Word of the Day: Resemblance

re·sem·blance
The state or quality of resembling, especially similarity in appearance or in external or superficial details.
Something that resembles another; a likeness or semblance.

I look forward to Wednesdays because that's the day Entertainment Weekly publishes its recap of Tuesday's Amazing Race Episode. Not because I need to know what happened on the last episode because a. the show sucks this season and I don't care and b. despite this I keep watching it. The reason I'm excited for it each Wednesday is cause I love the writer. Laura's written about it in her blog before - he's just got this great sense of sarcasm and wit that we really enjoy.

But this week there was a different writer. Same column, same topic, same recap of the episode, but so not the same. It was merely a resemblance of the column I am used to reading.

The writer is what makes the column, not the substance. Without the sarcastic style I've come to admire, this column was just a page of pointless uninteresting words.

So I thought I'd share my disapointment. By writing about it on a blog that is not mine. Hmmm...

Perhaps...someone...should get their own blog? Besides, I like reading what you've written. It only adds, m'dear.

What perfect timing for the EW writer to be out and have a fill-in writer. That's so fitting.
