Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, we're supposed to be ashamed of that?

I'm not saying you SHOULD be ashamed, but a person who might be ashamed might think that a PBS alternative is more high-brow. (Even though it's not.)

re: the first dancer.

I just watched "Inception" last night, when I heard the first notes of the song, I looked up, a bit alarmed, checking for reality.

I'm glad they are spending less time on the awefuls, I hope that continues.

Also, that stupid dating show with the turning chairs? Why Kat, why? don't make me watch that!

I knew that first dancer was going to go to Vegas before she danced a step. they wouldn't have done the silent film bit if she wasn't going.
