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

I remember that there was one guy who had pattern books under his bed in the apartment and would lock himself in the bathroom with the shower running to look at them.

It sounds like she was doing it right out in the open.

Or maybe not. First it was Margarita whispering to Michael, then suddenly he's storming off and talking about it like something he has actual knowledge of...weird all around. Margarita should have spoken up when she first saw something, not pulled it out like mean girl gossip when she had gotten herself all worked up over something unrelated (and arguably unfair). Nobody came off well in all this.

Thrive to spite them

Michael said she was in the bathroom measuring. So I guess maybe she didn't have the door closed all the way or she thought she was alone.

I've seen on another board reports that Amy had an interview and said the designers had talked to production about some things (not sure if that includes the measuring tape) but were ignored so Michael walked off because that couldn't be ignored.

But that's what Margarita told him.

If Amy's right that does change things a bit

I don't think that she was gossiping. She tried to leave it alone, but then talked about it after Michael walked out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I saw Gail Simmons and Tiffani Faison talk tonight -- Gail has a cookbook out -- and they were so great! I definitely think I should just be friends with Gail.

I dont know if anyone watched the first episodes of The great American Baking Show but if yoi did those will be tbe only ones.

ABC Fired Johnny Izzuni because if sexual harassment of women but not anyone on tbe show. They are severing all ties including pulling the show.

I feel bad for tbe contestants but Im glad they took swift action

I was wondering about that! Because the stuff had come out before the first ones aired.

Because books.

I think it's a little messier than someone stepping down from office, or being fired -- other people were involved with that show, and it doesn't seem fair to them.

I'm also just annoyed because I was looking forward to the rest of it, I guess.
