Because books.

Uli? Uli's name is fun to say and all, but I would much rather see Sam with someone else.

Like ... Harold.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Nobody deserves mime Marcel.

Except perhaps Hung. Especially if Marcel is, indeed, Hung's monkey.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

SYTYCD: I had a hard time watching after Nigel "Birthday Boy" Lithgoe's whine about complaints about the last eliminations. Nigel is really starting to annoy me to the point where it's harder for me to even watch the dancers. Which is stupid and a shame, because I thought the dancers did well.

That synchronized swimming doc on PBS: I kept flipping over to this at the ads. I thought it was kind of hysterical. I know it's hard work, and understand that you have to be dedicated, but these people seemed to have no idea that they were talking about synchronized swimming. That one girl who moved away from family and friends and put in 6 hours a day 6 days a week because she wanted a TeamUSA jacket just made me laugh and cry. I mean, do it because you love it, but because you want a jacket? Whoah. And this was the same one who did her solo to Schindler's List. Yikes.

The thought of doing synchronized swimming to Schindler's List makes my brain go huh. Although I once saw a broadcast of a band doing a routine to Philip Glass ... that was kinda surreal.

And just out of curiousity - I missed the documentary - how do you do solo synchronized swimming?

Art Crawl!!!

Yes. That was also my question.

I guess the movements are synchronized with the music.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, and it's that style with the kicking in the air and etc. I went to a synchronized swimming competition one time, and there were solo swimmers there.

Jesse, Are you watching Big Brother?

Of course I am!

Who do you think is going to be booted first?

Does Jessica's voice make you reach for the mute button?
