Top Chef is up
Jan. 5th, 2012 06:29 pmPrevious episode here, and last night's is here.
Non spoilery excerpt: "In the most amazing aside in Top Chef history, we take a trip back to Sgt. Handsome’s Malibu abode, where it is filled with pictures he’s painted of boobs. NO, REALLY. Huh. So he’s not gay. He’s really into the ladies. See? See all of the tah-tahs with their rosy tips? Damn, son. It’s like he was weaned on Nagel and velvet paintings of hookers.
I am having wine for dinner. I am tore up with the tired. (Markham, merlot. half the price of the cab, every bit as tasty. Open it a half-hour before drinking, it's fab.)

(Did you see H2$ twice already, btw? And if you're not wanting to talk about fannish shit here no worries. Just curious.)

A friend in NYC I just caught up with told me how she couldn't get tickets for BLAINE and I about died, because I had no idea she was a closet fangirl. She saw Dan twice. :D
I HAVE HAD A BOTTLE OF WINE FOR DINNER, I AM CHATTY. SO. Feel free to ignore me. Or poke me with sticks, I'm sure I won't notice.

Date: 2012-01-06 05:19 am (UTC)*cough I'm seeing it next week and closing night cough* long story but um that's happening.I could talk about yesterday's performance, yeah, after I get a night's sleep in. I'm less annoyed at how badly the audience behaved when they realized Jane Lynch was there ('twas not good) and a little less :-//////// about Max Adler elbowing me in the arm while he was taking a picture with a fan in the aisle while I was trying to exit the theater. The crowd at the stage door was WORSE than opening night. Very wild.
I'm actually sorting out my feelings about Darren's take on the role. One of my friends is crashing at my apartment and saw DanRad's take on it and they really took different approaches, especially during a pivotal scene. It's very interesting, especially how Darren interprets one of the songs.
