Punishingly Intricate

it's worth a try to have somethig social - and incentive to straighten my place up once a week.

A group of friends and I have been doing this with ANTM since...cycle 3 or something? For a long time. We used to rotate hostesses but lately it's been at my house most weeks because I'm the only one who has a DVR. And, yes, the incentive to keep the house relatively tidy (downstairs anyway) is much greater knowing there will be people in it at least once a week.

Yeah, I used ot talk with my friend Jesse about ANTM, and now I'm in Seattle so we get together and watch it!

Is the outcast tall redhead one still on it? (I was immediately partial to her because a) outcast and b) best friend Girlicious fan is a tall redhead.)

She JUST got kicked off. Very sad. They were like "We dont' see you fitting in as part of a group"...I liked her too.

Lil Kim does look very strange.

Why do I keep forgetting I live on the West Coast? What's wrong with me, I ask you!

Top Chef: love the scenes with everyone trying to sort out their Danskos. Because yes, that totally happens.
