I cannot get back to sleep because I'm fucking wired.

[apocalypsos]

But then again I suppose I asked for it when I set my alarm for eleven so that I could watch Shear Genius, yes?

As the Project Gay boys said ...

Gay Frodo?! NOOOOOO!

Lacey?! ... oh.

Why do I want to think they did that short cut elimination on purpose to get rid of Lacey? I mean, they didn't, but that doesn't mean I don't want to believe it. Heh. Bye, Lacey! Please to be taking your ugly lipstick and weird chin somewhere else. (Seriously, what the hell is up with her chin? It's like she had her chin implant shift when she'd never even gotten one in the first place.)

Okay. NOW GIVE ME MY WEE GAY HOBBIT BACK, DAMN IT. *grumbles*

Is it wrong that much of my love for this show is that everybody who's left (like their elimination or not) deserved to go? There hasn't been a time yet where I've been like, "No, somebody else deserved this more." Theodore did a bad cut. End of story.

And the judges were right -- Dr. Boogie should have gone more adventurous. I was rooting for Evangelin as soon as she picked up the hedge clippers. I mean, that could either have gone horribly terribly wrong or faaaabulous, and either way would have resulted in her getting all wibbly and melodramatic, which is the way in which it's easiest to laugh at her. (I swear, I do like her. But the crying at the drop of the hat is just silly.) It took massive cojones to take those damn clippers in the first place and I wouldn't have blamed the model at all if she'd said, "Yeah, I have somewhere else to be where those clippers are not." But that was a great haircut even before you took the difficulty of the clippers into consideration.

Personally I did think that Tyson should have been in the bottom three, though. Something about his haircut looked a lot like a brown helmet. Or like it should be on a game show host in the 1970s.

I did love the fact that he's such a smug bastard that he decided to let the crappy stylists go first and put his real competition at the end. And it ended up being even more hilarious just because he made it really freakin' hard on Tabatha and then she ended up in the top three. HA! I also died laughing when she was like, "Why is everybody bloody crying already?" about the phone calls. I would have KILLED to hear her call home, although I'm not exactly sure what hearing the voice of Cthulhu over the phone would do to the audience.

Once again, I'm going to be working on a Thursday night when every damn show I watch is a new episode. Oh, great. So much for sleeping tomorrow either. *sigh*

EDIT: Fight over baby's life support divides ethicists. It's not the story or the issue that gets me, it's this line:

Emilio's mother, Catarina Gonzales, on the other hand, is fighting to keep her son on the ventilator, allowing him to die "naturally, the way God intended."

Five million bucks to the first person who can go out into the woods and capture me a free-roaming ventilator.

I wonder if Evangelin is pregnant. Might explain the crying at the drop of a hat.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It would certainly be a good excuse, although I'm starting to get the feeling she's just normally like that. Not that I'm complaining. :)

[thebratqueen.livejournal.com]

I want to see her and Tabitha pair off for a wacky sitcom where they both work in the same hair salon and though they aren't the same, they somehow manage to get along.

It seems like everyone has a line of the amount of medical care that is "natural" that is, amazingly, exactly what they or their loved ones need. Anything they don't happen to need is "playing god."

I'm not mocking the woman, she's clearly in a very hard situation and one where I can see both sides, but nothing about the child's life is natural at this point.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I mean, you're right -- she's in a terrible place and I would never want to have to deal with this kind of thing, but exactly how many machines does he have to be hooked up to before his death in spite of it all becomes "natural"?

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

Okay, that's a horrible, sad story, but your last line made me choke on my tea.

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but, come on, cut her some slack. There can't be anything harder than watching your infant die. That poor woman. I can't really blame her for wanting to hold on as long as she possibly can.

I can, however, blame the hospital for being a bunch of pricks about the issue. :(

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, I totally sympathize with her, and God knows she's going through something horrible. But that argument is ... well. *hands*

And yeah, that law in Texas does wonders for their image. It seems like they're making the front page of Yahoo News every six months bout some sick baby they want to take off life support (and are legally allowed to) when the parents want them to keep the child alive.

[crevette.livejournal.com]

I can only imagine what it would be like, but I know I wouldn't want to sit there and watch my infant hurt either. There's a difference between keeping him alive for him, and keeping him alive for her.

I can't even picture what it would be like to have to say goodbye to my child like that, and my heart bleeds for her, but she's going to have to let go at some point.

Poor baby. Poor mommy.

Sure, ask NOW, right after hunting season's made them virtually extinct.

Once upon a time, a natural death did not include mechanical aid. Now, it does. Modernism is inexorable.

I would prefer that my family make the decisions for me even if they are wrong. I know that they would think it through carefully and do what they thought best. I don't know the hospital or politician people. I would like them to stay out of my life and death. And they can take their moral crap and shove it up -

I blame House for spreading the idea that it is okay for the Dr to manipulate, lie, cheat, and outright break the law so long as he is right - which he will magically somehow be regardless of the odds or lack of evidence.

Under Texas law, Children's has the right to withdraw life support if medical experts deem it medically inappropriate.

What gets to me, time and again, is that this legislation was passed by supposedly pro-life politicians, and was entirely motivated by money.
