Thank you! I do spend very little time on the Internet these days but I do miss our conversations. I will be sure to drop by more though I may be of little use in discussions of pop culture. I hardly know what is on tv these days.
However, I have been watching sytycd. As always the season starts with so much promise and quickly devolved into hideous choreography and asinine, attention whoring judging. There are a few impressive girls this year but I haven't bothered remembering their names.
PS - not only am I getting married but my fiancé has a daughter so I'm a mom now too. Yay to major life changes!
She's 7 and yes it's a joy and very heartbreaking too. It's very upsetting to see what society does to little girls and it has made my admiration for my own mother, which was already high, go even higher.
At some point in the season - like right now - it starts feeling like a chore to watch sytycd and I just give up. It's on the old DVR but I'm not sure I'll ever get around to watching it. After all, I could instead watch episodes from the last season of Mad Men I still haven't finished.
Yes, how impressionable they are at that age is what is so frightening. But you are also right in that they have so much to say and to be honest it is far more interesting and insightful than what most adults have to say, present company excluded of course.
Still haven't gotten around to watching SYTYCD. I find Mia's dances never hold up in repeat viewings so new dancers probably won't help. My favourite Mia routine will always be the Lauren/Neil goggle routine from season 3 and that one never gets any attention. People prefer the sickly syrup of Dead Daddy Dances, and Jumping on Beds and the like.
I definitely would give Mad Men a go. While it has never been an obsession of mine, it's a show I watch with great appreciation for its intelligence and artistry. My enjoyment is more in each scene and each character as opposed to an overall arc that I am dying to get to the end of. Also, the show is more character arc oriented than story line driven anyway.
