A co-worker of mine who is a marathon runner.

Very cool!!!

I have wanted to apply forever. I figure I have little chance of getting picked but at least I will have tried.

And it's all thanks to ND, who provided us with a VCR to make the DVD-VHS transfer of our application video (if you can believe it, they only accept submissions on VHS).

Giggling at the "Joseph Smith is My Homeboy" t-shirt on SYTYCD. Too bad that guy wasn't much of a dancer.

OK, question for y'all--I want to plan some SYTYCD viewing parties. First I'm going to just have people over for a "you know you want to get into this show" party--show some good stuff from the past few seasons (I'm a bit limited on that--you tube things, and then I've only got the last couple eps of last season on my TiVO--I WISH I still had Season 2 on TiVO!) and I'll show a bit of the auditions.

But for planning regular viewing parties--what days of the week is it airing this year? Show/results show? I honestly don't even remember how this works...

right now they're playing it wednesdays and thursdays. i don't know if they'll keep it that way when we finally get to the results portion of the process.

Don't they understand my need to plan my social life around their show??? I thought that was what they WANTED from me!!

If that's so, now to decide if it would be better to have people over on Wednesday to watch the show, or have them over Thursday, and put off watching the show and wait until we can watch it with the results. That means we couldn't vote. OTOH, I never voted until the finals last year.
