Randomness

So I brought my spider plants in out of the cold. I set their tray on a cookie sheet. I don’t know when to put them back outside though. There is a frost warning for tonight just like last night. The internet says it's 29 outside right now. I miss Margate.

We are like 5 days behind in reading the bible. It’s going to be tough to catch up. At least we are into stories and out of Job. It’s getting so much less repetitive and they are repeating themselves less often and it’s much less repetitive too.

Project Runway leaving Bravo makes me sad. Not so much that it’s leaving makes me sad, but that I can’t find out any current information about it. Will it be on Lifetime? When will season 6 air? What is Fashion House?

An interesting bit of trivia: Audiences would show up to one of Andy Kaufman's stage performances expecting to see him perform as Latka, and heckling him with demands when he did not. Kaufman would punish these audiences with the announcement that he was going to read The Great Gatsby to them. The audience would laugh at this, not realizing that he was serious and would proceed to read the book to them, continuing despite audience members' departure. At a certain point, he would ask the audience if they wanted him to keep reading, or play a record. When the audience chose to hear the record, the record he cued up was a recording of him continuing to read The Great Gatsby from where he had left off. (Wikipedia)

Project Runway, Season 5

Congratulations to Leann on winning season 5 of Project Runway. I can’t say that I was terribly impressed with any of the lines. Eh. Nothing like Christian or Jeffery or even Uli, Laura, Michael, or ( I firmly believe) what Chris would have shown (can you tell my favorite seasons? :) ). Leann made a pretty line, but it all was really colorless and repetitive. For as much as I liked what Karto did all season, I wasn’t impressed with her the last few shows and the finale wasn’t any better. Kenley’s was interesting, but it really looked like she did whatever she wanted with no plan in mind. It was all out there. Way out there. I don’t think I would wear any of the looks.

I’m upset that it might be moving to Lifetime. I’ll keep looking in the news though. I’ve heard that NBC might have won it back.

Amazing Grace & Gilligan's Island

Did you ever try to sing the words from Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan’s Island?

Lauren told us that if you want to get a song that’s stuck in your head out, then all you need to do is sing the Amazing Grace lyrics to the theme from Gilligan’s Island. Her thing was that you are concentrating so hard on that that the other song dissipates. Yeah, well, baloney. I have that stuck in my head now. We tried it with Lauren, and it was kind of challenging the first time, but now that I’ve heard it, it’s almost as easy as Happy Birthday. Although, I think most of the concentrating the first time was figuring out how Gilligan’s Island went.

I'm a BravoTV junkie

I was watching Top Design on Bravo last night and I noticed something unusual. As the judges were talking, they were using big, complicated words. I didn’t really understand the guy at all. I couldn’t even tell from the context. “That’s so (insert big word). I mean, it’s like (insert a different big word).” I didn’t even know if he liked anything! And I thought TV catered to the lowest forms of intelligence.

Speaking of great TV, Project Runway was on too. We got home just as it was going off, so I made Andrew change the channel so I wouldn’t know the ending before I saw the beginning. So, sitting through the last 5 minutes of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and watching the ending credits roll, I switched back to Bravo just in time to see Kenley crying. I quickly switched back and made a mental note to fix the VCR clock to the right time. “Crap.” I thought. “They are sending Kenley home. I liked her.”

So I sat through Top Design until the encore showing of Project Runway. It was an ok one I thought. The clothes weren’t as nice as they had been all season, especially Jarel’s. OMG I thought the dress was going to fall off of the model! So, he won, but no one lost. Surprise! They all get to make collections and then next week, they’ll pick the three to go to Bryant Park. They did a similar thing last season with Ramey and Chris. I liked Chris. He was my 2nd favorite. This season I like Kenley, but not just because she’s from Pompano. I like Leann and Jarel, but they are not my favorites. I think Kato should win. I think she’s the best. Kenley makes 50’s style clothes, Jarel makes shiny brown clothes, Leann makes sculptured embellishments, and Kato makes pretty yellow things.
