threeplusfireEveryone on the internet is not happy. This week is really pretty fired for its stress, rage and despair inducing moments and everything else. It is fired and we are all unplugging and going on a freaking vacation. That will teach you, internet. Sigh.
My giant box of taffy arrived. I may have overestimated the amount of taffy I actually need, but it is so delicious. Taffy Shop! (Cinnamon taffy, I love you.)
A Chinese menu folded into the door has "rated 4 1/2 stars on Yelp!" on the cover. While I feel very loyal to the Chinese place a block from the house, I am sort of tempted to try this other one because they have a crazy long list of things I've not eaten before. I want to know what the friend Chinese twist crullers are. Nom nom.
Currently obsessed with the chocolate coconut Lara bars. I tell myself it's more reasonable to eat one than a candy bar, and that I can have one after every workout. My therapist wanted to know why I was working out even though I obviously don't like to do so. I just want to have an easier time buying clothes. That's all it comes down to, really.
We finally obtained this awesome drawer insert to hold all my knives. Now to sharpen them!
My house is really messy. I should devote some time to cleaning this weekend.
oh Project Runway, seriously?
Wow, talk about bitchy, bitter behavior. DUDE. I can only imagine how annoyed Tim Gunn must have felt during the filming of this recent episode. Wasn't there some other concern about sticky tape in seasons past? I feel like this always comes up. Whatever - if that's the worst thing, then that hardly rises to the level of "OMG YOU ARE TAKING MY SPOT YOU UNDESERVING PERSON" that Ivy made it out to be. It certainly looked in the edit like she was just deliberately stirring the pot with all her whispering and telling other designers she was taking one for the team or whatever. I did cackle when the editors took that clip of Ivy talking about karma and then went immediately to some minor workroom accident. HILARIOUS.
So unnecessary.
Anyhow, the clothes. I really liked Andy's stripes and swirls and stuff. I would even buy those, except they are beyond my clothing budget right now. I'm surprised the judges made the Halloween comment about those outfits and missed the obvious Thanksgiving party reference in Michael C's clothes. Anyhow. I thought Mondo's looked really well finished and put together. I wasn't loving that weird sort of pink/purple color but that is just a personal preference. April's clothes looked very April and veyr nice but I couldn't see them fitting into the overall scheme of things.
Finally the judges acknowledge that Gretchen is crazy pants with her choices. FINALLY I SAY!
Poor Christopher and his sad clothes. Still he made it way further than I expected.
Michel C's stuff wasn't so much bad as just downright nonsensical. Feh.
Time for lunching! Lunching and then to use my pool ninja powers. It's warming right back up into the 90s next week on my weather chart.

In my experience with this show, the producers aren't going to miss a chance to air someone talking shit, and we haven't seen Michael C doing any of the things he's being accused of. He may not be a very technical sewer, but who the fuck cares? Sometimes simple works, and honest to god, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors are not going to let a bunch of incompetence fly. Who do these little designers think they are, anyway? Why would you just assume that you know everything and these people who've been in the business a billion years know nothing?
Ugh, the brats on this season's show raise my blood pressure.
