What a sad sack of potatoes.

At this point in time, I should be unsurprised because only once has the person I really wanted to win a season of Project Runway actually done so. But I can't understand why anyone thinks rompers and looking like a washed up 70's lady of the canyon is somehow considered fashionable? Ugh. It was really boring. Also, the arguments put forth by two judges were RIDICULOUS in the extreme. Ugh. Ugh. How lame is it that I would rather go back and watch old seasons, even knowing the inevitable outcome, because I am so displeased by this?

I really loved Andy's collection. It was glamorous without being kitschy. I also really dig those headpieces. They reminded me of some of the pieces of the Phillip Treacy hats a few challenges ago. The silver and green worked well together. Hated the weird swimsuit. But I'd rather wear a weird swimsuit than the diaper shorts in the granola collection.

What really puzzles me about Garcia and Kors in their arguments about trend - Mondo's collection has that vintage meets DIY hipster geek girl thing in spades. Kor's nasty snap "Hello, read a magazine" should have been thrown right back at him with "Hello look at the internet."

At least the weather is nice.

LOTR feast. candy, sanity

The annual Lord of the Rings feast is not happening at its usual weekend in November. It happens to fall on a day in December when Mike will be out of town, pursuing a dream of seeing Rammstein play a live show at Madison Square Garden. I have no idea why they moved the feast to December this year, but I am conflicted and unhappy about this arrangement. I don't know if I will end up going or not. Damn it.

I made Snickers. These are for us. Any trick-or-treaters will just have to eat boring mass produced candy since you can't give kids homemade things. I don't think I got the consistency right with my nougat and my caramel came out hard as rocks and prone to shattering. (How did I accidentally make brittle?) It seems better after some time in the fridge. But it is done and hopefully it tastes good. I wasted money buying peanut butter when I already had peanut butter, but other things I neglected to buy are expired. So much grocery fail today!

The Rally to Restore Sanity is tomorrow. I think restoring sanity is a good thing. Sadly I am working in the morning so I'll have to content myself with watching it streaming.

Mike is going with James to a haunted house this evening. I am not a fan of haunted houses. I don't like people leaping at me, shrieking or throwing things at me. I read about some haunted house recently where they just shut you in a room with a flash light and you have to find your way out of the building on your own. Terrifying.

I think I hurt my knee this morning while exercising. Hopefully it is just a temporary thing. My rage during the finale of Project Runway caused me to be more vigorous than necessary. Instead of wandering around in the dark being terrorized I think I'll soak my feet and play video games.
