Project Runway, The Tigers and what I'm reading and watching
What's up with all the controversy at Project Runway? All these people all so interested in who might or might not get to show at Fashion Week? Did they not pay attention when Fashion Week actually took place to see the pictures from everyone's collections? EVERYONE got to show, people. No got kicked off because of cheating-although I don't believe Jeffrey did all the work himself.
From fashion to science fiction-I'm still reading a lot of Charles Stross-and The Iron Sunrise was great. The sequel to Singularity Sky features Stross's usual wit and subversive sense of humor. The bad guys turn out to be not quite the evil Nazis that they seemed to be, the people in charge turn out to be NOT what they seemed and the good guys are just trying to keep eight million people from dying-is that too much to ask? I'm reading Accelerando now-the prequel to Singularity Sky and it's much like William Gibson's Pattern Recognition-very much in a future we can recognize but is still recognizably different. He has a new book coming out soon-a sequel to The Atrocity Archives and I'm looking forward to it, but I have to read the Chelsea Quinn Yarbro vampire book and F. Paul Wilson's new Repairman Jack book first...
And the Tigers-woohoo! Who would have thought after losing 119 games three years ago that they'd be in the Series? My Dad and I have argued for years over the "good pitching beats good hitting every time" (I didn't think this was true) but the Tigers have shown this old adage to be true. Let's hope their pitching can hold up and they get some big hits (thank you, Magglio Ordonez!) and hopefully they won't need any more bottom-of-the-ninth-2 on-2 outs heroics. Knowing how they've played this season, that's exactly what will happen.
Lost has been reeling me in more and more and I hope they keep it up-but I've also been watching Heroes, which has has been very good as well. The boys over at Supernatural are going through some hard times, as have the crew on Battlestar Galactica. We'll see what happens....

Yes, it was-I was impressed because I didn't think they had it in them...
