...TLC's new show, "What Not to Wear"? Appalling. Take two snotty "stylists" and have them ambush some poor unsuspecting soul and start trashing her fashion sense and then try to convince her that they can make her life better by changing her clothes. This is like the whole "American Idol" idea of humiliating someone for entertainment value.
So far they've spouted tripe about how image is everything and she's wasting her life by wearing comfortable clothes. What. Ev. Er. Fortunately, the woman they picked seems to have a pretty healthy sense of herself and has pretty much told the "stylists" where to get off a couple times. Ugh. :P
Hildi Hater
I swear, if I were ever to be on Trading Spaces, I would make sure they knew ahead of time, that if they assigned Hildi to my room I would walk off the show. In fact, I would call the cops and have them drag her out of my house if necessary. Good god.
Bliss!
I was able to spend all day curled up with a good book, alternating between reading and napping, without feeling guilty because I was doing my homework! This is the true joy of taking an interesting lit class. I spent most of today rereading Wuthering Heights. I've read it several times since first reading it in high school, but I'm amazed how much more I'm getting out of it this time. Looking forward to reading the rest of the novels this semester.
