"Dance til you can't dance til you can't dance no mooooooore."

Summer is coming to an end. I have not made a post in over a month. This just goes to show my blogging life is a lot more interesting when school is in session. There are far more stories to tell, hi-jinks to share, laughs to be laughed, and so on and so forth. My summer of '09 has been one of laid-back nothingness; which I must say has been awesome. I have been a part of two of my best friends weddings and spent time with wonderful friends (woop woop little Eves and Jill), gotten myself a man (and the heavenly hosts rejoice), spent 5 fantastic days with my precious little Georgie (get my flat in NZ ready G!), been thoroughly trainined in all aspects of 2nd grade math and science (just call me Bill Nye), gone white water rafting (everyone should go rafting with Lucy Burrett at some point in there life, it's well worth it), and just plain enjoyed some time off to process my crazy 1st school year.

As I have stated in previous posts, with summer comes the departure of many great television shows; but alas, I have found a great substitute for those summer time TV watchin' blues. During my college years, I was never home in the summer to enjoy any summertime programming, but this past summer, I was able to enjoy a most spectacular of programs: So You Think You Can Dance. I've always caught the occasional marathon on VH1 or MTV, but I have never gotten to be in it during the actual time. I have to admit I am still not a totally 100% die-hard in there fan, but I do record it and watch it and enjoy it and have favorites...OK, I like the show a lot. I was very upset recently when Janette had to go home and I really want her former partner Brandon to win...because they are my favs. Anyway...I was making this post to share two of my very favorite dances (and one that I just discovered I liked) that the two of them did together. There have been other dances that are great and awesome, but to ME these are my two (now three) favorites by my two favorites because they are completely different dances and just shows how fantastical they are. And also makes me think I can dance, when we all know, that, my friend, is a lie from the pit...and it smells like smoke.

Here is Janette and Brandon's Argentinian Tango. Mmm. Yeah.



Here is a little hip-hop dance they did together...it's a new fav of mine as I just stumbled upon it. She's a rocker, he's a hopper who wants to be a rocker...get it? Good.



And here is my favorite. Not because it's insanely awesome (though I think it is), but it's just fun. And Wade Robson is awesome. They're little thieves and they are just SO GOOD together. So sad she is gone. :(
