Come on, he was totally adorable tonight.

Ryan first can't find Paula, then flounces off to the upstairs lair as if he had a cape, then announces, oddly, that Simon didn't realize the show was live last night. (?) I should say here that I really like a man in a turtleneck. That said, I think black turtleneck + Diesel jeans + grey on grey pinstriped blazer = really, really, really gay. Also, anyone who doesn't understand why anyone would think Ryan is adorable should just watch him with LaKisha before and after she sang. That pillow fight thing, though, was just sort of silly.

Hey Harry/Draco Types

Harry/Draco Types: If I had an H/D story, where should I post it? It isn't a first time story, but a them-as-adults story. (emmagrant01, don't you have some sort of comm or something? I think legomymalfoy's is a first time one isn't it?) Why I have this story will become clear later. Thanks!

Meanwhile, some entirely premature eulogies. There are six episodes of Studio 60 and four episodes of Veronica Mars left of their seasons, and then, I think, those shows are over. ( Why I don't mind. )

Meanwhile, another waste is the ever-enlarging empire of the production company Magical Elves, who brought us Project Runway (love!), Top Chef (1: brilliant, 2: ugly), Top Design (yawn) and now some hair styling show. Hair styling? Seriously? I suggest forgoing this in favor of the superlative Blow Dry, starring Alan Rickman and Bill Nighy as old rivals in competitive hair styling, with Josh Hartnett and Rachel Leigh Cook as their star-crossed-lover children. As for this week's Top Design, I found I couldn't bring myself to care, though I'm not sad at all to see the end of ( spoiler )

, but in the previews ( spoiler )

is crying and that is NOT on.

These are your finalists, America

Ryan is suited up and shaved up tonight, apparently signifying that Important Things Are Afoot. Which means, actually, a lot of dragging out the results and vague cruelty to the contestants. But it also meant the announcement of a big charity appeal, which I kind of knew was the "big announcement" Ryan's been teasing all week. I'm glad they're doing things here as well as abroad; this country has a third-world country inside of it, and if you don't believe me, check out our infant mortality rate sometime.

( A digression regarding the charity trips. )

( Ryan gets out his anger, so deeply buried, by being sadistic toward the contestants, and we get to watch. )

First poll of the year! Now, this is how the poll works, and if I could code it to force this, I would: if you put someone in, you have to take someone out of the same gender. In other words, play by the rules of the show, please.
