The jury-rig fix to my glasses failed this afternoon as the earpiece came completely off. So it was time for another, stronger fix: I broke off part of a plastic pen cap (the part that's supposed to clip onto a pocket) and duct-taped it securely to both the earpiece and the frame. I hope that this holds up until next Thursday. On the plus side, the plastic is much less compressible/flexible than the matchstick was and I've taped it down firmer, so my glasses aren't as floppy as they were and my low-grade headache is disappearing.
Afterwards, I finally got to see the most recent TAR episode, thanks to the copy that my dad taped for me. I believe that I can sum up my reactions in one word: Ew. The entire leg was badly designed, with a Detour with no clear advantages to either choice, immediately followed by a split-bunch that negated most of the effort teams had done up to that point, whether good or bad. The Weavers descended into madness on an 8-hour bus ride. The post-bus "tasks" (test dummy & get your hourly AOL fix, respectively) offered ZERO chance to change your position, so as soon as we the viewers saw the order they got onto that centrifuge, there was no suspense. The Paolos haven't killed each other yet, not even DJ. And next week doesn't look much better, what with one of the tasks taking place at a racetrack. You know, like the one that the Weavers' husband/father died on. Great choice, Amazing Producers. What with Jonathon&Victoria, then Rob&Amber and now this inspired choice for a task seemingly designed to mentally torture one specific team... I'm losing faith in you, guys.
