bears, guy who hates bears, something unrelated to bears.

This is absolutely NOT funny.

Being eaten by bears is not funny.

Also:

Stephen Colbert and Richard Branson (of Virgin Mega-Airlines-Music-Mobile-Spaceships fame) get into an on-air water fight. As in, fist-a-cuffs throw-down. Cannot wait to see that.

At some point this week I'll have something more to say other than regurgitating news stories which amuse me. But for now, really fantastic dancing that pretty much no one else will appreciate.

Lacey and Pasha Hip-Hop -- In the Morning by Junior Boys. ch'd. by Dave Scott

Lauren and Pasha Hip-Hop -- Fuego by Pitbull ch'd. by Shane Sparks

Hok and Jaimie Contemporary -- The Chairman's Waltz from Memiors of a Geisha ch'd. by Wade Robson

and last but not at all least (because it gives me chills ever single time.)

Last Season's Top Six -- Hide and Seek Imogen Heap ch'd. by Mia Michaels

(with and without screaming audience.)

PS - The dance videos are from So You Think You Can Dance, which although has ended for this season, is an unbelievably fantastic dance show. They have choreographers like Mia Michaels, Shane Sparks, Dan Karaty, Wade Robson and Tyse DeOrio... so it goes without saying that there are some bangin' dances. Mia Michaels was even nominated for an Emmy for a contemporary piece last year. Case in point: you missed the boat of you haven't seen it.

lately I'm a desperate believer- walkin' in a straight line.

"To live with her was to sit completely on the floor,
entirely on the grass, wholly on the hollow
of her crossed legs, utterly in the mud.

To live with her was to sing out all the notes
even if you didn't know most of the words,
to scribble down each idea thats sprang at you in the dark,

to recall the exact phrasing of every folded message
you found tucked under your pillow."
