Rumblings in the Sky

[puppetmaker]

I think the weather- gawds are trying to make up the most of our water deficit in one fell swoop. The rolling thunder and lighting has made for an interesting night and morning with no end really in sight right now. But I am not complaining, we need the rainfall and the lawn does look happier. We might even have to mow when it dries out. The power popping in and out I could do without.

Peter is seeing lots of cool things at San Diego. Apparently the Warner Brothers booth has the Nightowl ship from Watchman for all to see. He did his annual running of the fans which he said was much scarier than last year. The floor is already very crowded and that was only the preview night. It will probably be a zoo the entire weekend.

Here at home the traffic jam is due to the animal parade that Caroline constructed. I have set a time limit as to how long she can keep it and then we put it away. She is happily playing with it and the adventure of the circus animals is getting more and more elaborate.

Project Runaway had a couple of interesting twists. I'm going to be vague here for those of you who recorded it but feel free to comment in the comments with whatever you want to say. I will say that the person who got voted off should have not only for their design (there were ways to deal with the problems of the dress) but for their fashion sense. The ensemble they were wearing on the runway would have me vote them off in a heartbeat. Also I am hoping there is a leather challenge so a certain person will just shut up and get over themselves. How petty were their comments about the others last night? And yes I know they edit what is said to a fare-the-well but jeez why did they say that at all? Overall there are a couple of designers that have my interest and a bunch that if they are aufed I will not shed a tear.

I am grateful for the rain even with it screwing up some of my plans for today.

I am totally with you. Anyone who wears shorts with dock shoes should be shot. Plus a suit jacket on top of that? *shakes head*

There are a few that I'm really pulling for, too.

And for the record, I would wear the "lacing" and the "winning" dresses. And definitely the brown one with the little circle in the front. :^) (You know, if I was 95 lbs and had no boobs. *g*)

It was the jacket that just put it over the top for me. It looked gay tacky emphasis on the tacky.

*nodnod* As soon as I saw him show up on the show, I was like "OMG It's Emmett's son!" *g* Except Emmett dressed a helluva lot better than that...

*is beginning to think that 3 Runway icons aren't enough*

We could use the rain here in Ohio. Our brand new plants and trees are shriveling under the heat, despite our watering them every day. Looks like there's a chance of it this weekend. I'm crossing my fingers.

I hope you get some too.

There are a lot of areas in the US that have less than usual in the moisture department. We had much less snow than usual so we were at a deficit before spring even started. I do have to say that after two days of off and on rain everyone's lawn is looking much better.

My lawn and my crabgrass are both improving. :)

We had huge rain down here in the Atlanta area a couple of times this week. Thank the gods my yards got cut before the rain. Let's hear for the 13 year old!

I am not sure who I like yet on Project Runway. I really liked Suede's dress last night, but I would like it if he stopped with the 3rd person.

I'm just sayin'; To non-costumer me, "Project Runaway" sure sounds more interesting than "Project Runway" (small typo in the post there...). : -)

I have to agree with all your PR comments. I felt sad for the designer who went home, but the chops weren't there.

If Leatherface Cher doesn't stop with the "this isn't my thing, man" riff, I'll cut her off myself. The challenge isn't to reproduce your own aesthetic without variation ad nauseam. It's to infuse your aesthetic into the framework of the challenge. The lacing-up-the-side asymmetrical dress was...okay. Not really that punk or groundbreaking, and certainly not win-worthy. The winning dress actually filled that bill better.

Suede really needs to explore the first person, though. Especially the pronouns.

Ohhhh my goodness that made me so crazy. The 'this isn't what I DO!' whinges make me nuts every season but usually they get at least a few more challenges in before someone really starts griping that none of the clothing so far fits into their area. I really try not to be mean and spiteful (although it is fun at times) but at this early point, I would be entirely too amused for there to be a leather challenge and for it to be the cause of her elimination. *sigh*

I got my husband into PR back in season one and while he won't always sit through the whole thing with me, he always comes out to watch the runway so we can comment and critique together. This week I couldn't decide which appalled me more about Voted Off Guy, the visible stitches and miserable design idea of his dress or the boat shoes/shorts/jacket combo. Yeesh.

(If you ever were to see me in person, you'd know I'm the last person with any right to complain about ANYone's sense of style and fashion. *grin* But it's still fun.)
