Twitter FTW! Even just a few seasons ago, that would have cost them the race for sure.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I recently read Tim Gunn's book on his golden rules - seemingly he has a problem with parents who come to him with a story about how their child is a fashion genius and MUST be on Project Runway ... said child being, well, a child of anywhere from 12 to 15. And won't take the answer that there's an age requirement as a reason why they shouldn't.

sumi - if that's in response to my post, it was in a chapter titled "The World Owes You ... Nothing". With a number of examples of people who don't grasp this concept.

I liked the first place couple -- laughed at her comment about never feeling so Asian.
The Confucian saying task would have stymied me because my audial processing is so poor. But I would have started saying the words along with the telephone recording until I got it straight. It doesn't bode well for the Twins that they were flustered so bad, so early.

Someone please stop me from eating something right now since, even though I'm totally hungry, I'm going to be at Traci des Jardins' Jardinière in 90 minutes!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Watching SYTYCD S7 repeats.
Billy and Anya's Jive to Paradise by the Dashboard light was such crack, and not really in a good way.

Isn't he awesome?! Definitely draws your eye, amongst all that orange and lime green.
They're my early favorites for this bracket, too, because even though they picked a rather obvious go-to song (who can go wrong with Stevie???), they really nailed it.
I also loved the old-school doo-wop group, because they know their genre down to the ground. I was tapping my toe from the first note.
Yet again, I knew who would be gone before they announced the bootees. Those high school kids were good, but very show-group in their presentation and performance. I would love it if another group did a showtune but with a twist, not as faithfully as the kids sang their songs.
