Rumblings in the Sky

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*
