I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.

It’s Friday, it’s 8:30, it’s time to party. I’m your excellent host Eden and with me as always is… um… well I have Vuv-vuv the stuffed pig sitting here. Zoe named it when she was about nine months old. Vuv-vuv will be your co-host.

Unfortunately I can’t think of anything that fascinating to share. But since when did that stop a blogger? I’ve been trying to red up the house this week. Nina has been here a few days, which really allowed me to gitter done. Hawk came home the other night and said, “Where’s all the clutter?” Ah, that’s what a gal likes to hear. Much better than “Where’d my shit go?”

I could talk about “Project Runway.” I could talk about the guys trying to be Uberqueeny and the one who looks like the long-lost child of the OB who delivered Holden trying to make his little catchphrases catch on (Blayne — that’s not a name! That’s a major appliance!) . I could talk about all the edgy, crafty chica girls (Emily, Kenley, Kelli) being so cut from the same cloth (heh) that the more mainstream girls (Leanne, Jennifer) seem like the true outsiders. I do think the Betty Page lookalike (Kenley) is nifty though.And I loved Kelli’s ideas in the grocery challenge. Of course I like the edgy, crafty chicas. I’m just saying that there’s more of them.

Have you seen Stella’s headshot? Yikes. She seems to hate everyone and everything. Usually I’m cool with that but she really seems to just hate being there and doing the challenges. I’m like, Isn’t this what you signed up for? Didn’t you know what was involved? And the trash bag dress? She could have at least unfolded the bags. It’s the same reason I don’t like Johnny Rotten/Lydon/whatever he’s calling himself today. I get him and I get Stella. It’s just unenjoyable to watch them. Fashion is fun. It’s fashion for chrissakes. Loosen up.

I was disappointed with Korto this week. Her grocery gown was amazing but the green fabrics, not so much. I’m glad she’s still around b/c I want to see her work some more. And everytime I see her, I covet her hair.

What bugs me about this season so far is everyone sitting around and bitching. Bitching about the tablecloths from the grocery challenge (we shouldn’t have picked fabric? but… but… that makes it hard!). Bitching about the satin from the green challenge (models is so stupid; they won’t know how much to buy, to get thread and notions, etc.). That’s part of the game, no? Finding a way to “make it work?”

Instead of kvetching that two other people have the same fabric, do something (gasp) creative with it! Or bitching that the colors “don’t go together.” So? Are you obliged to use both? And maybe they do go  together if you’d be (gasp) creative with what you’re designing. Look what Suede did. Hawk called it “the Cherry Pie dress.” At first I was all “ack” but then I was all “I dig.” Then I was all “whoah.”

So anyway…

I tried to make peanut butter cookies today & they burned. First batch: burned. Second batch, I took out sooner: slightly less burned. Third batch, I checked the oven thermometer. Oven: set at 375. Thermometer: 425. So I turned it down to 350 and the final cookies did somewhat better. I knew our oven was off. 375 seems to be the magic number. I also made some non-hash brownies (again) but I haven’t had any of those yet. Hawk said they were good.

We’re supposedly seeing Dark Knight on Monday. I told Hawk I wasn’t putting out until I saw Dark Knight. Stuff like that, he sees as a challenge. My ultimatim lasted about half an hour. But it’s on again. He’s off at D&D night w/ S, B and the boyz. B was in Vegas recently so they’ll probably have stuff to talk about. He even took a ride in onenna dem helee-copters. Okay, that’s my third Mater reference in this post (and one Crush).

Sheriff: Mater! What did I tell you about talking to the accused?
Mater: Tuh not to.

Lightning McQueen: I’m serious! He’s won three Piston Cups!
Mater: [spits out fuel] He did WHAT in his cup?

Mater: I’m happier ‘n a tornado in a trailer park!

Mater: I don’t care who ya are, that’s funny right there.

Heh. I like that last one so much, I’ma make it mah post title. Now I is off tuh have a brownie and possibly watching that Prime Suspect DVD I didn’t last week.
