I'm a little sad they're not doing something along the lines of the zombie free dance again, but if the practice pictures they just posted are any indication, I think I'm definitely going to like Nelli Zhiganshina & Alexander Gazsi's programs this year ( Read more... )

Paper Aeroplanes is a Welsh boy-girl band I've been listening to lately. Imagine Stars, if Stars were fronted by Zooey Deschanel.

Several songs I like:

Red Rover
Cliche
Make a Wish

I haven't done a Gratuitous Icon Post in a long, long time, but I'm doing one now because I felt this one needed to be shared.

Yay for ice dancing zombies!

I had vague plans to watch Olympic skating this year, but I keep forgetting we have a TV.

In related news, I got my Boitano/Witt DVDs, woot! And OMG, there's an ensemble piece to "Tom's Diner" that is just...I don't know, if ever there were seven minutes that encapsulate 1991, I think it would have to be these seven minutes. It's got neon, it's got horrifying prints, it's got bodysuits, it's got ( Read more... )

Ahahahaha, somehow I have gotten to THE HEAD OF THE LINE for the library's copy of the Hyperbole and a Half book. You know, when it actually comes out in two months. Nevertheless, I am 1 of 1 holds. Eeeeeexcellent.

I just discovered that there actually were TV broadcasts of the Brian Boitano/Katerina Witt tours of 1990-92, and someone online ( Read more... )
