I have a coworker who is a comic fanboy, to levels that ought to be entirely inappropriate for his job in our workplace, except for the fact that there are so many dysfunctional things about our workplace that this doesn't even register.
This isn't relevant to anything, except for that we've bonded over the fact that neither of us understand why they're making a Thor movie, and that was a conversation I never expected to have at work.This Weekend in TV, I caught up on a month of The Daily Show (and watched the rally) and then watched the second half of SYTYCD Canada Season Three.
SYTYCD Canada ended more or less how I expected it to. There was some good stuff there, and everyone whose dancing irritated me was gone before top ten, for which I was thankful.
As is usually the case, the routines sort of blur together after a while, particularly when they're choreographed to songs I don't know. And then there were a couple of times where the choreographer chose a song that'd been used on SYTYCD in the US, and I couldn't get past the comparison, like
Amanda and Jeff's routine about... early-onset Alzheimers, I think? And it was a gorgeous routine, but I couldn't get away from remembering
Kameron and Lacey dancing to the same song, but with Mia's choreo.
And speaking of Mia, the top 12 routine from SYTYCD Canada
Rejection ("Will I" from Rent). (with bonus Mia talking about how hard her life has been, and I don't know what to do with that, but it's relevant to the piece)
I'm still curious to go back and watch Mia judge in the early seasons, because I really, really, really did not like her at that point, and I wonder if I'm just used to it, or whether she really has mellowed in how she presents on the judging panel.
I don't usually think much about what recording artists might think about the dances that get choreographed to their work, but it's sort of awesome and hilarious that Charlene
danced to Ani DiFranco while wearing a sequined bikini top and flippy skirt. I'd like to think that Ani would say it's awesome, in that whole sense of being able to do whatever you want, and Charlene just strikes me as a sequined-top kind of girl.
Edgar had some sweet (fake) ink in week in this
dark top 14 routine Sean Cheesman and this jazz fusion about being royalty IDEK what
for Janick and Jeff.I'm not sure how tagging on Hulu works, but mousing over the episodes of Chase gives me the
"awful writing" tag, as well as "actually good" and "great cast"I carved a cat jack-o-lantern, cheating from a stencil, and on the wrong shape pumpkin, really, but whatever, it was awesome. Doorbell rang twice, but the good news is, didn't run out of candy. Happy Halloween!
