I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Over the course of a 20 minute conversation, that was not all she had to say about that. Shania Twain was quoted twice.

Ha!

I just had dinner with an old friend from high school who is looking to change careers, and is there anything more satisfying that having your experiences seen as expertise? I say there is not.

Gosh, those French skaters.

And the Canadian woman skater has bruises on her back. Maybe that's why they normally wear backs.

I just want to say, I say, out loud, usually just to myself, "I have both been there and ate the t-shirt. Let me hold your hand," which I think is from an Angel recap from here from maybe 16 years ago, all the time. (Nobody gets it, which is why I say it only to myself. But out loud!)

Ann, that's a ferret.

flea, I have a similar feeling when I hear K-pop. Much of which is aggressively cheerful music performed by young people chosen mainly for their ability to dance.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, flea knows K-pop. I can't wait for her response.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm no expert on the subject. But much of what I've heard reminds me of the boy bands of the late '90s. So Giles' view of Dawn's musical tastes came to mind.

K-pop IS, in fact, aggressively cheerful music performed by young people chosen mainly for their ability to dance. (And for their good looks. Singing is actually low on the list of things needed to be a successful k-pop performer.) I myself have been known to say, "chosen mainly for their ability to dance" out loud to people when discussing k-pop.

The dancing is really good, though, and is half the point of k-pop IMO. I mean, don't you think this is really pretty amazing? [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.

Agreed, both the dancing and the choreography.

I love K-Pop.
