I should note that I found that "Mad Dog" painting in the most unlikely spot, at least I thought so - it was found while doing research today on the JAMA website. So weird. I was speaking to Eduardo today about bears - really be/c we both carry nicknames for one another that involves each of us being one (him: grizzly bear, moi: panda bear, clearly):

me: You're like a bear.
Eduardo sticks tongue out at me, presumably trying to lick my face.
me: Stop! NO tongues. None - ew - please.
Eduardo: I'm a bear! We use our tongues! How else do you think we get our honey out of those jars?
me: No, you use your paws. Like this: I demonstrate faux honey paw grabbing and eating, hand = paw
Eduardo: No little one. No. No bears do that.
-
Silence for a bit while I think about this.
-
me: ...Winnie does.
Eduardo: (laughs), no, Real bears.
me: Oh, really?

End of conversation. This happens alot - we discuss things that we both ultimately know are foolish, pointless, and silly but thats why I love spending time with him so much - I am a foolish, pointless and silly person and I demand company of the like.

Today was a great day at work - j/k, it was awful, and I had company in this sentiment a/k/a Jliz - which is why we probably embarked on a short convo about the perennial convo favorite, women's roles, reasoning, biology, and life choices (sounds like a college elective). Her blog has the details, but that is a prime reason why I love Jliz - she has a mind that I admire and I am glad she and I can be considerably enjoyable company for one another - especially during an otherwise shitty work day.

Chelsea (yeah!) v MLS All Stars (boo) game Saturday. Cannot.wait.

CRAZY PIECE OF ART OF THE DAY

As if I need any more shows to become addicted to, watching MEDIUM tonight with uber fan JLIZ really sealed in another lock in TV central. Just when I am about to begin classes - GREAT. Friends are always there to feed your addictions, thats why I love them so much. I was a little disappointed today though, as I read through a thread on a message board said friend is a privliged member of - concerning Project Runway. Amateur watchers out there I tell you, amateur.

A few things of note that were not noted:

1. The mom character is annoying. Great, you're an architect and great, you're not donning the sweat pant suit/ugg boot combination, but your hair is SEVERE and your clothes are HORRIBLE. The first thing she designed, that coat? With the fur? Straight up FUG. Honestly, I felt like I was looking at those nasty Wal Mart ads they stick in Vogue every month. Then the next dress/challenge: for Miss USA (and let me tell you, I am not proud to have our reigning Miss USA prancing around representing the 50 nifty states; that accent! "Ahi Luhvud Thayt Gowyn, Ayhm Guhnnah Rahk Thayt Gowyn." GAG - . Well, Mom character was super annoying with her WHITE dress with like, little sparkley faux crystals all over it? COME ON. It may as well have been bias cut, thats how ugly it was. I was beyond surprised that she moved on, considering Miss USA of Texas said that she didn't want a white gown...that gown was...white. CAn it be white and not be white? Thats probably what she thought. She probably had some deep theory about having five kids and white turning a different shade in her mom mind after she had five kids...and lets not mention that outside of the white color it was just ugly. It looked like a standard one piece swimsuit with a skirt. And like, crystal snap ons.

The last challenge, when she's telling Kayne she is "so tasteful" with her like Talbots print (with MORE faux fur) - UGHHHH. I hate it! You aren't designing dresses for American Girl dolls.

Then there's the one kid who I will only call Punk Rock. He's so punk rock, it's not even funny. I bet if one of the designers walked up to him and called him EMO, he'd chuck the shearing scissors at him. Wait...I bet that's what happens this Wednesday with that super mystery filled "never before" ProjRun episode.

Thus far, I can't argue that Kayne, despite the PAGEANT obsession (so 1990's) is a poor designer - everything he's done is really great looking and is really crafted well - but with the Missoni print, I bet you knew I'd say that right?

I was sad Katherin Gerdes had to go but her dress wasn't really sewn well - I didn't buy that it was "all the machines up there could do." BUT the real hate is ANGELA - totes where I differ with the board's opinion - Malan wasn't so bad - despite that horrible Brown dress he concocted - SHE IS THE WORST for a number of reasons:

a) WTF is up with what she wears on the show. Balloon hemmed skirts with f-ing Doc Marten boots and tights with her nasty permed brown hair just lopping around like dog ears - some pride, please, with your appearance. I don't trust you to dress others when you appear to be dressing yourself while blindfolded, using just one hand (the one you DON'T write with) in the morning, rolling out of bed sans washing nay brushing your locks. EW. Don't even get me started on those like baggy cargo/painter paints with the like red clown bottom...almost diaper ish.

b) HER AUDITION TAPE. If she said the words YVES SAINT LAURENT one more time, IN JUST THE CLIPS I SAW, I was going to go cuckoo. Seriously. Is that the only house she's familiar with?

c) Her design and story last challenge. What the hell...british head master...french camp? Party for the puppy? What? Are these kids deaf and blind? Is it a circus camp? Is it punishment? And if so, for whom? Annoying. She's annoying and I hate her and cannot believe she's still on the show. I hope she's next to go.

So far, I am enjoying Alison (quiet, isn't mean, and designs well), and Uli (she's so talented, seriously) - there are a few more but I can't think of their names now. I clearly only remember who I hate, which is alot this season. Too bad there isn't a loose cannon like Guadalupe from last season. She was amazingly horrid.
