All about the music....

I am a bit behind the times when it comes to buying music. Most of the music I have on my MP3 player came from CD's that I have. I don't really buy it online. Until today. I finally went on iTunes to find music. Mostly because it was from some cool routines from "So You Think You Can Dance" and didn't know where else to find it. I have decided that I actually like iTunes and may be more inclined to use it in the future. So yay!

Do a little dance...

Tonight was the season finale of "So You Think You Can Dance". To honour the occasion, I thought I would post my favourite dances from this past season (mostly because this is the only season I actually watched). So today's favourite things are the following dances from SYTYCD Season 5:

• Kayla and Kupono - Addiction: She is an addict, he is the addiction. Choreographed by Mia Michaels.


• Brandon and Jeanette - Ruby Blue. Choreographed by Wade Robson.
• Jeanine and Jason - If It Kills Me. Choreographed by Travis Wahl.
• Randy and Evan - The Butt Dance. Choreographed by Mia Michaels.
• Jason and Kayla - The Zombie dance. I have posted about it on my blog before you can find it here.

There are probably a bunch more but those are the routines that really stick out in my mind as being my absolute favourites.

Something that appeals to the TV addict in me...

Way back, when I first got into "The Office", I started visiting a website called "Give Me My Remote". I really enjoy it. It has got me into a bunch of shows that I may have never watched without it. The recaps amuse me and the writer has access to a lot of background info that really interests me. One of the things that she does is a podcast with another TV blogger from "Ducky Does TV". I had listened to one of their podcasts last year but that was pretty much it. They then started podcasting regularly this past season of "So You Think You Can Dance" which I tended to listen to more regularly. I enjoyed hearing what they thought of the particular dances. I also started to listen to their regular podcasts particularly if they were going to be talking about "True Blood". So today's favourite thing is the "TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky".

Pretty cool....

I mentioned in an early post that I have been watching "So You Think You Can Dance" this season. I have been really enjoying it. Tonight, Kayla and Jason did a zombie-esque dance choreographed by Shane Sparks that I just loved. It's rather dark but very well done. You don't have to watch the entire video to see the dance, the last part is mostly the judges comments.

Anyway, today's favourite thing is what I am going to call Kayla and Jason's Zombie dance.

Time to get away...

Colette, Colette's friend Connie, and I are off to Quebec City for the weekend. We made it through Montreal tonight and then found a hotel. The hotel's quite nice - what I've seen of it anyway. Not terribly expensive either. The bathroom had us all crammed in to see it. The shower has a glass wall but no door. It's quite fancy. We got to the hotel just in time for me to see who got kicked off "So You Think You Can Dance" so bonus. So anyway, today's favourite thing is staying in a nice hotel.

I so thought I could dance....

Tonight, I watched most of "So you think you can dance". I don't watch it often for a variety of reasons, but since I was home tonight and they were finally through the awkward pre-top 20 stage, I decided to watch. Those dancers are amazing. After watching them and seeing performance of Flamenco and amazing tribal dancers in various places, it really puts my own dancing in perspective. Specifically, the fact that I will never be at that level. It is a fact that I am perfectly okay with but it is still humbling to watch. So today's favourite thing is watching incredible dance performances.
