Procrastination is what I'm doing lately as usual. I've been watching a lot of Grand Designs via Tudou. I have a few favorites like the woodsman cottage built the traditional way and materials. I also like the barn conversion with treehouse inside. Before the water tower conversion in London was my favorite but after watching the woodsman cottage, it's my new favorite. I like it very much because its was a man with modest dreams, he didn't have much money, he didn't have modern conveniences but his determination was so inspiring. He cut the sweet chestnut wood from the forest in his land and the plaster that he used was clay dug out of his pond. He didn't hire contractors, on site architect nor a project manager. He did ask an architect to help him design the house and recruited volunteers to help him build the house. A but hippie like with the volunteers but he is definitely a man of poverty; excuse my language. It's all this simplicity and kind of gives that nostalgia feeling when the world was very simple. A world when humans build with their hands and their own strengths without complicated machinery. Watching Grand Designs, I do feel of dreaming of building my own house but I do have a dream of living in a Victorian House with a small backyard.
Moving on, RPDR is now on their last 3 queens. I will skip the previous episode, all I can say is Coco went home! Finally! This week the main challenge had the queens make looks out of candy or inspired by it. I like this episode of each season because it challenges the queens creativity. But before that lets talk about more of the episode. The mini challenge they were do a bitch fest, puppet style as they did last season. Alaska won the mini challenge and won a 15 seconds head start on diving into the materials. Jinkx' narcolepsy starts to kick in while she was doing her outfit. Alaska's outfit starts to fall apart before they walked into the runway. How she pulled it off? I'm not sure but in the ending theme you can see it start to rip apart.
Roxxxy was very confident on this challenge because she was a seamstress but doesn't mean she's a designer. She gunning for Jinkx; it was obvious that Roxxxy is no longer thinking when she's talking. She questions Jinkx talents such as singing, acting and performing further adding that those are not what the next superstar should be doing. Thinking back though, RuPaul was a singer, made movies and was a TV talk show host. Well well well think before you say anything. At this point it was also obvious that Roxxxy and Detox are just pulling each other's wieners. The saying "your best friend is your worst enemy" applies here, because they just compliment each other; gone blind in guiding each other to the right direction.
Lets cut it short, Alaska won the main challenge but I do feel like she looks like Raja's Hair Extravaganza look; Cotton Candy bitches. I liked her cougar look very well executed and thought out. she was in character in all 3 looks. Jinkx's look I think is more avant-garde but may not be well executed; it does have the potential to be a great look. She wanted to be a reindeer wrapped in Christmas candy. Roxxxy's look was ok but not really a "couture" look, it looks as used a lot of times on the show; it looks pedestrian. She is probably safe because of the whole line up that she prepared. Detox did her "Nothing's gonna stop us now" look for her executive look. Her couture look... Well it looks like a traffic sign. And so, Detox and Jinkx were in the bottom. Jinkx really worked it and deserved to stay. I can't wait for the finale, I'm hoping for Alaska and Jinkx on top 2. Alaska now is the only queen who didn't have to lip sync for her life so she could win this one. Jinkx is super talented and endearing so she has a huge potential to win as well.
So what else can we talk about? I am so tempted to buy a Wii U! But I don't see any good games yet. I watched a video about Zombi U but the review it got was bad though. The only game I can see playing with it at the moment is Super Mario Bros. U and Batman Arkham City. I do have Zelda Skyward Sword for Wii so I guess I can play that. The Wii U doesn't play DVD or Bluray videos so it can't pass as an entertainment machine. I have been reading about how to jailbreak it. The Wii U system can't be jail broken yet but the Wii system can be hacked in to. There are a few great games that came out for the 3DS, Luigi's Mansion and Castlevania. So difficult to control my spending because it could spin out of control and that's is not good.
Just an update on BFFL, I did say I will post the first strip early April. I haven't made any new strips so I'm not so feeling a publication yet. Also my first strip I feel is a bit cliche so I'm thinking of making a another strip to be the first in publication. I am thinking of publishing April 24 so it would be like 4-24, if not I will publish next month May 15 so it's 5-15. Forget the year, it's making it more complicated LOL. I guess that's it for now. See you soon bitches!
