August 2009 Archives

I saw this movie for my birthday the other day and ever since I can't get it out of my head.  It's like it has planted this thought seed inside and I want to dissect it, appreciate it, contemplate it, and revisit it.  I've been trying to figure out why, but in the end it just resonated with me and has earned a spot in my favorite movies list. 

If you have NOT seen it, STOP HERE, and don't read any further because I'm going to discuss it and I don't want to give anything away.  I will strongly suggest you go watch it right now...find a theater, a showing, and don't hesitate. You will love it. 

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon brought back their Robert Pattinson "Bothered" skits with a new one where Robert is bothered by Shark Week.  Once again, I realize how much I love Jimmy Fallon.  I hope he continues doing these while Twilight is popular because they're hilarious.

See the previous Robert Pattinson "Bothered" by Harry Potter.

So while the rest of the country is in Jeanine idolatry, I have remained very cool towards her.  Logically I know she is beautiful, I know she is an amazing performer, and an excellent dancer, yet when it comes to "love", I have very small doses for her.  How is this possible when EVERYONE I talk to can't stop saying, "but she's sooooooooo good....what's wrong with you?"

That's what I'm here to discuss...what IS wrong with me?  Why did I not jump on the SYTYCD Season 5 Jeanine Bandwagon?  She might win tonight and I still am so "eh" about it.  Don't get me wrong, she's deserving, but I won't be super psyched about it.

Denial of Service Attack

On this otherwise happy Thursday morning, Twitter is the target of a denial of service attack. Attacks such as this are malicious efforts orchestrated to disrupt and make unavailable services such as online banks, credit card payment gateways, and in this case, Twitter for intended customers or users. We are defending against this attack now and will continue to update our status blog as we continue to defend and later investigate.

Originally aired: 5-Aug-2009

OK, here's how my recap/reviews work:

1. I always DVR the show so I can start/stop as many times as necessary
2. I watch the performance and pause so I can write my own critique and prediction for what will happen without being influenced by the judges (Jidges if you're Cat)
3. I watch and recap the Judges' responses and decisions (compare against mine)
4. In the end, I will decide who I think should win this season of SYTYCD Season 5

My Favorite Routines:
Brandon & Kayla - Broadway
Brandon & Jeanine - Paso Doble
Brandon solo
Jeanine solo

Season 5 Winner:
BRANDON - He's who I want to win (I also think Kayla is a phenomenol dancer, but won't win based on tonight's performance).
Do I think he WILL win?  No.  I think Jeanine or Evan will win.  I'll be okay if Jeanine wins (even if I like Kayla more) , but will be upset if Evan takes the prize.
