Overnight buses are cheaper than I'd expect, then, at least in Thailand!
But then the taxis were expensive for all the teams -- at least it wasn't a case of one taxi driver trying to rip a team off.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Afro-Blue was fantastic. I loved it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, the whole "why are you doing this to us" speech was a bit much, when the "this" was, basically, charge the correct amount.

Killing Me Softly is the second Afro Blue song that I have purchased from iTunes. Which is EXTREMELY significant. I actually have one of their previous jazz albums back before they were famous :)

Look at you, Vortex. I need to go to Itunes and start buying some of these songs.

People seemed to really like "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", but I loved their "American Boy" even better. I suspect that by the end, I will have paid enough for individual songs to have just bought the album.

BTW, I love that the judges get along. There is none of that faux fighting bullshit that occurs in other shows. I get the sense the judges enjoy each other's comments, laughing at the jokes, etc. They may disagree, but it isn't seen as a personal affront.

I am watching Monsters-In-Law on A&E (a reality show about bad in-laws). It is a trip and a half. These in-laws are REALLY bad.
Anyone else catching this?

I thought it was going to be watch-from-the-hall bad, so avoided. The only reason I can think that families would agree to be on it is that each side believes it's the other half that will get a comeuppance.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the first one, the situation was resolved enough that they took a family vacation together! So I think they are going on the show because they don't have the wherewithal to resolve the issues themselves.
