So this is what it's like having a literal day job.

[apocalypsos]

I feel like I'm auditing a real job. Like they're going to send me to some lousy factory job with weird hours that I can't schedule anything around when they're done taunting me by putting me through training.

They'd better not because, hey, I've already gotten comfortable, made a friend, seen an old co-worker there, and picked up a few nice pairs of dress pants that actually fit at the Salvation Army. I'm all comfy now. (I'm also getting into the habit of bringing a bottle of water with me and having an apple for lunch. I've eaten less in the past two days than I have in the five previous days before them and I don't feel hungry.)

Dear show ... I have no problem if you keep Ryan shirtless. Seriously.

Also, Legacy and Russell being all buddy-buddy as they left the stage with the other boys made me all bouncy.

What is that ugly thing Mary is wearing?

AWWWW, look at little Adam Shankman!

Wait, we don't get to see a wee Cat Deeley? Wait, maybe that's for the best. I can imagine a wee Cat Deeley with her teeny blond pigtails would be made of sparkles and sunshine and joy and possibly be unable to be stared at directly without being all OMIGOD SHE'S MADE OF STARS.

Oh, Megan Mullaly. No, honey. Stop that.

Oh, god, the Subway little-kid-voices commercial. BWAHAHAHAHA.

What was Ashleigh's mystery illness again? Because getting sick at fourteen and staying sick for six years? God, that's awful.

I keep mentally filling in the "Jakob/he/I cheated on Ashleigh/me/her" with "with a guy."

Well, she's doing a hell of a lot better than Ryan did at hip hop, that's for damn sure. They're both doing wonderfully at this, a lot better than I expected.

I'm actually starting to find Jakob and Ashleigh a cute couple.

Kevin was a wee bit off in places but I liked it. I didn't LOVE it, but it was okay. I think Nigel got what got me. I liked the steps but there was no energy there.

Also, I could listen to Adam's critiques all day long. It's like when Mary critiques ballroom. She sounds knowledgeable when she does that, but Adam sounds that way all the time.

AWWWWW, wee Russell!

I really did love that foxtrot of theirs. And the song really worked with that performance. Oh, Mary, keep critiquing the dance in detail like that. I like it a hell of a lot better than when you scream at the top of your lungs.

Oh, God, Tyce, what the hell? *headdesk*

That was ... actually kinda cool. And poor Victor! Stitches? Aw! Nigel's right -- she did look a lot more relaxed and loose and enjoyed herself this week.

OMG WEE KATHRYN. She's so cute now, back then it must have been lethal.

Wait, I'm sorry. Is Legacy not wearing a shirt? Were they saving this dance for Ryan? "If only Tony Meredith were able to find some dramatic music ..." HA! That was amazing. The two of them, I swear to God. :D

HA! I love Ellenore.

Yay, Travis!

Heh. Of course Ryan's shirt is open.

Okay, this is TOTES better than last week.

Yay for Travis, Ellenore and Ryan! That really was a phenomenal performance, one of the best performances of the season.

Is it really bad that for a moment I completely forgot about Mollee and Nathan? I was like, "Tonight was really great all around -- oh, wait." Heh.

I have met the kiddie versions of Nathan and Mollee, Cat. They're on the show.

Is it just me or does Mollee mostly look like she's throwing a tantrum? It was good, though, I'll give them that much. That said, please stop calling them the Dream Team. It's a turn-off.

Bottom three: I want to say Kevin/Karen, Victor/Channing, and Nathan/Mollee, but that last one's debatable. Everybody did so well tonight we're starting to run out of dancers who are doing badly enough to make the bottom three.

I am amused that Ryan and Legacy fulfill two of my guy types. (The types that I'm attracted to.) I could stare at Legacy's eyes all day, man. Mmmm.

I really hope it's Kevin out tomorrow. I don't dislike the guy, but he's not nearly as interesting or endearing as the other boys. And I called that a week or two ago about his shoulders being too high. Boy's got no neck. That wrecks his lines and keeps me from being able to see any skill or technique in his dancing. As for the girls, I guess I'd be okay if Channing went, though she did fantastic tonight. I'm not 100% behind Karen, either, but I doubt the judges would part with her so soon.
