I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Did they even do the close-up examination of the final make-ups? I don't remember it.

They definitely didn't inspect them afterward, which I would have been interested in -- did they all hold up equally well in motion?

I was thinking while I was watching that it's nice for Face Off that effects makeup is generally meant to be filmed so what we see on TV is kind of a good representation of how well it's working

Yeah, that's a good point.

That's true.

On The Voice, do we think Mackenzie actually likes these songs the best? I kind of think he's consciously going after the teenybopper vote, but wonder what he does on his own.

Also, why is it still fun to watch when Trevin is going to win? Because I think it is.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ARGH My DVR thought the Voice ended at 9:00, and I didn't notice it until 9:15 or so.

I just saw Feb. 7th as Community's return date. Sorry if that's repeat info. February feels very far away.

Am shocked and sad about De'Borah! Otherwise, I think I feel OK about America's + the coaches' choices.

Jesse is me.

I haven't understood most of Christina's choices all season.

Relatedly, although I'm sort of hating this season of The X Factor, I love that they are revealing the voting rankings.

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

Looks like today's Mythbusters is the one with the cannonball that did all the damage. The apologies seem pretty good.
