Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Because books.

I'm still bugged by Antonia (and Lisa, too, wasn't it?) opinion of Midwest palates. Goddamnit, we're not hicks, even though we don't live near an ocean!

Right. I was bugged by the thing about men at football games having beer guts, too. But no one's perfect!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe it's just the fact that I usually agree with her in those ...

Yeah -- or at least enough of the time that I can let the bad ones (as noted above) go.

SYTYCD: can someone explain to me why so many of the women "modern" dancers all have the same style (e.g. throwing themselves on the floor; jerking head; jerking legs, etc.)?

What gives? Where is the variety?

No. Although I now have a greater appreciation for contemporary, I still don't "get" the technique of it. It mostly just seems to be more "dramatic" than anything.
