Seems like everyone had really weird dreams last night. Our carbon monoxide/smoke detector thing keeps going off for a few seconds here and there. I think that means it's time to change the batteries, but I suspect it probably screwed with mydreams, which were difficult and involved dead people I never knew but that friends of mine did, which is why I'm sort of not actually posting, because that's weird.

Today I must continue to run down the missing checks and write lots of AC stuff and hope none of them wind up with the content producer who gives me terrible offers.

Hi there!

And ironically, I had a dream about two Project Runway people last night. (sorta)

I had a real problem with the last episode's challenge. Out of all of the dresses, I thought that Kane's dress was the best. It was very sleek and tasteful from the front, with a little bit of daring in the back. Plus it showed that Kane was willing to grow as a person, and make a dress that was a little different from his usual fare. The model looked stunning in the dress, and I thought that it was perfect as a cocktail party outfit. But ... oh, sorry Kane. You were supposed to make it black and white, not black with some white accessories. When confronted with this issue, he simply said honestly that he tried to incorporate more white into the dress, but that it really didn't work. Anyone else would have come up with arcane excuses, but Kane was surprisingly up front about it. And, he definitely left the show with more aplomb than any of the previous contestants.

I think the thing that bothered me the most about this challenge was not just that I liked Kane's dress the best, but the byzantine requirements that they were forced to fulfill. In previous seasons, they were limited by material, or they were limited to a particular type of design, etc. But this challenge was just: It has to be something that could be worn to a cocktail party. Oh, and it has to be black and white. Oh yes, and you also have to use all of the material you buy without one scrp left over. Mm-hmm. And while we're at it, we're bringing back two of the previous contestants who now have to win, or both be kicked off again. That's all. Unless one of those two re-run contestants actually, win, in which case two of YOU will be kicked off instead of just one. Now go to it. Make sure you show us some improvement. But don't do anything avant-garde, because we want it to be classic.

I just wanted to scream: "Look, would you guys just PICK a weird conditional requirement and stick with it?"

Hi there!

You know what I'd also love to see on this show, JUST ONCE?

I'd love for two of the judges to get into an argument about a particular piece to the point of raising their voices:

NG: "Well, I absolutely loved Uli's design, I thought it really brought a sense of elegance to the --"
MK: "That piece of Crap?, have you gone BLIND, Garcia!? I wouldn't let my fucking DOG wear that thing for peeing on the carpet!!"

I am starting to get sick of watching the judges smugly agree on everything.
