See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

The finale of Dance Crew was soo disappointing, I don't even know where to begin. Was there even 15 minutes of dancing in the whole show? But, extremely glad that Jabbawookeez won. And kind of weirded out all over again that Randy Jackson really is like that all the time, not just on AI. Also very excited that Dance Crew is coming back this summer. With Dance Crew and SYTYCD, you really won't be able to stop the beat. How is Shane gonna do both shows, though?

Ack! I really hope that doesn't mean we get less Shane on SYTYCD!! Maybe he will still choreograph for them, and do less judging?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Isn't SYTYCD in California also? So Shane probably just needs to get in his car and drive a couple of miles in between shows.

The show needed a lot more dancing and they needed to have a musical act and more dancing!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's the Waldorf Salad I know, not one with chicken in it! If you put chicken in Waldorf Salad, then it is chicken salad with fruit and nuts.

Because books.

Please enjoy this recipe, one of many such recipes that originated in the great City of New York that changed the world inexorably, spun out of the late 19th century like a fruit bat in the night, like molten sparks of intense flavor combinations thrown from morsels bent on conquering unsettled and restless tongues, or whatever.

Like a fruit bat in the night! I just got tea up my nose.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Indianapolis is really kind of a manufactured city.

OK, I definitely got that vibe in the couple of times I've been there (briefly), so I'm glad to hear it from someone who knows.

Those Jabbawockees seem like nice boys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching the Child Star show on VH1, and it's kind of shocking how the parents are disregarding (a) an actual casting person, and (b) Danny freaking Bonaduce! I guess they just truly believe that he was a natural fuck-up, unlike their little darlings.
