Awful run, weird dinner, great show
I've fallen off the fitness wagon this week in a big way. Really the past few weeks. No huge shock -- it happens. Tonight I embarked on my first run in nearly three weeks and boy did it suck. I can't remember a worse run in my life. I honestly can't. I blame three weeks of slacking off, the heinous humidity, the not so healthy eating I've been doing this week, and the weird pain in my diaphragm area that made me feel like I couldn't catch my breath. Awesome! 2 miles, man. It was just terrible. But I willed myself not to quit, and I feel good about that.
I just whipped up a very bizarre dinner with canned pinto beans, slivered almonds, frozen peas, garam masala, sesame oil, kamut/quinoa pasta, and feta cheese. Yeah, those things don't sound like they go together to me either. But they were basically all I had to choose from so I just threw caution to the wind and went for it. It was not great but wasn't altogether disgusting, either.
It's a big day, America. It's the season premiere of So You Think You Can Dance, which brought me tremendous joy last summer. I just love this show. This article really says it all. I think people have a lot of misconceptions about this show if they've never seen it. It's so, so good. Great host, great stories, great dancing. Don't let Mary's screaming scare you off. Don't let some of the outrageous audition nonsense give you the wrong idea. Once the top 20 is picked, it becomes a serious and glorious competition. Love! And ... it's starting right now. And the first audition is giving me chills. This show is just phenomenally good, I swear.
I guess that's all I have to say tonight.

Maybe I missed it, but I'm surprised you haven't commented on this:

Tony, I haven't commented here, you're right! Needless to say, I am highly stoked. I have had my 30something tapes since the early 1990s, which is ridiculous, and it will be great if all 4 seasons are released on DVD. Oh, happy day!
I love SYTYCD too! It's my favorite summertime show (though it's moving to the fall starting with this fall.. but that means two seasons back to back)! I get anxious to get through auditions to get to the real, amazing, inspiring, incredible dancing, but I appreciate that the auditions aren't cruel. Nigel is so honest, but still sensitive. I love that he can give praise to the mediocre or unfit but rightly spirited, and that he can call out the people who are wasting their time. I LOVE the show.
The LA Times says that a new season will come out every six months, so two years and we've finally got it all!!
Lauren -- you are so right! Although I am a bit disgusted with Nigel at the moment for the way he treated the male/male pair. I
Tony: Hooray! I hope that's true. I am still waiting for Once & Again season 3 and have basically given up hope. I am definitely excited about 30something.
