-- I should be going out and being responsible and getting new brake pads on my car, and instead I'm using the cat sitting on my lap as an excuse not to move. Which means that he should jump down to the floor any minute now.

-- After doing this NSFW sketch last night my brain apparently wants me to go out and buy a new sketchbook and drawing pencils. Yeah, thanks, brain. Because God knows I've got scads of free time already. *eye roll*

-- Lesson #3,245 in why I should not go anywhere near the TWoP forums ... watching people piss and moan in the Shear Genius thread about how Tabatha's picking on Tyson and making it harder for him in challenges. Oh, you mean like when he picked her last for the unconventional tool challenge? And when he ran in and grabbed a bunch of the feathers she was about to take in the very first episode? Yeah, that's really a one-sided rivalry there. And those disadvantages seem to work so well for both of them, don't they, considering whichever challenge they get fucked over in they immediately turn around and kick ass in. Le sigh. (I love them both, so. *hands in air* Hey, I sat through the Weaver family's pathetic excuse for Christian values, Jonathan and Victoria, TAR All-Stars, Top Chef's downward spiral into an Afterschool Special on middle-school bullying as produced by Ashton Kutcher and friends, and whatever the hell season three of Project Runway was. Tabatha and Tyson's rivalry is NOTHING.)

-- My toilet is clogged. Goddamn it. I have to go up to my parents's house and borrow their plunger. (Actually, what I really need to do is buy one, but whatever.)

-- It's the first day of my work shift today. I haven't slept more than four hours at a time in the last four days. GYAH.

Re: Shear Genius - exactly! One of the things I'm loving so much about that whole rivalry is the fact that both of them are genuinely awesome at what they do, so their snark is completely untainted by "well, so-and-so is more talented, but ..."

That having been said, of course, I find myself desperately wanting to pay Tabatha a shitload of money to do my hair. :D

Exactly! Tyson's bugged because he perceives Tabatha as his biggest threat and Tabatha doesn't like his attitude. Neither one of them can or will argue that the other one is a bad stylist -- Tabatha might have called him FIGJAM, but less because he wasn't good and more because he is a good stylist and he'll be more than happy to tell you HOW good.

And I think they both know damn well just how good they are if only because they've both been in a position in a challenge to give the other one a distinct disadvantage and had them turn around and do much better than they'd thought they'd do.

Oh, yeah, I'd totally pick Tabatha over Tyson. Tyson might fawn over me for two straight hours and tell me how gorgeous I am, but Tabatha won't give me any bullshit and will tell me point-blank if something's not going to work (and will be absolutely correct in her assessment -- I have a cousin who's done my hair since I was a kid who refused to stop giving me bangs because she said I'd look horrible without them, so she had to eat crow when I did grow them out and it looked WAY better than I had with them).

Lesson #3,245 in why I should not go anywhere near the TWoP forums ...

You'd think I'd have learned by now to stay away from TWoP. The 1st season of a show is usually OK, but the 2nd season discussion inevitably descends into "The 1st season was soooo much better! Only *we* are intelligent enough to perceive this, and the show-creators are pandering to the dumber masses!"

It's already happening with Heroes. *eyeroll*
