I think my new favorite blog says it best:
On the Beardy man: "Joe, you're going to need to have a crying fit or a fight with the judges or make a vow to destroy one of your competitors because we have trouble remembering you're even there."
On O Tanny Boy: "Coming so close on the heels of last season's exhausting (and overt) push of Christian Siriano star-making, we feel like we just got finished babysitting a friend's kid when another friend unexpectedly showed up to drop their flamboyant little attention-seeking child off. Sure, we'll watch them for you but we're wiped out, so we're probably going to ignore them a lot and let them play with drycleaning bags."
On Suede's winning dress: "Lorenzo thinks she looks like a frozen pizza."
ALSO!!! BRAVO'S NEW SHOW!
"FASHION HOUSE (working title), a creative competition program based on the British format of the same name, replicates the workings of the fashion business through a fashion house. Teams of designers will live together and work to create not just a single item of clothing but an entire, cohesive line. These collections are created on deadline and are presented to commercial buyers with the opportunity of having the designers' line mass marketed."
Eat that, Project Runway leaving me and turning suck!
Anyway. I'm off to watch the latest episode. You should read that blizog.

Project Lameway
Moi mentioned that Project Runway is really lame this season and it really is. It's like the producers realized that the only people we liked in the past were characters so they needed a whole season of characters. But it was an awful idea.
Because I hate nearly all of them.
And they don't even have names to me, they all have shticks and that is what they are...shticks. Even the one (or two) that I don't mind have their own little pigeonhole.
Oh and if they don't have a thing? They look exactly like another person.
Here's a rundown:
Jerry Tam - Bland asian middle-aged guy. Spoiler alert - Don't get attached. He's gone already.
Wesley Nault - New England trust fund guy. Spoiler alert - boring and gone.
Blayne Walsh - Tanning kid.
Daniel Feld - Is he the black guy? Oh no, he's what's his face. Sleezeball. He gives me the heeble-jeebles.
Emily Brandle - The Bettie Page girl. Oh no. The shy girl. Oh no. The other one. The one that's not any of these.
Korto Momolu - The African girl. Trust me, she'll remind you in every interview just which one she is.
Jennifer Diederich - The one that looks like Leanne and is overlooked like Leanne.
Jerell Scott - This one's the black guy, right?
Joe Faris - Hey, he's from Michigan. I don't remember who he is though. Beard guy? Yeah, beard guy. The one that isn't anyone else.
Keith Bryce - The you-are-really-cute-why-aren't-you-straight guy.
Kelli Martin - The blond Bettie Page.
Kenley Collins - The original Bettie Page.
Leanne Marshall - The quiet one that looks like Jennifer and is overlooked like Jennifer.
Stella Zotis - The one who likes leather. And wears hooker clothes that are WAY too young for her.
Stephen "Suede" Baum - He calls himself Suede. He talks in the third person. 'Nuff said.
Terri Stevens - The black woman.

We are finally out of the old apartment and the second I walked out the door (after cleaning for three days, scrubbing and smelling icky chemicals for at least two hours) a gigantic weight was lifted off my shoulders.
Work has been hella crazy lately. Ashley and I are working on this giant project and maybe have an eighth of it done between the both of us. I am supposed to be working for financial aid sometime too but I feel bad abandoning Ashley when it's so crazy. And I would have to go and do it up in admissions. Which is always awkward because I feel like an outsider.
Anyway life is pretty good. Katti says I can ride her bike to work. I bought a helmet this weekend and all I need now is a bike lock. I'm pretty pumped.
I started thinking about this upcoming semester and got really sad so I don't want to think about it until August 25. Thank you.

I have a multi-tiered confession to make.
I was at WAL-MART the other day and saw some wedges that I thought looked really cute. And I almost bought a pair. Then I thought about rolling my ankle in them all the time and realized what I was doing and dropped them and quickly walked away.
Luckily I did not try them on.

Recap of Rachel's life
Since you all abandoned me to your happy little homes, here's what has happened:
Nick and I decided to move in with Katti/Oliver (in their GIANT house) because it would be way cheaper. I didn't really want to but $250ish compared to the $805 that we're paying where we are sounded great. (House residents: Katti, Oliver, Ben, Ben's new gf, Elliott, Dickhead, Mumbling Man, Jeremy)
The only problem was, they didn't have a room for us.
So they decided to kick out one of the two roommates who were not paying rent on time.
Once that was decided, one of Katti/Oliver's roommates, Dickhead, made a pass at me. I didn't care but Nick refused to move in with Katti/Oliver after that. He later recanted but it didn't matter because....
Two days later, while she was trying to tell him he was a douchebag (but in a nice way) Dickhead made a pass at Ben's new girlfriend, WannabeWinehouse.
WW told Ben they couldn't live in the house anymore.
Katti/Oliver were just going to try to find new roommates when they found out that Dickhead knew he screwed up and hit on WW just to screw everyone over.
Ben kicked Dickhead out.
Mumbling Man left. Without paying rent. Without telling everyone.
So Katti/Oliver decided to forget about living in the awesome house and I suggested we find a place together since our lease was up at the same time (August 1st).
We were leisurely looking at places and everything was going smoothly until Nick and I found out our lease was actually up June 30. Not August 1st.
Nick, Katti, Oliver and I went into frantic apartment hunting mode. Every place we looked at was too small for Katti.
Finally Nick and I decided to just pay fifty dollars more to stay at our apartment for another month.
After looking at a few more places (each too small for all the things Katti/Oliver had gathered during their six and a half years together) someone had the brilliant idea of looking at a three bedroom apartment in the apartment complex we are in now.
We checked it out, it passed and we decided to take it.
We sign the lease on Friday. And Nick and I are going to move all our stuff in on that same day.
We can manage this because the three bedroom apartment is across the sidewalk from our current apartment. So it's down the stairs, out the door, across a sidewalk and ta da!
I am just so excited that this whole thing is over. Finally.
