Dancing with the Stars: Now that World Peace is Out of the Picture, Let’s Get the Competition Going!

So Ron Artest is gone, which means I can finally unclench my butt cheeks. Seriously. He scared me like no other. He was involved in that Detroit Pistons/Indianapolis Pacers brawl right? Yeah, this is what I’m saying. It looks like we’re doing the Quickstep and Jive tonight, which is super fun because these are my two favorite dances. They’re fast and furious – no wonder the opening package showed everyone passing out. I’m excited!

Hope Solo, Jive: Hope is playing soccer and dancing, and I just think this is ludicrous. She’s having a tough time kicking correctly, because all she wants to do is kick a ball. You guyyyyysss! Maks and Hope are dressed up like soccer players. Well, something like that. And they’re kind of all over the place. Maybe it’s because her sneakers are high heels! It just kind of looks like she’s jumping all over the place. It was silly. And I didn’t love it.

Dancing with the Stars Season 13: Where Men are Men and Women are Men!

And we’re back! I’m so excited about this season of DWTS I can barely contain myself. K. Cav will definitely be bitching people out, David Arquette is a loose canon, and Chaz Bono had to become a man to find his fair share of sequins, when God knows he could have just looked in his mother’s closet. And Derek Hough is back! Things could not be better!

Ugh. Except that Brooke is still around, but with a new last name. I hope this makes her more endearing to me. The competitors are coming down the stairs. Nancy Grace is wearing a blazer, which can only mean there’s a snazzy dress underneath! Ron Artest (excuse me, Metta World Peace) is the scariest of all scary. And there’s a new ballroom! Steeper stairs! I wonder if George Clooney is watching?

Ok, Jeanie’s crying. She missed these guys so much. Let’s get this recap going!

Someone in My Building has a Serious Agenda

Back in April, ABC announced that it was going to cancel the long-running daytime soap operas All My Children and One Life to Live. While clearly devastating news, I haven’t been home during the day in about, oh, 22 years, so I did not feel this news pertained to me, nor did I think I’d be talking about it now, a month later. However, this has apparently come as quite a blow to someone in my apartment building.

When I first saw this flyer (poster? aggressive propaganda?) taped to the wall in my front entrance earlier this week, I thought it said “Save Seals.” I like seals, so I guess I was fine with it. The acronyms were unintelligible to me, and I didn’t really give it much thought after that. But yesterday, coming home from what was once again an awesome Zumba class, groceries in hand and struggling to find my keys, I gave the sign a second glance. “Save Soaps AMC and OLTL!” I went back and forth about publishing this phone number, but ultimately determined this person is asking for it.
