Feb. 9th, 2007 02:21 pmMy oh my, I've been productive today. I've made an assortment of medical appointments, applied for some jobs, and even put pants on. Amazing.
Well, the tent city downtown didn't last long. I'm surprised they aren't rounding the homeless up in trucks yet and shipping them down south somewhere. No more dirty poor people crowding up our streets collapsing and dying all over the place, no sir.
Boy, will it be great when our transition into Magical Fairyland is complete. Can't wait.
I shall now talk about reality TV, and you all may leave if you wish.
I watched another episode of Top Design, and it might be growing on me slightly. Even though he sounds like a robot at times, I can't help loving Todd Oldham. When he talks to the designers, he just seems so sweet, and I love that even in the weirdest rooms, he has the ability to find something nice to say as well as constructive. Usually, it's just, "Hey, great colors!", but even that's sweet.
This week, everyone was given a really vague dossier on an individual client, and only after they shopped for items did they learn that their clients were actually all kids under 12. That's probably why I liked the episode - I always wanted a really cool room when I was a kid, and all I ever got was hand-me-down furniture.
Now, what I think is really reasonable about the show - you have a separate lumber & paint budget. The best designers so far have been the ones willing to build furniture when they can't find something to buy that's exactly right. They get a carpenter to help them out as well. This week, after they talked to the kids, they got to go to a "department store" and buy $300.00 worth of extra stuff. Seeing as how the department store was a Target (I still can't figure out why they didn't just say that, what with all the other product placement they have going on - must be something with the company not paying or whatever), $300 went a long, long way. And still, some of the designers were so fucking stupid.
It wasn't a bad episode. Some of the designers made rooms that even I want, they were so cool. Some made awful granny rooms, and the guy I hate the most got axed. Sweetness. When it comes to the judges, though, I would trade Jonathan Adler for Michael Kors any day. I just miss the sneer, I guess. I'm sick to death of that bitch from Elle Decor, but I lovelove Kelly Wearstler. I've always thought her stuff was neat, and now she seems cool to boot. Plus, she's so damn pretty.
The pirate ship room won. I thought the kid for that room was going to wet himself, he was so excited. It was a pretty sweet room.
Oh, and I love Goil. I want him in my pocket. Please don't break him, Bravo. Please.
