Wednesday

Project Runway is over. Fan favorite - and my favorite to win, Michael Knight (insert obvious Knight Rider joke here), lost to my least favorite designer, Jeffrey Sebelia. To be honest, I had a feeling Jeffrey would win because of the way his story was developed, especially towards the end. Plus, I'd been reading some pretty good reviews about his designs for NY Fashion Week. And, even though I'm very disappointed that Michael didn't win, I'd have to agree that Jeffrey's collection was the most forward-thinking. So, congratulations to him.

Anyway, I think this season's final four are pretty much in for a career in fashion. They each have their own strengths and are all extremely gifted designers. I'm sure they'll be getting calls from varios fashion houses or clothing manufacturers or what have you.

This week's episode of Lost wasn't as compelling as the previous ones. Probably because the focus was on Locke's storyline. Although it is interesting why a killed-off character seems to be making a comeback - via a vision... No rising-from-the-dead developments here (Maybe in future episodes... hehehe).

I am very interested in next week's episode, though. Will Kate finally choose between Jack and Sawyer? We'll see!

Grey's Anatomy. I am so hooked on this show. I was finally able to get my hands on boxed sets of the first two seasons of the "#1 show on television" (according to ABC), and I must say that I'd be more than willing to believe that claim.

First of all, who would've thought that Patrick Dempsey would turn into such a hottie? He was such a dork in the 80's! I still catch myself shaking my head in disbelief sometimes. He's just so HOT!

I didn't like Meredith Grey's character so much at the beginning. I mean, I couldn't understand what made her more desirable than, say, Izzie who's physically better looking. And she didn't have the same interesting personality as Cristina. But she became more likable with every episode.

I believe the turning point for me was the episode with the patient who accidentally shot 7 nails into his head and who needed surgery for a tumor; a surgery that would make him lose his memory. Also, the episode where she convinces a father with Parkinson's disease to undergo a procedure which stopped his tremors and, therefore, made it possible for him to walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding. And the episode where her mother is brought in? That was just heartbreaking.

Mental note: New episode tonight.

Got my first official scare since arriving in Florida almost 3 weeks ago. Had to take a detour coming home yesterday because I noticed a huge SUV following me. At first I thought he was just in a rush and that's why he was driving so close behind me, so I changed lanes to let him pass. Guess what? He changed lanes as well. So I ended up taking a quick trip to the mall just so I could lose him.

It was the first time I felt scared at the house. I became very aware of every little noise that it made: the ref auto defrosting, the clock chiming every 15 minutes, the blinds knocking against my window. My imagination started running wild and I'd be afraid that someone might come up via the waterways and just smash through the sliding doors or something.

I hate, hate, HATE that feeling.

Thank God nothing happened and I woke up to a gloriously warm day.

Mental note: New episode of Smallville tonight, too.
