Punishingly Intricate

Oh, this is fun -- my haircutter is in the final rounds of auditions for Shear Genius! She said she's going to hear in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed!

Ooh! Awesome! I always wanted my hairdresser to do it. She'd be highly entertaining. No way she could deal with the time limits on challenges though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, she said that was her biggest concern. I said she should incorporate her coffee cup into my hair, and do it in 20 minutes! But no.

I turned on "Any Dream Will Do" since I didn't hate last week's weeder episode. I turned it off within a few minutes, after being reminded why I don't watch American Idol, et al, and why I grit my teeth during "So You Think You Can Dance"--too many screaming young females!!! Just shut the fuck up and let me listen to the singing/watch the dancing.

I'd be force to spork myself in the eye if I had to go to a Jonas Brothers concert, wouldn't I?

No, because in that case all the screaming girls would be performing an act of mercy in drowning OUT the Jonas Brothers.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am so excited for Top Chef: Masters.

And furthermore, I am interested in the season of Top Chef after Masters to see if their experience changes their judging at all! Heh.

I think the format looks interesting. I guess they couldn't take these premiere chefs and put them in a house together for months. (Wacky hijinks ensue!) But then this format does allow a large number of contestants.

Oh, I am so glad they started with Danny, tonight! That was absolutely lovely. I actually loved the arrangement, it suited him so well.
