Thrive to spite them

If I was Eric, maybe I wouldn't do this one, it could really screw him up to sell out Dustin.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And America's track record has been so good up to this point...

I'm liking him less and less, but I do feel for the guy. Most of his problems are totally not his fault.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eric seriously needs to chill out. Also, why didn't he ever say, "Right. I voted to keep Nick in. Because I WANTED TO KEEP NICK IN."

Art Crawl!!!

Design Star: Wow, another double elimination this week and another next week. They're really running through these folks and I think that, for the most part, they are doing really well. At least in this challenge when it was kind of a signature style thing - and I must admit Christina and Robb really surprised me with how well they did.

I must admit Christina and Robb really surprised me with how well they did.

Me too.

The thing that bugged me about everyone's rooms (except for Surfer Dude's) was that they all kinda looked the same. The colors and accessories were different but the furniture was used and placed in the same way. They decorated but no one seemed to design anything.

I wish HGTV had up last year's recaps (or maybe I wish I could find them) because I feel as though, last year, more people reinvented the things they were given. I know that at least one person (Alice?) took apart the bookcase and made shadowboxes.

Punishingly Intricate

Jesse! Look who I ran into in Vegas!

I told her that I had had a friend from NY in town last week who had really wanted to see her in B'more and she was all "You should have called me!!!"

The. Nicest.

Art Crawl!!!

I remember that.

I think there was at least one person who turned the bookcase on it's side and hung it instead of standing it up.

I think I would've taken a chainsaw to the sofa and turned it into two slipper chairs. Anything to make it look less cookie cutter.

Art Crawl!!!

There was something blinding about all those spaces when they first came in and it was all white on white.

It felt a little like a fun house but, instead of mirrors, it was IKEA in every direction.
