Agreed!

Because books.

I feel vaguely guilty that I gave up on Under the Gunn (because Tim Gunn! I love Tim Gunn!). But it was so boring.

I've got the the last three languishing on my DVR. It's not compelling watching, but it's interesting enough to have on while I do something else without making me feel like I'll have to rewind if I miss a bit. I'll get to them, probably.

OK, I've been catching up on Under the Gunn and I'm about halfway through the finale now. I like all four of the collections that are showing, so I'm pleased. That's really all I need, a bunch of pretty clothes to look at.

information libertarian

People, I am still so obsessed with Pentatonix. Especially in the Daft Punk video, for which I am responsible for at least 200 of the 50 million views, and in which I am so attracted to Mitch despite him being a) young enough to be my son b) gay and c) (possibly most importantly) clearly quite short.

I didn't love the finale performance for Face Off - I think making light the theme made the stage too dark to really be able to appreciate the make ups. But I'm totally pleased with the winner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, ditto. Before watching the finale, I thought it would be (in case I'm not the last person to watch!) Tyler, but he literally gets enough joy just from being there that I don't feel bad for him.

I have to say, I was kind of disappointed that the top 5 or whatever was all male, but am glad about the racial/ethnic diversity, at least.

Agreed on your whitefont. As the judges pointed out Rashaad was in the top on almost every challenge, although he didn't win very many. He was an early favorite of mine. Great makeups from everyone, really.

I noticed when the last woman left (Chloe?) that the guys commented on it and I appreciated that the subtext was that it was unusual and unexpected that they were all male at that point.

Crazy that two of the finalists had very pregnant wives at home.

Yeah, that was nuts.

So many things to enjoy about Face Off! Who knew it would have good politics??

It's a very pleasant bonus!
