Very tired today. I got home late last night (my own fault for not being able to beat the final boss in Army of Two... we're so close!) and spent many hours thereafter listening to music.

I've been wanting to get into reggae ever since I played Scarface: The World is Yours, and with my parents' Island Party coming up, I finally had a nice excuse. I've always thought that the song "Steppin' Razor" was really catchy; it certainly keeps getting stuck in my head today.

(For those of you who, like me, only know "Steppin' Razor," as a Halo 3 achievement, Wikipedia says that it means "a dangerous person," i.e. someone who's quick to fight.)

This was my second night staying in town. On Wednesday three of us got together at the Gnome for happy hour sunshine patio goodness drinks (it's less awkward in the original) before going over to Barry's to watch the new season of Project Runway with Jenna.

Gnome milestone: I finally ordered that beer that looks like it comes in a chemistry set. It's good but overpriced.

So, Project Runway. You know how Top Chef contestants seem to get better every year? Forget all that. With only a few exceptions, this season's designers seem like a bunch of dinks. And that dead-eyed guest judge (a contestant from the first season) was visually disturbing.

Irritating contestants are part of the package, of course — to a certain extent they're even part of the draw — and since we can critique the stuff ourselves, there's no Tyra Banks, and we get to listen to the cool blue reason of Tim Gunn, I'm of the opinion that this is the best reality show on television right now.

Although if you haven't seen Operation Kitten Calendar, that was a funny reality show parody. Required viewing for ANTM fans.

(Also, re: Tim Gunn, I think that there are a lot of people out there who can empathize with this. The only reality show personality I like more is caustic Top Chef guest judge Anthony Bourdain.)
