Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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

if you can believe it, they only accept submissions on VHS

CBS? Oh yeah, I believe it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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...

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I started groaning with the Quickfire winners/losers, but on second thought, butchering is kind of a bullshit challenge -- it's like testing my CEO on her filing skills or something -- that's a task you hire an expert for, while you do the higher-level stuff.

The other thing that's exciting is that I think Stephanie has a real shot, and it's definitely time for a woman to win, but it's not going to be some bullshit Tyra move.

3 to 1 chance it will be a woman!

I didn't realize that Spike had been in the bottom more than Lisa.
