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.

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

Project Runway 5 - Episode 4

Let’s just get this out of the way right now.

image

Hate.  Hate hate hate hate hate.  Ok, fine, I realize his “too many queens around here” comment was probably taken out of context to give him the homophobe edit, but still.  On reality television, you only get the kind of edit that your words provoke. 

Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, we can move on.

at the Atlas apartments...

image

Uh oh!  Keith’s shirtless!  And bent over!  And grooming himself!  I hope this doesn’t mean an elimination!

image

Dear Bravo, we’re aware of your original shows, all two and a half of them.  No need to flash them in front of Heidi every two seconds, especially when she’s wearing such a fabulous blouse.  Have your people call my people and we’ll do lunch!

image

Is this the only shot they know how to get of Shannone?

image

Blayne can’t tan.  Blayne sad.  Blayne needs new hoodie.

image

Eye of the Tiger video - take two!

at the Armory...

image

Walking onto that field is probably the most athletic thing most of these people have done in, say, ever. 

image

Is Apolo Ohno really qualified to be the guest judge, considering he’s sporting a soul patch? 

image

Sports?  You’re kidding, right?  I went to boarding school!  I’m only familiar with sports that involve white bermuda shorts and striped cable-knit sweaters! 

image

Plus, I’m not a very strong swimmer.
image

image

THE PRETEND OLYMPICS!!! OMG!!!111!!!PONIES!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  BEST CHALLENGE EVAH YOU GUYSSSSSS!

image

What.

image

Evs.

over at Mood...

image

You’re using...oh forget it.  No one ever listens to me anyway.  Make another damn garbage bag, for all I care.

image

Keith totally stole my fabric, but it doesn’t really matter because I am going to make AN ENTIRE COLLECTION OF CLOTHING worthy of the Olympic team for the opening ceremony in, like, twenty-eight minutes.  SUCK ON THAT, KEITH!

back at the workroom...

image

How many pins do you think I can fit into my cheek pouches without hurting myself, huh, Kenley?

image

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  AHAHA!

image

Shut.

image

The hell.

image

Up.

image

Tim!  Tim!  Look at my totally literal design!  Look at it!  Isn’t it literal? 

image

Yes, Joe, it is!  And look here!  A totally trite idea for this zipper that the producers told me and the judges to gush over!

image

Oh hai Blayne.  You can haz Sergeant Pepper’s outfit.

image

I don’t even know what you’re talking about.

image

Oh, god, youth.

image

Like, I only know the Beatles from Across The Universe, not even from Beatlemania or I Am Sam, I’m not even old enough for that.  Or at least that’s what I’d like you to believe so I can get more air time IN MY PURPLE HOODIE.

image

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

image

Holla at cha boy?

image

Kid, don’t even.

image

Um.

image

But Ti-iiiihiiiim!  I don’t DO athletic weaaaar!  I do cocktail dressssssessssssss!  I went to boarding schoooool!

image

The bolero’s cute.  Very Wonder Woman.

But Kenley told me not toooooooo!  I went to boarding schooooooool!

image

*begins meltdown #8752*

image

Oof.  Um, you might want to start packing your things now, Jen.

image

In boarding school we were allowed to thread other people’s machines without having our sexuality mocked.  Because that’s how we roll in boarding school.  I think Wesley went to boarding school, because we were really connecting.

image

I hate Joe!  Joe’s a meanie!  He reminds me of all the bullies from boarding school, only with a bad center part and facial hair circa 1993.

after the Runway show...

image

I must be on crack, because I thought this…

image

was sort of cute with its athletic touches.

image

Nina wants me.

image

Daniel.  Daniel Daniel Daniel.  “If drinking’s her sport, that’s the dress.” (brilliance du Kors)

image

Seriously?

image

I can’t look.

image

That’s right.  That’s how it’s done.

image

This Olympic team would look very smart.  And chic.  And smart.

image

Someone went a little crazy with the bedazzler on my top, don’t you think?

image

All together now...OH GIRL, NO.  And especially not with a matching USO outfit. 

image

I laugh in your general direction.

the judges deliberate...

image

This challenge drained my soul. 

image

Well I think I know who has to go.

image

Prim and proper and ashamed of your body doesn’t work on this show, bitches.  Hurray for sportswear and T&A!

image

Korto wins!

image

Terri is totally classy!

image

Jennifer goes home.

image

I guess it’s pretty surreal to talk about surrealism in design but never actually, y’know, show any.  I liked you, Jen, but it was your time.  Auf Wiedersehn!

More on the Olympic gear tomorrow!
