Project Runway is finally back for it’s sixth season. I was not really looking forward to this new season for two reasons: 1) it’s moved from Bravo to Lifetime and 2) how fresh can it really be after five seasons? The first episode demonstrates that it’s basically the same show with a batch of fresh…

Toby Young is more obnoxious than all the product placements on Top Chef combined.

Diana asked nicely, so I’m going to write some more stuff about the TV shows that I watch. Spoilers ahead.

Commentary and spoilers about Top Chef Thanksgiving, Heroes, Grey’s and Private Practice.

The two of us napped on the sand at Chrissy Field. We were surrounded by all the magical goodness you could want from life: deliciously fine sand, the sun beating down, a cool ocean breeze and an abundance of happy dogs out with their owners. The Golden Gate Bridge watched over us, quietly counting the…

This post is all about the second-last episode of Top Chef Chicago where four chefs are reduced to three. If you don’t want spoilers then you better just mosey on along. Go and hug your children. Sit them down and make them go through a Top Chef marathon with you. I’ve been getting too analytical…

So I recently linked to a blog post detailing the art of the two-percenter, a joke that only 2% of your audience will get. The holy grail of comedy is, of course, a joke that feels like a 2% joke but actually hits at the majority of your audience. Anyway, case in point: last night’s…

I had no idea how big a TV junkie I am. Seriously. I thought I watched a little more than most people but it turns out I watch a lot. A lot of people I run into don’t own a TV. But I guess that’s the “cool” thing to do when you’re living alone. Who…

So what’s buzzing around my mind at the moment? I will tell you! In sentence fragments! Girls …and the inconceivable lack thereof. That’s not a “oh my god I need to get laid” complaint. I merely prefer the company of women because in the correct settings, I get to make sexist jokes and do all…

You know what is the best thing coming out of Apple right now? It’s not the iPod. It’s not the newly bumped-up MacBooks; it’s not the mighty MacBook Pro; not the iPod shuffle; not the 8-core Mac Pro and not that little teevee box they done have. It’s not even Steve Jobs and his turtleneck…

Hi Addyboo! First of all, I have emails from friends from a month ago that I need to reply to. Don’t worry. I will. I want to. Things just keep jumping in the way. Dog Whisperer is eighteen awesomes I’ve been watching a lot of TV lately as a way to escape a lot of…

My brain is all over the place, I can’t write one concentrated post. I was listening to this radio show on the drive home on Friday night. I think it was NPR or something. It was a human interest story on some high school where an overwhelming number of children had parents that were currently…

Ok so here are the TV shows I watch when giving extended basic Comcast cable: I hate having to watch the ads Daily Show on Comedy Central at 11pm daily Colbert Report on Comedy Central at 11:30pm daily Heroes on KING-5 at Monday 9pm Studio 60 on KING-5 at Monday 10pm House on KCPQ-13 at…

I hate watching TV sometimes. Today’s case in point: 9am with David and Kim and the likes of Today Tonight. First, 9am. David mentions something about this day in history being the day that the Dutch discovered Australia. Shortly after, Kim studiously reads off her prompter about a new music video released by Anthony Mundine…

List of TV shows that I am currently watching from the most important to the least important: Yes, I still watch anime Grey’s Anatomy Heroes Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip House NaNa Bleach Le Chevalier D’Eon Scrubs I just started watching Heroes and it’s freaking awesome because it’s fast-paced and it’s re-ignites all those…

I miss Denny. I heard Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol in the café today and I got sort of nostalgic.

There’s a story in Seed Magazine about a Congitive Neuroscientist on Millionaire. It deals with one of my favourite things to do: bringing up random pieces of trivia on command by tracing a path through your memories. Had I known that cognitive neuroscience could be this cool, I might have been a doctor instead. Stuffy…
