Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wonder if app-only voting even draws the voting age lower, but also have no idea.

Sorry, White Tanisha!

Jessica is awfully good, even though I didn't know her name when she first came on. If nothing else, diversity helps me remember who is who! Who's going to forget the Eastern European b-girl? Or the black ballroom boy? Bunch of white contempos.

Bah. I did not even get home from Philly until after midnight on Wednesday so I missed the Family bon, meara, and SYTYCD. I tried to watch yesterday, but I was unfocused. I only got through Valerie's totally lacking in heat Samba. I will watch the rest tonight and have some thoughts, but I already know who goes home and I am not a happy camper. Who is voting for Casey and how can I make that stop? Casey over Rudy? Blah Bridget over White Tanisha? Hell to the naw!

So far I have seen Ricky & Jenna's Travis Wall number (lovely), Zack's solo (great!) and Valerie's samba (oh, honey. She was really trying, bless her heart). Oh, and the opening number which I just found peculiar, really.

Casey always knows exactly where the camera is, doesn't he?

Liked Tanisha's solo, Jacque's was boring.

Project Runway: jeez, have Amanda and Sandhya been the only winners? I do not approve. Glad to see the back of Hernan, though.

Finally finished watching Creature Shop Challenge. What a great finale! I hope they do this again at some point. And I hope all these competitors get jobs, they are amazing.

Chbeeb is in Taylor Swift's new video, and my family is amazed.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I really tried with Taylor's new song and video. The song is kind of catchily sing along in the way that all of her songs sound like elevator muzak. And even though Mimi already made a sorry haters classic called, wait for it, Shake It Off (vastly superior to the Tay Tay model), I was willing to give it a chance. I could handle Taylor as a rump shaking ballerina and a non-rhythm having rhythmic gymnast. I could even handle the attempted tutting and the Breaking II: Electric Boogaloo era dance off complete with Tay clutching a boombox all Radio Raheem style. But I cannot with the big gold hoops and gold link chains. Taylor and her army of twerking girls in acid washed booty shorts? T-Swift rapping like a wannabe Toni Basil in Mickey and failing oh so miserably? Are we still doing this cultural appropriation schtick in a post-Miley world? Still? Makes me wanna holler. Not even for the Chbeeb. I'll just catch him in the Virgin America "put your seat belts on, please" video.

And I'll try to be on topic by saying that I thought one of the other boy dancers in silver was Fik Shun but I could be totally making that up.
