I finally watched this week’s episode (part 1 of the finale). The following is not a spoiler, just some Laura love:

I adore that when Tim asked for their receipts, Laura apparently had a spreadsheet. (You don’t see it in the episode at all; Tim mentions it in his podcast.) That’s the kind of thing I would have done!

There are some of you with spreadsheets cataloging all your stash–I haven’t gone that route yet. I should have made one when I did the massive stash purge, but I can do it upon move-in, I suppose! I have so little, I’m not sure it’s all that necessary, but I actually think it would be fun to do, if I had some time to devote to it.

Project Runway has been my favorite reality show (ok, along with The Amazing Race) since it very first aired. But that was back when our (free, inexplicable) cable had Bravo. Over the last year and a half, channels have disappeared one by one. We’re down to the most basic of basic cable, which is fine for channel-surfing a bit, and provides for all the Seinfeld, Giada de Laurentis, and Sex and the City we could ever want, so I’m really not complaining too much.

Last season of PR, I either went to a coworker’s apartment or another coworker taped it for me. Because it airs so late, going to my friend’s was becoming a little unwieldy (and a little awkward, imposing on him every week), and since last season, my VCR-enabled coworker has left the company. So I had resigned myself to my sad little fate, since none of my friends who live close by have paid-for cable with Bravo in the lineup.

I lamented this to Laura. And she reminded me that iTunes sells TV shows. I crossed my fingers and: yay! I’ll willingly pay $1.99 an episode—it’s a ton cheaper than paying for cable. Hooray! It’s going to be a good day after all.

To Annie: SHUT UP! How did I not think to check if NBC was reairing episodes! How did I manage to not flip channels at all on Monday night, to discover this myself? Hallelujah! Can this day GET any better!!?? I can download the two episodes I missed, and be all caught up (if perpetually five days behind). Thank you, thank you, thank you! (Boy, am I exclamation-happy today.)
