Because books.

Work of Art: I'm unreasonably charmed by Sucklord tonight.

And I have a big problem with the judges' take on what's a good interpretation and what's not. I don't think visually imitating what the kids did is good art, necessarily -- I think taking the kid's piece you were given and responding/reacting to it is valid. Especially in Tewz's case.

I sort of agree about Sucklord's, though. It's so literal, just a 3D mock-up of the child's painting, that there really isn't much response (or much of him) there at all.

Punishingly Intricate

No I have to really catch up on Work of Art so I don't get accidentally spoiled for it! But I'm too tired to watch tonight's. (I LOVE THE SUCKLORD, btw)

Ack, I thought I had Sing-Off taped, but it turns out I didn't. Crankypants.

Survivor- I have not been a Brandon fan ever, but I thought he was very sweet right after the vote.

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

Yeah, Brandon had his moments tonight too. It's like the world turned upside-down.

Because books.

I think I like the new Top Chef format. And Tom was pretty BAMFy tonight, I have to say.

Art Crawl!!!

Haven't caught WoA yet.

I enjoyed Top Chef: liked the challenges they are using to pare down to 16.
