Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

Is NO ONE else watching the GBBS (4th season)? They did something new - a batter episode. It was ... different ....

Glad to know I'm not the only one. They seem to have a number of good people at this point. I enjoyed the biscuit episode when there were periods of no talking, just intense crunching. I still run into the problem that some of their terms don't translate well from English into American.

SYTYCD is back and it's really good again this year because there are no kids but still an academy and all-stars picking their teams (which I thought was one of the only good things to come out of the whole SYTYCD Juniors experiment) and I am enjoying the heck out of the dancers that they have on the show plus Kat! That's all.

I've been catching up on world of Dance and I'm impressed . I still like SYTYCD but World of Dance keeps people in their style so that's good to see.

Because books.

I am LOVING So You Think You Can Dance this year. I mean, I love it every year (even last year, with the kids!), but I really love watching the all-stars watch the dancers, and pick their teams, and all of it. I am all ♥ eyes for all of them.

World of Dance has been surprisingly good, too. Some of the teams are just fantastic, and I do have an absurd girl crush on JLo, even now.

I am not loving SYTYCD this year. I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that I find both Robert and Allison really annoying, and they are getting a lot of screen time.
