Really Important Things.

This has been a bad week for sleep. I’m staying up too late, I’m tired all the time, and so on. It’s taken a toll on creativity. Hopefully that toll will be offset slightly this weekend. I have good plans in place, like an early night tonight and some writing dates with friends.

Fingers crossed. I need to finish some stuff in the next week or so.

I think it’s time for me to spend a moment to make a statement about certain important things. “Important things,” in this instance, being last night’s Project Runway. More specifically, Gretchen.

Until last night — and really, until last night’s judging — I was ready and willing to go to bat in the face of Gretchen Hate. She’s skilled, she’s talented, and she’s got opinions. Were some of those opinions a little catty? Um, hello. Project Runway.

But yes, I’ve had a super short fuse for Gretchen Hate on account of so much of it being the sort of ridiculous misogynist bile that women with ideas and chops tend to get subjected to.

And then last night’s shenanigans went down, someone who didn’t deserve to get auf’d got auf’d, and I’m cranky about it. Not that it has any sort of real effect on my way of life or anything, but I’m disappointed. Thank you, so-called reality television, for making my life that much more ridiculous.

I still loathe the misogyny that goes along with the Gretchen Hate, and will probably continue to snarl about it in the usual channels, but I’m also saying the captain should have gone down with her ship.

Way, way down.

Just a reminder that there are good causes in play and folks raising money for Race For The Cure and the MS Bike Tour, as well as the Help Pakistan auctions, which end Sunday.

Expect a proper linkdump in the next few days when I’m more awake.
