Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(I mean, not amazing, but good enough, y'know?)

Yeah, I find that confusing sometimes. Mostly because I don't know anything about dance, of course!

meara, you are welcome to watch SYTYCD at chez kat p any time, as are any buffistae who happen to be in the area when it's on.

The thing with Audrey (the ballet girl with the pink hair) getting cut during cha cha was just weird. I agree that she wasn't amazing, but she was more than holding her own, had the choreography down but was maybe missing a bit of the latin feel, but so were a lot of other girls. I think they just thought she looked too old. I don't know how old she actually is, but she did look older than the other girls. They also have some other ballet girls still hanging around (Eliana - the ballet girl who is also a pole dancer - and there's a little black girl with long hair that I've seen lurking around and she may not be listed as ballet but I remember her from the city auditions because they showed a clip of her and she was en pointe and doing what appeared to be the moonwalk in her toe shoes which is a little bit gimmicky but she was managing to make it adorable) so maybe they just wanted to get rid of one and she was deemed not as strong as the other two? It was a head scratcher, though, as shown.

Sing-Off/Pentatonix fans, their 6-track EP releases today. I still go back and watch their E.T. and Dog Days Are Over and Let's Get It On from the show once a month or so. And they do a cover of that horrible Gotye song that I love. [link]

You watching Wednesday, kat? Yiire in the LA area, right? I'll be in town! (...and again in a couple weeks, and the week after that and after that and...too much LA!)

Yay, fun! I am watching Wednesday, so if you are around, hit me up on email and I will shoot you my number and address. So long as you don't mind a (very) messy apartment or a (slightly) evil black cat who desperately needs her nails clipped, you are welcome to join. That's the collective you, not just for meara but for others who want in, just let me know. I currently have no wine (though that can be remedy) but I have plenty of sass and snappy commentary on tap.

Man, I am almost at the point of looking for fares to LA for tomorrow.

Heh. Doooo eeet, flea!

I'm watching Breaking Pointe with the roomie, and again wishing they'd NOT show so much personal drama and WOULD show more dance drama--this episode (from last week) is more dance drama, and it's way more interesting to me!

Yes, everyone should just come to my house tomorrow at 8:00 pm PST to kick off SYTYCD S9 Top 20 in style.
