I'll Dance With You Evander!

Check it out, even more linking to the right!
Now I must learn how to incorporate pictures into my posts. Takes up more room and considering the past few days, I'm all for that.

May marks the end of the TV season for fall programming. Usually. There are the mid-season shows, and then the endless repeats. I did pretty well this year, finding only a handful of shows to follow on a regular basis. With the end of Alias last month I thought my Wednesday nights would be free. Tonight however I watched 3 straight hours of tv, not including the Simpsons repeat at 6 and Girlmore Girls repeat at 5pm. That's technically evening right?

I'm doomed.

From 8 - 10 I watched Dancing with the Stars. I feel no personal shame or guilt in this. I'm convinced in a past life I did ballroom dancing, followed by a short stint as a breakdancer. I want nothing more than to run out and sign up for dance lessons tomorrow. Those skimpy ass outfits and lack of partner being the only things keeping me from my dream. I twirled around my living room and did kicks and booty shakes during commercials. I'm over 21, the blinds were drawn, and I can shake my ass all I want.

Then on FX at 10 was Morgan Spurlock's 30 Days. I loved Super Size Me, and even swore off fast food for 3 weeks after viewing it. For a girl whose mother was convinced her little girl would grow up to be a Chicken McNuggett, that's saying something, sadly enough.

I enjoyed the investigative report on life as a minimum wage earner, as a spectator, not a participant. I've done the low pay/bus catching thing before, but I shared a no-bedroom efficiency with 2 other people while doing it. At least Morgan and his fiance Alex had a bedroom! And a shower. All we had was a tub, and while that sounds quite luxurious, try running a bath every morning at 5 am so you can catch your bus.

And using a pet shampoo hose to wash your hair.

Thanks for the Link!

That's my next project, linking to some of my favourites...unfortunately HTML is the one area of computers that I know next to nothing about.

You're all welcome :)

Supersize Me - it was entertaining and informative. No, Morgan Spurlock may not be the next big screen hottie, but he's still fun to watch. You laugh a little, learn a little, get slightly grossed out and start to avoid drive thrus a little more.

I want to be one of those people who exercise while watching tv, jogging in place or doing bicep curls, but I've yet to master that kind of multi-tasking.

The dance show was completely addictive, and at least for one evening I was motivated to get off the couch! The lady downstairs must have wondered what the hell I was doing up here last night tho!

I'll have to test that sex/dancing theory Sunny. Whatever happened to going out dancing? Do people still do that? And where can I sign up? I feel like dancing has been resigned to Prom, weddings and drunken ass shaking at clubs. And I do that at home with no cover charge (plus minimal embarrassment factor).
This is a long comment on my own blog. Does this count as a post for tonight???

Wow, a link, just for me? I don't know what to say. First off, I'd like to thank all the little people who made this possible. And by little people, I of course mean the Oompa Loompas who do the grunt work around WITFITS.
