You're back! Soon we shall commence the wild rumpus dance!

OT, but I rewatched parts of Dancing with the Stars from last night and... Am I alone in my thinking that Warren Sapp is a poor man's (and I mean a very poor man's) Emmitt Smith? He's horrible, and I hate watching him "dance." I'm totally amazed at the scores he got last night. The judges (Carrie Ann aside) trashed him, but then gave him high scores. Hello, disconnect! The only football players I actually liked on the show were Jason Taylor last year (whose technique was better, but still not great) and Jerry Rice, whom I wanted to win in Season 2 out of him and Drew (Stacy was my overall favorite).

Anyway. Won't say who got voted off for the sake of those of you in other time zones.

i thought emmitt did pretty well, but he wasn't MY winner. the scores were high for warren because he dances as though he's just having tons of fun and he really performs well for the audience. the scores were far too high, however, given lance/lacey's performance, which was flawless. i'm ready for that simpy, untalented brooke to bite the dust, then warren, then cody (who will probably go home tonight unfortunately, and lance will win. he has too much turn-in but overall pretty darn good technique.

thanks for not telling me. you guys are all in bed by the time i get home from work i think.

Also OT, but I'm listening to Subsonic and part of Finding Nemo: The Musical from AK is playing. I'm having bad flashbacks right now! No offense to anyone who adores it, just not my thing.

We just saw the first few minutes of it in 2007 before it closed during the performance due to "undisclosed problems." Saw it in its entirety in May and... that was the first Disney show I actually hated. It went on and on and on and ON! And I love Finding Nemo! I was very disappointed. It was like a bad version of the Disney on Ice version of it.

I agree with that!

Speaking of odd, here is a funny video called:

See, my problem is they harped on Cody and Brooke's technique and scored them lower for that, saying at this point in the season they expected high standards of technique. But then they turned around and gave Warren higher scores when they out and out said (repeatedly) he had little to no technique and what he did do, most of it was done poorly. So if you're going to say technique is so important at this point, and you judge 3 out of 4 couples on technique, then I find it a joke that they judge the 4th on entertainment only. Not that he's as bad as Cloris was at some points, but they would tell her how entertaining she was but that she couldn't get by on entertainment. They've pulled stunts like this in the past too to push forward their "pets" IMO (Kelly Monaco being a perfect example), and it's annoyed me every single time.

100% agree. and as for kelly monaco, i'd have gladly run up on stage to trip her had i been in the audience. her feet barely even touched the ground...the pro just sort of swung and dragged her around like a freakin' rag doll! and poor j. peterman had to stand by like the good sport he is. was pathetic.

anyway...lance should win. i think lacey is fab, and she did a great job on so you think you can dance, but build-wise julianne would have been a better partner for lance.

anyhoo....

I'm still up. I'm in New Mexico so only an hour ahead of you. As for Thanksgiving I don't really make anything odd but this will get you. My fruit salad recipe (think fruit salad mixed with marshmallow, whipping cream, and coconut) calls for yellow mustard and egg yolks . I know it sounds horrid but it is an old family recipe that comes from my grandpa's mother and it's delicious and yes you cook the egg yolk sort of like if you were making lemon curd so no problems there.

Since this is the first major holiday since Mom died, we are going to go to a wonderful brunch at one of the hotels here. We will all come back to our new home and sit and rub our bellies and visit. We are all trying to find our new normal.

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

My in-laws are coming for Thanksgiving. Pray for me.
