SYTYCD Favourites
Granted this is from So You Think You Can Dance Canada but I still think it counts.
Mia Michaels irritated me so much in her judging stint(on the american show) that it began to affect the way I felt about the pieces she choreographed. I remember being not so impressed by the piece she did with Billy, Alex and Ade on 'time' in the first episode of the season. And the season hadn't even started yet. But then SYTYCD Canada happened just after and she was back to doing just what she does best- choreographing. This is beyond doubt one my favouritest group numbers. Every single dancer was brilliant. I don't I'll crowd this post with too many words.

Shuggie Addict
Have I mentioned just how much I love this song?
Thank you Skins! I seem to be thinking and saying that a lot these days.

Blogging personas
In straddling two blogs I have come to own two very different sets of identities. Tiny Dancer did come first and in the beginning one blog was enough trouble. I didn't have too many people reading my blog save for one loyal follower whom I ended up writing to, for the most part. Over time, the blog has become less of a response to this person ( I have also since, lost this loyal follower. Tragedy=Life) and more of a general response to everything(yes I know that's vague). Which ended up affecting the kind of poems I wrote.
As time went by though, I had things to say that weren't poem-y. I wanted to talk about music and movies and while I am insecure enough about my poems god I am so much more frightened about sharing my views on... anything. Especially music, movies and the like. It's asking for trouble you know? But like I have mentioned before, I am a super sized geek. Seriously, the biggest you could find. That blimp you see floating by your window? Me. So as I immersed myself more in the TV, music and movie critiques (of more articulate others) I slowly convinced myself that if I couldn't be articulate I could at least mimic it(It's possible.You can do it too!). There aren't too many people who read this blog. In fact it feels so comfortably tucked away I can be as mis informed, off the mark in my choices, my taste and critiques as I want. (See that huge dark shadow looming before you? Say hello to my inferiority complex. Say it!)
And so this blog emerged out of a big fat inferiority complex, a need to hide from regular followers and wanting to put stuff out there with out any backlash, thank you very much! What? Don't judge me. People have kids for far more spurious reasons.

Grouper
Today was a crappy day. Not because anything spectacularly bad happened. But nothing went particularly well. And since I end up feeling either stuck or moving too quickly for my liking these days, I would love to pause for a moment and enjoy the stillness. I want to live inside this song. I want to fall asleep in it and wake up with it so I am dreaming when I wake, so I never have to worry about anything ever again-anything but the music stopping, that is.
How have I not heard this artist before?

Playlist VIII
Melancholia overstays its welcome.
1. Be Here Now- Ray La Montagne
2. Riverman- Nick Drake
3. My Body is a Cage(covering Arcade Fire)- Peter Gabriel
4. Made- Greg Weeks
5. Stranger song- Leonard Cohen
6. Spell- Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
7. Playground Love- AIR
8. Flume- Bon Iver
9. Too Much- Sufjan Stevens
10.Sweet Dreams- Emily Browning (Sucker Punch Soundtrack)
This just messes with my head. Have you seen Emily Browning? She is tiny. And really non-threatening. I saw her in the terrible, terrible remake of "A Tale of Two Sisters" and I just hated her. This cover really helps me change my mind if not about her acting prowesses but her general appeal. The cover is dark, heavy and just the right amount of seductive. I want to see Sucker Punch just for this. (The rest of the soundtrack is just as amazing)Which I've heard is the only reason you might enjoy the movie.
