I love Gregory Hines. For the longest time, White Nights was my favorite movie.

Try The Cotton Club instead. You'll be much happier, I promise.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

It had a ferret dressed up like something from the Chainsaw Massacres and something about ferrets attacking people more than bears (I think it was bears) do.

blinks

I see.

Neil's like a gymnast with rhythm half the time. But cute.

He seems sort of dim to me -- like a sweet, stupid puppy that can leap onto the dinner table from a standing start. (Come to think of it, that description is very accurate for the poodle my parents had. Maybe that's why I don't completely hate him.)

I was sorry to see Anya go, but sorrier to see Lauren stay. I'll miss Hok, a lot. It was inevitable that he'd get sent home eventually, but he really deserved to go out with better than the judges gave him on Wednesday night.

I felt sorry for Hok. They were getting into a Cedric vibe and it was irritating me. Nigel is just not a good spokesperson for the judges. Not because he's wrong, but because of the tone of his voice. I'm defensive that way.

SYTYCD: I had been hoping for Lauren and Kameron, but I can't say that I'm sad to see Anya go. She's just never hit it out of the ballpark for me and her solos really show her limitations.

I thought Neil and Lauren's solos were much better than previously. I think if Hok and Neil had each danced their last solo, Hok might have stayed.

Anyone know what's up with Gawker's comment on the "horrible 'restaurant' Boucarou" where one of the Sara's works?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's a bottle-service type place, in the east village, where that kind of thing Should Not Be.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

SYTYCD: I figured Hok was going to go. It's not that he wasn't good, it's just that, as Neil mentioned, when compared with the two other b-dancers who have made quite remarkable strides in a number of different dance style, Hok just hasn't been as impressive. Not that that comparison should be the bedrock of his dismissal, but as beautiful as he was, he just didn't have the precision or grace as his peers.

Lauren not going home is bullshit. And I think it's because of the assistant thing, and the keeping her around for the tour thing. But Anya was clearly the better dancer, and that was the best solo she had ever done.

Sabra and Dominic are my favorites. I'm so proud of them!

I love Sabra and Dominic! I'm so sad that when it comes down to the end, only one person can win. Plus, they split the couples up next week and give them new partners. I'm so bummed.

I don't think I know what that means...(bottle service means you byo and they charge you a fee for corking it, right?)

is that just considered the hight of tacky there?

Here I don't know that there are any places that charge a corking fee. Most places here are only BYO in the first few months after opening until they get their liquour license.
