I posted on FB a video from the Benji Schwimmer class I took this weekend. Now, mind you, the woman in that video was probably the best student in the class-she'd just won one of the competitions at a local convention weekend. But what was awesome was that the first two classes of the day were basic--there were a few people who hadn't hardly done any West Coast--and I think those were actually the best. It's always interesting to learn basics from a new teacher, and hear their spin on it. And it was fascinating, truly. Not sure how much of I managed to incorporate into my dancing, but still. Plus he was pretty hilarious.

Apparently he used to date someone in Seattle, and they went to the bar next to the ballroom, and somebody saw the owner (who is gay) and was like "Hey, hey, teach my friend a dance! How about West Coast?" and she was tired and busy and was like "Uh, no, that's too hard...here, have a salsa step"...and then someone was like "Dude, you didn't recognize that guy? That was Benji Schwimmer!" Hah!

did people see the Microsoft Surface Pro commercial during the Grammy's? several SYTYCD people. Twitch I saw and I think Cheebe (sp?)

Amazing Race starts again tomorrow! I hate that they name each season separately in the listings.

Oooh, excellent!

I'm watching Survivor again this season, too. I can't resist Malcolm.

I missed the first Survivor because of that.

Ooh, good to know!

I'm watching Survivor this season because of Philip.

Yes, I realize I am perverse. Why do you ask?

PHILIP OF THE PINK PANTIES?? Why, pray tell?

Because he is so off his shit. This entertains me for some reason. I am not rooting for him as a winner, mind you.

I didn't watch the first Philip season, so I'm just being introduced to him now. Is he completely batshit crazy or just a little eccentric?
