I like the song on the Volvo commercial with the ethereal-looking woman wearing a white dress. It’s by this Swedish guy named Melpo Mene. 

The Project Runway finale is tonight, after which we’re going to either cancel or downgrade our cable, because, really, what is there to watch on cable anymore, unless you have the premium channels (which we don’t)?

Bye Bye Comcast, hello Netflix.

the springer spaniel.

very cute, but totally anti-climactic. You can tell Lester Holt is disappointed.

The standard poodle may have just gotten some boos from the audience as the best in show competition kicks off.

Favorite: PBGV (left) - the winner in tonight’s hound group. Beat those poodles and that dandy shrimp-looking thing (right) too!

In bunk dog show news, the poodle lobbyists are obviously paying off judges! Not one but two poodles are in the running for Best in Show in New York at this week’s Westminster Kennel Club Show.

First up - in the toy group (left) it’s the toy poodle who beat the Pug and Brussels Griffon. The only silver lining is that the poodle muscled the Pekingese out of first. That is small comfort as later in the non-sporting group competition, ANOTHER poodle took top prize, this time a standard (right).

I smell a scandal!

So, tonight is the night of Project Runway’s finale and I’m sure there are plenty of spoiler posts out there, but I will not be reading them. So, if you haven’t read them either and you are a PR fan, post your predictions in the comments. A) Will Jeffrey be eliminated from the competition and B) Who will win?

I’m going to go on record as saying that Jeffrey will get kicked off, but still gets to show at Bryant Park. (Actually, I know he gets to show because I saw photos from his show weeks ago.) I am also going to bet that B) Uli wins.

If I didn’t think Jeffrey were getting kicked off I would say he will win. Michael, the favored designer, doesn’t have a strong collection. Laura’s pieces are well-made, but I think the judges will end up thinking that they’re too matronly.

So, to recap:

A) Does Jeffrey get kicked off?
B) Who wins Project Runway Season 3?

My answers: A) Yes B) Uli

P.S. People.com has some footage from tonight’s episode that you might want to watch before you decide.

- Snakes on a Plane - Has Samuel called you yet?

- Best wishes to my crazy co-worker Patrick who is subjecting himself to a triathlon RIGHT NOW.

There is literally no way to describe the coolness of the bobblehead I recently got in the mail for my birthday. If you don’t watch The Office (yes, yes, the American one), then I suggest you start.

First of all, without seeing this thing in person you cannot take in the full effect of its bobbleheadedness (although I think the photo above gives you a little bit of the essence). Second of all, you can’t see that this is the most expensive-looking bobblehead ever made. The best part has to be the part in Dwight’s hair. Genius.

If I were famous I would want to be on a bobblehead.

Check out this video of Ex-Monkee Peter Tork interviewing my co-worker Greg Tulonen (aka THE Movie Boy) outside of a film premiere in Northampton Thursday night. If you don’t have Flash Player, you should probably get it. Or you can read this handy transcript:

Movie Boy: Thanks for talking to me.
Peter Tork: I haven’t yet.
Movie Boy: OK, well now you have.
Peter Tork: I was talking to him over there….
Movie Boy: Oh. Ok. Can you tell me who you play in the movie?
Peter Tork: No.
Movie Boy: OK.
Peter Tork: [grabs the mic] I do not know my character’s name. [returns mic]
Movie Boy: OK um … Can you tell me how you got involved in the project?
Peter Tork: Uh yeah… Donnie Moorhead, uh, Moor, uh uh, asked me.
Movie Boy: Donnie Moorhouse.
Peter Tork: Donnie Moorhouse asked me just said you wanna do this thing? I said absolutely.
Movie Boy: Excellent. You didn’t even read the script you just said yes right off the bat?
Peter Tork: I was in the neighborhood. I had nothing to do but this, so I did it.
Movie Boy: How long was the shoot?
Peter Tork: [gestures in order to indicate some physical length of the shoot] How are you framing? However wide… about this long.
Movie Boy: Can you tell me about any other projects you’re working on right now?
Peter Tork: You really don’t care about these answers do you? You’re just, oh, he says he does.
Movie Boy: I care deeply.
Patrick [camera operator]: He’s Movie Boy
Peter Tork: He’s… one more time?
Patrick: he’s movie boy on MassLive. People listen to him.
Peter Tork: Ok. Um, what was the question? Other projects? Shoe Suede Blues my band. Peter Tork and Shoe Suede Blues is my blues band. That’s what I do, that’s what I love to do and that’s what I hope to do more of.
Movie Boy: OK.
Patrick: Are you planning on coming to Northampton?
Peter Tork: I am in Northampton
Patrick: yeah, but I mean to play with your…
Peter Tork: Oh yes, I hope to, obviously I would love to if I can, whoever allows me to play in Northampton that’s what I want to do. Just let me play. All I ask is that you answer.
Movie Boy: Alright
Movie Boy: Thanks for talking to me.
