Friday Fragments

Sorry I missed last week but I took the day off (a ME day!) so I wasn't able to post. But I'll make up for it this week.

Stupid criminal this week was a lady who called 911 because she needed help finding her pen. This was not her first misuse of 911 (in fact she had called 10 times the previous month) so she was arrested. She also had a previous arrest for misuse of 911. Maybe she'll find that pen in a prison cell.

The first week of college is almost over. While the students coming back to school really doesn't affect my job, it certainly increases traffic in town. Whitney seems to like her classes and the benefit of a small school means she knows people in all her classes. I don't remember that at all even in my major classes at OU. 

Dan lost a pair of glasses on his trip so he got his eyes checked out before buying a new pair. They were significantly worse and now he had to get progressive lenses because he can't read through the prescription. Age is finally catching up to him. I'm so glad I had Lasik done years ago and I don't have to deal with that anymore.

Abby just can't quite get used to the new neighbor's dogs. They've lived there for three months and every night she just can't relax. I'm not sure why. She has to lay outside for a couple of hours before coming in and going to bed. And if she hasn't been out long enough (maybe protecting the house) she wants to go back out. Thanks goodness the weather hasn't been oppressively hot.

Did anybody catch So You Think You Can Dance this week? One of my favorite dancers, Mark Kanemura, choreographed for the first time (all the all-stars did their own dances) and it was a WOWSER moment. Seriously one of the best, freshest dances out there. He's Lady Gaga's top dancer. 

Hoping the rumors are true and there will be a 'N Sync reunion on the VMA's this Sunday. Boy bands RULE!  LOL. All you need to know about why we need a reunion was written about here.

One more week until the craziness of college football starts. Always a time to either stay home or go shopping when the game is on!

TV Wrap UP

I just wanted to give a quick tv wrapup since we are coming to the end of many series.

Revenge
Let's just say that the last ten minutes of Sunday's show were action packed (really a samuri swordfight and the lights going out in NYC) and I can't wait for the two hour finale this Sunday. They still haven't announced if they get a third season but I'm sure it will be around for next year. Although the creator is not going to be working on the show anymore. So I wonder where it will go from here.

The Voice
I keep catching parts of the show. So I'm not really following it, but Adam Levine sure knows how to recognize talent. I'm sure the winner will be someone he picked.

The Chew
Let's just say I watch this every day when I come home from work simply for the dynamics of the hosts. Carla, Michael and Clinton make my day. I could do without Mario and Daphne.

Person of Interest
I'm behind in this one by a couple of weeks. I always tape it because I have bible study that night and then don't watch it right away. But it is a very well made show.

Fashion Star
OK, here's my cheesey show. I only watch it online so as not to take up dvr space. And I skip a lot of it. My prediction is that Hunter wins.

What shows have I given up on this year? These shows have "jumped the shark."

Glee - just can't do it anymore.
Project Runway - I love Tim Gunn and he couldn't save a "team challenge" show.
Once Upon a Time - sorry Whitney, I just lost interest.

What am I looking forward too? Why So You Think You Can Dance of course! It starts up next week and when I saw who the all-stars were, I got really excited. For you see one of my favorite male dancers, Mark Kanemura will be back along with Twitch. I will leave you with previews of two of my favorite dances from the show featuring each of them.

Friday Fragments

Yippee it is Friday and I made it through the week. Short work weeks are killer. I'm joining up with Mrs. 4444 to share it all.



 Someone in my cul-de-sac decided that their lawn service should start mowing at 7am. Only saving grace for me is I was already up since it was a work day. If it was the weekend, guns may have been blazing even though I don't own any. And last night our neighbor decided to mow at 8:30pm. In the dark. I wonder what that yard will look like today.

OU's football game is pay per view on Saturday which means we will be listening on the radio. Much easier now that we have better announcers. Or else maybe I'll go shopping since it will be easier together around town.

I am determined to cook one new recipe a week this fall. And it is only going to be in the 80's this weekend so cooking in the oven is allowed. All those pins and bookmarks are being looked over and passed on to Dan for his perusal. I'm thinking something with chicken since we have 8 pounds in the freezer.

Some helpful reminders to myself...When using a heating pad, turning it on makes it work much better. And remember to put the heat side towards your body.

The county fair is this weekend in town. First event today was meat goat judging. Do I want to know what that is?

Started going over 22 pages of definitions for my certification test. Some of these are just stupid. Budget - The detailed statement outlining estimated project costs to support work under a grant or contract. Did I really need them to tell me that? Isn't it pretty obvious what a budget is?

After I posted the dance video last week, guess who showed up on So You Think You Can Dance this week as an all-star? Benji! And he was just as good this week as he was six years ago.

So I'm going to post a video of another of my favorites in hopes that he shows up next week.

My Dance Crush

Well my favorite summer show (So You Think You Can Dance) just ended. I believe the right person one. But I was just happy that on Wednesday night's show my favorite dancer got to come back as an "All-Star". Mark Kanemura Oh my, what a wonderful dancer. He can do quirky and focused and strong. And he has only gotten better since Lady Gaga picked him to be her lead dancer. I watch her videos just for glimpses of him.

Unfortunately the season he was on as a contestant he wasn't my favorite. It happened last year when he was an all-star. I loved everything he did. I watched him instead of the contestant (that did seem to happen a lot with all the all-stars). And if you put him in a Sonya Tayeh routine, just stop doing everything and watch.

Now that I have that out of my system, maybe I can work. Happy Friday
