I’m a Loser: Sudoku Edition
The culprit
Old woman falling asleep on my shoulder on a packed bus, smelling faintly of garlic and a lot like sweat. Enough said.
So the Emmys announced the top ten drama and comedy finalists today. Of course these lists will be narrowed down to the five nominees in each category later next month, but the finalists are pretty interesting:

Most times I see someone ignore social etiquette, I let it slide. Things like letting doors swing in people’s faces, showing up with 30 items in the express checkout line, scratching/readjusting yourself in public. Rude, rude, and gross, sure, but forgivable I suppose. However, today I was witness to one of the social etiquette no-nos that absolutely horrifies me — taking off your shoes in public. And I don’t mean flip flops or strappy sandals, where at least your feet can breathe. No, I mean shoes of the closed-toed, sweat-gathering, stanky-ass variety.

Besides the one episode I recapped for TVgasm, I didn’t watch a single minute of American Idol this year. In fact, the last season I paid any attention to was season 4 when Carrie won, and the last time I voted or really got into it was season 2 (I was all about Trenyce and switched allegiances to Clay once she was eliminated). That being said, I stumbled across a David Cook track while browsing through iTunes a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love. It’s from Mariah Carey week, and is a cover of “Always Be My Baby.” I’ve never been a huge fan of the original (although “Someday” is one of my favorite, all-time songs), but the way David sings this honestly gives me shivers. If you’re one of the 5 other people who don’t follow Idol, check it out:
P.S. Were they trying to use the least attractive image of this man possible? Was the one with the snot bubbles and cold sore just not available?
Welcome!
So yeah… started my own blog. We’ll see how this goes. While I try to figure out what the hell I’m doing, I’ll be putting up some of my old TVgasm recaps of Top Chef (season 4) and Gossip Girl (season 1) just to have something on here. Enjoy!
LoLo
This week on Top Chef, Daddy Tom’s face says it all:
“Wake me up if something interesting happens…”

This is it guys — the Top Chef finale! Who will win it all? Will it be quietly arrogant Richard, lover of puns, fauxhawks and molecular gastronomy? Will it be fan favorite Yoda, who has overcome her often-horriffic Quick Fire showings with class, poise and the most Elimination Challenge high finishes? Or will it be conspiracy theorist Fleasa, hater of showers, soap and pleasant facial expressions? You all know who I’m rooting for, so without further ado, onto the recap!
If she wins, maybe Yoda can use the money to buy better-fitting pants.

Top Chef: Antonia Got Porked
This week on Top Chef, the judges break into the Puerto Rican rum and make yet another baffling decision. <Sniff, sniff> Does anyone else smell that? Oh yes, it’s the stink of producer intervention. And/or Fleasa. Or possibly Richard’s eyebrow hair.
American liquor stores just saw a 91% spike in business.
