I can’t imagine this would be helpful, but I’m posting it anyway.

Does that mean I’m falling down on the blogging job?  Perhaps.  Does it mean I don’t love you?  Of course not.

Anyway, remember that 7-minute edited version of The Sopranos that was allegedly made by die-hard fans, but was actually just made as a promotional piece?  Well, they’ve done it for The Wire.

Here ya go. [kml_flashembed movie="/IWjLquLREJU" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

I like to think I would’ve picked this one, personally.

And definitely not Sweet P or Victorya’s. Maybe the fun of Kit’s or the structured-ness of Jillian’s would have caught my 18-year-old eye, but who knows.

Tim, as usual, offers his measured take on the prom dresses here. Then come back and tell me which you’d choose.

The outcome of last night’s Project Runway wasn’t really an out-and-out travesty, but it was still a disappointment (spoilers ahead — avert your eyes, innocents).

During a challenge that wasn’t as chock full of drama as it could’ve been (I’m thinking they really could have blown things up into Gossip Girl proportions by involving the girls more), I thought you could have done a lot worse than the loser’s dress. And people certainly did.

Here are my thoughts on the episode in no particular order.

• The scene with the Filipina mom expressing concern over whether Kevin’s dress made her daughter look pregnant was painful to watch. I can envision almost any sort of ethnic mother untactfully expressing her reservations to the designer to the chagrin of her eye-rolling, English-fluent, second generation daughter. It was both painful and endearing, I suppose. In a way.
• I love Sweet P as a person (dresses are hit and miss). In fact, I kind of grow to love her more with each episode. Even though she’s the oldest competitor, she’s got this childlike way of demonstrating her nerves — getting all bug-eyed and trembly, but still smiling through it. That said, her dress was kind of butt and I don’t know why it was in the top two. It made the girl wearing it look as wide as a house.
• Is it wrong to intensely dislike a kid? It’s wrong, right? And if you don’t have anything nice to say, blah, blah. (Although that adage generally goes against the whole idea of the blogosphere) But, suffice to say, Christian’s model… wow… just, wow…
• I’m going to talk about Rami in a whole separate post (it’s complicated), but Jesus God did you see that beefcake towel shot in the beginning? I guess he’s carrying Jack’s torch.
• Victorya’s pretty talented, but try as I might to make her that way, she’s not oozing likability. Maybe it’s just in her nature to be cautious and reserved, but she’s no Chloe Dao. I may as well stop projecting.
• Ricky and his hats need to be shown the door very soon.
• Project Runway Season Four Drinking Game: Drink every time Christian says “fierce,” drink every time Chris says something and cracks himself up, drink every time Ricky cries or explains the context of why this is important to him, drink every time Christian threatens to vomit or die, drink every time Rami is looking supa-fine (I’m drunk just thinking about it).

Stupid Firefox made me lose a huge news post.  So here’s like half of one.
