Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Yep, he was in the ABT Studio Company after going to the Kirov school in DC. And he was a featured soloist in a couple of pieces even though he never rose above corps member while with ABT, which is unheard of. Then he went to Complexions Contemporary ballet for a hot second before going on SYTYCD.

Sigh. I miss Danny.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I really don't understand the homophobia in anything dance related. Which is stereotypical in and of itself, but when I was doing dance, it was the one place where, even in my tiny town, homosexuality was considered acceptable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, did everyone else know that Next Food Network Star is back starting tomorrow at 10??

I knew it was coming back soon, but not exactly when. Thanks for the head's up!

Art Crawl!!!

I saw that in an ad yesterday. And it's on at the same time as several other shows I watch. What is up with that?

Rewatching the latest TC: Restaurant Wars episode this afternoon, and this thought occurred to me -- isn't this the first time in four seasons that one team clearly won on the first try?

Also, something I didn't catch in previous viewings: Bourdain, when bringing in the assistants, referring to Richard/Antonia/Stephanie as "Team Woodstock" and Dale/Lisa/Spike as "Team Altamont." BWAH!

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

NFNS is a pretty good show. I'd never seen it before. I was very surprised to see Cory (from Last Comic Standing) on the show.

Not for long, though. This is actually a better group than last year's (almost all of whom I wanted to strangle).
