I love the shows on Bravo, however the best one is hands down 'Project Runway' which kicks off a new season tomorrow night. Despite it moving over to Lifetime next season, I still have hopes this will be a fun season. If you want to visit a great fan site, a friend of mine always raves about this one: Project Rungay! Check it out for witty commentary done by some witty gays! YAY! It's a scream!
I did my iPhone 2.0 update last week, and the first game I downloaded was Super Monkey Ball! I remember playing this a few years ago and loving it! I can't stop playing it on the phone, it is a lot of fun, and strange to tilt the phone all over the place to get thru all the turns and such. But I am very glad you can now play games on the iPhone!
