Thanks, everyone, for your patience while we figure out how to blog with regularity.

Thank you.... mom and dad for feeding me, among other things. Thank you, boy, for being nice even when I'm not. Thank you M, for being lovely and yet just like me, but also different enough that we can still talk to each other.

Project Greatness

I've been struggling to care about pop culture lately. I've been bored/overwhelmed by the happenings; the fact that my day job blocks all internet access except to Staples.com certainly hasn't helped. Without celebrity blogs/movie reviews/television show recaps tempting me, I've developed a fascination with the weekly specials on Staples.com and a deeper understanding of the vast product line they offer--so much more than office supplies! But nothing to blog home about, and I've been getting worried. Has all my preaching about the values of pop culture and the pure joy of mass entertainment been false? Have I worked myself into a frenzied defense of something that is, actually, as flimsy and empty as is commonly believed? No. We mustn't forget: Project Runway returns November 14th, and will restore balance in my world, if not everyone else's. Michael Kors is gonna make hyperbolic comments and weird faces, Nina Garcia is gonna be a bitch who knows exactly what shes talking about, and Heidi Klum will be so adorable that she may be eaten with a spoon. If it wasn't for Project Runway, I might not be here anymore. Here being this site, not Earth, and I only clarify that because, I am sure that Project Runway can prevent suicide, just not in this particular instance. Let the countdown begin to November 14th, and if you are feeling down or detached from society, just hold out a little longer, and, as Tim Gunn would say, make it work. Read more!
