Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Oddly, Benji Schwimmer liked an Instagram post of mine overnight.

Also I checked out his Instagram and learned that Donyelle is battling breast cancer right now.

What was the post, flea? How interesting! I've taken a bunch of classes from him over the past several years, because he's still big on the west coast swing circuit.

It was the stage, lit but curtain closed, before my daughter's dance recital, in a local high school auditorium. I didn't tag anything, so not sure how we would even have come across it, but coincidentally it was about dance.

Huh, weird.

I did see on FB that SYTYCD starts again Monday with "adults" again (in quotes because lord knows some of those 18 year olds are babies, but better than 8 year olds)

Uh weird--maybe he's on a liking rampage, I just went on Instagram for the first time in a week or two to see your photo and he liked one of mine too! (A shot of coffee) strange.

Maybe he is a lurker! That was the only season I watched, and I thought he and Donyelle were adorable.

The Great British Baking Show starts up tonight again on PBS --two episodes in a row: Cake and Biscuits. (Obviously not a new season since the original four are all there.)

Thrive to spite them

I don't know what the Russian twins dance on SYTYCD was about but I had this viscreal reaction and was crying.

I was so happy to see SYTYCD back and the adult version! Gorgeous dancers on my screen plus Cat Deeley will always be welcome. Oddly glad to see Mary back on the judges panel, though I'm sure that will pass quickly. I thought the Russian sisters were breathtaking and unique. Kudos to the choreographer. They should get him to come work for the show.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was watching the first episode of the GBBS (cake) and they showed a clip of the next episode (biscuits) with one of the bakers saying, "fear is the mindkiller" and I was hoping for gingerbread sandworms.
