S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

hee! I came in about a minute late, and I took one look at the dance, the costumes, and the lighting, and thought, "This is a Wade Robson dance." Lo and behold, it was. Wade needs to be careful about being too wedded to his style.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Big Brother: Aw, I feel bad for poor dumb Jessica -- Jen talking crazy about Dustin, Eric trying to avoid talking, and the poor noodle doesn't have two brain cells to rub together.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Rocco's response made me wonder if Bourdain's point is that Rocco is a better chef than he is.

That was Bourdain's point: he is not dishonoring a great talent by being a writer and tv travel show guy but Rocco did dishonor his talent by being that reality show guy.

SYTYCD: So much filler. And it's only just beginning.

Less filler than tomorrow, though...

I'm annoyed that Dan is one of the judges. Bleah. He just bores me.
