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

So, I'm watching Project Runway: Junior, and the second challenge is Unconventional Materials with pool party stuff. Tim walks into the workroom for his critiques and makes a comment that it looks like a cross between Beach Blanket Bingo and Gilligan's Island and NONE OF THOSE KIDS GET THOSE REFERENCES. One of them comments that "I know Gilligan's Island is a book, but I don't know what that book is about" and another says "I Think it's from Dickens, something about pirates, maybe?".

That's not real, right? Someone told those kids to say that stuff.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I'll be watching JLo's new dance competition show on NBC. Could be great! Could be another Paula Abdul-Live to Dance style tragedy. But I really, really miss good dance on my TV, so I'm hoping for the former. Remember when we used to eagerly watch and post SYTYCD each week? I mean, that was mainly just me, but still. Good times. Good times.

Well for me it was eagerly watch and read Kat's post each week.

When does the JLo show start? I know, I should google.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

For what it's worth, the final of the Great American Baking Show is on tonight.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yay, Face Off is back! It feels like forever since we've had a new season.
