MY PAST IS NOT SOMETHING I NEED TO SHARE ON CAMERA! MY PRIVATE LIFE IS NOT FOR YOU TO TALK ABOUT! ALL I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IS MY FUTURE...
Yeah, I must just be crazy. Clearly I'm way off base on this...

and the ability to perform under pressure that's needed in last week's IC challenge.
This this this this this, so much this.
The whole time I was watching those poor people getting put through that Iron Chef Jr. cruicible, being judged by Bobby and Kat no less, I just kept thinking "that's so cruel!" Not just forcing them to compete in an Iron Chef style cook off, but then forcing them to play Kevin Brauch on top of all that? SO UNFAIR!
And yet, Amy was the only one to ace the whole thing. She should have been there on her own merits, dammit.

I can't figure out Simon Schama (who does Power of Art on PBS, he just spent an hour telling how much he hates the French painter David). Is he just naturally bitter? Is he overwhelmingly jealous that no one's going to remember him in two hundred years? Is he oneof those people incapable of separating the painting from the painter?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Is Schama a royalist? Because that would make his hatred of David somewhat understandable, if frightfully dated. The guy did die almost 200 years ago, after all.
I'm just looking forward to next week's ep on Turner--he's probably my favorite painter.

I'm not sure, he got very incensed when moving into David's period as painter to Napoleon, something about being just addicted to power, and Schama seems very offended by something about "The Death of Murat". I think Schama has a real detestation for anything resembling representationism in art, that art isn't legitimate unless smart people have to stare at it and debate its Meaning.

Yep, that's the one, Lee

Feh on him, then. Like I said upthread, I love Turner, but when it gets too fuzzy/nonrepresentational, I just tune out. Guernica is about as abstract as I can take.
