Preemptively Trying to Fill the Void With American Idol

There's one point at stake in tomorrow's Runway reunion show, if you want to play.

All you have to do is guess who will be the fan favorite.

I'm going with Sweet P. She's awfully cute. Dan says he's picking Chris. He's also quite likable. Really, there were quite a few winsome contestants this year, so the competition will likely be fierce. You can post your guess below if you wish.

And this is an aside, but this is my first season watching American Idol. Why is it such a commitment to watch this show? THREE nights this week? Are they kidding? Still, Dan and I are putting our time in, and we really don't want to be disappointed.

Vegetarians are the Enemy of Everything Good and Decent in the Human Spirit

My friend and dissertation-finisher, Lee, told me that Kitchen Confidential by sometime-Top Chef judge and vegetarian-hater Anthony Bourdain would be a good choice for reading.

She's right. It's wicked fun. And I'm learning valuable lessons, like don't order mussels ever and also no fish on Mondays. Furthermore, Tuesdays are really the best night to eat out.

And speaking of reality television, only 30-some days until Project Runway Season 4. There will be a challenge for sure.
