Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We forgot about Earth Hour. We remembered, but we would have had about Earth Seventeen Minutes. Oops.

Too funny about Colbert. Serenity is a much better name, though.

Freckles are awesome!

Love Fierce!

And in the last bit of this post brought to you by random, OMGWTF I am so smitten with Any Dream Will Do! I need to catch up on TAR so I can post in NonFic about it, but for general squee purposes...

Rio H's original non-Saget supposed seekrit celebrity boyfriend is finding (has found, don't tell me!) a new Joseph and it's hosted by Graham Norton who is astoundingly empathetic to the bereft musical theater boys, and there's a fabulous panel who judge and mentor them.

Including John Barrowman on whom I now have the hugest performer crush ever, as if I didn't love him enough already. Because he's all passionate about his craft and careful and thoughtful and freaking talented and sigh.

Anyway, I adore Joseph, so I won't mind hearing the songs umpteenmillion times, and there's some real talent and the drama and the crying boys and John Barrowman and oh!

Tell me you are all watching this show!

I'm pretty sure telling you there are crying boys on a reality show about musicals is not a spoiler.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who is Ann Althouse, and how weird is it that she's getting engaged to one of her blog commenters? It barely sounds real, but maybe that's how she rolls.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Liese, I watched that show last night! The main thing that annoyed me about it was that they were telling us about certain guys knocking out the judges but then failing to show us said knock-out performance. I know this was merely the weed-out before the show actually starts ep, but I didn't like that. At least they'll be performing from here on out. Did the guy who did all those twirls (I'm guessing he wasn't one of those who had difficulty with the "movement" class) make the final cut, btw?

“Not dead yet!”

Angie Harmon isn't racist-- she's just an idiot.

The man's been in office two months, bitch, cleaning up the mess it took your boy Shrubwit, eight years to achieve.

Feh.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Kathy, yeah, I know what you mean. But it was a ton of material to get through, lots of rounds, so I can see why some of it ended up short.

I'm loath to talk episode specifics here blackfonted, but I'm not entirely sure of the answer to your question anyway. I did hit a saturation point where I'm not too sure which blond was which, you know?

Oh, Aimee, best of wishes to you.

Today kicked my ass and I kinda want someone else to run my life for a bit.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Lots of ~ma, Aimee.

Huh. I just image googled Rashida Jones. I've got much darker hair and eyes than her, and possibly slightly darker skin. (Hard to judge skin tone from pictures.) Genetics is neat.

It's not just the colour--it's the configuration. I didn't realise who her dad was (or what her name was) when I first saw her and I wondered about her parentage.

Andy Hallett dead? I...I'm...blank.
