And even though nothing extraordinary happened today, you want to remember it anyway, 'cause when are you going to see a sky that exact shade of blue and see those autumn leaves pop with colour?

And now I'm on the couch, alternately watching a downloaded episode of Project Runway and writing in here. I really think I like Jeffrey, even though everybody thinks he's an ass for the way he treated Angela's mother. Okay. So, he was an ass, but I still like him, anyway. But I guess the fact that he's gone from being a suicidal junkie living out on the streets to being one of the finalists of Project Runway is kind of inspirational.

Then again, I'm a sucker for tales of redemption. I like the notion that you can hit rock bottom and still attempt to redeem yourself --- 'cause people who just give in to their depression and just give up...well, there's really not a whole lot I can say to that. I mean, on the one hand, I kinda know what it's like to be scraping rock bottom and feeling like your life's not worth shit and that it'd be better for you and the rest of the world if you just didn't exist anymore.

But I think that those who struggle past whatever crap they're feeling and soldier on are...well, you can't help but feel a bit of admiration for them.

When they had to go and design a dress out of trash, I thought Jeffrey's piece was a whole lot more interesting and creative than Michael's.

Michael's probably going to win it, though.
