No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yay, SYTYCYD night with bon bon and bob bob. Bonus if it happens to fall on an evening when either Miss Debbie Allen or Jesse Tyler Ferguson are guests on the judges panel.

We are totally doing this!

You do live in LA now, right?!

I do! Well, technically, it's Inglewood, but all the better for keeping me close to the street dancers.

So, I turned on the TV and am watching the Pioneer Woman show. I know that part of the schtick is that she's got this throwback husband, but is it always so sexist? For this episode, the guys and the kids are elsewhere and she's doing a "Girls Dinner", so there are undoubtedly going to be some comparison for taste, but it seemed a little much.

I'm still using mjsbigblog although I think rickey.org has sytycd too. It's not everything, but it's more than nothing and it's usually pretty quick.

Because books.

Anyone going to watch The Great Escape on TNT tonight? It looks like a lot of fun.

Is that the cooking show? (I only saw it a few times, and that was a while ago.) I do remember that she did all the cooking of course, since it was her cooking show, while her husband and the cowboys were out herding cattle and such. But then after they ate lunch the men did the dishes, which I thought was a nice touch.

Art Crawl!!!

I think it's less about the men doing the big work (because her daughters do outside ranch stuff too) and more about her being somebody who just does the cooking, blogging and other writing.

So it may be sexist but it is certainly alot about the life of somebody who lives the life of a very wealthy woman.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I watched the first two eps and they were really fun. Not as addictive as TAR, but still good.
