Doesn’t it just make you want to give Simon big long wet kisses right on his filthy mouth?

OK. I was sitting here having chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk when your post came up on my google reader… and I almost spewed milk out of my nose.

You and Tony are in a group of 4 because we frequently have to clean the pee off the heads of our dogs. Or watch them try to remove long grass which hangs from their balloon knots (I say “watch” but there has been an incident which involved removal and a needle nose pliers). Or yell at Booker for violating The Chew. I could go on…

We had a car like that in my neighborhood - the alarm was going off all the time and the owners never seemed to do anything about.

It ended up covered in broken raw eggs and canallini beans.

This is kind of sinister, really. Like you said, they’re probably just on vacation, but my mind of course immediately goes to “there are people being held captive in the basement/the house is a meth lab/baaaaaad things are happening there.”

The car alarm would REALLY piss me off, though.

I don’t know why, but this story reminds me of the time I heard three loud bangs and made a call to my local police department.  I felt like a real tool, but I was like, “It may have been gunshots.  I don’t know.” I didn’t want to not call the police and have someone be dead like Kitty Genovese.  Thankfully, nothing happened, but the cops did come zooming down the street moments later.  It’s comforting to have good cops.

Very funny; what the hell is it???

From the entry Wowsie wow wow wow! (TM Wendy), Audra said:

First, this is the gay Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Fourth of July all rolled into one with rainbow sparklers and lube.

Second, every time you say Wowsie, wow, wow all I can think is Wow, Wow, Wubsie - the children’s show I’m forced to listen to multiple days a week.

Third, Simon is right - he needs to put out a decent album.

Fourth, I’m so proud of him!!!

I know, right?  Simon Cowell’s response made me go a little soft in the niblets, too.  My friend Amy asked if I thought the Claymates would be disappointed, if they were that deluded, and I was like, “Well, if my friend Danielle is any indication, this is like gay Christmas” (Ghristmas?  I don’t know.)

Interesting Stuff

Ikea (1)

I don’t think I can say it enough. I love Ikea.  With the exception of about three things, our entire house is has been furnished by the good company of Sweden.  Some of my favorite new purchases include this lamp and these chairs.  In red, of course.

Learning CSS (0)

I bought this book: Beginning CSS Web Development: From Novice to Professional by Simon Collison with a gift card over the summer.  It’s fantastic!  I am a complete novice with this sort of thing, but I’m learning quickly thanks to this book.  Thanks to Collison, I’ll never forget to top center my background image again.

Colour Lovers (0)

If you like playing with color and color palettes, you’ll love this site - Colour Lovers.  I’m playing with a blog redesign right now and it’s the perfect place to create a palette.  Fun!

Gus and Stuff (0)

My friend Chel’s Gus and Stuff website and blog.  “It’s all about being creative.”

Penn Says (0)

Watch Penn Jillette share his thoughts on topics from Garth Brooks to atheism to freedom fighting princesses.  Excellent stuff, here.

Dreamgirls (1)

I finally got around to watching Dreamgirls yesterday.  Ooooooooh my goodness.  Jennifer Hudson totally deserved that Oscar.  Brilliant. 

BBC America (1)

I am particularly addicted to You Are What You Eat at the moment.  I’m especially fascinated by the whole kebab thing. 

Hanson - Snowed In (0)

Snowed In is my favorite Christmas CD.  It’s Hanson.  Enough said.

Project Runway 5 - Episode 3 - The Designs

Keith

image

image

This was a mess, for sure, but it definitely wasn’t the biggest mess on the runway.  At least his dress looked like the inspiration photo.  I’m just glad Keith didn’t get booted. 

Blayne

image

image

Pride parade?  Yes.  Runway?  No.  It resembles the photo, but not in a good way.  I guess only one ruffled disaster can be in the bottom three, though.

Joe

image

image

Again with the literal.  First the pasta skirt and now this?  I despise this dress.  This guy has got to go.

Emily

image

image

Blayne’s ruffles looked like part of the dress.  These look like they were glued on.  More annoying than the dress was her insistence that the dress was fabulous.  It wasn’t.

Leanne

image

image

Stunningly beautiful.  I think she was genuinely surprised that she didn’t win.  Honestly, I was too, but the more I look at Kenley’s dress, the more I see why she won.  Leanne’s design is a wonderful take on a classic look, but Kenley’s is completely fresh and different.  Still, Leanne’s had to have lost by a fraction of a point, really.  It’s just gorgeous.

Jennifer

image

image

This Mary Poppins number is a mess and a half.  The piano keys on the cuffs and the hemming?  Yikes.  I was shocked to see this slide through but I do like Jennifer and want to see more of her viewpoint.

Jerell

image

image

This was beautiful but it’s been done before.  Like, a lot.

Kelli

image

image

Very cool, funky and unique.  Not a winner, but definitely a solid design.

Daniel

image

image

Another solid design, but where’s the risk?  I’m not seeing any here.  This is a safe dress.

Kenley

image

image

I adore this dress.  The unusual print (risk), the exposed ombre tulle (risk), the shape and silhouette (risk) - all paid off.  Not to mention that Shannone walked that dress like nobody’s business.  Kenley pushed the boundaries of safety with this design and she definitely deserved the win.

Suede

image

image

This look gets one and a half finger guns.

Stella

image

image

While this look has a limited audience and Stella runs the risk of becoming a one-trick pony if she doesn’t break away from her leatha looks, this outfit is rockin’.  The brightness of the halter top makes it look less biker chick and more biker chic.

Korto

image

image

LOVE.  Making a jumpsuit could be risky, it was a brilliant risk and she totally pulled it off.  That neckline and the fit is phenomenal. 

Terri

image

A great look.  The backless top offers an element of surprise to the whole outfit.  I love when a designer pulls of a really great pair of pants, too.

The verdict?  The right designs won and lost this week, even though the decisions were shocking in the moment.
