Dreams

Had a really horrible dream last night that included some The Bachelor style show, wherein I was the one being wooed by all sorts of NASCAR driver singles (who weren't really single, noting who it was in the light of day). Final two? Casey Mears and Kyle Petty. Casey won. Kyle stormed off because he lost. (Also, he'd gotten a Magnificent Bastard style makeover, including haircut and straightener.)

Then it morphed into some...thing at my old church fellowship hall where the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center was now housed. There was some event going on in the meeting area (a wedding?) and I noticed that it was storming outside to the point that flooding was occurring. Bad flooding. We're gonna die if we don't leave kind of flooding. The party folks didn't want to hear of it (several NASCAR types were there) and ignored my warnings. And because the director of the WRC was at the party and couldn't leave, we couldn't evacuate the animals.

And then, it morphed to where a group of NASCAR types were out IN the flooding and there was some sort of skirmish and Kyle Petty died. And I woke up crying because Richard Petty let Kyle Petty die. And it made me mad. (Dale Earnhardt was also somehow involved, and may have died himself all over again, but quite frankly, even dream me could care less about Senior. LOL)

Job Front

Didn't get the most recent job I interviewed for. Why is it that I can get interviews for jobs where I'm a long-shot, but things I'd be a shoe-in for, I can't even get in the door?

So You Think You Can Dance

I'm still disappointed they cut Ryan a couple weeks ago, considering Legacy (who is pretty in an Antonio Sabato Jr. in his heyday kind of way, but whose ability to adapt to other styles is suspect at best). But last night's top 20 show made me happy.

The Top 20 )

1. Harry Potter: If you love me, you'll rec me some Ron/Hermione fics.

2. So You Think You Can Dance: Last night's ep was Hines-tastic. I so love tappers. And honestly, it's one of the few forms of dance that feels gender neutral. Bianca, Ryan and the new guy all have their own styles in tap, but there isn't something inherently girly or masculine about any of them.

3. Supernatural: SPN TONIGHT!!!!! *glee*

4. Caffeine Withdrawal: Had nothing caffeinated on Tuesday or Wednesday. Am drinking a Coke right now as I woke up with a headache. Of course, that could have been from all the sleeping (two hour naps on both days without, plus at least 10 hours' sleep each night), but either way, I don't do migraines. I can go back to no caffeine tomorrow. One Coke every three days is way better.

5. Lasik: Have an appointment for a lasik consultation next Wednesday. 90 minutes of eye dilation fun.

6. Chester: Finally, a picture of him minus hair. Sadly, the picture doesn't do the lion cut justice. Just remember, he went from hair that was about three inches long at its shortest to a foot long at its longest to this ).

7. NASCAR: So there's a BBSadler on the way. I've got money on it being a girl, because then we'll have to have a BBMcMurray and lord knows a boy would be lost on Jamie. So it would be funny if there was a baby boy McMurray.

So You Think You Can Dance

Predictions from my mother:

Regardless of who wins, it won't be Courtney.

(I agree with mom.)

Mom and I both are in agreement that while Katee's the best all around dancer, something just feels like it'll be a guy.

And the opening number just told me what I've missed this season. I've missed Shane. I like his routines. They're hard hitting. It's good to have the lyrical hip hop, but I miss the hard stuff. Just watching Josh do Shane's routine showed me what we could have had for some variety. (So to you, Randy Jackson, I say "Thanks ever so for HAVING to have a dance show of your own to compete with your freaking producer and take one of our judges/choreographers.")

Vacation Update

Everything but the repair to the bookcase is done. Wh.ich will be done later this weekend due to Maveness' Law

(Maveness' Law: if you use super glue, no matter how careful you are, you will get the stuff on yourself.)

Tomorrow morning I'm going to the zoo. It'll be cooler tomorrow, I get in for free, and there are new bear cubs. (And the added bonus: when I emailed work to see if there were any proofreading projects to do, they mentioned one proposal that needed proofing and...they needed it proofed tomorrow morning. I said "I can do it before 9 or after I get back in the afternoon. But I'm going to the zoo.")

Reason I'm spamming today: I'm actually cleaning. Which means for every chore I do, I keep running back to the computer. Ha!

My thoughts on the final four and why some of Nigel's comments were absolute crap )

Um, that only took 2 1/2 hours to write and folks, the bathroom is CLEAN. As are the windows, vacuuming (the initial vacuuming) has been accomplished and I'm just down to dusting, the kitchen, and a couple of minor repairs. Whooo!

People I Love

In that "totally not as a friend, but just because they amuse me or entertain me" kind of way.

1. Scott Speed: Because anyone who sings "Milk and Cereal" gets my love.

2. Dierks Bentley: Because that second album of his is killing me. Must. Buy!

3. Past season So You Think You Can Dance-rs: Pasha and Anya together ignite my fire, but add Dimitri, Hok and Ryan? Guh! (And group latin proves that Anya, Pasha and Dimitri are all better than Lacey.)

4. Swiffer handlers: Yeah. Rain + racing = Swiffer usage! (And yes, the Swiffer is an entity all its own.)

And yes, I'm procrastinating.

So You Think You Can Dance

I've been trying to figure out why, this season, I'm not as engaged as in past seasons. Then I figured it out last night - in previous seasons, I've gone in to the top group loving someone. (Season one - Melody. Season two - Donyelle. Season three - the guy that got cut first.) Season four I haven't had that. I went in loving Brandon Bryant and he wasn't in the top 20.

Plus, for whatever reason I've always loved loved loved at least one of the girls. This year, I've yet to find one that really interests me.

But never to fear! I've found my Brandon replacement. And oddly enough, it really, really makes sense, even though their core styles are very different.

I present my evidence under here. )

Oh, and So You Think You Can Dance has delivered a few people I've found intriguing (I'm a sucker for ballroom dancers who use their legs well and contemporary women who absolutely fly). But Thursday night they delivered a guy that left me speechless and in love.

Brandon Bryant

I'm trying to break up a massive proofreading project with online stuff. Cause that's how I roll. (Okay, so my eyes have been crossing. And watching TV online breaks up the monotony.)

So I'm watching the performances of So You Think You Can Dance today, thanks to a ballgame last night. (101 degrees out and we're at a ballgame. Fun! Not.)

Harry Potter

I will be going to a bookstore tonight around midnight. Not because I read Harry Potter or will be buying Harry Potter. I just want to watch the fun. People lining up for hours for a book? Heck yeah!

Hairspray

I've read two reviews of Hairspray and both loved it and heaped crazy amounts of praise on Travolta. Which strikes me as strange, since much of the bashing I'd seen prior to now was of Travolta. I might go see it, as it gets out about 11:45 and is just around the corner from the bookstore.

News

In case you have missed the news story: Michael Vick indicted on dogfighting charges.

It is a sick, sick practice to fight animals.

A plus side news story: Tattoo ink that removes itself.

For those of you that have the sense to not want to permanently commit to your boyfriend's name on your arm.
