This movie looks great.  I get so angry when I think about the Christians burning the Library at Alexandria and I'll get angry at this movie, but I'm sure I'll still enjoy it!

Lauren over Kent #SYTYCD

I loved all (3) contests on finale of So You Think You Can Dance.  My favorite was Robert and I voted for him 30 times, knowing that I didn't have much of a chance.  No surprise, he came in 3rd.  The big surprise, at least for me, is that Lauren beat Kent!  I know, they were all great, so I shouldn't be upset, they all deserved it, but still, I got a little upset. 

Sometimes I wonder if SYTYCD fixes some years so that a female will win (like Jeannine who also came out of left field to win).  I hate conspiracy theories, but most of the people that vote on this show are young women who typically vote for hot dudes.  Perhaps Kent and Robert split them so Lauren squeaked through, who knows.  I'll drop this because it doesn't matter.  Here is what matters from this show:

1. Great Routines!  Holy crap, the judges favorites were amazing.  Killer routines and many of them were danced better second time around!  This doesn't often happen, but I loved it!

2. The All Stars were just amazing.  Seeing Mark, Neil, Lauren, Pasha, and the others just made me happy.  Each week I was just so excited to my favorites hit the stage.  Even more though, it was amazing to see the contestants rising to their level.  It is so true that you get better when you work with people better than you.  It was great!

3. The Neil and Kent "Backstabber" routine was one of my favorite dances ever.  Two dudes, looked like it was a break up, and it was just danced so well, so much emotion, so much pain.  It has me speaking in incomplete sentences!  I was so glad to see it Wednesday and then it's picked as a judge favoirte for Thursday.  SWWWEEEET!

4. This finale was one of the best ever.  I actually watched the whole show, not just the end. 

Country Music?

A friend of mine asked me to sit in next week with a country singer named Krista Angelucci.  She's pretty good, got some Carrie Underwood sounds to her.  Just two songs on a TV show called PFG-TV.  We are taping next Tuesday. 

Normally I'm too lazy to do much sitting in.  Gotta learn too many songs and I like my wife, kid, cats, and TV too much ;)  But this is only two songs and sounds like fun!  So, here I go, sinking more into the country music abyss.  I went to the Country Music Hall of Fame this summer, started writing some country music type songs, and now filling in for a country singer.  I guess I should embrace my Oklahoma roots ;)

Soccer Tennis or Futennis?

This is very cool.  Pro tennis players get together for some fun on the court.  I always forget that Europeans grow up playing and loving soccer (futbol) like we do baseball.  This is fun and interesting!

So You Think You Can Dance

Last night I watched the Season 8 finale of "So You Think You Can Dance."  It was great.  The top 3 dancers this year all amazing and put on a hell of a show.  I thought I knew who I was going to vote to win (Kent) until last week when Robert just exploded!  I'd always thought he was a brilliant dancer, but didn't realize he was good enough to win until just last week!  With this show, he proved himself again!  So I spent my night calling in votes for dancer #3, ROBERT!

Man, I'm lame.

Oh yeah, and we also combed more mats out of Sadie. She's almost cleaned up!  Weee!

Facebook Pokes

I dig poking people on facebook.  I guess it used to be a big deal back in the day, but I hadn't seen it used often.  Now I'm poking like 30-50 times a day, depending on my pokebacks.  It's so easy and addicting, yet it's really nothing at all. 

I guess I'm easily amused.  *poke*
