Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I'm sure that Kat and I are the only ones watching Superstars of Dance, and I am really sad that the Australian dancer is leaving, I thought that he was so much more talented than the indian dancer.

I'm watching, usually with one eye shut because some of this stuff is just painful. I did think the Australian dancer was awesome. The Indian dancer underwhelmed me. As did the tango dancers. And most of the others. I really liked the South African couple, but the US judge who said they had to find a better balance between the tricks and the dancing was very right.

I keep thinking these are supposed to be superstars? People who got the boot off of SYTYCD? I hope it hurries up and comes back, I want to watch real talent.

Art Crawl!!!

I recorded the 2nd two hours of the Story of India and instead of the 3rd hour - WTTW played the 1st hour over again. What's up with that?

I just want to say that we know that the thing that Ryan will be thinking about vis a vis kissing the girl in the bikini will be when he wants to not get an erection.

Because books.

Because she was a horror show, personality-wise, or because he doesn't like girls?

My gaydar doesn't work at all for him, and I don't know why.

Little of column A, a little of column B.

She was the most cringe-worthy for me all night.

I like the new judge a lot.

I'm not hating on the blind guy, but I think that we all know that if he hadn't been blind, they wouldn't have put him through. He had a nice voice, but plenty of people with nice voices didn't get through.

I'm sure that it's no surprise that my favorites are the nerdy guy and the oil driller. ;)

The roughneck was ADORABLE.
