Some things I would have posted before but I was too excited about the Project Runway finale

Here are some things. I have not really tried to make them funny. This could be the manifestation of my shock over the Project Runway finale, or it could be a symptom of some sort of horrible brain disease that only Dr. House can diagnose. “How did she act before the accident?” “She seemed grumpier than usual, but other than that –” “Grumpier? Aha! Get out the brain saw, Cameron.”

• The live-action Simpsons opening is pretty cool. I know, we’re way late on this one. See above brain-fungus excuse.
• This morning I woke up an hour before the alarm, tormented by the thought that Veronica Mars had come back with new episodes last night and the DVR had failed to record it. It turns out they just keep moving the new episodes later (which means the George Michael and Maeby episode is now March 29, and new episodes return next week). I don’t like this trend one bit. What have they got to hide?
• The Onion AV Club Blog knows their shit. They’ve said everything that needs to be said about Black.White. And in the process they name-check Zach Morris, which makes them official Friends of TiFaux.
• Do you watch MythBusters on the Discovery Channel? Man… it’s awesome. It’s like a science show (think Bill Nye or 3-2-1 Contact) for adults. Also caters to the “Let’s crash things!” impulse we all share (admit it).
• The Office is not new tonight, but if you’ve never seen it, this is a good one to start. 9:30 PM, NBC. It’s Diversity Day!
• And Heather Havrilesky, my favoritest TV writer, weighs in on Runway.

And now to cherish my final moments before the madness and delusion and uncontrollable vomiting sets in, which I’m sure will be the next set of symptoms up on the differential diagnosis whiteboard. Can they save me?
