you're HIRED!

*hand gesture* Who needs to be an apprentice of the Donald? Not me! :) I will probably continue to do "freelance" work on the side as my schedule permits because it is so lucrative, but thankfully it will no longer be my main source of income. I can't divulge any more information than that at the moment, confidentiality blah blah blah. Suffice to say my weekend started off nicely.

Back on topic, I think the first season of any reality show is usually the best. I never watched Survivor or American Idol after the first season. Real World has gone downhill. I don't even bother with copycats/spinoffs (The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Super Nanny, etc.) Like most movies, the sequel (or trilogy, or um, quadogy? etc.) just doesn't deliver. For instance, I thought Scream was pretty cool but the 2nd and 3rd weren't as good. I am not into 'fantasy' type movies like The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter or Star Wars so maybe those are the exception and get progressively better because they always seem to generate a lot of buzz. Even the Meet the Parents sequel fell a little flat, because it relied on a bunch of gags from the original.

You know what I will tune in for next season if they bring it back? Project Runway! I love PR like a fat kid loves cake. I'd probably watch a spinoff of it on a different station, too. It is interesting to see the designers create garments in such challenging circumstances. I do wish that one episode would give them ample time to complete one challenge, to show who is a procrastinator and scrambles to finish by the deadline and who uses their days wisely. But of course that would never happen because they have a production schedule to adhere to. I also wish they wouldn't eliminate designers every week and would base their score off everyone's final portfolio. ha ha, this is becoming diva's PR diaries lately, but I can't help it. The show consumes me, dammit!
