this is how my brain works, or doesn't, as it were

[healingmirth]

I am almost-perpetually in a state of having just forgotten something, at which point there is a very present feeling of having just forgotten something. This has been known to happen in the time between thinking "I should look that up," while in the middle of a paragraph, and opening a tab to google 30 seconds later. I eventually remember what it is above 90% of the time, though, so it's not as bad as it could be.

Every time I go to sleep with wet hair, I feel stuffy and headache-y all the next morning. Every time! One would hope, as it takes about five minutes to dry my hair, that someday I will cease to go to bed with wet hair. Am about to go take a shower, so we'll see if I learn that lesson tonight.

I'm going to go see the matinee of Lend Me a Tenor with my mother on Saturday, and while I really can't expect my mother to want to walk a mile in the city at noon if the weather's anywhere near as bad as it was today, I sort of feel like a failure for not advocating for taking the train in.

ETA: Why does it never occur to me that there are cabs in New York when I am thinking about transportation? I tend to ignore the subway, too, unless I'm going waaaay up- or downtown.

SYTYCD tonight went as it should have, but I missed the opening routine because of technical difficulties. I really enjoyed both of the musical guests for pretty much the first time ever, but I had to fast-forward through Desmond Richardson's routine, and I feel a bit like a failure for being uninterested in his work. I didn't watch the classical ballet earlier this season either.

Project Runway also went precisely as it should have. A.J. whatisname and Michael Costello are my favorites to watch so far, so I hope their designs hold up at least for a few weeks.

Oh hey! The first routine was all all-stars, and while Mark was there (yay!) it was... odd. In the same sort of odd way most of the solos (except Lauren) were, and Desmond Richardson. I love Desmond Richardson - I've seen him do some really interesting work - but this piece just didn't work for me at all.

This is the first project runway post I've seen! I'm sad because I didn't start taping until this week (I only saw the back half, I don't even know anybody yet), and I am sad. I'm looking forward to next week's challenge though - there's not enough of the 'make stuff out of this weird junk' challenges anymore for my taste.

It's interesting that the contestants weren't in the routine, and that they only had two routines and no solo on the performance show. Maybe a light week leading up to the finale in the hopes of not breaking any more dancers.

I don't post much about Project Runway but I've watched at least the past three seasons as it aired. One of my RL friends is a big-time fan, so I tend to get my talking about it done there. I feel like the only thing I've posted before was how I hated Kenley, and then sort of hated myself for hating Kenley.

A very light week, judging by the solo routines. The only one that was really polished (or intelligible) was Lauren. I'm so pleased she and Kent were the top two.

I almost never post about Project Runway either, but I do watch, and I keep an eye out for it on my flist. I was ambivalent about Kenley; I liked her aesthetic, but it was a bit one-note. My gf HATED her, and it was funny to watch her pull faces every time a Kenley piece came onscreen.
