I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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

Me neither. I certainly need a break, and none of the All Stars from the promos are making me want to watch, so I think I'll sit this one out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'll at least half-ass sitting it out -- not tape it, but possibly watch on-demand....

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

Hmph. Finally caught up on PR and I have to say I don't understand what the judges like. I thought Dmitry's collection was weird and awkward looking. Fabio's was far and away the best in terms of design whether or not I would personally wear any of the clothes. (Melissa's were the ones I wanted to wear, no surprise. Upscale Semi-Goth With High Collars is so very very much my comfort zone.)

But still, I thought Fabio should have won. Everyone else just made clothes. He put on a runway show.

I agree, Jessica.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Caught up on TAR and agree on all points.

Long Hair Don't Care is going to be in much better physical shape next episode, even if their task was time consuming because they just didn't get so beat physically. I was surprised that the fish in a barrel task didn't take longer for some of those teams. Maybe it was clear which bags had been rifled through.

But yeah, those are the legs I wouldn't be that great at. Navigation in a crowded city, lots of seriously physical labor.

And I like the twinnies despite the incessantness of their cheerleading. I would probably have asked them to chill a bit if I were their opposition, but when they didn't, you can hardly blame them, because it was all positive! But it would definitely have been wearing if you were right there. I think I would have been okay with it because of my highly developed teacher skill of tuning shit out.

I also like the Chippendales. Something about the combination of their accent and their enthusiasm. They talk about a temper, but I haven't really seen it yet. Maybe next week?

I am shocked at how much I like the Chippendales! The twins would drive me fucking batshit at the challenges, but maybe I'd like them in the rest stops?

Drag Race All-Stars is back, bitches!

Thrive to spite them

Anyone watch RuPaul's Drag Race all stars?

There was a new concept where the queens had to compete in teams, and they had to do a sort of match game where they picked who they wanted to be partnered with. Pandora got stuck with Mimi Imfurst, the queen who had a total meltdown on her season. When they got partnered together, Pandora basically just gave up and they lost. I think that she would have been quite good competing on her own.
