No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

FYI, anyone who, like me, has no TV anymore, OMGDance has the most SYTYCD videos, more than Rickey. And none of the "novelty" ones, I don't think. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eee! Lil'C retweeted me! Cause I think he kicks ass.

This is the kind of thing that makes me want to get on the twitter.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm just catching up this thread since I only watched SYTYCD last night. For the Lady Gaga/Mark performance, here's a hi-def version: [link] Just. whoa.

Ooh, thanks for the hi-def--I couldn't even tell it was Mark, in the other one! (And I don't watch Idol).

Is it bad that I had heard that Lady Gaga song somewhere before, and somehow assumed it was an old Cher song?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

um. wow.

thanks for the link. Mark has buffed the fuck up. dang di dang dang.

meara, that song has a full-on 80s sound to it. I can imagine it with a pairing of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" during a climatic scene in Footloose.

I was thinking St Elmo's Fire.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

With the sax and all -- Rob Lowe's character's big break!

Our little Mark is all grown up! Here's a great summary of some of his work on SYTYCD and his Gaga stuff.

thank you for that link. (sigh)

You know, I have mixed feelings about Gaga, but I will give her this: her dancing ain't great, but she puts on a helluva show. Good for her.
