Aspen

My dvr is exploding these days. There’s too much to watch!

Right now, I have these shows being recorded:

–Prison Break
–Top Chef
–Tim Gunn’s Guide To Style
–Heroes
–Mad Men
–The War(PBS doc)
–SNL
–Mad TV(to watch Kula(!) and Dipps’ work)
–Colbert
–Daily Show
–Journey Man

Wow. I think that’s it. I taped Journey Man because I like that actor from Rome. But I snoozed through it. So it’s coming down. But last night, I finally got a chance to plow through some of the muck. Still not through it all but I got a chance to watch Top Chef finally.

So one of the things I like to do the day after I watch Top Chef is to read Gail’s blog and Anthony Bourdain’s blog. I just noticed there are other blogs. Which I knew before because I on occasion will read Tom’s blog and Ted’s blog. Then I realized that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Because you could still read Padma’s blog. But don’t forget Rocco DiSpirito’s blog. And Barton G’s blog. Oh and what about Harold Dieterle’s blog? And lest we neglect Lee Anne Wong’s blog.

Or Ilan’s blog. Sam Talbot’s blog. Marcel Vigneron’s blog. Carlos Fernandez’s blog.

And Andy’s blog.

That’s right, they have FOURTEEN BLOGS about the show! That’s completely overkill. They have like say, 3. Maybe 4. Do we really care what Padma thinks? Personally, I only care about Gail and Anthony, and then occasionally Ted and Tom.

Anyway… the final in Aspen is going to be Dale vs. Casey vs. Hung. It’s prolly really just Casey vs. Hung. I’m rooting for Casey. It’s a lot like Hell’s Kitchen really. The technicians versus the artists. These chefs are so much more accomplished though than the Hell’s Kitchen folks.

Who you got?

Also, I want to know how to get a note to Tim Gunn. I want to know what the 10 staple items for men’s clothing would be. What do you think?

I’m thinking:

–All Purpose Suit
–Fun Or Seasonal Suit(different color, or different fabric)
–Dress Pants
–Classic Dress Shirt
–Casual Pants aka Khakis
–Jeans
–Sweater
–Sportsjacket or Blazer
–Casual shirt
–Polo or similar(I hate the real polo shirt, I like a modified polo)

I need a new sweater I think, a sportsjacket/blazer, and a fun suit.

Based on Heather’s recommedation, I’m going to start taping Kitchen Nightmares tonight.
