Channel, but that wasn't anywhere near the Necco factory.

THAT'S IT!!! It wasn't near the factory? Somebody lied to me!

I had to turn off Shear Genius because my friends and i watched ANTM, Pussycat Dolls (man I'm so sad that the Amazon is gone! She was my fave by far) , and the Top Design finale (totally blah!) and we were completely reality showed out. It sounds like it might be worth catching.

After reading Sean's description I see there's a new reality tv show for me! Thank goodness for Bravo's endless reruns so it won't be hard to catch up.

I can't wait for Project Runway to return and Top Chef -- if they improve Top Chef over last season.

Shiny. I was in front of Ralph Lauren's slowly-taking-over-the-sidewalk cafe.

I am going to try really hard not to watch Shear Genius except on weekend marathons. I get all into the shows and insist on watching them when they air, and I should go to bed instead!

THAT'S IT!!! It wasn't near the factory? Somebody lied to me!

Nah. It was down on the waterfront near the Children's Museum. If you kept heading out of Boston past it, you went by the (Boston) World Trade Center and eventually you'd get to Southie (or Dorchester).

I haven't been watching Shear Genius because the promos made it look unbelievably lame. (Not that that stopped me from watching Top Design, but I have to draw the line somewhere, right?)
