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.

The final season of Face Off started last night.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

They started a new season of So You Think You Can Dance on Monday. They don't seem to be doing anything gimmicky, but I missed the first part of it.

And I'm watching Meet the Lords on PBS - it's a behind the scenes look at the House of Lords ... it has its moments.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I am not loving the new gimmick on MasterChef. Hopefully once the season gets going the judge's team thing will calm down a little.

World of Dance is on as well. There are some amazing dancers this year and a few have come back . One couple almost got a perfect score for the qualifying round. They also changed the groupings so now there are upper and junior teams. I can't remember the exact divisions lasy year but they had so many good juniors they accomdated for it.

World of Dance is so shiny, but not necessarily in the good way. It's 100% Glitz! and Lights! and Excitement!, which seems so horribly American. That said, it's a little more satisfying than SYTYCD because you get some results right away. But SYTYCD will always have my heart.

MasterChef is always sort of annoying to me, and I stopped watching after Bastianich left. So I'm watching again! He's so pompous and egotistical, but I inexplicably love him.

I saw SYTYCD started but I haven't watched! I'm not a huge fan of the audition shows, until they get to Vegas.
