Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Because books.

I like Nicole a lot, as well as Abdi, even if he didn't quite let go this week the way he could have. I thought what Nicole did was really interesting, and Peregrine's was outrageous. So cool.

Ryan totally missed the mark with this challenge, although I thought Miles did, too.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

how the hell you make a ballet out of Don Quixote

It's Don Quixote or Kitri's Wedding - one segment of the book made into a ballet.

Because books.

Project Runway is premiering Thursday! I didn't realize it was so soon. I also didn't realize it's apparently going to be 90 minutes every week now? Which is really going to screw with watching other stuff. Weird.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh wow, I had no idea! (The problem with the show being on Lifetime now is it's the only thing I watch on that network, so I never see any promos to remind me when it's on.)

Exactly, Jess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess they incorporated the model show into the regular show? Meh. I am not excited -- I think they need to go longer between season! Wasn't there just one?

I taped, but haven't watched yet. I was wondering if I should bother.

I don't think so (or I hope not). I think that Models has been scrapped.

I thought about it, but I hate Gordon Ramsey.
