Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, I forgot about the jockeys! I need to set my tivo.

Yeah, I agree about the diversity. It's one of the things that really surprised me and I just love. I used to say that when I taught a dance seminar, how cool it was that everybody dances, pretty much. I've never been able to come up with a culture group that doesn't, so it's awesome to see that represented in the different styles and influences in this particular more limited genre.

Art Crawl!!!

Liese S. - this week's episode is repeating tomorrow night. (And several times thereafter.)

Also, randomly I hear that Radiohead are performing at the Grammys - have you guys heard that?

They are up for album of the year, so I think I'd be a little surprised if they didn't play the Grammies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, my DVR picked up a "Meet the Models" half-hour on Make Me a Supermodel.

Oh, they're apparently not doing it real-time, since there was just a preview with many photo shoots, judges' tables, etc. Oh well -- it must have been too traumatic (both on the crew and the cast) last time. It does make it more ANTM, though, if we don't get to vote....

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

yeah, I'm watching the ep right now. They get some crazy people who apply for the show. I like that they do a 1-2 minute crazy people montage and don't string it out like Idol.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Huh. I liked it real-time. And didn't they say something about I could still choose the last two finalists? But there's nothing on the website about it. Maybe I was making it up.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

No, they did say that, though my Tivo cut off right at the end of the 14.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, mine too. But it looks like Wikipedia has all 16 contestants, so maybe it was already done? Dunno.

I suppose mostly I'm just glad Tyson is back.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yeah, that part confused me too. I thought maybe it would happen on 3/4, when the first show airs, but then how did they get the footage.
