"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

And I want to reach back in the way back machine to say that I am in awe of the knowledge dropped by megan walker about SYTYCD history with dance counts and just all sorts of fun stuff. Stupid work is keeping me from talking about what's really important in life: dance based reality shows! But I have been enjoying the commentary.

Thanks kat! Your own commentary is always much appreciated.

I finally wrote up both my analysis and my sort-of-random awards.

Hah, love your "best judges comment" and the fact that there's a runner-up best bird. :)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I saw that they have the new Dancing with the Stars "stars" announced; includes Chaz Bono and Carson Kresley (sp?). The controversy has begun.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Man, I shouldn't watch Just Desserts. It makes me want to eat cake ALL THE TIME.

It makes me want to eat cake ALL THE TIME.

It makes me want to bake all the time. And then eat the results.

PR: I love how no one ever knows exactly what "avant garde" is.

What is up with Olivier's accent again? Because he's reminding me of the art gallery guy in Beverly Hills Cop.

Anyone else get the feeling Tim is not ... feeling it yet with any of the designers?

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

He seems a little frustrated.

I'm disappointed no one really let loose with something really out there. Two people with immunity and an avant garde challenge, come on people!

Because books.

Wait, are two people going home this week?

Also, I'm amazed Anya's garment wasn't on top. I was impressed with that one.
