I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The one who actually bugs the most is the GH girl. She's so obviously playing the "I'm so cute and sexy. You know you want me. A vote for me is a vote for porn!" and it just bugs because she hasn't even made an attempt to actually learn the dances. Bleagh

She looked like she was really concentrating last week, and they bagged on her for not smiling, so she gets some sympathy from me. Rachel Hunter was bugging me last week because her partner was just tossing her around - she really looked like she had no idea what she was doing, but he made her look good anyway. But she got better, I think.

These are the burning questions in the office lunch room.

No one at my office watches it, alas. I really want to know how they combine the scores. At first it sounded like they'd just add the judges scores onto the audience votes, but that can't possibly be right. It must be some kind of ranking system, but what?

When is the ballroom dance show on?

Wednesday 9/8 central on ABC

I'm actually worried about Katie Holmes. She doesn't seem to realize that she's a beard. She seems to be genuinely in love/limerance/infatuated. She's going to be a bitter bitter woman when she susses it out.

At this point I've had to give up realistically hoping that she will come to her senses or get out of this thing unhurt. I think I'm going to switch to crossing my fingers that when the inevitable blow up happens, it'll be a nuke that blows his closet door off its hinges forever.

I want a live network feed of Katie chasing a half-dressed hustler into the street, smacking him repeatedly with the Golden Globe Tom won for Jerry Maguire, and screaming "SHOW ME THE HUSH MONEY!!!"

Art Crawl!!!

Woo hoo Cashmere and dh and Owen!

Also, I loved the kittens story -- I bet they just blamed both of them because, of course, neither of them were acting guilty.

I missed the Katie H on Letterman.

Will the ballroom dance show repeat on Sunday this week too?

And summer hours started at work so I've been awake less than an hour! (Summer hours means looonger days Monday through Thursday and Fridays off.)

Katie is also an actress with a film to promote, and she's in her late 20s. I'm sure that if the relatonship is fake, it's as fake for her as it is for Tom. The fact she's classically cute doesn't make her dumb.

Has anyone seen the trailer for the Rent movie? Jesse Martin is in it (thank gooddess) and seemingly lots of the original cast. And Rosario Dawson. I'm trying to work out how I feel about all that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm sure that if the relatonship is fake, it's as fake for her as it is for Tom.

I like Katie Holmes's work. But if she's had this level of dissemination ability in her the whole time, she should have thrown it up onscreen.

Yeah, they kept the original cast for every role except Joanne and Mimi. I think the trailer looks good, but I'm really preconditioned to love the film.

I can't really get over Rosario Dawson as Mimi. Can she sing?

I saw the original cast like a month after it opened with my GATT. Or maybe she wasn't my girlfriend, she was more like my Girlfiend with whom I was Cheating on my boyfriend at the time....

anyhow, the show is tied up in all of that for me. Though I DO use Seasons of Love in my class.

Cashmere, you crazy close-child-spacing woman! Congratulations.

Cash has nothing on my co-worker. she is my age(soon to be 26!) and will have 3 kids under 3 within the month. INSANE!

It looks like it's repeating next Wednesday before the new episode.

There are more chances to see Vanilla Ice on Bravo next Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon, too.
