A Brief Checkup

Howdy, folks. I'm still in the middle of my visit with Gina, and we're having a fine old time. We took a trip down to see her step-sister graduate this past weekend, and Gina was feeling a bit under the weather, but now we've both recuperated and are ready to have a little fun over the next couple of days. I'll tell you all about it later.

For now, I have one show I have to tell you about.

Read these next few words slowly and dramatically. Try not to skip ahead.

Craft. Corner. DEATHMATCH!

This doesn't really count as "reality," I guess, since it's a game show. Plus, it's way too bizarre to really be considered "real." Just picture a suited host jacked up on caffeine, random fashion-oriented judges, and two craft-oriented contestant-lady types who must build what the show demands in a certain amount of time (like a purse built out of shipping materials in 10 minutes). It's a lot like Iron Chef for people who watch Home and Garden TV all the time. Sort've. Instead of an Iron Chef that always wins the final round, there's an Iron Frau Barbissina scary woman that builds all her crafts perfectly. Or something like that. I actually can't believe a show like this exists. I also can't believe that I wrote that last paragraph at all, so maybe we both can forget about this little situation, capice?

Anyway, it's actually pretty funny to watch, if you've got the Style Network. A show this bizarre is probably the only reason I'd find myself stopping the TV dial on the Style Network. Check it out, if you DARE (and if you're secure enough in your orientation of choice).

And oh yeah, Otey and I found an apartment today. Huzzah! More news on that to come.
