CHALLENGE: America's Next Top Roommate

Wednesday means two things to me: Top Model and blog challenges.

So it was a natural fit that we combine these two weeknight rituals for LeahhatesKris's inaugural America's Next Top Roommate challenge.

Taking a cue from tonight's episode, Kris and I will demonstrate the "action modelling" lessons we picked up from veteran top model Gabrielle Reece. Each roommate must select a "verb" and "adverb" (gold star to Tyra for upping ANTM's educational content) and model the results.

Will camera-shy Leah pull an Anchal and "flee aggressively" in shame?

Or will the judges finally realize "mature model" Kris could break a hip on the runway, and boot him back to the Stettler A&W?

You decide. Who's gonna be on top?

Hot! Hot! Chip!

Despite the headline (and you'll see what I mean by clicking, here) Monday's Hot Chip show was excellent.

So excellent that Toronto was dancing. And not just that typical big-city self-conscious head-bobbing. I think I actually spotted one guy voguing.

I'm not about to give Toronto too much credit, though. Not yet.

The second song in, I distinctly heard a loud shout of "Edmonton!" At first I thought it was just some weird self-important delusion. Then I noticed Cadence Weapon was about three rows behind me. That would probably explain it.

If only there were more Edmontonian hipster celebrities available for export.

Hello Toronto, Goodbye Roommate?

I'm back.

Kris, however, isn't.

I'm not going to trouble the police with his missing-ness. No need to rouse the bloodhounds or dredge the ravines. There's a few extra boxes of raisin bran in the kitchen; he's still lurking somewhere.

But he's scared. Scared of the competition to come.

What's the matter, little Kwis? Aren't you roommate enough?
