Oh, thank God.

apocalypsosI finally figured out that not only was LJ being stupid, but Firefox would not let me post at all anywhere and every time I hit any sort of button on any website it would just revert back to the same page and LAUGH at me. The Internet haaaates me, apparently.
ANYWAY. Now I may *actually* be able to get something done. (HA! Hahahaha. Heh.)
And there was a new episode of Project Runway last night! I'VE MISSED IT SO.
At random:
-- My general impression is that - hopefully - it's an improvement over last season. There does seem to be quite a row going on in the season preview, but given the first episode I'm guessing it's Other Joshua or Anthony (I'm not sure I can tell them apart right now -- well, not without counting their testicles) who's the problem and not Bert. Bert doesn't seem like the sort to start these kind of runway arguments.
-- Speaking of, BERT! I think I love him. He's had such a terrible time of things and I was so happy that they kept him on the show, and then he LISTENED and gave his designing a jolt for the first challenge and FUCKING WON and was very sweet and gracious about it. I'm really, really hoping they're not setting him up as a sweetheart only to have him turn out to be a raging dickhead later on. I may cry if that's the case.
-- I also like Anya, with the addendum that if the four-months claim turns out to be crap, I reserve the right to change my mind because otherwise the "I've never sewed ..." claims are even more annoying. That said, I'm letting them slide for now because I'm hoping she'll lay off them eventually and at the very least they sound more matter-of-fact and less smug. I honestly think that those four months of sewing knowledge came during Sewing Boot Camp, where all she did was eat, sleep and sew. And she seems to be quite good at it. Her pants were one of the few pairs on the runway I'd go anywhere near. (To really be impressed, look how her pants stood against Julie's. Good God, those were terrible pants.)
-- I feel a bit sorry for Rafael, since he was funny and seemed nice, but then again that outfit was awful. Although I laughed when he said he wouldn't take the headscarf off because then he'd look like a homeless person. Heh. I've had those moments. My hair's at the right length these days that every morning when I wake up I look like Syndrome from The Incredibles.
-- Also, that first challenge was awesome, but I couldn't stop cringing thinking about all of the women being without bras and the vast majority of the guys being without underwear, I imagine.
-- "Nut juice." Heh. You can stay, Kimberly.
-- I don't get what made Anthony's outfit top-three-worthy. It wasn't in the bottom three, I'll say that much, and I agree with Christina Ricci that he did a good job using the trims to cover up problem areas. That said, really? Top three? Uh ...
-- Christina Ricci did a good judging job. She made some really great points.
-- "Flintstone disco pouch." Oh, Michael Kors, never leave me again.
-- "Are you speaking foreign?" I'm sorry, Laura Kathleen, you seem to have made a wrong turn at the audition. You're on Project Runway, not the first Africa episode of this season of The Amazing Race. File away your ugly-American behavior accordingly. (Also, "foreign"? Try "Italian." Sheesh.)
-- In related news, Olivier is a wee shy blond Asian polylinguist and I find him adorable.
-- Dear Danielle - I loved your portfolio, but please don't be THAT designer. You do not need to be in the top three every week. No one has EVER been in the top three every week. Even Sunny on season two of Project Runway Canada didn't pull that off, and Sunny did better than anyone EVER. So ... you know, knock it off.
