I could have posted that. I post a lot of things when I'm not sleeping.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Is it the series with Flora which is currently airing? I think so.
Flora lives in the same valley as my parents and they know her mum and dad quite well. In fact, when my two were small and we went to visit, my parents borrowed Flora's old high chair for them to use. Our brush with fame....
I've told them to get at least two signed copies of her book when it finally comes out, one for each child. They love Bake-Off. C. is turning into a pretty fine baker herself.

I want to know what lipstick Flora is using--it's gorgeous!!! (Up to episode 4--for some reason, my PBS station showed ep 2 yesterday, ep 2 has been up on PBS.org for almost a week...and then one of the other PBS stations (WETA) has through ep 4 up on their website! So confusing)

I think I'll be on the last one, airing July 20
And you were! Excited to see Jon on my tv in my living room. And now I don't have to watch AGT again! The format of those kind of shows is crazy making for me.
So was it a blast? Did you enjoy meeting the people and the whole experience? It is really wonderful that you got on the show. Super cool, Dude!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Damn, I missed it! Remind me to go find the clip on line tonight.

And WETA now has through episode 6! Thankfully, they were mostly things (gluten free pita? squid ink vol au vent?) that did not make me desperate to break my diet and start baking (though the frangipane...)

Whoops! Missed this.
It *was* a blast! The other contestants were very kind and supportive (not competitive at all) as were the crew. You could tell that everyone was working really hard to present you in the best light to the judges and audience. Of course, once you get knocked off, they edit your performance to make it look way worse than it was, but that didn't surprise me. What did surprise me was that I made it as far as I did!

What a great experience. I can't stand to watch such shows, but being involved is another matter altogether. I'm glad the people were cool and supportive. I can see how the theremin didn't translate well in that environment because there wasn't the time allotted to explain the process to people not previously exposed. The Holt household was delighted to see you showing off your skillz. We would not have pulled out the hook on you!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Such a cool experience, Jon! A bunch of my friends were talking about the show and were tickled that I knew you. They said you were cute.

Aww, shucks.
