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

With one key exception - when the handful of teams sat there and waited for the desk to open to get on standby, and acted like it was some kind of outrage when the baseball chicks went and found someone who could.

Made me like them a whole lot better, and the others a whole lot less.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do think it was great to see airline/flight shenanigans on the show, and not just have everyone on the same one or two flights.

On The Voice, I am enjoying the hell out of these battles!

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

I love that airport drama is back! I've missed it these past few seasons.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You know, the "helpful" travel agent managed to screw Chester & Ephraim over twice (meaning well, of course) because not only did she lose them the first, best flight, but then she contacted them with the skeezy three-connection route. So, if they'd joined the pack with the second-best flights, they'd have been in a competitive situation.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Watching Top Chef NOLA - I had to laugh when local chef Justin mentioned losing to Commander's chef Tory McPhail in this year's Southern Chef James Beard Award, because I know one of his sous chefs who said that he was incensed at losing and would scream at every mistake made by saying that's why he lost to McPhail.

I know that my beloved kale with bacon and an egg on top is like the epitome of 2012 food, but I still fucking love it!!

Project Runway: OH THANK GOD.

They freaked me out during the judging.

Because books.

I did feel like they all did pretty well, though! There wasn't one stand-out awful collection. Justin had a lot of pieces I actually liked, and so did Alexandria, although there's no doubt the only women who can wear her clothes well are toothpicks.

I wanted to like Bradon's more than I did, because I love Bradon, but I'm super happy Dom won.
