I recorded one of our efforts to help Jack stand. He's just nervous to let go on his own.
I haven't been terribly impressed with any couples' dances on SYTYCD so far. Yes, the dancers are all top notch. But the choreography hasn't had any stand-outs yet.
Well, then I noticed that I've re-watched this piece four times already:

Ok. So that was a ball of awesomeness. And by Sonya Tayeh no less. She can really pull it out sometimes. I think they are over-using her this season. Her couples' dances all start to feel the same. But this group number makes up for all of those. Great costumes too. And shoes! Thank you for putting your dancers in shoes! (shaking fist at Tyce Diorio)
Here's a slice o' Jack for your Monday - my day off! (My glorious day off! The first in two weeks where I can breathe through my nose and have an appetite and keep food down and don't hack up loogies from my rattled thorax!)
At trivia this week Erin and I confessed our love of TV. It seems like all the cool people say they don't even OWN TVs, let alone enjoy a show or two. Well, gosh darn it, I LOVE television. It's the most relaxing part of my day. You should see how I held it together last night when Ben noted our DVR failed to record this week's So You Think You Can Dance aka SYTYCD aka "The Dance Show" competition episode. I didn't even cry. It helped that I had just indulged in an 80 minute episode of a British lovefest called Sherlock. I mean, the actor is named Benedict Cumberbatch for goodness sake! Whoa, I got way off topic there.
I just mean to say that I love TV. I recently got Amanda hooked on Battlestar Galactica, bought Ben all of Cowboy Bebop for Father's Day, and gave Erin a list of shows to persue on the back of a beer coaster.
I thought it would be fun to list some of my all time favorite shows and where you can find them. You know, if you find yourself hiding from the heat in your basement den after the baby has gone to sleep and you have the next day off work and just want to be entertained for a while. So in order of my brain's wandering, here is my list. (I starting trying to indicate whether these are listed on Netflix instant, DVD only, or hulu, but it got way out of hand. You'll have to search for yourself. But know that most of these I do not watch live.)
Sherlock
The IT Crowd
Doctor Who
Spaced
The Big Bang Theory
Community
The Office
30 Rock
Burn Notice

Hmmm, that might be all for now. I might add on to this later. Help me in the comments if you can!
