On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I don't watch Big Brother, but one of my friends was basically having a heart attack on Twitter the entire time. I take it it was bad?

Mostly surprising! And makes me want to stop watching.

Because books.

Jesus, Project Runway is a hot mess this season.

Thrive to spite them

Are the contestants a hot mess or the challenges?

Because books.

Both, really. I'm still boggling over the stilts challenge.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, it's a combination of factors leading to hot mess.

I think it's kind of hilarious that Josh is officially a winner but it's Anya's dress that will be sold on Amazon. And I'm glad Anthony is staying even though his look was really very bad indeed.

Phew, and I hadn't even seen the beginning with Cecilia 'til just now due to technical difficulties. I'm not sure what to think about that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Mostly surprising! And makes me want to stop watching.

Because Jeff is gone?

I am going to laugh and laugh and laugh if Jordan wins again.
