Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's the weekend, I'm watching random reality shows. Can you imagine going through life named CROSBY LOGGINS. I mean, seriously, Kenny, what were you thinking? t /Rock the Cradle

Like, if I'm not the only person watching this particular train wreck, I'm sure the reason Heather hated Daisy so much is that she assumed she would be sleeping with Bret while they were in Vegas, but Daisy was instead

OK, so I wasn't watching this show (and didn't watch the first season) but then my friend that I make watch ANTM and Pussycat Dolls with me made me watch it, so...I agree with you? And think Daisy is a TRAINWRECK? And think he likes that but will get sick of it? And was SOOOO glad to find out I wasn't just crazy, and that Ambre girl really was older than 31 or whatever she claimed she was.

Also, I am unenthused and annoyed by Top Model. Seriously, if Anya ends up the winner I might have to not watch next season just to avoid her scary sounding commercials. OTOH, they did make Jaslene a winner and seem to have sent her for some vocal coaching, so who knows?

Yes. Oh yes.

And think he likes that but will get sick of it?

And did, by the end of the show!

Yeah, she's 37 or 38 -- practically age-appropriate for Bret!

Art Crawl!!!

The President is going to be on Deal or No Deal.

The Futoncritic wouldn't be playing with us, right?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I already don't watch the show, so let me affirm my choice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Caught up on Survivor last night - go Cirie! Way to scheme!

Ozzy's farewell speech was my second favorite ever "To the person in my alliance who switched, I pretty much hate you." BWAH!

(My favorite one, for those who are counting, is Hunter's "And when you all DIE of starvation without me" speech from whichever season that was.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think that was season 4, Jessica. That was back when I was watching Survivor.

Yeah, it was one of the early ones. Good times!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Catching up on ANTM (after a loooong absence):

I was sorry to see Claire go; I liked her!

I don't think Lauren's going to last much longer - the attitude and poor personality aren't going to make up for the terrific photos.

Dominique can leave anytime - I am SO over the eyebrow thing!

Fatima - eh. She photographs beautifully, but she was playing mind games early on, which put me off her. And the whole losing her travel documents thing - she's been trying to project herself as the classy, responsible one!

Whitney - I love that she's lasted this long. But you know, she's the "plus size" girl this season ... she wears a size 10 (boggles).

Anya - the accent is annoying, but she's doing a really good job. And she's been NICE - it's almost as though because she hasn't been a bitch, hasn't been in cat fights, the other girls aren't noticing that she's doing well. I think she may end up winning ... but they often do switches, where someone does really well right until the last few episodes and then someone comes up from behind and wins. So ... we'll see.
